…As I rolled to my feet and started running I looked up at
the road ahead of me. The one time that I get caught out by the zombies has to
be the day that they bring out the artillery. Not only was I heading for a
handful of regular zombie but also the largest bipedal creature that I had ever
seen. This thing was ten foot tall and six foot wide. It was a juggernaut;
there was nothing else that it could have been. I didn’t know what was going on
but it was clear that whoever was in charge of this not so little experiment
was stepping it up a level. There was very little that I could do at this
point, the Juggernaut in front and Hound behind, I had to make a decision
should I turn around and risk Hound or do I go on and hope that there’s a way
around Juggernaut. Having just seen Hound burn down a building and jump
effortlessly onto a six foot wall I felt that it was worth the risk against this
unknown threat…
Trapped With Zombies

Recall
Finally I have some more time to recap some more of what has
been happening.
So as I was looking out of the window this abnormally
advanced zombie locked eyes with me and set its lips in a sneer revealing its
jagged teeth. There were only two exits from the house, out the front door
directly into the mass of zombies or out the back. I knew that the back door
led out into a walled off garden. It was unlikely that there would be zombies
back there as it was walled off and backed onto the gardens of the next row of
houses. I scrambled through to the back of the house, grabbing my bag on the way
through. I eased the door open and carefully checked that the garden was zombie
free. Luckily for me it was. The garden backed onto the gardens of the row of terraced
houses behind the bungalow. These gardens only had low fences between them
which was both a blessing and a curse. Although it meant that I would be able
to move from garden to garden more easily it also meant that any zombies would
also be able to travel from garden to garden more easily. The terraced housing
meant that the gardens weren’t visible from the road so I wouldn’t be seen by
any zombies milling around on the roads. I could hear the zombie at the front
of the building trying to breach the door to get to where I’d been seen. I jumped
the wall into the gardens of the terraces and made my way as quickly to the end
as I could whilst still being on guard. As I reached the last garden in the row
a bellowing scream of rage filled the air stopping me dead in my tracks. I looked
back the way I had come toward the bungalow, to my surprise I saw smoke and
flame reaching up into the sky. Suddenly the large zombie, who I have named
Hound, jumped up onto the wall at the back of the garden. Silhouetted by the
flame he turned his head towards me and let out another bellowing scream. This second
scream brought me back to my senses, without a second thought I scrambled over
the final wall and fell into the street. I rolled onto my feet and started running.
I knew exactly where I was going. On the other side of the residential area,
back towards the business district, there were several blocks of flats. I knew
that the ordinary zombies would struggle with the stairs so it would be a relatively
safe place. I would just have to hope that I could lose Hound on the way. In my
hurry to get away from Hound I had not stopped to see if there were any zombies
in the street that I had just entered. Unfortunately there were…

I'm Back
I don’t know
if this message will reach anyone but I will try. It has been almost two months
from my last message and a lot has happened. I have a more permanent base now
meaning that I should be able to update more frequently. I shall start from
where I left off last time. The light was beginning to fade and the building
that I was in was too exposed, as soon as it got dark enough it would be
swarming with zombies. I was in an office building on the edge of the city’s
business sector, the main bulk of the zombies tended to come from the centre of
the business sector so it was best to head away from there. I cut through to a
row of shops so that I could top up on supplies. I figured that I had about
twenty minutes until the zombies stated coming out and about an hour until the
city would become overrun. I quickly ducked into one of the shops and filled my
backpack with supplies; I was no more than three minutes. As I went to exit the
shop I thought I saw someone out in the street, from the doorway of the shop I scan
the street. To my surprise I see that the zombies are already stumbling about
out of their daytime hideaways. It must have been one of these that I saw out
of the window. Their appearance would of course make my journey more dangerous.
I know where I was going, I had three or four night bases set up around the
city two of the were residential area close to the shopping district. I headed to a
house avoiding any confrontation with the zombies. This particular building was
a single story bungalow, although not the most ideal place it was the closest
and with the increased zombie activity I felt it best to stay off of the
streets. The light was almost completely faded now, about the time that most of
the zombies normally came out of hiding. I refuelled and settled down for the
night. I'm not sure what woke me up, if it was a noise or just an uneasy
feeling, but I woke up in pick black at around 2AM. I carefully crept to the
window to see in anything was happening out side. What I saw outside then still
sends a shiver down my spine. Initially I didn't think there was anything
abnormal but as I looked longer I realised that there were a lot more zombies
gathering out on the street than normal. Either there was something out there
drawing them in or they knew that I was there. Then I saw it standing in the
centre of the zombies. At first I thought that it was just a really tall zombie
but as I studied it I realised that it was more than just a normal zombie. This
thing didn't have the usually pale skin with chunk of flesh falling off; this
thing was dark and muscled. It wasn't a normal man but you could have easily
been fooled. As I was watching it slowly turned around to face me. Although it wasn’t
falling apart like the other zombies it had fresh crimson wounds exposed on its
chest and white scars crisscrossing its face. Its face with eyes locked
directly with mine. As it saw me it slowly smiled revealing it jagged teeth.
I’ll have to
stop now as we have to go out on patrol, but I will update soon if I can…

Reconnection
Finally I have found another connection. It’s been almost a
month since I first made contact. In that time I have been scouting the city. Over
the last month and a half I had been unable to explore much of the city, but in
the last week something else seems to have taken the zombies attention off
of me. This could mean that they have tired of the chase or that others have
been introduced and they have new game. I have been able to explore about one
quarter of the city. It seems to be set out as any city into districts with
business area, recreational areas, residential areas and shopping areas. I have not
been able to explore as much as I would have liked in the past week because although
the zombies do hide in the daylight hours they are still able to venture out if
necessary. The light appears to affect their senses but not their physical
form. The light is again beginning to fade so I must find shelter but I will
keep updating this site whenever I can…

Contact
Greetings surface dwellers. I don’t know if this message
will get through to you as I have a limited signal. I am unable to make contact
with anyone on the surface. I have been trapped in some sort of underground
city. I believe that it is a government research project. Its purpose is one of
two things. It is either to test the strength of their mutations or to see if
the human race can fight off a zombie invasion. Either way I have been trapped
here for a month now, this facility is huge; it stretches out for miles in each
direction. I am not sure if there are any other people down here, I know that
there are animals down here because I have come across some, but other than
this I am unaware of what is going on. I don’t have much time now as it will be
dark soon, (there is an artificial lighting system), I must find somewhere to
shelter before the zombies find me. I will try to communicate again if I can…
