In the last six months, we’ve lost
five members of our group to these zombies. We lost Diane so early we didn’t
get enough time to learn about her. The loss of Keith was very hard on the crew
that made it over from ACE Hardware. The loss of Audrey was more because of her
own mistake. No one blaming her for hoping her boyfriend was alive but she lost
sight of the threat and that cost her her life. Dillon went MIA while on a
scouting mission so we don’t know if he is really gone but I certainly do not
see him as a coward that would just haul off and flee. And then there was the
loss of Fred but Fred died for a mission that loaded us down with so much ammo
that we could actually go on the offensive if we wanted to. I think he would
agree that was a sacrifice that he was proud to make.
We are not going to lose another
member. Our home is secure. We have plenty of supplies. Every day we seem to
learn more about our enemy and perfect our techniques when it comes to dealing
with them. That mystery fog has burned away. We know what we are dealing with
now and we know how to combat them.
We are not going to lose another
member to that despicable scourge outside. We are battening down the hatches
and we are going to ride this out. This is the part where the President tells
the troops going into battle that we are going to live on and we are going to
survive.
If you are out there, if you are
reading this, then you can do it too. Believe me, if a bunch of hicks from
Oklahoma can commandeer a grocery store and ride it out with very little
military training, then you can survive too.
If you are out there and you can get
to us, yes, we will take you in. We have more than enough supplies. We want to
help you. Just please don’t take offense if we do quarantine you for a few days
to make sure you are cool. We know infection timetables and such pretty much
make the quarantine zone obsolete now that we know what we are dealing with.
But there are still nutjobs out there that we have to be mindful of. If you
understand all that and want to be a part of our crew, please, join us. Bring
your weapons and we can provide safety.
I am not promising anyone a better
leadership environment than what Fred provided. I am not saying I am better
than him by any stretch of the imagination. And none of the people that we lost
was a result of his leadership. But this is it. I am drawing our line in the
sand. On this day, October 28th, 2013, we are not losing another
member to those freaking beasts outside our door.
Keep
fighting the good fight, everyone.
