00:00The morning sun used to mean something different in Havenwood.
00:03It meant coffee brewing, kids laughing on their way to school,
00:06the gentle hum of a town waking up.
00:09Now, it just means you can see them better.
00:12The shuffling figures, the vacant eyes,
00:14the groans that have replaced the morning birdsong.
00:18This is our reality now.
00:19My name is Alex and this...
00:22This is what's left of my home.
00:24It all happened so fast.
00:26One minute, we were complaining about traffic and deadlines.
00:30The next, the world was ending.
00:32It started with a whisper, a strange flu, they said.
00:35Then the whispers turned to screams.
00:38People falling sick, then getting back up,
00:40but they weren't people anymore.
00:42They were hungry.
00:44We boarded up our homes, locked our doors.
00:46But the world we knew was already gone,
00:49devoured from the inside out.
00:51For weeks I was alone, hiding in my attic,
00:54living off canned beans and stale crackers,
00:57listening to the world die.
00:58The silence between the groans was the worst part.
01:02It was a heavy, suffocating silence,
01:04filled with the ghosts of what used to be.
01:07I thought I was the only one left.
01:09I was losing hope, thinking that maybe it was better to just...
01:13give in.
01:14Then one day I saw her,
01:15a flash of movement on the street below.
01:18Not the slow, mindless shuffle of the dead,
01:21but something quick, deliberate.
01:23A young woman, maybe a few years older than me,
01:26moving like a phantom through the hordes.
01:29Her name is Maya.
01:30She was a survivalist, a prepper.
01:33The kind of person we all used to laugh at.
01:35Oh, nobody's laughing now.
01:37She found me half-starved and terrified,
01:40and for the first time in forever,
01:42I wasn't alone.
01:44Maya taught me how to survive,
01:45not just how to hide, but how to fight.
01:47How to see the dead not as our former neighbors,
01:51but as obstacles.
01:53She taught me that a library isn't just for books.
01:56It's a fortress.
01:58A supermarket isn't just for food.
02:00It's a minefield of resources and dangers.
02:03Every single day is a lesson.
02:06Lesson 1.
02:07Always check your corners.
02:08Lesson 2.
02:09Never, ever hesitate.
02:11Lesson 3.
02:12Hope is a resource,
02:14just as valuable as food or water,
02:16and you have to protect it fiercely.
02:18Together, we started to carve out a life in the ruins.
02:22We're a strange team.
02:23I'm the strategist,
02:25the one who can look at a map
02:26and find the safest route.
02:28Maya is the muscle, the action.
02:31She can take down three walkers with a crowbar
02:33and not even break a sweat.
02:36We learn to communicate without words,
02:38a shared glance, a subtle nod.
02:41In this new world,
02:42trust is the only currency that matters.
02:44We weren't just surviving,
02:46we were searching.
02:47Before the lines went dead,
02:49we heard whispers of a safe zone,
02:51a community on the west coast,
02:53supposedly untouched by the infection,
02:56a beacon of hope in a world drowning in darkness.
02:59It's a long shot,
03:00a crazy, desperate gamble.
03:02But it's better than waiting to die in Havinwood.
03:05So, we started gathering supplies for the journey.
03:09A beat-up pickup truck we found in an old garage.
03:12Cans of fuel siphoned from abandoned cars.
03:15A dwindling supply of ammo
03:17and a map marked with danger zones and potential shelters.
03:21Every supply run is a roll of the dice.
03:24You never know what you'll find.
03:26Sometimes it's a jackpot,
03:27a forgotten stash of medical supplies.
03:30Other times,
03:31it's a trap,
03:32a building teeming with the dead,
03:34and you have to run for your life.
03:36Last week was one of the bad times.
03:38We were clearing out a pharmacy for antibiotics,
03:41and it seemed quiet,
03:43too quiet.
03:44We got what we needed,
03:45but as we were leaving,
03:47the exit was blocked.
03:49A horde bigger than any we'd seen before,
03:51drawn by a car alarm that had short-circuited.
03:54We were trapped.
03:55The moans were deafening.
03:57The sheer number of them pressing against the glass doors was terrifying.
04:01Maya looked at me,
04:02her face grim.
04:04There was a fire escape on the roof,
04:05she said,
04:06her voice barely a whisper over the chaos.
04:09It's our only chance.
04:11We fought our way to the back,
04:12through aisles of fallen shelves and grasping hands.
04:16I'm not as strong as her,
04:17but I've learned to be quick.
04:19We made it to the roof,
04:20just as the doors below gave way.
04:22We could hear them flooding the store,
04:24a wave of pure hunger.
04:26We ran,
04:27leaping across the gap to the next building,
04:30our hearts pounding in our chests.
04:32We didn't stop running until the sun came up.
04:35That night,
04:36huddled in a cold,
04:37empty office building,
04:38looking out over the dead city,
04:41I asked her if she ever gets scared.
04:43She was quiet for a long time,
04:45cleaning her knife by the faint moonlight.
04:48Every second of every day, Alex,
04:49she finally said.
04:50Fear keeps you sharp.
04:53It's when you stop being scared that you get careless,
04:55and getting careless gets you killed.
04:58She was right.
04:59Fear isn't a weakness.
05:00It's a tool.
05:01It's the alarm bell that keeps you alive.
05:04Our journey is just beginning.
05:06The road ahead is long and filled with monsters,
05:09both the dead and the living.
05:11We've heard stories about other survivors,
05:13groups that have turned on each other,
05:16becoming more dangerous than the walkers themselves.
05:18In a world with no rules,
05:21the worst parts of humanity can come crawling out.
05:24But we have each other.
05:26We have a goal,
05:27and we have hope.
05:28We're leaving habit behind.
05:30We're leaving the ghosts and the memories.
05:33We're driving west into the unknown.
05:36It's a journey for survival,
05:37a search for a future that might not even exist.
05:40But we have to try.
05:42Because in a world of the dead,
05:44the most defiant act you can commit
05:46is to simply keep living.
05:48And that's exactly what we're going to do.
05:51This is our story.
05:52The story of two survivors
05:54against a world of a billion dead.
05:57We don't know if we'll make it.
05:58We don't know what's waiting for us out there.
06:01But we're going to find out.
06:03Join us on this journey.
06:05Follow our path as we fight for every sunrise,
06:07for every mile,
06:08for the chance to be human again.
06:10Thanks for watching.
