Checking my trusty weapon, I found it loaded and clean. Liz had indeed kept it safe until I needed it again. Satisfied at its condition, I placed it in my holster. “Ready?”
Elizabeth nodded. Somehow she looked older, wiser, and hardened. Maybe it was her new shorter hairstyle, but maybe it was a new attitude. She looked ready to me.
“I'm ready,” she said.
We walked to the fence to begin our patrol. Nothing fancy, just a little stroll to keep out the hungry zombies or anything else that wanted to get inside. Elizabeth caught me up on what had been going on for the last few days, and I told her about my adventure with Claire outside the gate. Everywhere in Cannon Fields, people were going about with business as usual. Fires were set in stoves, hunters returned with the catch of the day, and the mechanics were busy fixing our machines. The soil was being turned in preparation for new crops, and soon the empty lots would soon be filled with food. Another cycle would begin. It was the business of survival.
Elizabeth and I followed the fence and disappeared into the shadows of some overhanging trees. It was dark and cold in the shade, but I wasn't concerned. For now, everything was back to normal.
