- Cassie's passing a lot of dead cars on her journey. Also lots of empty stretches in between.
- She sleeps in the empty cars at night. She never sleeps well, though.
- Cassie passes a sign for Cincinnati, which is about a mile away. It's on fire. Fires are really common now.
- The stench is really bad. There are lots of dead people in cities, apparently.
- Cassie's between exits when she finds the bodies. That doesn't sound good.
