Day 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, and 26.
Sorry for hte long delays between posts. I’m just busy, and this comes secondary to, you know, survival.
To summarize:
We’ve set up the food depository as a good base now. We may move there full time soon. We spent more and more time there now, and everything is more sturdy there. The only problem is what to do with the car, but we can figure that out later.
We’ve been...
Zombie File #2 (Day 25)
Confirmation of running abilities. Awkward, inhuman running. Like they don’t have full range of motion, perhaps
Possible long range communication, investigate further.
Persistance comes with the size of a group. One zombie seems minorly interested in a house, two seem more, six can stay for many minutes, more can stay for over an hour. A horde, days.
Do not seem terribly interested in...
Day 25, 24
Ok sorry about that. We got… distracted for a bit.
So after this whole thing we figured that the second house is not a good place to be (after all, the zombies have already gotten in it once).
So we decided that they next best place would be the Mormon food and supply place.
After all, it is full of what is needed in case of an apocolypse.
Problem was, it wouldn’t lock, if we...
Day 23, 22, 21
I’m not dead. Don’t worry. No computer nearby though. Safe in the Mormon food depository. More when I can.

Day 20
So I have 25 bullets left. 5 zombies left. You have no idea how empowering it is to know that those things can die.
That means we can survive. We are currently trying to figure out how to best go about killing these other blokes. We’re still scared to death to walk outside, especially at night. I wonder if they sleep….
But we don’t want to mess with them unless we have to. ...
Zombie File #1 (Day 19)
Officially declared Zombies by myself and the other two survivors of this community.
Corpses are almost 3 weeks old, still ambulatory once risen.
Partial decay in places.
Seem to be at peace with each other. Further examination is required to confirm.
Attracted to humans. Unknown if state of death/decay affects attraction or desire to consume
Unknown if desire is to consume. Examination is...
Day 19
Short post before, via phone.
It took all six bullets in the gun, but we brought one of those things down.
First I shot for the kneecaps. Missed twice. So I went for the head. Boom headshot.
Didn’t stop it.
3 bullets down.
Shot for the chest, and missed badly.
Fortunatly, it hit a kneecap and dropped it.
4.
So I made sure to take out the other kneecap from closer. I made sure both...
They can die. I can
They can die. I can shoot. One down, five to go.
Day 18
We are all still here.
I’ll sum up what happened.
So we were locked in the room, with those horrible things at the door, trying to get in. The safest place we could be is our house. We make sure we have keys. We have to be fast. I don’t know how fast those monsters can move, but I’d prefer to find out from a far distance.
So we bust open the windows with our bats.
To give you...
Day 17
Ok this day is worse than day one.
I’m so scared. Holy shit this is bad. Something horrible just happened out here.
First off, we’re all alive. we’re shaken and terrifyed, but we’re alive. We are inside the house, all with our bats. I have my pistol ready to fire.
I shoot to kill now. I have to.
I figured I would write this out in case this is my last transmission, so...
Day 16 and 17
I slept almost all of yesterday. All my lack of sleep hit me and I just didn’t wake up. The girls were worried, but they thought I just needed sleep. Which I did.
So now I’m awake and ready to go. No idea what we’re doing today.
I’ll tell you later. I’m still a little sleepy…
peace
Day 15, early 16
Jeeze im tired.
I finished getting the rest of my crap out of my car and stored in her house.
All my clothes are here now. I found my favorite hoodie, a Christmas present from her one year. It’s got the Hylian Shield on the front, swords nad arrows crossing behind. I’m a huge zelda fan. And fortunatly, I haven’t played any zelda recently due to the fact that I left my Wii up...
Still alive
We came down a few hours ago. The hitting and scratching and stuff got really really intense. I think the four sounds I heard were the only things that hit the house. After they stopped, we walked down and made sure all the doors and windows were still secured. One door of the house, the back door into the yard, was unlocked and unbolted.
Which meant someone could be inside.
So we took out the...
Hiding Blind
No windows upstairs face the direction of the scratchers. Left laptop downstairs. Stupid me. Oh well. Update later with lappy. Peace
Day Fourteen
Louder noises outside. Creepy.
Like just now. In the daylight this time. So I opened the door and went out. I heard something around the corner, but my girlfriend called me and told me to stay away from it for now.
I’m not going to argue with that though. She was worried about me, and I was certainly worried about me.
I don’t want to mess with whatever is out there.
Oh crap it...
Day Thirteen
Jeeze this town is scarey.
I remember hating the suburbs when I visited last. That’s when it had inhabitants. I really hate it when its dead like this.
Heh.
Dark humour. Heh, dark humour. The power goes out every few hours now. I don’t really know how it comes back on.
My girlfriend’s friend says that they were building some sort of ‘backup system’ for this...
Day Twelve
Everybody is safe. Everybody that is alive, that is. My love and her friend are both safe, both well fed, and both alive. I’m so happy to see her again.We both cried for at least an hour after we knew we were safe with each other again. We’ve spent the whole day just laying together.
Oh, and boarding up her windows.
Whatever was scratching at the windows earlier didn’t come...
Day Nine, Ten, Eleven. I'm still alive. Just out...
