I had done it – done what I couldn't imagine myself doing. I didn't think I could be capable of hurting anyone let alone what I actually did. But let me start at the beginning, let me explain what was happening.
I couldn't begin to understand what was happening to be honest. It all just happened so quickly almost overnight. People just started dying, well dying is a relative term right now.
They weren't alive in the sense what we class as 'alive'. We still weren't sure what it was back then to be honest sometimes I think we still don't understand it.
At first we thought that the illness was a simple cold but then the sickness started to get worse, it mutated and suddenly instead of being in a light daze you were coughing. Coughing blood, they had a temperature so high doctors couldn't figure out why they weren't already dead. There was also the for lack of a better word blindness – they could see don't get me wrong but it was like they were baby's they didn't understand what they were seeing they would just stare at things like they were seeing them for the first time.
They couldn't recognise us, their families and loved ones they just seemed confused at the sight of us. We soon realised their minds were gone. At first they just seemed to be in a sort of daze their hearts were still beating in the chests and they still had a pulse but the just weren't there.
However, about a week after this first started happening it was like someone flipped a switch they became aggressive.
They would attack anyone, everyone. No one was safe, the government tried to take control but the sickness had already spread so far that a lot of people were already this new form of monster.
We had all started off moving, trying to get away from the illness we thought it was a proximity issue. We set up camps but people were still getting sick and soon there were few places without the infected they moved those who were sick but it just kept spreading.
That's why I did what I did – I'm going to write this down to try and make sense of it. If you're reading this I guess you may judge me if you want but at least do me the courtesy of reading this until the very end so that you may understand why I did it.
Oh I'm sorry all of this time I've been going on about the 'monsters' and the 'sickness' but hadn't managed to introduce myself. I'm Ali well Alison if you want to get all technical about it and so far I'm still 'Alive' that's what we term it as they are dead but undead. However, they aren't human, not anymore.
Hi all, congrats on reading this far - Please review and let me know what you thought.
