  3:20pm

  Spent a good chunk of the day just chilling inside the shed, recovering from that long walk down the highway.

  Read some more magazines, looked at my phone to check for messages I’d never receive and ate some more gas station snacks.

  After eating so much junk for days now, it’s not just enough anymore…

  I waited until my legs didn’t feel like I was hit by a bus before starting my walk again.

  And what an enchanting stroll that was.

  I nearly reached town when I spotted a small group of zombies in the middle of the road.

  One guy was hunched over, and as I got a bit closer, I could see he was too busy digging into someone’s intestines to even notice me.

  The smell was terrible.

  I took a long walk around them, crouching among the trees outside the highway.

  While passing by, I even spotted what looked like a blue fox? It was some person wearing a huge blue costume. It looked like a fox, I think, or a ringtail lemur? I don’t know.

  They might of been a mascot for a store, or maybe they’re just a furry that got turned while in the middle of cospying.

  The first house I came across was all boarded up.

  There were a few zombies lingering outside.

  One of them came my way… so, I did to her what I did to the gas station zombie.

  I, uh, stabbed her a few times in the head… with a screwdriver.

  It took a few tries… but, I managed to do it.

  The town is a mess, almost like a hurricane swept through the area.

  Bits of debris and shit everywhere.

  The front door was unlocked and not boarded up, so, whoever was here before decided to book it for whatever reason.

  Finders keepers. My new hideout!

  Inside the house is pretty strange, though. There’s like, boxes everywhere?

  I think these people were packing up all their belongings, maybe trying to quickly load everything in their car and fuck off.

  Honestly, I feel that.

  But hey, I found some more pieces of clothing! A radio, a box of cigars spilled on the floor in the kitchen.

  I’m really tempted to start smoking now and try out this radio.

  10:39pm

  I took a nap in the only functional bedroom in the house.

  I just finished unpacking all my stuff on the wooden shelves here as well.

  Only realized just now that I had a cut on my palm. I barely even feel it, must have happened when I killed that st zombie.

  Starting to feel a bit less cold now too. I guess all these extra clothes I hijacked are starting to pay off! Or, could be because I’m back inside a house and not skipping to my loo down a highway.

  Checks out.

  Found a few extra fshlights and used one to fasten to one of the bed posts with my collection of rubberbands.

  Makeshift mp baby! No more sleeping in pure darkness. Or, so long as I can find more batteries, that is.

  11:44pm

  It’s snowing outside.

  That might be a problem ter…

  I’m not really looking forward to ‘Zombies on Ice’ - The Musical. Especially not with me slipping and sliding, or my sneakers crunching every time I try to sneak around to commence my acts of home invasion.

  But, the good news is, I found a generator in the neighbor’s shed here.

  The bad news, I have absolutely no idea on how to operate one. All I know is that I’ll obviously need fuel. Which means I’ll need a gas can as well.

  Not really feeling optimistic on the odds of that happening, or the idea of even running a generator. That shit gets pretty loud. It’ll be like a car arm all over again if I start it.

  I guess that’s my choices, huh?

  Either I live without power forever, potentially freeze to death and be unable to store food that isn’t candy and chips. Or task myself with clearing all zombies within a five mile radius, somehow acquire fuel and ALSO somehow hook it up to this house.

  Yeah, we’re going full caveman for now.

  Time to take it a step further and look for materials to start a fire!
