It has been quite the journey to get here, but finally, we have settled into this new place. The settlement of Claes is a sanctuary in this chaotic world overrun by the walking dead. Eva's pregnancy added an extra layer of urgency to our travels, but now that we are here, I can breathe a little easier.
The house we have been given is cozy and comfortable. It may not be grand or luxurious, but it provides us with shelter and safety – two things that are hard to come by these days. Liam has taken charge of securing the perimeter and ensuring our protection from any threats that may lurk outside.
Eva's condition weighs heavily on my mind. She carries Liam's child within her – a symbol of hope amidst all this darkness. I find myself drawn to her more than ever before, wanting to protect her and ensure she remains safe throughout this ordeal.
Louise has proven herself invaluable during our journey and continues to do so now that we are settled in Claes. Her resourcefulness and quick thinking have saved us more times than I can count. As much as I try to keep my distance from others, Louise has managed to break through my walls with ease.
Art still holds a special place in my heart even amidst all this chaos. The beauty created by human hands serves as a reminder of what once was – before everything fell apart. I find solace in sketching scenes from memory or creating something new altogether.
There is an unspoken bond between us four survivors – forged through hardship and shared experiences unlike anything else imaginable. I am grateful for their presence in my life during these trying times. As night falls over Claes and the shadows grow longer, I find myself reflecting on how far we've come and where our path will lead next.
This settlement offers respite, a temporary haven from the horrors outside. But deep down inside, I know that danger still lurks around every corner. And so, we must remain vigilant and prepared for whatever comes our way.
Together, we stand united against the darkness fighting for survival each day anew - Olivier
