Mike's diary day 74 - This is war
I woke up feeling exhausted Jack woke me up. He said that we gotta hurry to get back to the base before the maniac come back and kill both of us. I packed all of my equipment and rebandaged my wounds again. The pain was unbearable but I have to make do. Jack cooked for breakfast, and while I wait, he went outside trying to scout for car could possibly be our right back to base. While he was out scouting for a car, I heard footsteps from the back of the house, I wasn't feeling well just yet, but I tried my best to grab my gun and checked what is up behind the house. When I opened the door there were two craze just wandering about trying to find some flesh to feast on. I quickly closed the door but one of them managed to held the door, and when they were about to come in, are here to gunshot and the craze we're down immediately. I looked outside the door and saw Jack in a pickup truck, so I limped across the road with my bag on my back right into the trunk of the pickup truck.
There was nothing much happening in the afternoon considering that we were only on the road for several hours without talking to each other. I said thank you to Jack, and his response was nothing.
Jack and I arrived at base. I was escorted find it went right into the doctor's room to get checked up. Julie also went inside with me with her concerns look. I do not know where Jack when but I will try to find him right before dinner and talk about what he thought what's happening back in the suburbs.
I found Jack in the armory room doing some tweaking to the silencers that he made. I asked him what he thought about that event, and when he was about to say something, we heard gunshot outside the base. At that moment, I thought to myself that the valors are outside. Jack and I rushed outside and we saw Moses and Victor were already negotiating with 2 people. I walked towards them, and they said that they want Julie to come with them. I said no obviously, and I threatened them that there are enough of us to kill both of them, so right before the left of the said that there will be back tomorrow with a "present".
This is just great. Now everyone is busy doing their own stuff, and Jack does not remember what he was about to tell me. I immediately called for a meeting for us to do a vote whether we should fight and stay, or we run and leave them alone. The result was obvious that there are more people willing to defend the base. One more thing before we go to sleep, I said that it is better for us to attack to them earlier before they attack us because that way there will not be expecting us coming. Everyone agreed, and I will wake up tomorrow in the morning to plan out our offensive strategy. I really really hope that we will not lose another man. I hope everyone, especially Julie won't get hurt. God help me, HELP US!

Mike's Diary Day 71 - Best Inventions Come At the Worst Era
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Mike's Diary Day 70 - Project Nuke? I don't know, maybe later.
*Morning*
Usual routine, you see, nothing much to do in an apocalypse believe it or not. In fact, me, the one who has always wanted it, not is living in regrets. The morning was quite I was doing nothing, then Jack went into my room. He told me that he's going to do it alone, but I talked him out. Yes it's a good plan I agree, but I don't wat him to be going alone, so I said to him I will alone go with him, without anyone else (except Julie I BET). I told Jack that we will do it after we take care of the valors, he nodded in dissapointment, then he walked away.
*Afternoon*
I was out by myself, in the suburbs (again), looking for some cool stuff that I don't even know what I'm going to do with. I thought about Jack's idea and thought that I should try it. I knew there was no backing out in this plan. I searched for a air horn, after I found one (not easy) I quickly made 3 molotovs from my tshirt ( I had to rip it, dumb stuff considering there were full clothed corpses around) and some alcohol I found in a liquor store. I went ontop of a roof, and honked tht air horn for a good 3 minutes (it was so loud, I'm sure everyone with a distance to my base could hear it.) Craze started cpming out, without realizing there were more than hundreds on the road trying to get a piece of me. They were all burned as I threw each molotov down the road. I was excited untilI got shot on my right shoulder.
*Evening*
I got back from wherever I was out, and the doctor did some surgery on me tp get the bullet out. I swear I'm getting used to getting shot. I went to the kitchen to eat, and guess what, Julie came. She started to ask me if I was okay, and told me that I'm a dumbass and should stop going alone (agree). She even said "Good for you, getting shot everytime you go out alone." in her good'ol sarcastic tone, then she left. Jack saw me after that, he only asked if I was okay or not (I don't know if he heard my air horn, but I decided not to tell the whole story.)
Again, he left, but before he left, I decided to put him in charge in the weapon crafting, I told him something silent, but can hit the range of at least 30 metres away (Let that imagination comes in to you Jack lol). He left and said "I'll see what I can come up with."
