Now I wish I'd followed my old ex's advice and bought that damn rifle.
They're starting to spread out from the mall area. Although, I can't tell who the actual zombies are from the people who were shopping or working there. They look way too alike. But there are more of them coming south on 41 now.
Are they heading for population centers or are they just wandering aimlessly?
No new noises from the stairwells. A little while ago there was an...altercation...out there. There was a really loud banging on one of the doors downstairs. And then there was a lot of shouting. I grabbed my stick and my tachi and went outside to investigate. One of my downstairs neighbors - the one who is always playing his base way too loud - was struggling with one of them. I tried to get it through the back with my stick, but it kind of glanced off.
If I survive I promise to take anatomy classes, I PROMISE! It didn't even seem to notice the blow. My neighbor managed to shove it away from him. The thing stumbled and started falling into me. It was by pure reflex that I swung my tachi. The blade bit into the thing's neck and made it most of the way through. Hooray for sharpening replicas for fun! At that point my neighbor pulled a handgun and shot the thing in the head. It was gross. But the zombie stopped twitching.
I tried to flick the gore off my sword, but failed rather spectacularly and got clotted blood on both me and my neighbor. He glared at me for a moment and then broke out into a nervous smile. He stepped out of the open doorway to his apartment and extended his hand to shake mine. He started to speak, but I never heard it. This bloody hand and arm grabbed him from inside the apartment and pulled him back in. He screamed and the gun fired a bunch of times. I rushed to the doorway only to see what must have been his girlfriend ripping his head off his body. I backed away before she could see me and headed back up to my place. I didn't see the gun.
I'm going to start making Molotov cocktails like someone suggested. Just in case. If I have to go, then I'll do it in a mini-firestorm and take some of these fuckers with me.
