It still feels like I'm trapped in a horror movie. Not a good one, either. A B-rated slasher flick, maybe.

I'm safe for the moment, guys. They got in, but we got out, and it seems like the entire neighborhood is bunked down here at Wal-Mart, of all places. This isn't the most defensible city in the world--whose idea was it to build a city on flood land, anyway?--so in a place with two military outposts in the city itself the most defensible building is nevertheless Wal-freaking-mart.

I'm tired and stressed and way past scared.

My laptop is back at the house and quite likely in their hands by now. If they even have an interest in laptops. I'd kind of like to hope that they don't and that when this is all over I'll have it back. I'm writing to you guys from one of the store computers; Wal-Mart employees are apparently trained in apocalypses of all kinds, and it's in the procedure to stay as contactable as possible, so they're running interference to keep the nets up.

They've also stocked us up with guns for those who know how to use them, and for those of us who don't, water guns from the toys section, reloaded with soda, saltwater, and holy water.

I'm serious. Wal-Mart thinks of everything.

GUYS. If you haven't found a safe place yet, FIND ONE. I don't care if it's a military outpost, a superstore, or a bunker. I need to know you guys are safe.

i have to go. It's my turn to guard the east entrance. I'll check back in as soon as I can, promise.

If they don't kill you this'll make you stronger, but if they kill you you'll be dead,
Chica

i'm confused...what the heck is going on?? are you all right??

You haven't heard about the global zombie uprising??

I'm relieved. That means there's at least one place they haven't hit yet.

Stay safe. There's still a lot of us hanging on here and things seemed to have calmed down a little once dawn broke--

I'm glad to hear of your safety. Remember you can make rudimentary grenades with menthos and coca-cola bottles and if you revert to knife combat, the neck is weakest close to the base of the skull.

Thanks for the advice. How are you holding up? What's happening over there?

Well it was chaos for a while, darn things made a right mess out of central London. The noises they made *sob* I thought I was a gonner, but these troops started appearing, and maybe its the stress, but these troops weren't really there. Their guns were odd too, fired... well I don't know what. Perhaps it was Torchwood?

The troops took care of the first wave, but then they vanished. I haven't heard anything since then, I'm barricarded in my house. Thank god for LiveJournal.

I'm writing this to you from my Sidekick but I don't have much time I've got. I'm trying to move fast and save my battery life. The last time I heard anything they'd spread all the way up to Blacksburg. I don't know how much farther they've gotten... this was hours ago.

I'm safe, I think. For now. I'm moving South. I got as far as the Border Station before my car ran out of gas. That place was covered with them, so I left the car and I've been on foot ever since. It's hard to tell you exactly where I'm at because I don't know. I've been trying to keep off of the main roads.

I've got to go, I hear something. I'll talk to you soon, I hope. Maybe I'll see you even sooner.

And remember, if they get me there is

Just remember I love you, and this can't last forever, right? RIGHT?

Please be okay. I'm trying to hang on.

[foughtthewar.livejournal.com]

If they get me, you kill me. Alright? ALRIGHT?

Don't you let them eat me. Don't you let them make me one of them!!!

[chicafrom3.livejournal.com]

I promise! I won't let you become one of them!!

And you gotta do the same for me. Okay? Because I'd rather be dead than one of them!
