Know one was feeling great this morning. We all held our heads at the table. Gaz got up and went to a cupboard in the kitchen. I watched to see what he was doing. He got a box of pain killers out.
"I don't think any of us should do that."
"Why" A rough one-word answer it annoyed me but I swallowed it down. We were in his house after all.
"Do you have an unlimited supply?"
"No." Again with the one-word answer. At least this time he sounded like he was thinking.
"So do you know how long it will take before life gets back to normal?"
"No, you don't have to go on about it. I get it we might run out if we don't start rationing."
He put the box of pills back. How do we get rid of this hand over then? I got up and poured a jug of water and put four glasses on the table. Everyone was looking at me expectedly.
" Let's have a bacon butty and make a plan." Lucy was the first to speak.
It was five in the morning and the sun was coming up. It was still dark but getting lighter. I was absolutely knackered. A few hours sleep would not go a miss but I needed to keep going. I went to my supply of speed I had hidden it away alongside my other drugs. I didn't tell anyone I had them. Looking around to make sure no one was watching I took a small amount to keep me going. I made myself a cup of coffee and sat down outside and had a fag. I was shocked to see a zombie walking through a field about one hundred metres away. I was concerned about seeing one so far away from any other houses. I saw an axe at the end of the house next to a pile of wood. I picked it up and walked to a metal gate that led into the field. The zombie didn't appear to have noticed me at this point. So I got the axe and banged on the gate softly. It stopped moving I was shocked at how sensitive its hearing was. I tapped again no louder than the first time. It looked to be sniffing the air. So tapped aga
I was woken by the sound of the others down in the kitchen. My ears were still ringing from the shotgun the other day. I went downstairs after getting washed and brushed my teeth."Morning everybody.""Morning." everyone spoke in unison."Has anyone had any more thoughts on what they think we should do.""Sit down Sid. We have been talking already. Lucy has said that she is worried about the water we are fed from a natural spring at the moment.""Ok, that's a good point Red. What does everyone else think.""Well, I have suggested that Lucy gets on the Internet before it all goes down to find ways of distilling water and storing electricity. Gaz is worried about the fuel for all the vehicles.""OK has anyone had ideas about that.""Gaz has suggested that he and Earl go round the filling stations and fill containers.""And what about you Red.""Me personally I think that they are all great ideas but who am I to say.
The day before had taught us all a lesson about being quiet. We saw how much they are attracted to sound. We all wanted to say thank you to Itchy Coo."So what do you know about Itchy Coo then Sid"gaz had a massive cheesy smile on his face. Like he thought I was going to tell them something good."I don't know him I've met him a few times when I was younger. I used to go up on the moors to pick mushrooms to sell. I never dabble in hallosenagenics. Whereas Itchy eats mushrooms like sweets. People call him Itchy Coo because he lives in a tank and doesn't have a bath or shower so he stinks and is always scathing. He's about sixty at guess. That's all I know about him. "We talked for a bit longer and decided that me and Gaz would carry on with the fencing and the others would go for more supplies. This time we all went out armed and heavily clothed. It was just me and Gaz at the farm when we heard a car horn. We dropped everything and went to see what it wa
The last few days work had really got cracked on. We had built a good fence around the barns and house. We had got netting over the buildings and land inside the fence so we didn't have to worry about the birds as much. We had a strong gate at the end of the drive and we had enough food and ingredients to last the nine of us and Jessie at least five years. I'm not going to say that we are completely safe the fence needs strengthening and I have plans for traps. The girls were our main hunter-gatherers now it made sense until this place was properly fortified. Red and Earl had made water stills so we had safe water. They had been working on solar panels to power the house when the power eventually went down, but not got it worked out yet. It was around ten-thirty in the morning everyone was out doing their allocated jobs. Me and Gaz were out in the fields with the three-sixty mini digger. It wasn't ideal but it was better than using a shovel and pick to dig a large deep hole. We were
Everyone was up now. There was nothing during the night to speak of. We were all getting on with our jobs but keeping on our side of the fence as much as possible Gaz had a trials bike that we now took out with so we could catch anyone who was near quickly. We were all on pins though and after having no sleep me and Gaz were tetchy, to say the least. Me and Gaz were the only ones outside the fence still digging pits and setting traps we smashed up a load of glass and cemented the shards on top of the walls near our boundary. We had been working all morning. It had been harder without Jessie with us to spot and catch the birds. We were fully kitted out so they couldn't get us but we had to keep stopping to kill them. We went back to the farmhouse for some dinner. Everyone was there. We got sat down to eat when the power went off. It was daylight but the kettle went off the clock on the cooker went off but worst of all the burglar alarm started to go off. Gaz managed to get the alarm
I woke up buzzing I had not felt so good in a long time. Around the breakfast table, I spoke to everyone and let them know that I was going out to see who I could find I was going on the offensive. I was not willing to wait for them to come to us and catch us out. We were going to turn it around on them I wouldn't take a gun because I was going out on my Vespa and had nowhere to put one I took a couple of knives and my bat I strapped it onto the rack on the back of the Vespa everyone else was going to keep guard. I set off tooled up my phone was fully charged. I drove up and down roads looking for the car I had seen in the distance on the day of their visit. I had been out a couple of hours with no luck as of yet I don't know if it was luck. Because if I got caught I could end up dead. I decided to see if I could get close to the supermarket and sneak a look around being on my Vespa meant I could get around the abandoned cars easily deads were getting more and more common the closer
I got up around eight-thirty and got myself ready for a battle of wills. I had made my mind up to try and get James to join us. The others were not going to agree I knew that from yesterday. I was not over killing three people yesterday I couldn't get their faces out of my head. I could still see and smell the blood of the guy whose throat I accidentally cut. I don't think they will ever leave me but I can hope. I was getting to grips with the fact of the murders I had committed and justified them with the thoughts of it being them or us. I went downstairs I got sat down at the table with the others Earl was still in the barn. I spoke first."Morning I have been thinking about our guest all night and."I was cut off mid-sentence by red."We all spoke this morning before you got up. We have come to the agreement that what you say goes."I was silent for a few seconds and Gaz opened his mouth."Yeah, we will go with what you say. If he steps out of l
The last few days have been quiet but eventful. We had got thirty solar panels set up in a semi-circular form and Red had a plan the panels were wired up to batteries but we were giving them time to charge. We had been going around other farms and emptying the oil tanks for the heating and hot water. The bad things that had been happening were we had started to see more and more zombies wandering around closer to the farm all going in the same direction away from town. It was making life harder to scavenge supplies. We saw an attack and it was gruesome to see we tried to help but we were too far away. The man's screens were awful. He was ripped apart alive by four zombies his insides were out before he died he was still conscious after we had killed the zombies. We killed him out of mercy. We destroyed his brain to be on the safe side. James was best off staying at the farm when we went out. We had seen a few zombies around the farm of all sorts. James had not reacted well to seeing
