A post on why I hate Heather!
Jokes aside, I want to "rant" about that, again. If you are sensitive please keep an open mind, or just not read it at all. Remember, I am not responsible for the way you choose to react!
Tw - Rape, Abuse, Death
So, I remember that hey, a lot of people don't realise that Heather raped Eli. That's concerning. - also, no, her being a girl or underage does not mean that she cannot be a vile human being.
Now, I know that is a wild, serious statement to make, and that they are fictional characters, but I don't think people realise what actually went down. I am always baffled when people praise Heather because to me, she isn't all that great. And I will tell you why!
For a fact; I don't mind Yenna being born, she is an angel and teenage pregnancies happen due to lack of education and neglect of said teenagers, I also do understand that Heather was neglected emotionally.
I mind how Heather's actions are brushed aside. Let me put it into context for you so you understand better!
Heather is a 15 year old girl, from a rich family, with at max an abusive mother who wants her to focus on academics. While this can make her depressed, it doesn't make her perspective on consent and boundaries distorted. She also has great access to education - exactly because of her mother, whom I hate btw. - and sex ed as well.
While Eli is a 16-17 year old boy who ran away from home around ages of 6-10 - I don't remember exactly - having no access to education at all, especially not sex ed. He also did not have friends to talk or learn from. Throughout all his life he experienced extreme beating for small things, verbal and emotional abuse. From everyone who should have been his family, and even on the streets when adults found him they didn't take care of him exactly, just lead him to commit crimes and teach him how to fight. Meaning his intimate, emotional and general intelligence was that of a child's.
I am not saying his mental age was low, but his intelligence was on the level of a child's in many ways due to extreme abuse. You can still be your biological age mentally and have lacking intelligence. While this certainly improved because of Gun, Krystal, Sally, Warren and Zack, he still requires gentle care, he still needs a lot of consideration when it comes to interactions. - consideration towards him, I mean. -
That after 1-2 years after Yenna was born. Well, at least based off of Sally's comment in chapter 406 - ? - that Eli still lives with his trauma and the fact that hey, yenna can walk.
If he still lives with his trauma in such deep way - which he will for a long time - then imagine a few days or few weeks after meeting Heather.
Around the time he met Heather he still thought that hiding from his mother then getting beaten was hide and seek, and that if a boy and girl hold hands they will get a baby.
So, to him, these beliefs were normal. He had the intimate intelligence of a child, or less - he was clueless to say the least.
He did not understand the heaviness of sex, or have any idea what it actually was.
If a person doesn't understand the act, they don't have the ability to consent even if they say 'yes' because they cannot comprehend what will come after that.
Eli clearly never had any experience with sexuality, have an idea of what it might be or even if it happened to him before it was in ways he wasn't able to consent.
Heather on the other hand was always portrayed as smart and responsible. While I understand that she had strict parents, that doesn't mean she is an angel child, although I don't think she would have had the ability to understand the consequences of her actions or how messed up it was. Remember, she still went to a public school with lots of kids whose parents differed from her own, and she also had friends, who are obviously not completely clueless. - like Sally for example. - so, even if she wouldn't have had sex ed, she would have had that at least.
Eli was also clearly very nervous of having a child due to adults in his life beating him up for even being in the same room as a girl. So, Heather would have had to go out of her way to somehow convince him " It's okay, we will not have a child if we do this. "
Also, I highly doubt Heather didn't know what condoms are. If she thought about sex, she must have thought of a lot of aspects of it.
I don't know if she was responsible for her death, or if it was a result of child birth, but either way, she left a teenager with the intelligence of a child with a baby... who was also afraid of having a baby.
Of course, Eli since then became very educated and smart in many ways, I am not trying to imply anything of him having the mental age of a child, because that's completely different. He has clearly changed a lot.
Either way as I said, I don't think Heather realised what she did, but it's still fucked up.
