Falling half of the way down was not on my list to impress Ivory; I looked retarded, tripping over the only rock in sight. I felt even worse when she of all people came to help me up. My cheeks were more red than they were dirty from the fall because of my uncanny ability to hide my emotions. Thanks me!

"I'm fine," I reply to the somewhat concerned faces, "I was taking in the scenery and wasn't looking, okay? Can we go now."

"Alright then, are you sure you're not hurt Nick," Ivory says, "Let's keep moving then."

We walk for four more hours until the sun is directly above us before we are about a mile away from the burned town. This town looks even more intimidating closer because of the burned out windows and blackened buildings that are facing us. When we were a lot closer I could spot something hanging out of a window that fell to the ground a few seconds later. I walked up to the object and recoiled immediately, "Jesus Christ!" I shriek, "This is a burned body!"

"God…," Eric says, heavily dropping the food and water, "Jez, this is a body alright; this looks like it was from the fire last night. I wanted to meet people but not like this, now I don't like this place even more."