That's it, I just sit on the bench in the "backyard" looking at the dryness of a field with no green vegetations whatsoever, lonely. (I forgot that Jack was supposed to be the farmer, but oh well.)

Mike's Diary Day 69 - My oh My, such shitty day.
*Last Night*
It was hell of a night I tell you that. After the second flare went off, I saw a horde coming towards our building. I was shocked (not really). Several minutes later, a man trying to run away from those craze, then I was like hey, why not help borther in need right? I started firing, and the others woke up and followed my lead. After a while, all I could see was nothing but an empty road, when all of the sudden, a huge explosion underneath us, then silence. After a waiting game that we have played, someone knocked on the door. I knew it was that man, but I asked anyways. It was Jack! Yes damn right he got my message. He was so busted up, so we decided to treat him ASAP. We immediately poured some alcohol onto his wound, yes, we were about to use that for a molotov, but oh well right.
*Morning*
I just woke up and with this diary I sit writing down some stuff. Everyone is grumpy, Jack is weak, now Julie is approaching towards me.
*10 minutes later*
Julie just told me some jokes because the others are too grumpy she said. See! What did I tell you. I'm thinking that maybe we should go back to base as soon as possible. I don't want the base to get attacksd by Valors before we got back, so I think I'm gonna clear down staira from craze. I'll ask the twins to come with me.
*Before going home*
Yeah, I've packed my shit yesterday, so I don't have to pack it again today. Just sitting on the edge of the roof watching craze pndering around down the road. Man, we're gonna be one of those things. Julie is packing her shit, one handed. What a champ (not trying tp be mean here). Jack seems exhausted still from last night, but I have to admit that that was hell of a run he did. Seems like everyone is ready to go now, I'm going to be on the motorbike of course, with Julie. This ride is awesome. Jack is in the truck with the others feelin' down I believe.
*Evening*
Man that was hell of a ride I'd say, ran over a few craze, and all that "fun" stuff. No, not what you're thinking. I'm sitting on a bench, looking towards the field, with my beer. Jack is soth the doctor, people are doing their business, and Julie just talked to me about random stuff. How her brother died. It's pretty fucked up, I tell you that. Man, it's good to have drama in life too right? Not too much though obviously. Oh, Jack is here.
* 20 minutes later *
Jack told me about his plan about saving the world, yeah right I told him. It's going to be useless, though it's a great idea, but we won't have enough resources to do it, no men strength, it'll bring death upon ourselves. Maybe yeah, after we know that people from other groups are willing to work together, after our faith in humanity has been restored, then yeah I'd do it. I mean there's nothing wrong with thinking big right? Jack seemed upset though when I said that. I changed the subject right away. I asked how Ann is doing, he didn't answer. He had a shock expression, but I didn't bother to ask what's wrong, though he's like my other brother now (well I save him he saves me kind of brother). Again, I changed the subject. I told him that I've been planning strategy to defend ourselves against the valors. He nodded in agreement, but he seemed to have doubts within it. I don't know why, he doesn't want anymore bloodshed maybe? I'm not too sure. I guessed he needed sometimes alone, so I left him, and proceeded to my room when I saw Moses. We talked about how me miss the stuff before this all happened. All I have now is him, I told him. He smiled, and said forgetting someone? I knew he meant Julie. He said that it's very weird how Julie and I can get along. I don't even know myself. Anyways, he left now, and I'm all alone. Julie's now asleep, tired I would say, and now I'm getting tired too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lexi, you helped me to make it this far. Thank you for that, oh and I met Julie long time ago, just thought you two would make great friends. Oh, it's true that you will always have something to fight, and die for.

Mike's Diary Day 66 - Oopps, WRONG WAY!
"This is it" I said to Julie
"Let's do it." She responded.
I unblocked the door, opened it, and with only an axe in one hand, and a machete in the other, I rushed downstairs, while Julie followed. There were only several craze left in the building, which Julie and I took care of no problem. After we got out, Julie and I just kept on running towards the forest, we didn't stop one bit. I had a feeling that it will not only attract hordes, but only other survivors. I didn't want to encounter any, so Julie and I forced ourselves to run, even when our legs almost couldn't take it anymore. After we made sure that we were safe, we sat down for a minute or two. Julie was exhausted, and so was I. After we had enough resting time, we decided to continue our way back to base, but I didn't know in which part of the forest we were, so I decided to climb the tree and try to get an advantage point; however, we were getting nowhere. The view was blocked by other trees, which made it really hard for me to even see what's near our position.This is just great.