You do not have to agree with me or anything of the sort, I was just always shocked it's treated as something so minor, although I understand a lot of people are not very educated on the many forms of abuse. I just wanted to let thoughts about lookism off my chest to be able to just run away from everyday life, is all.
If you think this post is dumb, great! Move on! Absolutely don't expect you to see the world through my eyes. If you don't, that's great too, I would love to hear your thoughts.
Remember at the end of the day you can like or dislike whatever character you want, other people's opinion on them should not let your view waver unless you want it that way.
My next post will probably be about Samuel because I love the dude, probably more than just one! Either way, thank you if you have made it this far <3

Family Ties Chapter 7
Chapter Seven
They drove mostly in silence as they left town. Krystal lay on her back in the trunk of the car with 10K sitting upright beside her, cradling his rifle on his lap. He was scanning the road with his eyes, ready for anything.
Spotting no danger, he looked down at Krystal.
“How’re you feeling?” he asked.
“Better,” she replied with a smile. “That Oxy Doc gave me really helped.”
He looked relieved, and lay down beside her placing a soft kiss on her forehead.
They arrived in the next town by sunset.
“We’ll stop for the night, travel again in the morning,” Warren said. “Always safer by daylight.”
“There’s a Walmart supercentre a few blocks from here,” Krystal called out to her from her spot in the back. “We can stop there, grab some supplies.”
Soon, the Walmart loomed in front of them like a beacon of safety. Warren pulled into the parking lot and stopped close to the front doors. Krystal and 10K were the first to disembark, throwing the tailgate open and jumping out, grabbing what little luggage they had and passing things out to the others.
The sliding glass doors at the front of the store were open just wide enough for them all to fit through. As soon as they were in, Mac and Doc set about finding things to block the open door with.
Suddenly, a shot rang out. Warren had taken down a zombie that had been roaming around near the entrance.
“Walmart zombies,” Doc said. “There’s somethin’ you don’t see every day.”
Krystal had to bite her tongue to stop herself from laughing when she saw the shambling creatures wandering around. Just like in the photos she had seen on the internet before the apocalypse, some of their outfits were ridiculous.
“Imagine having to wander the Earth for eternity wearing that outfit,” Murphy said, nodding at a tall, gangly male zombie wearing what appeared to be a hot-pink tank top meant for a woman much smaller than him, blue jean-shorts that were a bit too short, and a pair of black cowboy boots. “Give ‘em mercy, Warren. Sheesh.”
Warren took aim and fired, swiftly putting down the zombie in question.
“Doc, on your left!” 10K yelled. Doc swung around, crowbar in hand, taking down a woman wearing a neon-pink leotard and running shoes.
Krystal took her scythe from her backpack, extending the handle to its full length. She ran up and sliced the blade through the neck of another zombie that was coming up behind Addy, sending a splatter of blood trailing after its head as it tumbled to the floor and rolled a few feet away. Murphy delivered a swift kick to the chest of a third one, sending it stumbling backwards, before Warren fired her weapon again and dropped the zombie in its tracks. Several shots rang out as 10K and Mack both discharged their weapons, picking off badly-dressed zombies left and right. Soon, the carnage was over. The floor of the lobby was littered with bodies and severed heads, and splashed with blood and brain-matter.
“3,846,” 10K said as he and Doc exchanged a high-five. Doc then wandered off to the Pharmacy to see what he could find, while Murphy and Warren cleared the perimeter. Warren soon gave the all clear, and they made their way to the Grocery department to scavenge for supplies. Krystal stuffed a bag of pasta into her backpack, but that was all she could find.
The group reassembled and headed into the Home department. Some of the display furniture had been smashed or toppled over, but most of it was still intact. They went over to the corner where the display beds were, and each chose one. Krystal had just stored her backpack under a double bed with a simple wooden frame and made up with white sheets and a purple marbled quilt when, somewhere toward the back of the store, there was a loud sound like wood breaking and metal scraping against metal.
“What now?” Murphy asked, rolling his eyes. Mack, his gun in hand, walked quickly out into the lobby to investigate. He came jogging back a moment later, looking alarmed.
