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!
Perhaps there was something that most men in the world could relate to, which was the habit of refusing to show any form of weakness in front of their loved ones, especially to their partners.
It was the same for Malachi, even though his current weakness was a bit strange.
While he felt a heavy sense of weakness that couldn't be faked, as if even a young teenager could easily push him to the floor, he could also exhibit strength that was three times greater than that of an average man.
One could say his weakness was contradictory.
On one end, he was weak, and on the other end, he still had significant strength.
It was confusing as it was mysterious.
This wasn't the thought running through Malachi's mind at the moment, though.
As he laid a hand on the wall close to him to maintain his balance and prevent himself from falling, Malachi watched as his wife hurriedly made her way towards him.