No phone, no internet. My laptop hasn’t been able to find ANYTHING until now, and niether has my cell. It looks like every town between here and my house is dead. I’ve only gotten about 250 miles. I’m honestly a bit lost. I had to have hit a wrong turn somewhere. I’ve been wandering about for a few hours trying to hit a wifi connection or something. I’m currently...
Day Eight
Brown outs and power dims are getting more common now.
Just when she called me.
She got to my cell, so the cell towers are still up.
She said she loved me and that she’s really scared. Almost everybody is dead where she is, too. She is with one other girl who she was hanging out with overnight.
Its like little teeny squares of area have been spared. I wonder why?
More important though....
Day Seven Late, or When I stopped worrying and...
The gas station is functional! I managed to block out the bodies I saw there. Only a few though. I didn’t go inside, and there was only one outside. It was a few pumps away, so I managed to ignore it.
The point is, however, that I have a lot of fuel now.
I would never have believed it. I’m so excited. I filled numerous containers, and am going to figure out how to store them in my...
Day Seven
One week since this crap started happening.
I should loot a bottle of champaign or wine or something.
On to business.
She still hasn’t responded. I’m guessing she has either spotty net or is so busy she can’t update. I can understand.
I’m going to take my car as far as it can go towards my neighborhood gas station. Only a few miles out. If it’s still working, i...
Day 6
Slept late today. i was up for a while mapping and planning. I had to take into account the fact that my routes may be blocked or too dangerous to go through. I need to make sure I don’t have to do something on the fly.
the big news today came in the morning though.
I slept late and got up three hours ago.
I did my regular scan of media, and for once, found something.
She updated her...
Day Five
I spent all of today focusing on future plans. Sorry I didn’t update until late.
First off I mapped out a simple route to her house, all 300 miles of route.
And that’s the fastest way. Since the line is blocking my section of interstate, I don’t really have a way to connect to the rest of the country quickly. So I may be back-roading it north. Making it abgout 350 to 400 miles,...
Day Four's supply run
Whatever hit this place hit fast. It was like the frozen line on the interstate. People were still sitting down. Not many, grant you, but one or two. The rest probably saw them drop and freaked.
There were at least 8 bodies in the store. It took me over an hour to walk only a few feet because I was so frightened. But I did get some supplies.
The power still worked, so it was creepy as hell....
Day Four
I overslept today. I guess I was exhausted.
I need food. Soon. Whether i stay here or leave to find her, I need food.
I’m heading out to that little mom and pop store near my house. The grocery store is a little farther out, at least 4 miles. I’m worried about having to go that far…
There isn’t anything that should hurt me. Unless the world has gone all Mad Max in just 4...
Day Three
I’ve been crying all day. I just dropped down in a heap and stopped. Just stopped everything. No radio scans, no tv. Im practically out of real food, but i didn’t go out. I just cried. All day.
All my friends are probably gone. I could probably find some of them in the frozen line.
I could probably find their cars.
I will never see any of my friends again. Nobody
Just alone for the...
Day Three, Wee Hours
No rest. Just stressful sitting and staring. I tried to scan the radio again, but only got static. It’s so unnatural to hear. Nothing is coming in on any frequency. Nothing. Just white noise.
And I keep flashing back to the frozen line. I mean damn…all those people are dead by something I don’t know about. And why am I not dead? Isn’t there some sort of ambaint radiation?...
Day Two End
I have the radio and tv on all the time now, just in case something happens. I check cnn and stuff online, and nothing is being updated. I’m going to spend tonight finding something new. Anything new. some update saying that someone is out there…
I may even go back to myspace. Heh…
Anyway. I’ve made sure that I have food and water in each room. I have some batteries and...
Day Two continued
I finally got my computer fixed. My internet router was overheating or something. I’m really scared now. I think the nuclear plant melted down. My house is really old and really thick, so maybe it somehow shielded me from radiation.
There were so many bodies. More than one per car. Some looked like they were screaming. Some like they were fighting or angry or something. Most had rolled back...
i have only limited space
i have only limited space to text in. there were dozens of bodies between cars and trucks. they looked suffocated, hold neck, white eyes.
somethign did happen. a little
somethign did happen. a little farther down in the frozen line i found bodies. im scared.my internet is down i only have a cell to post with
Day Two. Work starts late
Day Two. Work starts late on Friday. I have a little more time before I leave. I’m packing water and snacks in case there is an emergancy.
Update. Where is everybody....
Still nobody on Live. Screw it. I’m going back to building my Warhammer guys. I still have some unbuilt Chaos spruces I think.
AND nobody has updated their facebook today! I’m not the biggest facebook person, but I still get on almost daily. I KNOW that my friends get on it more than this. Even my friends far away haven’t updated. This is a weird ass day.
I’m so going to...
Damn. Live is empty too.
Damn. Live is empty too. Even random match is dead. My net must be busted. Halo is saying 0 players online. Must be some weird glitch.
Day One
Something weird is going on over here. I couldn’t get to work because of traffic. But the thing is, the traffic NEVER moved. I sat in it for half an hour, but it never changed. I was the last car, so I could just pull out, no problem. But why didn’t any car pull behind me? My radio is busted. I couldn’t pick up anything about traffic. I couldn’t pick up anything but static....
