What we’d find or what we’d do when we got there was anybody’s guess.  For now it was a plan, and that seemed to be how things got done in the new, dead world in which we lived.

On the way, Flex and I discussed just how to break much of the news to our new friends, and quite possibly, family.  That dead people were digging out of their graves would be hard to swallow for most
people who
hadn’t seen it
for themselves
.  That some sort of gas was coming out of almost every surface of the earth, and might continue for a million years, was possibly even harder to comprehend, considering what its effects were.

And lastly, the hardest thing to swallow was that we could ever overcome this apocalypse; that we could ever fight the walking dead and win.

But as I reached over and
felt Flexy’s fingers wrap around my four unbandaged ones, and
heard my daughter Trina begin to sing the
chorus
of Elton John’s “Can You Feel
t
he Love Tonight,” from Lion King,
I knew on
e thing for certain:

We would win.

Wait a minute.  Flexy just started singing along with Trina.  Then I joined in.

Fuck
what I said before.
 

We’d already won.
