I know you might
wonder why we only post old picture taken from phone data and what we could
still pull off of Facebook. Yes, people do have access to their phones. We have
chargers. And we have even snapped some pictures of these zoms slobbering
around. But we are not posting them.
I mean we could have
taken pictures of Kyndall and Wes when they came into the store. But any
picture taken would have shown those two in the world that we live in now. Wes
admitted to giving up shaving (not a big deal) but Kyndall did too (a very big
deal). Thankfully, we still had a pretty big stock of lady razors on hand… Back
on topic, we are hoping that Wes and Kyndall’s parents will respond to the
emails that we sent out to their addresses. Maybe they are surfing this site
right now and, if that is the case, they wanted their parents to see them as
they were in the real world. Not how they are now.
We do the same thing
with all the initial survivors too. If any member of our family is lucky enough
to find this weblog, we want our people to be immediately recognized and I feel
like we do that with pictures from our old life, not this life where everything
has gone to hell.
I hope that is not a
disappointment to you. We have absolutely no idea how far this thing has spread
but if movies like Outbreak and Contagion have taught us anything it is
that worldwide pandemics can spread easily across the globe now because of
things like air travel. And all it takes is one infected person and a populace
that does not know what they are dealing with and this infection is wildfire.
The fact that it has a name in Kharon leads me to believe that it is in fact
everywhere. Add in the Twitter and Facebook crashes and it just seems to be
even more evidence.
Maybe I am wrong.
Maybe it is localized to just the American Midwest. And if that is the case
then maybe you are lucky enough to be reading this from a region that has not
been affected by this, then I would imagine a lot of people would like to see
the zombies. I imagine it is no different than a horrible car crash or a fat
lady in spandex. You don’t want to look but you have to.
Rubberneckers are
crawling down the southbound lane of 169 even though the wreck is all the way
over in the northbound lane. Why? Because they want to see blood or a body.
I will say this about
Hollywood. Their makeup artists are pretty good. If you have seen one decent
zombie movie with more than a hundred bucks in the special effects budget, you
can pretty much imagine what these things look like. And if I am right about
the global pandemic thing, if you haven’t seen one yet, trust me, you will.
So we are going to
keep things on the lighter side on this blog and try to cling to what we were
in our past life. Because that is the life we all want to get back to and with
a little luck maybe we will.
