It was as if it was a beautiful day. The sun was shining. The birds were flying and singing. The sky was a blue as could be. It was as if there was no apocalypse! A normal day in Outer Ring- no green sky or infected to cross your path!

"Hmm... Hmmm!!~"

Gil hummed a little tune to himself, swinging his arms at his side. In one paw, he held three dead squirrels. There was too much to carry, so he had buried a lot in holes to go back for. A three day patrol sure was worth it!

He squinted as the sun shown through a hole in the trees umbrella, shaking his head. The sun was much brighter here near his family's territory. Probably because there were many rocks to rest and sunbathe on.

As Gil was walking, a rustle in the bushes caused him to pause in his steps. Was it a stranger? Relative? Or a food stealer, for that matter?! He stared at the bush, scanning to see if anyone was there before taking a few steps away.