“Warren, there’s more,” he reported. “Looks like someone had them locked in the restrooms, they broke down the doors.”
“Okay everyone, get ready,” Warren said. They armed themselves with their weapons, and made their way out to the lobby to meet the zombies head-on. Adrenaline pumping through her with every beat of her heart, Krystal extended her scythe again, just as the horde came lurching around the corner. She, Addy and Doc charged forward, swinging their weapons, while Mack, 10K and Warren stood back, shooting at them from a distance. Murphy stayed behind Warren. As one zombie fell, Krystal caught sight of the one shambling along behind it; a tall, solidly-built man with dark-brown hair. He wore a white shirt under a blue denim jacket and denim jeans. Krystal felt like all of her breath suddenly left her body. She swayed on the spot, feeling almost as weak as she had when she had fainted back at the house.
“No. Oh, God, no. No!” She screamed, her eyes burning as they welled up with tears and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
“Krys, what’s wrong?” Doc yelled over to her.
“Oh, shit,” Murphy said. “It’s Kevin.”
“Dad… “Krystal choked back a sob. “All this time, I thought…”
“Krys, come here.” Murphy came up beside her and put an arm around her. Shaking, she leaned against him, staring at the zombie that had once been her father as it shambled toward her. Its head cocked to the side, it stared at her with its dead eyes, and Krystal thought she saw a hint of recognition. 
“Krystal, I’m so sorry,” Warren said. “Do you want me to take care of him?”
“No,” Krystal replied, stepping away from her uncle and gripping the handle of her scythe tightly in one hand, while roughly wiping away her tears with the other. She was still shaking, but she took a deep breath and steeled herself. “No, if anyone’s gonna do it, it should be me.”
“Are you sure?” Murphy asked. “I can try talking to him…” Krystal shook her head.
“No, I got it.”
She approached the zombie slowly, until she was standing a foot away from him. It watched her with cold, dead eyes, clicking its teeth together and making a horrible wheezing sound.
“Kevin Miller, I give you mercy.”
The zombie lurched forward, snapping its jaws. Krystal swung the scythe up, severing her father’s head at the neck. His body slumped to the ground, and his head landed at her feet. With the brain still intact, it was still growling and snapping its jaws. Krystal brought the scythe down in one swift motion and plunged the blade right through the crown of its skull. The head fell silent. Pulling the blade free, Krystal dropped the scythe to the floor with a clatter, and at that moment, something inside her broke. Her knees gave way and she hit the floor. Murphy gathered her into his arms and helped her stand, and she clung to him, her face buried in his chest again, sobbing hysterically. She felt 10K come up behind her and slide his arms around her waist. The three of them stayed like that until Krystal felt like she could function again.
~*~
Later, Krystal was lying awake on her chosen display bed while Addy and Doc slept soundly in theirs. Mack and 10K were doing a last-minute patrol of the mall. Krystal perked up when she heard a pair of voices, speaking in hushed tones.
“Hey, Warren.” Krystal recognised her uncle’s voice. “I know we need to keep moving and all, but I’m worried about Krystal. I think we should give her some time to recover.”
“You’re right,” Warren agreed. “She’s been through a lot. We’ll give it another day.”
Krystal got up quietly and approached them.
“Don’t delay the mission on my account,” she said; Murphy jumped a little at the sound of her voice. “I’m fine.”
“Krys, you’re not fine,” Murphy insisted. “You just lost your Dad…”
“That thing wasn’t my Dad,” Krystal said sharply. She could feel a wave of anger bubbling up inside her; her chest started to feel tight and she started to tremble slightly. “I lost my Dad a long time ago. He stopped being my Dad when he abandoned me and left me to handle my alcoholic mother on my own.”
She sucked in a shaking breath.
“If he’d stuck around, maybe Mom would still be alive,” she said, her voice cracking. Tears were stinging her eyes now, and she couldn’t hold them back. “If he’d stuck around, maybe I wouldn’t have had to mercy her!”
