I guess I've learned my lesson now: to pay more attention to the world around me. But in my defense, you think more people would have been talking about such a situation.

I was actually at work when the sirens went off. Yeah. At work!.

I've only lived here a few years, and we're still so close to the mountains that there really aren't that many tornadoes in the area, so I've never actually heard them. So when I heard them go off I was certainly surprised. Especially considering today's complete lack of cloud cover.

But Tornadoes?

I think not.

But how else were they supposed to get our attention?

How else were we supposed to know the world was going all to hell?

I couldn't think of anything else to do really, except to get home. Screams and car alarms off in the distance seemed to echo though the building complex and I don't think I've really been so nervous in my entire life just to walk from the building to the truck. And I've never been so glad to not have been driving in my little car than today.

I can still hear the sirens even now. I imagine its because thouse who opperate them have already died. If you can really call them dead anymore..

The radio still works though. But all it says is to stay in your homes. Don't open the doors. Don't go outside.  Every once in a while someone will come over the air with reports as to what areas are the worst.

I fear all of downtown is lost by now. And apparently most of the eastern part of town as well.

No one has come on for hours now though. I guess they couldn't stay up in the air forever.

It's just my sister and me here now. Everyone else is gone, and I don't know where they are. I tried calling mom at least twenty times, but my calls won't go through. Too jammed with the signals of other people trying to do the same thing I suppose. I hope she's safe and can still make it home.

Sister and I pushed couches up againt the doors and I nailed all the windows shut. But I don't know it thats going to help.  I'm mostly worried about the glass door leading out back though. We pushed the table against it, but if enough of them try to come through, I don't think we'll have a chance.

I hope that things won't come to that. But we've only got enough food for a few days. A week at best.  But there was no way in hell I was stopping for anything once I got in the truck. And I'm lucky I work only a few miles away, with nothing but wide roads and parking lots to cut though.

I stopped counting accidents after I got to fourteen. I'm sure there were more....

It was the first time I saw them, and I couldn't help but notice how surreal it all was; the fact that it was something I had seen many times before all in good fun. But it isn't in good fun when its right in front of your face - staring you down with hallow yellow eyes.

I didn't feel the least bit of remorse for hitting one of them. It was in my way, and it was the only confirmation that I needed at the time to establish the severity of the situation. I'll hit a hundred more if they get in my way.

I just wish I knew where we kept the shot gun in the house. I know its here somewhere in our parent's room.

Guess I should go try to find it and get myself reacquainted.

Good luck everyone... hurray for the end of the world!   (<<-please click words incase of confusion or further zombie problems)

It's just a few hours until midnight and my mom finally made it home. I was so happy that I started to cry.

I've never been so worried in my life. I was scared I would never see her again.

We had to pull her up by a bedsheat rope from the master bedroom window because all the windows doors downstairs are sealed up so tightely, I can't even get to them. We took apart the desk in John's room and a few book shelves to board them up.

Mom wrecked her car about four blocks from here. She said that there were so many cars piled up from all the people trying to leave town, and everyone was running about, screaming and crying that it was near impossible to tell what was going on. Not to mention screams from people being ripped to shreads by... zombies.

I can't belive I am actually writing that word.

Sister and I  also made contact with our neighbours. They were supposed to be having a huge house party this weekend, so they have all kinds of food. They said they would be willing to share with us if we need it. And we've agreed to take turns watching the areas around the house. We don't really have a signal or anything - just to throw things at the window and scream if we see anything.

The electricty keeps flickering on and off  now. And the raido has gone silent.

I'm surprised I can still log on, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time until we lose power again. And one of these times... it's not going to come back on.

At least the tornado sirens have stopped.

The only sounds we can hear now are the distant screams and the occasional car alarm.  Its why we've been keeping the windows closed, even though it's stuffy in here.  I just don't want to hear those noises.

None of the phones seem to work either. The land line has been dead almost all day, and even though I've got a signal on my cellphone, nothing goes through.

I just wish I knew that everyone else was safe. But I don't know... and that scares me.
