A Southern Survivor Part 9

A few hours after we left the town I read the note.It was short but written calmy.I have taken the liberty of copying the note.

Dear little brother,

I know this will upset you,but I just can't take it anymore.The constant living conditions and the horrors of the past have made me do this.I am sorry for any grief you may have.Hopefully you get this note and not some passing person who stumbled upon my store and this note.May the lord be with you my brother.

-Michael

Even though a lot of people knew the bites spread the disease many people came to hospitals and the injuries were mistaken for other things.Blake had been working the evening shift as a janitor for St.Joseph hospital when people first started arriving.Two hours later the hospital was in chaos.Blake had been helping some nurses get fresh supplies when a zombie security guard has charged them.

The dead guard has bit into the neck of one of the shrieking nurses before Blake picked up a scalpel and stabbed it into the guard's throat and pushed him away.The guard slowly approached Blaek but turned back to the nurse and began his meal.The other nurse ran out of the room and Blake soon followed.

Blake had left the hospital after that.He had went home to find his girl friend in his house,or what was left of her.Her bottom half from the waist down was gone and bloody torn entrails followed her.The sliding glass door in the back of the house was shattered and Blake figured out what had happened.A zombie or group of zombies must have broken through the glass door and attacked his girlfriend and eaten her bottom half.

He had left his house with his shotgun and a sleeping bag full of supplies after he had taken care of his once beloved girl friend.Soon after that he had met up with the band of people heading north and had stayed with them until most of them had been killed.

Several times he had thought of suicide.But after he met Jenny and William all of those thoughts disappeared.He believed that he was still alive to protect those two,the two most special people in his life now.
