THE number of confirmed deaths
has passed two hundred. The
Governor has declared a state
of emergency...

JOURNAL ENTRY, Oct. 2013
          No one remembers what day it is anymore. We hardly get to sleep. We were forced to steal from a shop, but Pete's refusing to eat.

Valley Mills was entirely infected.

Pete decided we are moving North. As far North as we can get. He said something about a Quarantine Zone in Wichita Falls.

The Cordyceps Brain Infection they called it. Cordyceps. While it explains the mycelium I saw growing out of Jack's split head... how... or rather why would the fungi mutate to attack humans? Through food, out of all things. We are a long way from their usual insects. Why? WHY?

📻

"There were hundreds and hundreds
of bodies lining the streets."

JOURNAL ENTRY, Nov. 2013
          We got ambushed on the road.
Fuckers stole our car, the shotgun and all the ammunition, dropped us in a parking lot.

I don't remember anything but the rain and the blood.

It's getting cold. We can't make a fire without alerting looters or infected. And we can't move. My leg's got a fracture.

Winnie's hurt too. Her shoulder is messed up. She's bruised all over. God... How I wish I killed more of those assholes.

But she's taken charge. She's found a pharmacy not yet emptied out near the shop we barricaded ourselves into. She's going out on 10 minute patrols. 

Ten minutes feel like a century waiting here.

She's gathering supplies. We've got: a bunch of weird chemicals, sanitary gloves, two gas masks, empty bottles, bandages, painkillers, vitamins, supplements, scissors, adhesive bands and a radio.

PANIC spread worldwide after a
leaked report from the World
Health Organization showed that
the latest vaccination tests
have failed.

JOURNAL ENTRY, Dec. 2013
          This thing is happening everywhere! Made contact with Gen over the radio with Morse code like in camp 2011 last week. She's made it to a quarantine zone. But now I am asking myself the worst question of all: is my sister dead?

Fuck.

Pete and I started moving up to Wichita Falls again. Got jumped by raiders.

I killed another live, sane man last night.
We've got guns again at least.

On foot, I don't know how far we're actually going to make it. If the infected don't kill us first, the humans will.

📻

"... with the bureaucrats out of power
we can finally take the necessary steps
to..."

JOURNAL ENTRY, Feb. 2014
          They rejected us! We walked all this way, came all this fucking road, killed so many of those bastards so they could just turn us away...

"She's not a US citizen and our places and rations are limited as they are."

FUCK THAT!

Winnie tried to convince me to stay there, but I sure pray she was joking. How can she think that I'd abandon her?!

We need to get out of here. Overhead the FEDRA discuss a "bombing scheme".

Car.
Keep heading North.
Oklahoma City?

LOS Angeles is now the latest city to
be placed under martial law.

JOURNAL ENTRY, Apr. 2014
          She's alive! Mira is alive.

Gen got her out of the quarantine zone.

Said no one else knows, no one heard her. They are heading to a safe house.

Now that I can focus again, we raided a couple of labs. I need to test this... Pete doesn't approve, nor believe, but there's no hurt in giving it a try, right?

What if... What if it works?

📻

"All residents are required to report
to their designated quarantine-"

JOURNAL ENTRY, May 2014
          She's immune.

If I didn't buy it before, I sure as hell do now. Her blood killed that Clicker in under two minutes.

This is good and very bad too. Shit, the world's too far gone to hear about this now. We barely made it to Oklahoma City Quarantine Zone in time to take shelter from the bombing. If they hear about her immunity... even about her experiments!

How long until they find her ID is fake?

I'm glad she's found some hope. I'm glad to see her smile. But we need to think this through or this blessing is gonna put the biggest ass target on our backs.

There ain't no humanity left to appeal. What was left burned down with the bombs.

RIOTS have continued for a third
consecutive day and winter rations
are at an all time low.

JOURNAL ENTRY, Jan. 2015
          I got us chased out of Oklahoma.
I got us near death through the National Parks west several times. We're starving, cold and almost out of ammo.

Fuck, I don't even know why Pete's still with me at this point.

All I do is mess things up.

I'm gonna get him killed and... I can't live without him. I don't want to go on without him.

The damn radio broke too.

What good is the immunity if I can't do anything out of my blood? I've tried. Gen tried on Mira too. But apart from killing infected, we ain't doing much.

We met a group in Salt Lake City.
They offer shelter in a hospital.
I don't know if I should stay anymore.

A GROUP calling themselves the Fireflies
have claimed responsibility for both attacks.
Their public charter calls for the return of
all branches of government. Demonstrations
broke out following the execution of six more
alleged Fireflies.

JOURNAL ENTRY, Mar. 2015
          I haven't seen Winnie so happy in so long. In fact... I haven't been this happy since this whole mess started.

The zoo animals are a sight to behold from atop half collapsed skyscrapers.

We got a camera with film and we even found a dog. Named him Randy. He reminds me of Rosey.

These Fireflies are onto a cure too. There's been more immune identified with Winnie's help. She says they are making enormous progress.

While I loathe her fellow doctors, she sure feels in her element here, helping everyone out. Without her, this place would go to ruin though, no doubt.

We got good supplies. I feel we could stay here for a while. Who would have thought we'd get to live a little after all that death?

📻

"You can still rise with us.
Remember, when you're lost
in the darkness... look for the
light. Believe in the Fireflies."

JOURNAL ENTRY, Mar. 2015
          Fuck. The. Fireflies.

What's done in the dark will be brought to the light.
