I become incredibly tired of just sitting around doing nothing, so I start walking again. Something in the distance catches my attention.

As I get closer, I can see that it's a wall of TVs inside a shop window, the screens dark.

I touch one carefully, running my decaying fingers over the smooth surfaces.

There's some sort of writing on the side. I tilt my head, narrowing my gaze as I try to figure it out.

LED

I make a groaning nose, dropping to my knees. I trace my finger in some of the dirt on the ground, trying to spell the weird word out.

The second and third symbols turn out ok, but the first looks like there's a weird tail at the top.

It looks more like ZED.

I stare at the word I've written for a while, trying to say it.

"Zed."

I groan, making nothing like the sound I'm trying to make.

"ZED," I try again forcefully.

I make the "d" sound, my everything else is a groan.

I frown, mustering all my strength and trying to shout it.

"Zzzeeedd," I moan.

I straighten up instantly, a lopsided grin appearing on my browned lips.

"I did it! I said that word!" I celebrate silently.

I look down at it again. "Zzzeeedd."

I nod assertively, stumbling away as I groan that word over and over.

"Maybe that can be my name," I think.

I nod assertively at the idea of having a name.

Zed.

My name is Zed.
