Safe for the time being.

The trek to WalMart was harrowing. If it wasn’t zombies it was people in cars attempting flee from zombies, zombies attempting to drive cars, people trying to run over zombies, or people throwing things at .

The parking lot of our office building was a flaming wreck. People trying to get out. Cars smashed into each other, there was an eight-foot-high wall of fire out there. Unfortunately it was only our section of the parking lot, meaning all my coworker’s cars were toast, and we were still unprotected on three sides.

By the way? SUVs? Not so fire-resistant, and I don’t think “flaming wall of cars” was what they had in mind when they intended it for off-road use.

Someone said we should boost a car from a not-on-fire part of the lot. This is not as easy as it looks in the movies. We never even managed to smash the window in, let alone jimmy the locks (hahaha). I don’t know if we would have known what wires to touch to get it started. I can push-start a stick shift, but since we couldn’t even get into a car at all, it was useless information.

Someone should’ve put a zombie plan in the books years ago. Set up safe points and a communication system. Ways to identify other non-zombies as we run through the streets to defend ourselves or seek supplies.

I’m on a notebook, running on battery. We’ve got to conserve it because we don’t know what will happen next. Fortunately someone’s charging a few spare batteries now, while we have the ability. Don’t know what we’ll do about the internet connection. Right now we’re wireless. Jacking someone else’s bandwidth.

But we have guns now. And food. I’ve never handled a gun before, let alone fired one. They’re so heavy! And again, it’s nothing like it is in the movies. This is going to be one hell of a learning experience.
