This is entry 9 of Rogers Camel. it has been 6 days since john died and 12 days since we left our tribe. Jack, kathy, and I started back up our journey to the living lands. we are making our way through the old ruins of the city still trying to avoid the giant scorpions still feeling the loss of john. it's mid day right now we are trying to stay in the shade as much as we can.43Please respect copyright.PENANAlEWEyDhzAX
i tell jack and kathy we need to stop for a water break we need to keep liquids in us its 110 degrees out right now. so we stop for a water break and eat a little food. I go see how jack is doing he has hardly spoke since john died, and i give kathy a worried look. Kathy tells me it is only natural for him to feel grief you just got to get him to talk about it but give him time.43Please respect copyright.PENANAIHyOBkmlMf
I smile and walk away to go do a recon to see what is up ahead, to make sure it is safe. While I'm gone jack getts some wood to start a fire so kathy can cook up some supper.43Please respect copyright.PENANAeqFf4aSxsV
as i go ahead a little it's just rubble and ruins of the old till i see something in the distance. iIt looks like light from another fire it could just be something that started on its own or it could be more people. i sneak closer to see what it is if it is people i don't want them to see me43Please respect copyright.PENANAUMCz7o6z3M
.as i get closer i see that it is other people. But they are dressed differently, they look to be in hides fur hides. I don't recognize the hides they are wearing but then again, i know very little. i decide to go back to our camp and by time i get there they are already eating and kathy gets me some food.
after jack goes to bed i tell kathy what i found we discuss if we should meet em see if they are friendly i say we should. Kathy says we should get a good night sleep and sleep on it and decide in the morning.
who knows what they are capable of.
I try to sleep but every time i close my eyes i see John's face so i decide to stay up and watch over em, remembering that i promised john i would take care of my son.
