31 Days of Angst; Day #20 [Survivor's Guilt]

The days were blending together as Winter attempted to survive in the hellish landscape that had devastated the world. There seemed to be no end to the virus or any cure in sight. Most of the world had succumbed to either turning with the infection, taking their deaths in their own hands, or being in Winter's shoes; forced to continue on. She had no idea why it was her that survived all this time. Was it just her training that allowed her to make smart choices? Was she destined to fix the world? Or is it that her particular death was in the near future, farther than she could see? The burden of being the only one of her sector that had the world's luck laid heavy on her heart. While she sometimes enjoyed her days with Zoey and could forget that the world was in shambles even when she slept next to a zombie, it never sat right with her. She should've died along with her comrades. There was no reason it should be her alive and not the others. Days that she doesn't run the idea of taking the cowards way out come by solemnly. Winter can never bring herself do such a thing, however. At least, not in her current state of mind.