"Ha, we're lost" I said
"Good fucking job." She said
"Hey, I'm sorry that I had to make sure that we were safe, and get as far away from the city as possible." I said.
"Could do it without the sarcasm." She responded
Great, now what? I asked myself. I think our only way is to find our way back to the city and go back home from there. There's nothing to worry about now at least because the place is quite, so that we can listen to any movements or noise made by animals, craze, or people. However; I only have my handgun and a molotov left, so I don't know how we're going to fight back in a firefight. I hoped down from the tree, and checked our loots.
"Hey, we made a good run in only 2 days " I said
"What do we got?"
"Medicine, med-kits, canned food, water, matches, ropes, sweaters, t-shirts, books, and toys."
"Yeah, ain't we make a good team?" She said
"Sure. I guess."
"Awhhh C'moonnn. You should stop being so serious." She said
I opened 2 canned food and handed one to her, best one we had in a while, considering we didn't eat yesterday. I finished the canned food in less than 5 minutes, and so did she. We wanted another one, but I told Julie and myself that we should reserve that for later, and that we should start budgeting what we gather, and what we use. The evening approaches softly, Julie and I decided to get to the top of the tree to sleep in one of the branches, and tied ourselves to the trunk. Julie climbed up to the branch above me, and is staring right now at things, while I'm doing this. Yeah, we will try to find a way back to the city from here tomorrow, and hope that we will have a ride that we can use to get back to base. Our backpacks are getting heavy with loots, and a carrier wouldn't hurt.

Mike's Diary, Day 64 - The Struggle
"Good morning Julie." I said to her
"Morning. Don't we need to go back to base?"
"Yeah, I'll walk you, then I'll go off on my way again."
"Why?" She asked
"The base needs some supplies."
"4 eyes are better than 1. I'm not leaving you."
I looked at her and nodded. We untied ourselves, and we proceed our way down the tree. I packed the rope, so did Julie. I led the way into the suburbs with her, for the whole trip it was quite, until there's a horde. I could see from a distant that the stores are near, but there were too many craze around. It was too dangerous. I ducked down, and told Julie to do so too. We sneaked around the horde, through a small alley way. There was only one door, but it's locked. Julie poked me from the back
"Mike, are you sure we're safe?"
"As long as we don't make a loud noise." I responded
I tried to break the lock open, but it was almost impossible without beating it with my crowbar. Instead, I decided to distract the horde first.
"Here Mike, boost me up." Julie whispered to me.
"What? Why?"
"So I can distract them. I'm going to throw something to the other direction so you can open the door."
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" I asked.
"Yes, hurry." She answered. I boosted her up the wall, and I ducked back down.
"Be careful." I said
"Huh, when am I not?"
She got up to the roof and threw bottles in the other direction. The horde followed. Once Julie gave a a signal, I started beating on the lock. I struggled, but eventually I opened the door. I told Julie to come down, I pushed a garbage bin towards the wall so she could step down and get off of the roof, when I was about to go in, Julie yelled.
"Mike! Behind you!" I looked back, and the craze was already on top of me.I held it's had with my strength, using one hand, and using the other to grab my knife from my back pocket, but before I did so, Julie was already on its back and stabbing it's head and neck with her shank.
"Should've stayed up the roof." I said
"You almost got your ass eaten." She responded with attitude. Now that her scream has alerted the horde, they were rushing towards us, screaming. I went inside the room with Julie, closed the door and blocked it with whatever heavy furniture that the house had.We were panicking, Julie and I were trying to figure a way out when I remembered that I still have those molotovs. However, there's no chance for me to use it since we were surrounded by the horde. I looked at Julie
"There's only one way." I said
"I'm not leaving you."
"No. I'm leaving you." I said again. I gave my uzi to her, and extra ammo.
"You must wait here. I'll take the molotovs with me and distract them. I'll come back for you." I said.