“Krys–” Murphy tried to soothe her, but she cut him off.
“I hate him,” she wailed. “I HATE HIM!”
“Krys!” Murphy said, distressed, as she started to cry. “Hey, hey, hey. Come here.”
He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him. She hid her face in his chest and sobbed.
“I know, honey, I know…” Murphy said softly, nuzzling the top of her head. “Doc, gimme a hand here? You got anything?”
“I got some Valium,” Doc offered from somewhere to their left. He must have woken up while they were talking. “I can try giving her a half.”
“I don’t take–” Krystal tried to protest, but Murphy hushed her.
“Tonight, you do,” he told her firmly. She didn’t argue any further, and obediently took the pill Doc gave her. A short time later, she could feel the effects creeping up on her. 10K settled her into bed, then crawled in beside her. He put his arm around her protectively, and she curled up against his chest, basking in the warmth of his body head until sleep washed over her.
~*~
Krystal awoke the next morning feeling groggy, and still subdued. She didn’t say much as they ate their meagre scavenged breakfast, and stayed as close to 10K as possible. Doc and Murphy both watched her closely.
She wanted to tell them that she was fine, but she knew Murphy wouldn’t believe her. Deep down, she knew she wasn’t fine.
“Hey, Krys,” Addy said gently. “Wanna go shopping? That always cheers me up.”
Krystal hesitated before nodding with a soft smile, and the two of them hurried off to the Fashion department, dragging 10K and Mack with them.
Despite the looting that had gone on in the early days of the outbreak, the Fashion department was virtually untouched. Krystal and Addy searched the racks while 10K and Mack watched.
“Are girls always like this?” Krystal heard 10K ask quietly.
“Yup,” Mack replied dryly. “And this is just clothes. Wait’ll they find the shoe section.” Krystal flicked through the many hangers until she found a pair of black skinny jeans in her size. She then moved to the next rack, scrutinizing what it had to offer.
She instantly fell in love with burgundy, long-sleeved off-the-shoulder top. She draped it over her arm. Satisfied with what they had found, the girls went into the dressing rooms to change. Krystal stood in front of the wall-length mirror, examining herself critically. The jeans fit perfectly. The top hugged her curves in all the right places, and she loved how slender her shoulders looked. She pulled on the denim jacket, put her shoes back on and stuffed her old clothes into her backpack.
Addy stepped out of the next cubicle, wearing a sleeveless grey cowl-neck tank top and a similar pair of black skinny jeans, with gold embroidered flowers running down the side of each leg.
They re-joined Mack and 10K, and Krystal laughed at the look of awe on 10K’s face when he saw her. She slipped her arms around his waist, stood on her toes and kissed him.
~*~
The group awoke at sunrise the next morning. They gathered their belongings and headed for the lobby. Warren, as always, led the way with her gun drawn and her back to the wall, checking for any approaching zombies.
“Coast is clear,” she said. “Let’s go.”
Keeping their weapons at the ready, they followed her lead out into the parking lot. Staying close together they walked quickly across the lot, between cars, staying under cover as much as they could. 10K was behind Krystal, but suddenly he stopped.
“Whoa, guys, check this out!” He called out. Everyone stopped to look at what he’d found. Krystal’s jaw dropped as she laid eyes on it: a car modified into a replica of the 1966 Batmobile.
“Holy shit, how cool is this?” she gushed running her hand over the sleek black paint. “Such a shame to leave it just sitting here.”
“Guys,” Warren said, exasperated. “We don’t have time for–”
“Fuck yeah, we do,” Murphy said.
“I’ll get her started,” Doc volunteered. He jimmied the driver’s side door open and climbed in, looking under the dashboard.
“By the way, Uncle Murph, I’ve been thinking,” Krystal said while Doc worked.
“Uh-oh,” he teased her playfully. “Should I be worried?”
