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 59 - Oh no. Is this it? No!

          I got up very early in the morning, I woke the new guy up. He looked panic, and tired when I shook him from his sleep. I put my hand over his mouth so he didn't scream, well I also told him not to.
          "We're going to get you patched up okay?" I said to him calmly. He nodded as I looked through my bag for a knife and alcohol. I told him to bite on a cloth, and do the usual routine. Pour, stab, dig, wrap. He screamed like a dying pig. After we were done, the sun has already risen from its sleep. I woke everybody up and told them to pack up. I went into Julie's tent, and sat right beside her while the others wait outside.
            "You ready kiddo?"
            "Yes. Mike. Don't worry about me. I'm not, her. I can take care of myself." She responded. I was shocked.
             "What do you mean?"
             "I'm not Lexi. I can take care of my damn self." She said again.
I stood up, told her to pack up, then went outside. I packed my backpack, meds, painkillers, molotovs, Uzi, and a knife. I put my hoodie on, jeans, and we were off our ways towards the Valors. Jack was quietly guarding the new guy, the others to were quite. Jack told Victor to look after the wounded guy, and Jack approached me.
              "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked
              "No."
              "Then?"
              "We'll see." I responded.
We walked for another hour or so, and here we are. 50 yards from the huge concrete gate. My palms were sweating,I was nervous. Very, especially in Julie's condition. A missing right hand. Oh this is just great. We walked until we're face to face to the gate's lock, then I called out.
               "Package is here!" I said while looking back to Julie.
The door opened, 3 guys came out. They were no taller than 5 foot 9. 
               "Great, your weapons are ready." Said one, while the others whispered to each other.
               "Bye guys." Julie said sadly while she hugged each one of us. I couldn't let go but I had to. Julie went in with the three guys, but I managed to held one of their hands and asked
                "Where are the other kids?" I asked
                "Inside."
                "How can I know for sure?" Everyone went silent. The three guys looked at each other. One of them told the other to get several kids from inside. I looked each of their faces. Little terrified faces, and then they went back in. It was Julie's turn, they way these guys handle these kids is suspicious if you ask me. When me and the group were about to walked away, one of the three guys said
                 "A little girl with one hand gives no pleasure." he chuckled.
                 "What the fuck did you just say?" Julie said, I froze while the group kept walking. I turned, walked up to them and said
                 "Yeah. What the fuck did you just say?"
The three guys looked at each other, and at an instant I disarmed my Uzi, and just fired at those three. They let go of Julie, she ran to me, the group was prepared, valors rushing out of their bases, we made a run. We run, and run until we saw a full sized van. I told Jack to hurry and hot wire the car. I told him to drive through highways, get away from that valors' base. I told him to drive us to the previous base. Great, I just started a fucking war. The valors fired, they missed, fired again, penetrated the door, I'm hit. I'm dizzy. I want to sleep. The others were yelling, Jack was saying something that I couldn't understand, Julie told me 'stay with her'. I couldn't bear the pain, this is it. This is the end for. is it? No! I have something to fight for. The group. Julie, Jess, Victor, Jack, Ann, that random dude. Oh no. I need a rest. Oh no I've gone unconscious.

Day 46 - "Separation"

     Victor woke me up in the morning, man I must've been passed out for too long. I thought to myself. I opened my eyes (still blury), then I saw everybody was waiting for me to pack up. Well too tired, considering I lured the cutter off and drove the RV since forever. I thought again. I got up, went to the water cooler, grabbed a bottle, and washed my face with it. The rest is just walks for hours.

      I walked slowly until I was walking parallel with Jack and said "Ever thought of dying?" I asked

     "Sometimes."

     "Are you scared?"

     "Somewhat. We just don't know what's after death." He said, "you?"

     "What?" I asked

     "Scared?"

     "No." I'm not scared of death. We were already doomed once we were born. I'm ready under any circumtances.

     "Why bother to survive then?" Jack said while pointing his gun at me. I looked at him, then I smiled.

     "There's always something you have to fight for. You don't give up, you want to make people who care about you happy" I said. Then we just kept walking until we went into suburbs. We went into one of the houses, scavanged for water, guns, or anything really. Nothing, then we went back out to head to a school. We were too late, the student clinic was already been looted FUCK! I thought. Then, when we went outside, there were survivors, weird ones, they have some kind of dress code (red top, blue pants). 

     "What do we have here?" Said the leader

     "Survivors." I said

     "And who's that little girl?" He waved at Lexi

     "I'm none of your GODDAMN business!" Lexi said

     "Whoa ho ho! Terrifying." Said the leader. I saw Victor's finger was on the trigger ready to pull, I looked at Jack who was anxious as if he was saying (just kill these motherfuckers) and also ready. In the matter of mili second, we all spread out, and BANG BANG BOOM! Gunfights.   There were too many of them so I decided to retreat. I led the way, Lexi, Jess, Victor, and J-- I looked back and he was pinned down. Oh great. I told the rest three to run towards the blue roofed dorm and wait for me and Jack there. I went back for Jack, and opened fire, Jack ran towards me when his right thigh  gets shot. He was limping, towards me, I supported him with my own body, then we rushed for the building beside the school. We managed to hide, but we won't be risking our lives going back outside, especially when I have a man down with me. I gotta do something. I rushed to the first aid box, took out a bottle of alcohol, dipped my knife into it, heat it up, and gave a small wooden spoon to Jack.

     "Bite on this. It's going to be hurt." I said, he nodded. Slash,, I sunk my knife into his thigh, blood splattered, I dug my finger in his flesh, and took the bullet out. He was moaning in pain, but when it all ends, he managed to say thanks. I tied a cloth to stop the bleeding, gave him my water, and take a rest. He's now asleep, hope nothing happened to those three in the dorm.

Mike's Diary Day 39 - Someone isn't gonna go home today.

          I woke up the next morning, feeling so relieved knowing that I'm still alive and in one piece. Something is kinda odd though, I feel like there's something is missing, oh well. The old man made me breakfast, so I eat it.

"You didn't put poison in it right?" I chuckle.

"Why would I?why should I?"

"Err, I don't know"

          I get up and brush lovely horse. She looks exhausted, well no kidding. She slept on a dirt lastnoght instead of her cozy, warm looking barn that's full of hay. Poorlittle thing. I don't know what the plan is for tokay, but for Dan sure I want to go back to base and spend no longer than another night outside with this old man and horse. I wonder what people in the base are up to today, and Lexi, and Moses, and Jack. Oh man ohman, its gonna be abother disastrous they for them. I pack up everything then off again to our jjourney in finding a way back home. 

         I was cruising a horse and then I felt something penetrates my right shoulder. The bullet makes its way through my?flesh and bones, the stinging of painT can feel, and I just fall off of my horse to the ground. I return fire

"Give me your gun!" The old man said, so I did. He then returns fire t the raiders, and I so cover his six with only a magnum pistol. My horse panics and ditched us two in the middle of a crossfire. Vision is starting to blur, all I can see is the oldman returning fire, then pass out.

      Then I see faces of people I know who were eaten alive and turned to one of those... things. I see blood, dead bodies, and all the stuff that can possibly disturb for life. In my unconsciousness, I'm thinking "this is it". I saw light, a bright red light, thinking "am I going to hell?" I just wish that people won't be worried about me, so I can die in piece, but again it will never happened. I was about to touch the light when I suddenly I hear gunfire, I was woken up by the hissing of the bullets and the old guy yelling at me and pleas to God to save me and keep me alive. Part of mybody is aching and I can barely get a hold on my own gun, when suddenly another bullet strikes me in m leg. The pain I can no longer bear with, then so I completely unconscious
