Zombies are like magnets. Or well…maybe humans are like magnets and zombies are like those little metal bits that you move around WITH magnets. Yes that’s it. Let’s try this again.
Humans are like magnets. Some of us are attracted by each
other and others are repealed. Only difference is that if you flip us around we
don’t start attracting those we repeal. Or I guess, sometimes we do. But
anyways.
Humans are magnets and zombies are little bits of metal
dust. The closer humans get to them, the faster they move. Thought I heard something. Where was I …..Oh
yeah the zombies.
You know, every one used to be all “oh zombies aren’t real”,
“Zombies can’t exist”, “even if zombies showed up they would never take down
the world.” HA and where are all those people now I ask you? Eaten…or dead…or
looking to eat me. Hehehe. Eat me. HA. EAT ME YOU JACK ASSES.
This is like that old episode of the Twilight Zone where the
guy just wants to read but everyone tells him no and then they all die and he
gets to read all he wants but then his glasses break so he can’t see. Only
instead of having broken glasses, we have hordes of parasite controlled corpses
looking to chew our flesh off our bones. But at least we’re not alone and at
least I don’t need glasses. And the Geek shall inherit the zombie infested
world. BTW. Did you borrow any books from my room? Can’t find one I was
reading. No biggy, just want to know where it went so I can finish it at some
point.

Sarah is asked me what cheese tastes like. Funny how we don’t
think of somethings. The kids read the books we bring them but don’t understand
the world described in them. I think we should find a cow. I will see if the
library has a book on how to make cheese and butter next time I do a sweep there.
I still think we should move the base to some place larger and move the library
there.
I miss cheese. And the internet. I wonder if there is
someone out there who has it running. Some lonely person logging into empty
chat rooms and dead forums; looking for signs of life online like we look for
it in the empty towns around us.
CheeseInternet
Fresh coffee
Pizza (really miss pizza)
Steak (seriously. I think we could totally keep cows. Just need to set up the security right)
New cloths
Going into a store and just looking around at what they have instead of clearing it first and always being on guard
Talking to new people
Funny. I used to hate having to meet new people. Hated having to be judged. But now. I miss the stupid socially required “how are you today. Fine. How are you. Ok. Did you find what you were looking for.”
Can you imagine that conversation now? “Are you bitten? No,
are you? No. Did you see anything? I think you have a zombie on aisle 5 near
the canned beans. Clean up to aisle 5. Clean up to aisle 5.”
Meh. Might not be so bad.
Magnets? Ok. I guess
I can see the resemblance. But dude. Seriously. You think up some of the
randomest shit some times. Ok. So we get a cow and we get a cheese book. Does
any one know how to get the milk OUT of the cow? I sure as shit don’t know how
to “milk” a cow. It always just looked like the farmer dude in movies was just
pulling on those dangling things on the cow and milk came out. I miss French fries
and buffalo wings and that hot sauce that came in those little packets. Hmmm tacooos.
I miss Tacos. Where would we even FIND a cow?
Oh and Todd was in
your room the other day. Maybe he has your book.
Man. Doing a total
clearing on a building is a pain in the ass. But I think your right. After all,
it will have to get done at some point unless we plan to just hide where we are
for like the rest of eternity. I vote for sports complex. (you
would :P)
noon-6pm
Oh man I miss
chocolate. Like not the powdered stuff but like the really expensive stuff that
you could get a those specialty shops. Oh and pineapples
And kiwisAnd shopping for shoes
Going to the beach. (we should totally set up a pool.)
I don’t like cows. They smell. I would rather have goat cheese anyways.
Ooohhh I could
have a flower garden if we had more space. I vote for that private school just
east of town. It has a high wall and lots of garden space. It has a pool.
If Jon and
Linda keep going at it like they do, they will need a whole building just for
their kids.
I think there was
talk of looking for a better location at the last meeting. They really should
talk to us about this stuff first. “We would like you to go out and get eaten
while checking to see if anyone has repainted city hall. Um No. really. Well ok.
How about checking to see if the newspaper as come out with a new edition? Uh..nay”
I swear they think up the dumbest stuff in there. It’s like they want us to
shoot their ideas down. I did like their
idea to put kites up to signal people that we are here. They are pretty even if
no one ever comes. I do miss being able to call some one in another state or
log on and talk to some one in a different country. Kind of feels lonely. Like
what if we are the only people left in the entire world. Kind of a scary idea.

The logbook
is NOT for personal conversations. It is to keep track of events and issues at
this posting.

You wanted things to be like they used to be? How much more normal can you get then getting reprimanded by a dickish supervisor.
6am-12
Hehehe
1200 hours-1800hours
I am not
dickish.
(several pages torn out)
and another thing, you always use the last of the TP and
never replace it. You don’t even mention that we need more. Which is what this
god damned note book is FOR. Zombies could be popping up all around us and I would
never know because its all “food this and food that and todd said this and
sarah did that and jon has this and so and so is sleeping with so and so.” And for the record its "REPEL". Learn to spell.
Wow…You really need to learn to relax.
6-noon
Tell us how you really feel.

Aaww does some one need a huggy-wuggy?
1800-0000
I hate you
three so much.
He he, that was cool.
ReplyDeleteOne thing though, shouldn't magnets repel instead of repeal?
I was thinking of putting in more spelling errors. This is a hand written notebook so I figured you would have some pop up. Oh but that gives me an idea.
DeleteThis was a lot of fun. I was about to make the same comment about 'repeal' but I love that you made that part of the story.
ReplyDeleteLittleD I knew you'd come through with something awesome! This is really fun to read. It's got a much more personal tone than most zombie fiction, and I like how there aren't any zombies directly involved here, but they permeate the references.
ReplyDeleteVery clever idea with the spelling errors and the fonts to represent the different people logging in the book. The wry humor is fantastic, and it's clear that these people are living in a world drastically changed. I enjoyed this, and I'd read these people's logbook any time.
Catching up. This was a riot! It so perfectly gives off those "office politics" vibes. Like at someplace where people could show up high, and the boss/supervisor hates them but can't fire them. I would also read more of this journal.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That was kind of what I was shotting for.