“Oh, shush,” she scolded him, rolling her eyes. “As I was saying, I’ve been thinking and I’ve decided to change my last name.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I’ve wanted to change it since Dad left,” Krystal explained. “But I could never decide what I wanted to change it to. But now, I know exactly who I want to be. As far as I’m concerned, I’m Krystal Murphy, now.” Murphy stared at her, dumbfounded.
“Aww, Krys…” he said, giving her a tight hug. He stepped back, clearing his throat, and sniffed softly.
“You’re not gonna cry, are you, Murphy?” Mack teased him.
“Shut up,” Murphy grumbled. Mack chuckled, smirking.
The car’s engine finally roared to life. Doc slid out from under the dashboard as Krystal and 10K cheered.
“There ya go!” Doc announced triumphantly.
“Sweet,” Murphy said. “I’m driving.”
He jumped in the driver’s seat. Krystal sat up front with him while 10K, Addy and Mack piled into the back seat. Murphy revved the engine a few times before pulling out of the lot, with Doc and Warren following behind in Krystal’s mother’s car.
The next leg of the journey to California had begun.

This is a MUST WATCH video. The data show that Warren is the top choice for the rich and liberal elite. This is one of the many reasons I do not support Warren. I also find it sad that Bernie was attacked in 2016 for having a base that was too white, yet Bernie has the most diverse coalition while Warren’s is the richest and whitest yet the media doesn’t criticize her for this hmmm ....

Family Ties Chapter 6
A/N: This is the second last chapter of Family Ties. Hope you guys have enjoyed reading it!
Chapter Six
“Good morning,” 10K greeted Krystal the following morning as she slowly emerged from a deep sleep. It took her a moment to remember why she was curled up against his chest.
“Morning.” She smiled up at him as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. They got up and got dressed, and she followed him out to the kitchen where the rest of the group were waiting. Addy smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
 “Hey, 10K,” Murphy said. “Come here a minute.” Krystal and 10K shared a glance before he followed Murphy into the living room. He came back a minute later, looking a little disturbed. Krystal glanced over at her uncle, who gave her the ‘I’m watching you’ signal. 
“What was that about?” She asked 10K.
“He said he knows what’s going on between us, and that I’d better treat you like a lady or he’ll eat my brains with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”
“Of course, he did,” she sighed with a grin, rolling her eyes. “Don’t worry, he’s all talk. My mom told me he gave my dad the same lecture when they started dating.”
The group gathered in the kitchen as Doc toasted and served up the last loaf of bread for breakfast. The stereo was playing softly in the living room. It wasn’t any of the music from Krystal’s own collection, or her parents; she assumed Citizen Z must have put one of his records on again.
“We’ve got enough food to last until tomorrow,” Warren said. “But after that, we’ll need to do another supply run. We can stay one more day but then we need to get moving.”
“Are you sure you still want to come with us to California?” Murphy asked Krystal, seriously. She nodded.
“Positive.”
She could sense his unease, but he seemed to accept her decision. Suddenly, the portable radio clipped to Addy’s belt crackled to life.
“Delta X-Ray Delta, this is Citizen Z, do you copy?” Citizen Z’s voice came through the speaker.
Addy yanked it from her belt and clicked the button.
“Citizen Z, this is Addy. We copy.”
“Addy!” Citizen Z sounded excited and relieved. “Thank God. You guys are in Colorado right now, correct?”
“Yeah,” Addy replied. “In Colorado Springs. Why, what’s up?”
“Okay, can you give me a precise location; a street name or something?”
“We’re at 517 Yucca Drive,” Krystal told him over Addy’s shoulder. “What’s going on?”
“Uh, wait,” Citizen Z replied hesitantly. “Who am I speaking with?”
“My name’s Krystal, I’m kind of a newbie in the group,” Krystal explained briefly. “We’re at my house.”
“Oh, okay,” he said, more cheerfully. “Hi, Krystal. Um, I don’t want to alarm you guys, but – well actually this is a bit alarming–”
“Get on with it,” Murphy growled from the doorway.
