Well, so much for all this having a rational explanation -- the guy reanimated about a day after the attack. The zed (what Alex calls zombies, and quicker to type) had damaged his face/eyes pretty badly, but he still turned and came after us like he had radar for flesh. It was pretty damn terrifying, he got through a lot of our boards, but eventually we took him down. Focusing on the head makes that simpler.

So between de-zombifying our place and heading over to our neighbors' house to... well, hack off bits of it and bring them back to board our place up again... I haven't had much time to write. I'm just glad we didn't run into any more zeds over there -- once is more than enough.

The power keeps flickering, and I can only charge my laptop so often. Alex says we should expect to be without power within 24-48 hours, so I've been charging up a couple of backup batteries and we might see if our neighbors have anything else to offer us. Don't know what we'll do about the wifi. Build a complicated power source from a bicycle, twine and coconuts??

I can't believe I saw a dead man get up and try to eat us today, and I'm still making Gilligan's Island jokes. You can get used to anything, can't you?

I still hope the cavalry comes soon. I've joined a few groups on here to see what the rest of the state looks like and how everyone who didn't buy the 'riots' story from the beginning is coping. Maybe get some ideas that way.

Stay safe everyone. Later.
