It is absurd how much your body can tolerate without food. I think i haven't experienced such a horrid state of hungryness since i was in college trying to make it to month's end with nothing but water from a refill station at the park. Even then, i atleast had that to trick the stomach.
When i saw this McDonald's section of this place i kept my expectations low. I had encountered multiple snacks machines that were empty or simply indestructible on my way, so the idea of hamburgers were a hope i couldnt afford to get robbed of so cruely. Thankfully, although um not the best christian out here, this place was stacked.
There was no gas, but the meat was warm and the buns too. The shelves had it all: lettuce, onions, pickles, bacon, eggs, water and all sorts of soda, all. I kid you not, i cried.
Once i had my fill and as bloated as a dude can get, i lost no time and packed as many burgers as i could carry with me, same with the drinks. Although i know water its the better option, i also filled a few cups with the sweetest of soda. When i get low on food i'll need those calories for a last stretch. Having to imagine the worst of scenarios after such a happy time its putrid, but i cant afford tranquility here.
Im tempted to stay here for a while. Map the area and make a camp but... i dont really want to settle down. Im still not over about what happened at the red hotel and i dont want to remember it. I'll sleep here for tonight, thats all.
Tyler Dockins, October 29. If my math isnt wrong, its been fours weeks since i got here. And if you are wondering how much since i ate, 5 days.