“There’s a horde headed in your direction. Did you say Yucca Drive?”
“Yes,” Krystal said.
“Ooh, boy. Okay, judging by these co-ordinates, you’ve got a maximum of an hour before they’re right on top of you,” Citizen Z said.
“Shit,” Warren said, pressing a hand over her forehead in frustration and walking a couple of steps away.
“Whether you choose to leave now or stay and defend your property is your decision,” Citizen Z told them. “But the package is Priority One.”
“The package has a name!” Murphy snapped.
“Roger that,” Warren said, giving Murphy a warning glare, which silenced him. “Thanks for the heads up.”
“Good luck,” Citizen Z said, and the radio clicked. He was gone. They were on their own.
“What do we want to do?” Warren asked the rest of the group.
“My top priority right now is Krystal’s safety,” Murphy said. “Besides, this is technically her house, so let’s let her decide.”
This was unexpected. Krystal’s mind raced, trying to come up with a solution.
“I say we hold out as long as we can,” she said. “If we get overrun, we make a break for it. We were planning to leave tomorrow, anyway.”
“Okay,” Warren agreed. “Let’s get this place locked up tight.”
With that, they scattered. Everyone went to a different room, checking doors and windows for any possible entry points.
Krystal ran down the hall to her room and shut the window, locking it and drawing the curtains. As she left the room, she grabbed the Beretta from her nightstand and slipped it into the holster that 10K had given her. She retrieved her scythe from its spot next to the front door and returned to the living room, shutting the radio off so that the house was silent. 10K had retrieved his rifle and was sitting on the couch, loading it. Krystal sat beside him, leaning against his shoulder. Addy and Mack were the next to reappear. Addy had the Z-Whacker slung over her shoulder and Mack’s handgun was holstered on his belt. Warren appeared, leaning against the doorframe, with her own gun holstered as well. Doc and Murphy reappeared last; Doc was armed with his crowbar. Murphy sat on Krystal’s other side, staying close to her and keeping her between himself and 10K. She felt safer with them there, if only slightly.
After what seemed like an eternity, she began to hear noises outside in the yard.
Shit, Krystal thought, a chill running down her spine. She had hoped that the zombies would simply wander through the street and pass them by. Warren quietly moved toward the front door and hit the light switch, plunging the house into darkness. Now, their only light source was the glow of the full moon through the curtains.
There was a loud, wooden thump outside in the backyard. It sounded way too close for Krystal’s liking.
“What was that?” Doc whispered. His question was followed by another thud.
“Oh, God,” Krystal whispered, her heart skipping a beat. “They’re on the back porch.”
She felt her uncle stiffen beside her, but he remained silent. Warren trained her gun on the back door, ready to shoot if she had to.
It was then that Krystal sat bolt upright with a gasp.
“Fuck!” she yelped, momentarily forgetting to stay quiet.
“What?” Warren whispered sharply.
“Did anyone lock the back door?”
No one said a word for a moment as the group exchanged terrified glances.
“Aw, hell,” Murphy said. “No. No, we did not.”
“Shit!” Krystal stood up. “I’ll get it, everyone into the garage!”
“No, Krys, don’t!” Murphy warned her, but she was already halfway to the back door. She reached out to flick the lock, when suddenly the door burst open so forcefully that the frame splintered. She screamed as she was knocked backward and five zombies came lurching through the door, snarling and snapping their jaws.
“KRYSTAL!” Murphy screamed, leaping to his feet. She heard the group rush over to defend her, and felt 10K grab her by the arm and pull her to her feet. She could taste blood, and realised that her lip was bleeding. 10K pushed her behind him, aiming his rifle and taking a shot. The first zombie went down, but by this time, several more were pushing their way through the broken door. Gunshots were going off continuously as Mack, Warren and 10K picked off zombies left and right. Krystal staggered over to the garage door, trying to open it. She finally got the door open and stumbled down the steps, with Murphy behind her. Soon after, the rest of the group followed. Krystal could still hear the zombies’ faint wheezing and growling, so she knew that not all of them were dead.