"You know I only have one hand right?" Julie said while smiling at me
"Yeah, I'll come back." I chucked with her. I walked towards the window, took a double take on Julie, then she said something.
"Mike, be careful." I think she was about to cry, I nodded. I opened the window, went outside and told Julie to lock the window again. I ran while screaming to lure the horde. Man, they were fast. I ran for at least 10 minutes, and they were still following me. I looked back, and I threw my first molotov. BOOM, set them in flames. I continued running, just to encountered more of them. I decided to go inside a building and threw my last molotov, and I disappeared from the horde's sight. I went to the second building, the house which Julie is in is visible from my floor, and I could see Julie from there. I went outside to the roof in the evening trying to signal here that I was fine, but she didn't notice me. There were only five craze left downstairs (approximately). If I could be stealth enough, I could kill them and get out of here as soon as possible, I thought to myself. I started to make my way downstairs, every step was my chance of survival. I ducked down once I got to the bottom floor. It's weird, in the evening, some of them just stood there, especially when there's no light. They looked like someone who stand sleeping. I approached the first craze near the stairs, stabbed it right in the head twice with my knife, and the rest didn't react. I was confused for a second, maybe there are different species of mutants? I don't know. I didn't take any chances. I opened the door and ran back to where Julie is. Once I arrived, I could see that she was ready with the uzi. I knocked on the window, and Julie opened it. This night, I covered all windows with wooden planks, right before I write this journal. I also told Julie that I was on the north east building, and that I could see her from there, but her respond was
"Of course I didn't see, I was trying my best to not get distracted. I want to live."
We didn't eat at all today, the hunger overcame me as I write, that's why I'm going to sleep now, and scavange more stuff tomorrow. We didn't even get the chance to look what goods does this house have.

Mike's Diary Day 63 - The Reason why I go alone?
I passed out yesterday, in my office, with the door open. I thought about what I said yesterday to my brother, about the war. I right away took out sheets of paper and started drawing strategies, movements, and things that we could possibly do to win the war. I drew bunch of escape routes, what we would do if we are defending, and what we would do when we are advancing. We have reinforcements, with 267 people, but it's best for us to not lose a soul. I planned every detail of it, sketched it, and thought about it. Most of them would cost a life or two, which I do not want to risk at all. I walked outside, my first destination this morning was Moses's office. I asked him the right to take care of the base, well at least the bases' walls, 'soldiers', and other little things. He granted my wish, now, I'm basically the Vice-owner of the base along with my brother, except he doesn't understand the things that I do, and I have more experience than him. I went back into my office, but before I stepped into the room, I thought of Jack. Instead, I changed my course of direction towards the hallway where Jack's room is placed. I knocked on the door, no-one answered, so I decided to open it. I could see from the little slit between the door and the wall, Jack is lying down, sleeping probably. I haven't encountered him since then. I looked out of my office window, Julie is walking towards the entrance, towards my office. I wondered why.
"What's up?" I asked her, right after she entered my office
"Jess asked me to see how you're doing"
"Never better."
"You look stress, what's up with you?"
"Just trying to plan some things to improve the base." I said
"I have an idea, why don't we decorate the kids' rooms?"
"Ummm,, that's going on my sixth list."
"Hell, what's the first to fifth then?" She asked
"Some other improvements."
"Alright, if you need help just call me. I'll probably at the shooting range."
"Don't waste too much ammunition."
"Hey, I'm a better shoot that you." She said as she left the room.
After she left, I locked the door, at this point, I forgot about the meeting so I told some kids to tell Moses that I have cancelled the meeting. I was too busy making lists of stuff that I should do to this base.
List of Improvements:
1. Check gates, and make holes behind the wall so patrols can see, aim, and shoot what's behind the wall
2. Food shortage is running low with more people coming in (Scavange, tell Jack to farm after he has healed)
3. Medicine shortage is running low
4. Amunition (Stop using guns, invent our own weapons)
5. Emergency, attack, and escape drills
6. Decorate kids' rooms, and hallways.
After I'm done, I rushed outside my office, and ordered at least 15 people to go around the base to check and make the holes in the walls (trying out new things). They did, I re-wrote the list twice, and I tried to find a huge billboard for the lists to be posted. I did, I nailed it onto the main hallways' wall of rooms so people can see, and realize what is happening to the base. I didn't want to stay in the base in the evening (it was so dead and boring), so at 8 o'clock sharp, I decided to pack my stuff, a handgun, molotovs, and blunt weapons, and go for a scavenge walk. When I was about to exit the gates however, Julie spotted me.
