It’s been awhile since I had left my home within Buttonville, I felt I had to…
I came to this realization after some events have started to take place within the area of the church.
Derek himself has been missing for quite some time and I fear the worst has happened. Erich was brutally murdered, a man named Jack that we both met was also killed, and I have been warned by other survivors that I had come across in Buttonville that survivors have been running around executing one another in this madness.
I have seen flares being shot off in the night sky and come to the realization that they themselves cannot be trusted. There are three key rationalities that come to mind on the topic:
1: It seems to be a source of attraction for the zombie hordes
2: Some murderers will fire off flares and wait for easy prey to arrive in order to obtain supplies
3: Many of the flares that are shot off happen to have vacant locations
As I roamed the streets I noticed that many of the buildings are not able to be entered, the doors are jammed shut from the materials that line the other side. As a result from this I have seen some people who are running from the creatures get killed within the city streets.
I have been attacked and infected several times…
However, I still wonder about the chemical compound that is used as I have been injected on several occasions by people I do not know which has saved my life. I wonder about this *disease* because it seems not only to come from the zombies bite but the streets themselves. When you are injured bad enough the disease itself will seep into the body and cause dysfunction. There have been some episodes where I have tried to control it, it gets harder the more times I am infected to control it.
The last time I was infected I felt like I was a third party inside my own body. I would be roaming the streets without my own control, as if instinct had taken over. I saw Erich in one particular situation and I prevented myself from attacking him but it was too difficult to subside. I was not in control as much as I wanted to be. I cannot say the next time that I will be able to hold *it* back.
This is another reason why I had left; I cannot be safe around others especially in a hostile area. I will be infected and I fear that I will hurt those who I have helped.
The place I lived was destroyed when I went back to visit it, to find Erich and others. There wasn’t anyone there except for destroyed walls, broken statues and bloodied décor.
I can say this however; out of all the negative going on within Buttonville when I had left I discovered a new skill and gathered many supplies for helping heal others. I broke into a hospital, dragged some dying bodies onto gurneys and started my own experimentation. I wanted to get better at helping others and through crude methods I perfected the art of performing surgical procedures.
I had some time on my hands, so I used it constructively. What else do you do in a world that is so overrun by things trying to kill you?
Unfortunately I haven’t found answers to many of my questions. I am not a geneticist, biologist, pathologist or a doctor. I’m even sure that this situation goes up and above their knowledge base regardless.
If anyone finds this journal, I want them to know that there is still hope, to be very careful and heed my words. If you can find somewhere to stay for the night do so. The alleyways and streets are not a good sanctuary for rest. Do not trust others, everyone has gone mad or has their own purposes. Overall, be safe…
You have Surgery (Player can heal a further 5HP if working in a hospital with power.)
