I've been in literal hell. I made it back to the safety (?) of my home and will post soon. My home is as I left it. Getting into the compound I encountered zombies that seemed to have had a plan? Are they mutating? Are they actually thinking now? God help us if that's the case! The only safety factor is the daylight how long will they stay out of the light? Will it be a 24 hour battle soon?

Day 10 I sit listlessly (it is now getting dawn) and am waiting for the screaming and pounding on the iron fence that surrounds my home. I have my pit bull Lily sitting at my side staring at me in with a tilted head and the look of wonder in her eyes. She is my companion. It has been 10 days since I've had any communication from any of my kids and family!

Day 1 Breaking news! "The flu has reached epedemic proportions! There is no known cure and scientists are working around the clock."

No need to go into detail with me! Two months before the outbreak announcement I hired a contracting firm to dig a moat and utilized rebar in 3 feet of cement. I set up an electrified iron fence that was handled by a high powered generator (in case the electricity went out) and stocked up on fuel. I have stocked up on water, pet food, people food and plenty of ammo for my assault rifle and my 38 special. My windows and doors have been reinforced with steel drop downs. Oh, let's not forget the roof (also reinforced) thanks to my fascination with "I Am Legend". I have swords a plenty in case I feel like going out and physically encountering one of these bastards! I have contacted all of my children and had given them areas to be picked up at the very first day of news on the outbreak. I'm all set? I have not had any contact from my children nor my family! I am really worried. All communication has broken down in my area. What to do?

Towards early morning I jumped in my truck (also loaded with extra fuel and pump) along with my Lily and headed out of Bloomfield. The streets are littered with bodies rotting everywhere. There are a few of the undead wandering listlessly in circles. I am not sure why early morning and the day causes this reaction? Does anyone out there know? I have five to six hours to make it to two of the contact points. The undead seem to get pretty aggressive just after dawn. During the day they tend to wander alone but, it is totally different at night when they attack in large groups. What's one woman and a dog against them? Don't know haven't had to find out yet.

I come across the first contact point an hour and a half later. The building seems to be abandoned and everything is quiet. I see no dead bodies nor anything around the building. Yet, my Lily has a low, deep throated growl as she walks by my side. I have my sword and my assault rifle and am proficient with the use of both weapons. As I approach the building the door suddenly swings open! I take two steps back and brace with sword in hand. "It" rushes out me with crazed eyes and gnashing teeth! I swing my sword and slice one hand completely off (thank god for rotting flesh) then I back swing with a hard stance to the right and it's neck is caught in the one swoop. The head falls to my feet and my Lily is hitting the still standing body in midair. Good job and well done! I have gained some courage by this action for sure.
