Sleeping in my Walk

100 pages left and the Walkers have traveled 200 miles at 4mph, without stopping. When you stop, you die. You do get 3 warnings before the soldiers shoot you, but those 3 warnings happen in the span of 2 minutes. Just enough time to squat and use the bathroom, or have a charley horse.

The Walkers are sleeping on their feet. Try to imagine walking to the point where your feet are raw and aching, you have blisters that keep popping, your toenails are rubbing off, you are eating concentrated food, there are non-stop spectators yelling, and you are trying to sleep while you are walking. Just the thought of my feet swollen and screaming at me makes my skin crawl.
