Dan’s Corner of the Internet

Okay I’m gonna do something a bit different with this post and I hope you guys will humor me while I do it. I’ve toyed with the idea of writing actual stories for a long, long while and with this whole Swine Flu thing I got what I hope is a really cool idea for a story. I’m gonna post a little bit of it here and I want you to be honest with me and let me know what you think of it. I trust my readers and value their opinions so without further adie here is the first part of what I hope will be a much longer story. As always thanks for reading and for any feedback you feel like providing.

If your reading this then that means that I’m either dead or….or one of them. If I am one of them then please do me the favor of putting a bullet in my head, I’ve done enough killing as it is and I don’t want any more blood on my hands.

This is my personal journal, all entries before the start of the outbreak have been redacted, what follows is my account of the zombie outbreak. I hope that if your reading this things have improved to the point where the zombie menace has been contained and not due to the fact that I’m one of those mindless things.

Sincerely,

Alex Prescott

Seems like you can’t turn on the news nowadays without hearing about this Swine Flu outbreak. I guess it started in Mexico or something like that and is now in New York, Kansas and California. I’m not sure how many people have died from this but I know there have been quite a few. As long as it stays there I’m not gonna worry too much about it, better them than me right? I got enough on my plate to worry about as it is.

More Flu outbreaks on the news today, I guess now it’s spread to Canada and even to New Zealand. They say this thing has an incubation period of three days or something like that. Kinda scary if you ask me.

Well they haven’t officially closed the border to Mexico but they have moved in the National Guard. Not sure what that’s all about. I guess they’re moving the Guard into the cities that are hit hardest with the infection too, something about riots or violence. I didn’t catch what it was for exactly I was brushing my teeth. I’ll watch the news tonight and see if I can figure out what’s going on.

This flu is spreading fast!! We have our first confirmed case here in Colorado today, I hope I don’t get sick!

This flu is hitting Colorado hard! They have more and more new cases each day the hospitals are getting over loaded.

I’ve started stock piling supplies to minimize my contact with the outside world. I don’t want to be a shut in but with this flu thing hitting so hard and people being attacked I’ve decided it’s better to just stay inside. I don’t understand what’s going on with rise in violence lately, it’s on the news almost as much as the stories about the outbreak of the flu! The Guard is supposed to be here in the next day or so. If it helps quell the insanity then I’m all for it. Think I’m gonna head up to my folks and get a gun tomorrow though, just to be on the safe side.

Decided to go ahead and go to Greeley to get my gun. It’s kinda creepy, there are roadblocks all over the place. I was pulled over on my up to Mom and Dad’s and questioned by the Guard. They asked me if I’d noticed or been involved in any unusual activity lately. I told them no but while he was asking me questions there was another guy scanning me with some…I don’t know what it was, looked like something out of Star Trek. They let me through with no issues but I could swear the guy in the car behind me was dragged out of his car and taken into a trailer. Things are getting pretty scary.

Okay I’m not sure what the hell I just saw but if I’m right I just saw someone get….I don’t even know what to call it…kidnapped maybe? I heard these people fighting outside but by the time I got up to see what was going on it was too late to do anything. One of the guys was holding his arm like he’d been bitten by the other guy and had this look of pure and utter shock on his face. I started to go out the door to make sure he was okay but by the time I got outside there was already a…not really a police truck but something similar to it taking the guy who was bitten inside and beating the other guy down! I asked what was going on but was told to mind my own business and get back in my house and lock the door. My momma raised me well enough to not argue with guys with guns so that’s what I did. Something seriously wrong is hitting the fan, I think I need to start getting better prepared for whatever it is.
