<br/>
<br/>
had ash driven before. more than he could imagine. ash lived in her car ever since she legally could. since she was sixteen ash cardale was the owner of a beautiful 1967 cadillac hearse she named boneita. she bought it online and made a home away from home. when she left home she had no money to afford an apartment and thus boneita became ash's home. but ash had to ditch the hearse a long time ago. she ran out of gas, of course, and her engine was failing and ash didn't have the parts to fix it. she still remembers exactly where she had put her car to rest. "i haven't driven for ages. i haven't found a functioning car with gas in forever. but yes, i do know how to drive." she put simply. that was something she was almost a bit excited about. it'd feel not have to walk on foot even if it was only temporary. <br/>
<br/>
ash admittedly laughed at his last comment and grabbed her bag that sat propped up against the ledge wall. she took out a mickey of jack daniels. it was almost gone but enough for a good couple drinks. ash unscrewed the top and took a good swig. the burning alcohol rushed down her throat and warning up her insides like hot chocolate on a warms winters day...with a kick. she then closed it and tossed it kindly over to her new travel buddy. "i found it in a liquor store that was obviously well ransacked. went in knowing i wasn't going to find anything. and even if it's only a mickey it has lasted me a while. i guess it isn't really responsible to drink when you have to be alert all the time. but it helps take the edge off." she joked a bit but didn't mind sharing. you appreciated the finer things in life now that the world is ending. a small drink, the beauties of running water, junk food, mattresses... <br/>
<br/>
a nice breeze ran through the air bringing on thin clouds above which hid the moon. the sun began fading a bit more from the sky so ash had finally gotten up and looked over to see the damage. thankfully zombies were already beginning to clear out a bit. she could see them hobbling away into the distance to prey on any local wildlife. a couple guarded the shop but were no longer trying to get in. the car, however, was also guarded by several zombies and was in perfect line of sight of others a little ways away as well. "alright, time to figure out a plan." she announced "we can try to make a run for it but we'd need to be fast. we'd have the block after us so we'd have to be able to get out of the town without any issues."<br/>