Krystal made sure the interior garage door was locked, but for good measure she also barricaded it with an old microwave and a couple of boxes filled with junk.
“That’ll hold them for a little while,” Warren said. “Stay quiet. They’re drawn to sound; if they can’t hear us, they’ll lose interest.”
“Murphy, can’t you do your zombie mind-control thing?” Mack spoke up. “Make them leave!”
“Zombie mind-control?” Krystal blinked up at her uncle.
“I’ll explain later,” he told her. he went over to the door and stood in front of it, holding his hand out toward it. There was a moment of silence, before the zombies resumed slamming themselves against the door.
“They’re not listening,” Murphy said. He looked tired, and his breathing was heavy. “All they care about is getting to a food source. They’re starving.”
“Shit!” Krystal squealed as the door’s hinges gave way. The door opened an inch or two and a Z tried to reach its gnarled, decomposing hand through the small gap, only to have the door close on it.
“Okay, we need a plan B!” Warren said, leaning with her back against the door, bracing herself with her legs.
“I have a solution,” Murphy declared confidently.
“Thank God,” Warren sighed, relieved.
“It involves fire.”
“Absolutely not,” Warren told him, rolling her eyes.
“Actually, that might not be such a bad idea,” Krystal backed her uncle up. “There’s plenty of alcohol left, we could make some Molotov cocktails.”
“Krystal, we are not setting your house on fire.”
“Why not? We’re leaving tomorrow anyway. There’s nothing left here for me.”
The barricade shifted. The door burst open and the zombies practically fell over each other in their mad rush to get into the room.
10K climbed onto the roof of the car to get a clear shot as Krystal and the others ducked. They fell one by one as he fired off seven shots in quick succession. One, however, turned its attention to Krystal. As it charged her, she yanked the Beretta from her waistband, took aim, and pulled the trigger. As the gun clicked, she realized she had forgotten to reload it. She turned and ran around the back of the car, tripping and falling as she went. She heard an odd cracking sound and felt a searing pain in her lower abdomen, but she ignored it. She rolled onto her back as the zombie loomed over her, its jaws only inches away from her face. A shot rang out, and she shut her eyes as blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.
The room was finally silent. It was over.
It was only now that Krystal paid attention to the pain in her stomach. She placed her hand over her stomach, and when she lifted it again her palm was covered in blood. She looked down and almost vomited at the sight of a spreading bloodstain on her shirt and a shard of glass sticking out of it. She pulled the shard out, blood spirting from the wound. She got up shakily and walked back around the car to where the others stood.
“Um, okay,” she said. “Slight problem.”
“Oh, shit,” Murphy said, noticing the injury himself. “Krys!”
Krystal’s head was buzzing, and her vision was starting to tunnel. She felt herself slumping to the ground, and only faintly felt 10K’s hand on the back of her head, preventing it from hitting the floor as she fainted.
she opened her eyes again to find herself lying on the garage floor, with Murphy and 10K crouching beside her. 10K was still supporting her head.
“Oh, thank God,” Murphy said, stroking her forehead. “I thought I’d lost you.”
“Don’t try to sit up too fast, Krys,” Doc warned her. “You got lucky; the wound wasn’t too deep. There was an old lightbulb on the floor; I guess you landed on it when you tripped. I’ve put a couple of stitches in and bandaged you up, but you’re probably gonna be a little light-headed since you fainted, and all.”
“Thanks, Doc,” she said weakly. The wound still stung, but when she placed her hand over it, it was no longer bleeding.
“D’you need anything for the pain?” the older man asked. He held up the old backpack he always carried with him. “I should have something in here.”
“Yeah, thanks,” she replied. He rummaged around until he found a bottle of Oxycodone. He handed her a pill and she dry-swallowed it.
