Well, I made it back. I haven't updated this journal for a few days because I seem to be experiencing drops of power to my house. I always thought that I would have at least a few months worth of electricity before the big 'black out' would happen. I guess I was wrong. It's back on now but I am limiting the amount of electricity I use. I even broke into almost every house on the street to switch off all the lights and appliances. Desperate times!
When I finally plucked up the courage to go outside I ensured I had my Zombie Outbreak survival bag with me (boy does that sound weird). I thought I would never get the chance to use this damn thing. It had been gathering dust for the last year in my garage. It basically has every thing I need to survive for three days. First Aid kit, food, water that kind of stuff. When I first opened my door for the first time since all this had happened the stench of the rotten dead hit me. Have you ever had a whiff of a dead dog or sheep? or maybe your pet hamster after it had passed away? Well, multiply that odour by ten and that's the smell. There were more corpses then I had ever imagined there would be. These lucky people were so mauled and 'damaged' by the initial Zombie outbreak that they couldn't possible function as a fully fledged walking dead.
It felt strange walking outside for the first time. Everything was dead quiet (excuse the pun). No cars, no people, no modern day noise pollution that our ears have come accustomed to. I made a quick check of the area whilst I were outside. Finding a working car is going to be my next challenge. It was getting dark at the time so I limited my time outside. So far no more zombies. Where are they? Where have they gone? Also where are the survivors? Am I the only one?
