Okay so I feel like a jerk! Sorry I didn't update sooner. New job, lack of internet and other things got in the way. I will be updating weekly hopefully! It will be getting interesting shortly, so stick around.

Entry 2

You know what the worse thing is about the end of the world?

You still have to work.

Or at least some of us have to.

Or maybe it's just me. I really don't know how many people … well living, breathing people… are left out here. Or even the world.

This is my third day here at the hospital and I made it my "job" to take care of Rick till he wakes.

If he ever wakes.

"Way to sound morbid…." Amber muttered to herself.

He's lucky I was the one to break in and not those monsters outside. Not that anyone could be considered lucky in this day and age. I'm using what little knowledge I've retained from nursing school and from my job I had at the retirement home. So I know how to treat and care for him, but I have no clue how to wake him. I can tell that the bandage covering his side is from a wound but definitely not a bite… he'd be… turned by now. He's a fighter, so I hope he'll win the battle against whatever it is that is keeping him from waking.

Earlier, before I clocked my 'work hours,' I did my daily workout. When there's no Netflix, no TV, no video games, you have to do something to keep both your body and mind healthy. Thus the workouts.

Every time that I can or have the means to I find a way to workout. I run, do pushups, do sit-ups, mainly whatever I can find to do I will do. This might seem silly to some but I'll do anything in order to keep as much distance between myself and them. Plus it will keep my mind off the questions that are always plaguing my brain. What caused this? Why here? Why now? Are there others out there? Is this happening everywhere? No one knows what caused this whole thing. It happened all of a sudden, which leaves all these questions unanswered and open-ended. Anything or anyone could've caused it. It could be a virus, it could be the government, or even the end of days if you believe in God.

First there were the news reports of insane people attacking others in broad daylight. No cause. No reason. Then there were numerous cases of people going to the ER complaining of high fevers, headaches, chills, and stomach pains. With more reports of sicknesses there came even more reports of attacks and so on. It got to the point where the new reporters were telling us to stay calm and inside, don't try to contact anyone or go to the store or even go to work. Then there was no news, just an annoying beeping sound with a standard warning screen on all the channels. And then even that cut out… then there was no radio and the phone wouldn't work. And then the power went out.

There was only a few of us left in the dorms when the power went out. Most of them decided to stay, but I had a feeling in my gut that this meant it was time to leave. At first I was going to try to get home to see if my parents were still alive, but lack of a vehicle caused me to make other choices. I was doing fine until I got stupid and ran into a group of those things. I was able to outrun them and find this place. Managed to run up the stairs and luckily I was small enough to slip through the chained doors to this floor. There were some dead bodies here, not turned, just corpses with the majority of their flesh ripped and shredded.

Amber put down her pen when she heard some movement and noises coming from Rick's room.

"Shane?"

Amber heard more rustling and then a loud thud. She rushed over to the room to see Rick flaying on the ground, looking for something to grab onto. Amber went over to Rick and grabbed him off the cold floor.

"Where am I? ... Is... Is Lori here?" Rick began asking questions a mile a minute. He was still out of it and trying to get his bearings.

"No, no one is here right now. You're in the hospital. I think you were shot or stabbed... I really don't know why you are here or what's going on."

"Can you get the nurse to call my wife? Just tell her to bring Carl. I just need her here now. Please."

Amber bit her lip, trying to figure out how to explain to this man that the world that he knew was gone.
