20 October 2005
I panicked. Found a hospital and freaked out and shot at some folks. Evidently, one or more of them killed me. Next thing you know, I've got this burning sensation in my arm, my ears are buzzing and my brain is kinda fuzzy. Some kind soul had revived me. I'm feeling somewhat better, but still kind of shaky. Hell, I don't even remember my own name, just my fireteam callsign, "Minotaur." Welcome to the suck.
Inventory of my belongings brings up nothing. I must have dropped my pistol somewhere along the way. I wandered outside of the hospital and started exploring. I hope to find a weapon and maybe some ammo so I can defend myself.
It's getting dark, so I found an apartment complex that's barricaded to hole up in. There's other people here. Some of them actually seem to know what they're doing. There's another guy here who's just been revived. Hopefully, neither of us will revert to....THAT again.
I'm going to try to get some sleep. Tomorrow I need to get out and find some weapons and ammo.

Woke up, couldn't sleep real well. Went next door to a police station. Rummaged around a bit and found a shotgun with one shell. Well, it's better than fighting the zeds with my bare hands. I'll keep looking around, hopefully I'll find some more shells.

Found a length of pipe in a factory. It's barricaded well enough. Just hope the zeds don't try to break in.

Spent most of the day bouncing back and forth between a police station and the factory. Scrounged around in the police station and picked up some shells and a pistol clip. Found another length of pipe in the factory. It should make a good noggin' knocker. Been spurts of activity, with a catnap grabbed here and there as I get the chance. Tomorrow, I hope to make my way to a new spot, not too close to the police, but not too far, either.
Wish I could find my team. When we were dropped here, I'd only been with them for about a year. We trained for all sorts of things, but never expected this! Fighting zeds is a whole lot different than fighting fanatics in the desert. At least, if you hit a desert kook, he stays down. These zeds stand right back up and start gnawing on you!
That reminds me. I'm going to have to brave a mall sometime soon. I'm getting hungry. Not a lot to eat in the buildings I've been in so far.

Yesterday was spent sleeping. Didn't realize I was so tired. Looks like I made it through the sleep without too much trouble. Didn't wake up dead, thank God.
Went exploring again today. Found a library that was barricaded pretty well. Went inside and found a few other folk. Started rummaging around, reading books as I couild. Some of them had some good information. I took notes and hopefully I'll be able to use this shotgun a bit better. Gotta remember to lead a moving target.
24 October 2005 Who cares about the time of day?
Who knew studying could take up so much time? Read, eat, sleep. Read, eat, sleep. I'm learning, though.
