Some time passes as The Old Man told of settling in and that after about a month or so the weather changed drastically!

He had said even up till shortly before he passed he hoped he could see one last snow fall before the end , but it never would be as things became so humid,

And in others frozen wastes, as he was staying near The Barren River's the whole are began to freeze into a landscape of ice and frost and tundra as even the ground soon began to become solidly frozen all the time even during the times it would normally be rainy and damp.

Because of this, The Old Man told of the first encounters with "Waster's"who are known by as they use and use and kill to get whatever they need, even if it was only one more drink or taste of water or anything edible.

First finding a wounded "Waster" The Old Man helped him bringing him in the gas station / restaurant. But it came to pass that he was beyond help as he had been wounded by someone through the lower chest and bleed awfully.

Later on in fighting the Waster's friends he found out it had been because one had stolen the others food and water stash the earlier day and ran, and the one who had been stolen from caught up and had put the short end of a sharpened lawn Mower Blade that had been shaped into a blade into his stomach.

Taking back his stuff the guy left the thief to die ad did nothing more.

These kinds of fights and squabbles happened more and more as it grew colder and harder to find needed supplies to live off of, and as "Waster's" they saw no need to hunt and gather only to steal one another things or someone who they found still surviving out theres things, which brings us to The Old Man, who shortly after finding the wounded one had to bind up the doors to the gas station/ restaurant in an attempt to make it look abandoned again this didnt work, and as the small group of Waster's came to try and take everything The Old Man had, he got every weapon he had out strapped them down and prepared for war! .
