Ruby Sector, LA
72 degrees indoors
WAKING UP isn't hard when you just slept for 12 hours. I check my clock.
"Dammit." I murmur. I didn't intend to sleep this late, but last night was hell on earth.
First of all, Anden called yet another emergency banquet here in LA. I had to literally rush to where he though would be a good pace to have it- The old Trial Stadium, and received the news.
"Another symptom of the colonies new plague is... becoming a zombie"
And that was how what you are about to read... started.

Illinois, Colonies
Who knows where the fuck we are
Alexander POV
I REMEMBER life before the plague struck this town. It was lively, powerful, and strong. Everyone bustled about, and we all had friends. Then, the plague came. And the town was torn in two, humans, and ... zombies. But we aren't going to harm you! we are decent! but... shit. No one understood. So we had to run. Me, Maria, Thomas, James R., James M., Charles, Samuel, John A., George King the 3rd, and all of our parents. There are a good 30 people, maybe more, running from those fortunate? I don't know at this point, enough to be human. WE CANT HELP IT WE NEED TO EAT YOU! Here is how it works. If we share bodily fluid- yes like a fucking STD- you go through the plague. FUCK YOU! In one week, you sre a zombie. But if we try to eat, you, well, it depends. Some people have flat-out FUCKING SURVIVED! Some people become a zombie, and some people die.
We all curse the Republic every day. They started it. The dead elector primo and his shit! His son is trying, and FAILING MISERABLY, to solve this. They claim that there was some cure, but this dead kid told them not to use it. FUCK! It doesn't matter. Once you're a zombie, your a zombie. Then why, why does this kid in this camp- some 1000 miles from my town, seem so humanly hot?
John POV
Camp in Springfield Illionois
God help us all
W HAD to kill them. I felt bad, we just killed 500 or so zombies, and we are so, so tired. We are eating in the tent. I have Lafayette, Hercules, Eliza, Angelica, Peggy, and Aaron left. William Van Ness, Nathaniel Pendelton, Theodosia Bartow, and Phillip Schuyler- joined the zombies today. SHIT SHIT SHIT! Little do we know, they are fucking innocent. But we are still so stupid.
"I miss my father!" Peggy had been crying for a long time now. I felt SO BAD. I mean, I straight up hated my dad, but... damn.
"I know, Peggy. I miss dad too." Eliza sat down by Peggy. Angelica was distracting herself by cooking dinner tonight.
I need a break. I take a walk. And what I just started.. well, FUCK!
