He was beginning to wonder why he was bothering, to hold on to something during these quakes or whatever they were, or even to bother looking for any other survivors. He’d walked miles and miles, for so many days, it could be months even, how did he know? Crushed buildings, chopped up forests, great cracks in the earth, no other people, no animals.
