Can't a father go out with his family again without something ruining it? I would have been happy if it had been just traffic causing the issue, but no, it had to be something much more outrageous – the apocalypse. Imagine what was supposed to be a family outing turning into a fight for survival against zombies in an instant. It doesn't change much, though. I'm still trying to be the best husband and father I can be, and the apocalypse ain't changing that!
After forcefully calming himself down, the next thing Malachi did was go to the closest car to him.
With the metal pipe in his hand that had become comfortable to grip for Malachi after a few swings, he went around the car to its fuel cap and opened it.
It wasn't for any specific purpose; Malachi just subconsciously did so as he wondered how he would get the fuel out of the car.
I need a hose, but where am I going to find one out here in the middle of nowhere? The car might have one in its trunk.
Malachi thought about this and felt it was worth a shot. He then went to the trunk of the car.
The car was just as abandoned as the others on the road, but only the front was badly damaged from crashing into another car.
Except it was a car that was already running out of fuel before the incident happened, Malachi reasoned that this one should have at least a certain amount of fuel for him to take.