"Going somewhere?" She asked
"Just for a walk."
"Man, you gotta stop going alone." She started to raise her voice
"Sshhh.. you want to come with me? I'm going to show you something cool."
"This better be good." she responded.
I waited for her to pack up her stuff in front of the gate
"Ready?" I asked
"Tottaly" Julie said
I opened the gate, and off we go. I led the way this time through alleys full of craze, spiked plantation, and other dangerous stuff which I wont mention right now. I stopped riget in front of the tree, climbed it, I attached my body to a rope, then the rope to the tree. From the tree, there's another rope for Julie to hold to help her climb. After minutes of struggle, she understood oh it is all being well paid of. This is the largest, tallest tree. Right in front of us is the ocean with the moon, making a good and harmonious combination.
"This is the reason why I go alone. To relax, and get away from everything for once." I said to her, she nodded. Now she's asleep with the rope tied to her body and the tree, and I'm just here staring at the moonlight.

Mike's Diary Day 51 - "If I die, then let be."
"Bad dreams huh?"
"Yeah."
"I hate them."
"Me too."
I stood up, grabbed my crowbar, and when I was about to walk outside, she said,
"Still don't want to talk to me I see." While she walks pass me. I just glanced at her and keep walking behind her. I saw the group was ready and all I could hear was
"Did she actually wake you up?" asked Jess, I didn't say anything and shook my head. We packed up, refilled the gas in the car, and when I was about to get on the truck, Jack said
"Hey, you had more sleep, you're driving." I switched to the driver seat, Jack is on the passenger seat, and Julie, Ann, Victor, and Jess were sitting at the back. In about three to four hours drive, Ann said
"Guys, I need to go to the bathroom."
"thirty more minutes and there's going to be a gas station." Jack informed her while looking at his map.
"Are you tired bud?" Jack asked, but I shook my head.
"Look, when you were sleeping yesterday, we were talking about Julie." He paused for a second and continued.
"Jess, Victor, and I were talking, but then those two hooligans wanted Julie to stay with us."
I hit the break pedal, and paused for a second.
"On the other hand, Julie also wants to stay with us."
"No." I said,
"Why are we stopping?" Jess asked,
"Because we have to decide whether she's staying or not." Jack said,
"Well can she stay? I need to go to the bathroom." Ann responded.
"Look, the valors is one big army I will not start a war with them just for Julie, I won't risk our entire base, my brother is still there." I said,
"Finally he speaks." Julie whispered,
"Knock it off." Jack said to Julie. There, I guess we all know now that the vote is 3 against 2 excluding Ann.
"Look she's not staying with us." I said, then I kept driving. thirty minutes later, we arrived at the gas station, and Ann impulsively ran towards the bathrooms without checking anything. Once she's done, she went out, and yelled "WALKERS!" I ran towards her, and managed to kill it, what a bloody mess. Then came another one, then another, and then another. We were so scattered so all the groups were scattered, and by scattered I mean Julie, Jack, and I were on the gas station's gate, and Victor, Jess, and Ann were already in the car. I looked over to Jack, then Julie.
"I'll distract them, you and Julie head for the car." He nodded
"We're not leaving you here." Said Jack
"Yes, we are not." Julie added.
"We need you to lead the squad." Jack said
"RUN! Now Julie." She rushed towards the car
I held Jack's arm and said, "If I don't make it alive, you're in charge, and.... keep her safe." I said, then he nodded. He took off, and hoped in to the car, and all I could heard was Julie's faint voice saying
"How about Mike?"
At that moment, I think, well if I don't survive this one, at least they will. I then took off my shotgun and fired it into the air, distracting the craze from the car which then took off into the foggy evening. I ran backwards while firing, and since I didn't want to waste my shotgun ammo, I decided to hack and slash them with my crowbar while retreating deep into the forest until I'm finally alone. How stupid, I should've brought my tent with me. Now, I have to make a shelter, fire, and won't be able to sleep for more than 2 hours cycle. How stupid.
