15th OctoberThe last few days have been busy. Basically all of us went to Pennine manor and emptied it of anything of use. We killed a lot of zombies in different places and times but they mounted up. I’m starting to see we need people. I can’t do this on my own. I get up first and nine times out of ten I’m the last to bed. I’m working fifteen hours a day more some times. I thought the end of the world would knock the lazy out of people.Colin was fitting in nicely. He was well mannered and worked like a machine. He was like my shadow where ever I went he was there. He was ready for action at all times. Weather it was fighting or laboring he was keen to get stuck in. What I was thinking though was he had a brain in his head as well as a good attitude. He was going to make use of it. His schooling was going to start. I know I’m a fine one to talk. It was that rare that I went to school they thought I was trespassing.If s

Later 19th OctoberWhen the dust had settled and everyone was out at work I made excuses for me and April. Rita almost put a spanner in the works by saying she was thinking of going today. With some fast talking, I got her to wait at least one more day. Now me and April we’re on the road and going slow. I hoped that someone would be at one of the meeting spots and at the same time hoped there wasn’t.I could not believe my eyes when we got close to the first meeting point. There it was Itchy's fucking tank. He had driven through garden walls and parked bang under the painted sigh. He wasn’t out of his tank that I could see but it was definitely his tank. No one else had one. I wonder if he has always thought this day would come or if he was just wrong in the head. Well I know he is wrong in the head but planning maybe. I park close but far enough away to be able to scarper quick if needed. With nothing blocking our exit. I look April in the

Time was coming to go and see if my old teacher was going to behave. Mr Stainburn and I have never been on good terms. Maybe an apocalypse has changed him and he is now a reasonable human being. Who am I trying to kid I saw the people with him? They were worked up and wanted blood. The second we moved they were on us. There is no way I’m going to be able to negotiate with them. I will go and meet with him but I won’t be unprepared. Two days back I made Gaz Earl and wright go out with the rifles to practice sniping from a good distance around one hundred and fifty meters. When they were hitting the same target consistently I broke the news to them about the meeting and how I had set it up. Gaz went fucking ballistic. “You go on and on at us about being safe. Always let other know where your going and why. You oh no not you Mr Sid I can do what the fuck I want even if it means I might get killed. Out of everyone you have been in more danger than any of us. Now

It was obvious that there was something in this house. You know when you know there is someone near but you can’t see them. This is how I was feeling now. I know that something is coming to me as well as the zombies brewing at the door.There was a thud and then an old woman’s voice. Well that’s how it sounded to me. The slight croak and waver of old age. It could be an old man with a high pitched voice for all I know at this moment.“Oh my goodness. Oh well whoever is in here drop your weapons. Don’t swear if you know what’s good for you. I can’t stand foul language.”“I cant drop them if the undead get in here i need to defend myself.”“If you don’t drop them your dead and I’ll feed you to them myself.”This old person had a bad ass attitude and I liked it. With threats coming at me from every angle i tossed down my weapons with a smile. Then called up to my host.

Morning came far too slowly. I had laid in a strange bed staring up at a strange ceiling all night. If my eyes closed for longer than a blink. I would have been shocked. No amount of house checks had made me feel safe. I was running on adrenaline. Some nice drugs would go down a treat now. A bit of coke or a gram of billy something to sharpen the senses. No sleep for about thirty hours is no good. April did sleep but it was on and off all night. When she woke I pretended to be asleep to avoid the questions. No hiding now.I was up and dress. This time I didn’t try to sneak out. The chances someone attacking me were high. Jessie came with me to the door. I was going for a smoke and I guess she needed a shit.On the doorstep was a note. I picked it up to read. This was bad. While we rested they had come here as well. They must have followed one of us some how. Or they have been watching us for a while. Getting a plan together on how to get rid of us. I read the note.You can’t stay here
