If you could go to heaven now, would you?

I leaned against the dumpster, after first scrounging around inside it to shop for my next meal. Seven days. Nine meals. And this one was the best. On hot days, it paid to find the food quickly. Non-stale bread, delicious chicken, and whatever sauce my leg had rubbed against tastefully completed the feast.

My journey would take me through many small towns such as this. I would not find many people, and no large cities, unlike the boyhood days my grandfather had often talked about. No one had much to spare, but most folks had compassion for walkers; a few would freely toss perfectly good leftovers in the trash, knowing they would not be wasted. Water faucets could normally be found without too much effort. And three days ago, a lady invited me to her house. While she washed my clothes, I borrowed her shower. I probably needed to find another nice lady soon.

Walkers. I never thought I would become one. Walking, of course, was no big deal. Though I knew a few people who had bicycles, the roads - if one could call them that - were far too damaged and neglected to be of any use. And even fewer people had horses, so walking three or four miles a day around town was the norm. But walkers, those who traveled across the country for whatever reasons they had, could cover twenty or more miles in a day. I hoped to average at least fifteen. One week down; four or five to go.

A full stomach, ground that was not unbearably hard, and a worn backpack serving as a pillow - it was more than enough enticement for a very tired thirteen-year-old girl to surrender to a nap.