“I think this is our queue to get back on the road,” Warren said. “There’s bound to be more Z’s out there, it’s not safe here anymore.”
“Does the car still work?” Mack asked.
“Yeah, it does,” Krystal said, suddenly remembering. “I haven’t driven it for a while because I wanted to save the gas for when I really needed it. We’ll all fit, but someone might have to ride in the trunk.”
“Okay, let’s go,” Warren said. “I’m driving.”
Mack went around behind the car and hauled the garage roller door open. Light-headed but able to stand, Krystal went up the garage steps and retrieved her scythe and her mother’s keys from the hook on the wall on the other side of the door, and gave them to Warren. Murphy took the front passenger seat while Doc, Addy and Mack climbed in the back. Krystal opened the tailgate, revealing a large, open compartment behind the back seat. She and 10K loaded the few belongings everyone had into the trunk and then climbed in. they shut the tailgate behind them and lay side-by-side, leaning against the back of the rear seats.
Thankfully, the car started. They backed out down the driveway and pulled out into the street. As they began to drive away, Krystal took one last look at what had been her home for the last four years.

A brief story about that time Elizabeth Warren ran against a Republican nude male model and won.
(Buckle up for the cameo from Susan Collins- it’s a doozy)
When Senator Ted Kennedy died unexpectedly in 2009, attorney & former State Sen Scott Brown won a special election for the U.S. Senate seat representing Massachusetts in an upset
Viewed as a moderate Republican, he received support from some prominent Democrats, became popular in the state of Massachusetts & inspired this SNL skit.
Tumblr media
One thing that got a lot of attention was his history as a male model. In college he won Cosmo’s “Sexiest Man Alive” contest & won $1,000 to pose naked.
He went on to do various modeling gigs while juggling school & his legal career.
Tumblr media
In an interview with The Boston Herald, his former agent Maggie Trichon said he was “gorgeous” and that he had "excellent hands," with "straight fingers, perfect nails" and ability to "hold things correctly."
You know... talent.
Tumblr media
Fast FWD to 2012. For the first time he is up for re-election.
Enter: Elizabeth F*@!ing Warren. Fresh off creating the CFPB & predicting the 2008 financial crash, she runs against him.
Expectations were low- there had never been a female U.S. Senator or Governor elected from the state of MA. He was polling 8 points above her.
Tumblr media
She did what she does best. Persist.
She campaigned on the message she still does today: the economy is working better & better for the ultra-rich but leaving working class behind.
This election was the first to include a “People’s Pledge” to limit the use of funds from outside groups.
Tumblr media
Supporters of Brown broke the pledge two times, and his campaign agreed to donate money to a charity of Warren’s choice in return. She chose The Autism Consortium.
Elizabeth Warren really crushed it at the debates with Brown- facing off attacks about her ancestry, gender, & alleged “elitism.”
When asked how she paid for college, she replied, “Well, I kept my clothes on.”
Tumblr media
Brown was widely criticized for later saying in response “thank God.”
That was when GOP Sens. Susan Collins & Kelly Ayote came to his defense... you know just like male Senators would do for a female candidate if she had a history of nude modeling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Compare that to the treatment of various female candidates that have run for office & were later slut-shamed for risqué photos: Katie Hill, Krystal Ball (not my favorite pundit but still), or Rachel Hundley.
tOTaLlY fAiR amirite?
Once this election was all said and done Elizabeth Warren won by a sizable margin and she was easily re-elected in 2018.
Tumblr media
She proved that she could take on a popular, dare I say sexy?, male Republican incumbent and win.
But as for Scott Brown...
After working as a Fox News contributor and board member at a paper company, he moved to New Hampshire so he could run for U.S. Senate again.
He lost to Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, making him the first man in history to lose Senate races to two different women.
Tumblr media
One footnote: I don’t think anyone be they male, female, GNC, or non-binary should be disqualified from a job because of past nudity or sexually oriented work. Just wanted to point out double standards. Plus when he’s propping up a misogynistic system, context is different.
