September 27, 2035
Jackson, Wyoming
I sat up from the driver's place in the Ford F-150 I must have fallen asleep. i checked the time on my nearly broken watch. maybe i should find myself a Rolex, I thought on second thought it's enough glare for a sniper to catch. Sam my dog was lying at my feet just now waking up. dogs have incredible hearing, but blind dogs can hear even better. one time San heard the tweak of a sniper rifle trigger, and nudged me just in time for the sniper to miss his shot. I owe this dog my life. Sam was blind from birth. nobody wanted him so they tossed him out of the safe zone, around the same time I left. I crossed paths with him he's been following me around ever since. we crossed paths with two other survivors who didn't want to kill us. Joel, a grey haired man with a thick beard, and his daughter I think, she had long red hair and green eyes. Ellie. I felt something between us. the way she looked at me made me think. how could someone like a guy with one eye that walks around with a blind dog. I should get to the one eye thing. A man named William Carver. My father. he stabbed my eye out with a stick when I was sixteen, because I told him he had done enough drinking for the day. good riddance. he was dead now. bleeding out in a ditch. I shot him. "nobody should have to shoot their own dad" Joel had said. "he wasn't a father, he barely knew me" I had replied the truth was he wasn't always like that. he was a good guy when I was younger. before my mom died, but that stories not important the story that is about to be told is what you are here for. the story that changed my life forever. for better or worse the beginning of the end.
