Nevins Building, Hemet
So here are my options: I can stay here, raiding grocery stores and avoiding zombies until the army comes, if they come; or I can make a break for the apparent quarantine line, about 50 miles from here. I could probably find a car with gas still in it and I should be able to get around all the debris. But what would happen once I got to the line, if it's even still there? For all I know it's long gone and I'm the last human left in the whole of Southern California. I don't know what to do.
I climbed on the roof today to see if I could see anything through the smoke. Nothing. The smoke is so th

I hit the market today. There wasn't much left. All the meat had gone bad a long time ago, the smell made me gag. The only thing edible left in that case was some pork rinds. I used to love these things, they were cheap and really good with some hot sauce. I ate one, no sauce since I couldn't find any. It was the first time I had eaten at a table since all this shit began. It felt...odd, not natural anymore.
The store was full of narrow walkways even before this, most of the shelves were tipped over and there wasn't much left. All the fruit was rotten, most of the canned soup was gone. Wh

I'm on the run again. I thought I could hold that house in the hills. I couldn't. I woke up this morning to the sound of several dozen zombies breaking through the wooden front door. I thought I had destroyed the stairs enough so that they couldn't get to the door. I guess I didn't. The roof I was on was accessed by some stairs inside the house. I was stupid and didn't destroy those. I didn't have a chance. I used most of my shells trying to fend them off. I have 3 left. I may use one of them on myself.
When I realized that I couldn't fight I jumped off the roof into a pile of leaves.

Rooftop of some house in the West Side Hills
I've found shelter for now. I'm on top of a pretty nice house that overlooks the entire valley. It's not a pretty site. Most of the buildings I can see through the smoke are wrecked or burning. I found some binoculars inside the house but can't see a damned thing with them. No signs of life below me. I haven't seen too many zombies up here, which is good considering I don't have much ammo. In the house I did find a few boxes of .30-06 ammo, which is totally useless to me since the only .30-06 gun I ever had is currently in the middle of a hoard of zombies back at the Home

Home Depot
This morning we made a break for it. We failed. There was a hoard waiting for us when we opened the storage room door. A lot of them. They came flooding into the storage room. We were backed into a wall for a while, we had to crowbar our way out. I almost lost my gun. After we escaped the room, sealing several zombies into it, we made for the stairs. That's when we saw them: Britt's parents. Fuck!
They were blocking our way, they were between us and the stairs. She raised her gun to them and froze. I can't blame her. I froze too. I haven't killed anyone I know face to face like this. My old friend

Storage Room, 2nd floor Hemet Hospital
I'm ok for the time being, at least, I'm not a zombie. Turns out it was just scratches. That thing must've had fingernails like a tiger. So, that was the good news. The bad news is that, despite pouring an entire bottle of peroxide and rubbing alcohol on my arm it still got infected, bad. In normal circumstances we would just go the doctor, get a shot, and be done with it. We're not in normal circumstances.
After a hellish night of awkward silence between me and Britt we figured that it was just a scratch. Thank God! That was 2 days ago. I woke up this morning to a wicked in

I'm fucked. At least I think I am. I don't know! I think I got bit, I'm not sure though, I never saw the zombie, only felt him. It happened just after noon. Me and Britt were in a Target across the street looking for some wearable clothing. The place had been completely looted, crap everywhere, a lot of destroyed stuff.
We were poking around, there wasn't much left. There was a pile of debris, I didn't know there was one under it! I wasn't on my guard and the fucking thing wasn't even moaning! I reached into the pile to feel around. Next thing I know something is clamping down on my arm. I

We're back in the Home Depot, finally. It was quite a trip, took the better part of a day. We woke up to the sound of about 20 zombies pounding on the truck door, I guess I was wrong about being hidden. I ran over a few of them. The sky is really smoky now, a lot of fires must be burning. Thank God the Home Depot is still secure, it looks like we'll be riding out the rest of this thing here.
We have everything we need, plenty of water, food stored until the crops can be ready. Me and Britt are rotating watches. We've also painted Alive inside, Help, 8/8/09, it's big enough so that
