King of the World

Finally. I've arrived at the City in the East. I know now the city's name is New York. Well, it was New York. My worst fear has been realized, there's really no one left. When I first got here my heart sank in my chest. The sight of the city at first overwhelmed me. It was just as the note had described it. There were huge skyscrapers around every corner as far as the eye could see, but it was all for nothing. No people anywhere.

I checked a few buildings to make sure but found nothing. The odd part is that there were no Z's either. In a city this big I would've expected the streets to be crawling with them, but not a single one could be found.

I searched the city like this for months, making sure that no building was left unchecked. Eventually I came across a huge crater where there looked to be a giant park before the massive explosion. Was this the cause of extinction in the city?

As time went on I found this place to be more of a home than anywhere else since the outbreak occurred. I decided to make this my permanent residence. Maybe the note wasn't completely wrong after all.
