Wheee!!!!

We recently started reading ‘The Road’ as our class book; I really like it so far and really have gotten into the story. I have tried putting myself in the characters’ shoes and its been really fun to read. I posted an extra blog last quarter and am going to use some snippets of it to write this post.
I sometimes have deep thoughts, only occasionally, that kind of “what if…” and the resulting epiphany of knowledge. Usually I can’t remember these past 5 minutes or so, but I recently had one that stuck with me. What if there was a plague or apocalypse, and I was the only one alive. There would be no one to greet me. No one to comfort me. But at the same time, there would be nothing to hide myself from. I would never have to pretend to be someone I’m not. No reason to change to fit in. I would truly be free. Of course this is only on the emotional level, I’m sure surviving post-plague or post-apocalypse would have obvious physical tolls on me. I probably wouldn’t live for long anyways. Plus all of the other survivors might try to eat me like in ‘The Road’
