Survival.
Survival is the key.
Everyone knows the 5th Wave will soon be here.
This will be the final battle.
I either fight or die fighting.
I need to think.
I need to think fast.
What do I need to keep with me in order to survive?
The bare essentials.
A knife.
I need to be able to protect myself. I can’t trust anyone now. I can’t tell if they are one of us or one of them.
Pictures of my family.
I must not forget where I came from. I don’t want to forget who I really am. The people who loved me. The ones who made me who I am.
Bottled water
When I can find it, but it’s slowly running out. I worry what will be left to drink.
Canned food
This will soon run out too. I can only carry a small amount, so everything is eaten sparingly.
Notepad and pen
I have to remember everything that happens. I have to write it all down. Someone may need it in the future. Someday we will hopefully look back and laugh at this, but I’m not so sure now.
Sleeping bag
The nights are cold. So cold. Sleeping outside every single night is tough. This keeps the coldness a bay a little.
That’s my survival kit. What would you carry in yours?
