Tape It or Die: Fortune Edition

Author's note: This is going to be different than the rest of my chapters, as most of this story is going to be written as separate blog entries by these people.

I must add that I started this not long after I wrote and submitted "Andy's Flashbacks," but I had been focused on my personal life and other stories.

Unexpected visitor in our lair

By Left Hand Lance (written on Sept. 27, 2010)

These past few days have been crazy for us. First we see a big zombie outbreak and then we got lucky to find a basement in the back of KokoNutz Sports Town. Gretchen, Johnny, Wallace and I thought we were in a safe area…until this guy showed up.

We all stood around doing our thing and then all of a sudden, this guy came in asking me some questions about our website and how he had no idea about our cause. What's crazy is that I could have sworn that the door to the store was locked before this guy came in. He even tried to get us to go with him, talking about a safe house, only to see that we have our own lair and we can handle ourselves.

For some odd reason, this guy came prepared to do business with us, and Wallace helped him out, made a weapon, doing what he does best.

After the guy left, I asked everyone else who left the door unlocked. Everybody said, "Not me." Do you think maybe I could have been irresponsible here? A zombie could have come in and tried eating us. No matter. We know how to take zombies.

Zombrex: Scam or not?

By Johnny Pipes (written on Sept. 26, 2010)

Do you feel that this drug is a scam by Phenotrans? Or do you think that really does help people not turn into zombies? Seeing as how Phenotrans charges a lot of money for this, it's obvious that they care only about making a profit, not to try coming up with a cure for the infected. The worst part about this is that it only works for 24 hours. It does not help that the drug costs too much and that they don't make bottles of the chemicals to put into the syringe before injection.

You do whatever it takes to survive, but even I think this is a bullshit drug.

How to make a weapon out of random items

By Wallace Hertzog (Written on Sept. 26, 2010)

In a zombie outbreak, it's always best to know different forms of survival, one of which being in a jam to use to help defend yourself. However, weapons such as guns or knives may not often be available when necessary. So what can someone do? They improvise. Whether it's using what is around you, or even better: Making a weapon out of random items.

There are various items to make weapons out of. Here are a few weapons and how to make them.

DEFILER

Step 1: Get a sledgehammer and a fire axe.

Step 2: Break off the end of the fire axe.

Step 3: Use duct tape to stick tip of fire axe on the end of sledgehammer.

WEED TENDONIZER

Step 1: Take a weed whacker and a few knives.

Step 2: Stick knives to the ends of the weed whacker.

Step 3: Turn on weed tendonizer and go to town on those zombies!

If you have any suggestions, shoot me a comment below. Thanks.

I met those nerds again!

By Gretchen Peregrine (Written on Sept. 28, 2010)

It was not easy coming across a group of nerds in the South Plaza earlier, when they tried giving me their business cards, as well tried flirting with me in their own weird way. However, I came across those same guys after having been brought to this new lair, where a lot of people were rescued. I am not surprised to see to a lot of stragglers were still living after having seen the amount of zombies out there. But the fact that I saw the same four nerds from earlier was really baffling, not to mention that a half-naked woman was all over one of them. Hell, they have a fifth member of their crew now, and I saw him try to hit on me, too.

Why must I be subjected to these types of guys? Difference between their new member and the other guys is that he seemed normal in contrast to them. I mean, I have seen a guy wear a bonnet and dress like a Japanese schoolgirl either. Even weirder is how one of them is with some girl in her underwear. Now I am not sure why she is not wearing any clothes, but I could only guess that the guy needed some new underwear after being near a woman like that. I mean, the guy was not bad looking, and this girl is drop-dead gorgeous, but from what I saw earlier, he had no way of knowing how to talk to women. Of course, I even saw some other half-naked women with those guys, one of whom was a showgirl. I could not imagine how those guys were when they first saw them. They tried flirting with me before with their inappropriate comments, I could only picture them drooling over those women. Yet, I see that showgirl somehow hanging out with them. It just seems a bit off. I don't mean judge those types of guys because even the other guys I hang with can be a bit nerdy, but these guys are much dorkier than Lance, Wallace, Johnny.

Of course, they saw me and they immediately recognized me. They asked me if I wanted to play their game with them. I am like "HELL NO!" Not after what they did before. It's a wonder how these guys have some women around them now, hot women to be exact.

I feel like such an awful person right now, but those guys were just odd when I saw them.

Could This Be The End?

By Johnny Pipes (Written on Sept. 28, 2010)

These past few days in Fortune City have been crazy. First we evade a zombie outbreak by finding a room in a sporting goods shop in a mall. The next thing that happens is that Wallace messes up our bunker and accidentally setting it on fire, leaving us to go and fight off some zombies. Somehow, we were saved by that one guy who invaded our bunker, and we found another place to go to. Lucky for us, I got my laptop out of there and I was able to find a place to get a Wi-Fi setup and to plug it on to do this report.

Is it inevitable that we will all die? The US military failed at trying to save people from the outbreak, and there is no way of getting out of this alive considering there may be another way to end this entire outbreak once and for all: bombing this entire place. If that happens, then this may be our final article. If that's the case, then this may be the end.

From what I saw in here, there are a lot of survivors who managed to live through all this mess. I see a couple of soldiers who surprisingly got out of the outbreak in one piece. I see an EMT who seems like he had helped a lot of people here. I even noticed a tiger in the surveillance room. It's amazing how a lot of people managed to live through all of this. I even saw Angel Lust here and Wallace is a big fan of theirs. He does not know this yet. I want to surprise him with this.

That guy Chuck Greene has been quite a help to us, and to all of the other survivors here. He'll find a way to help get all of us out of this mess. If we live through this, then I will follow up on this entry. Here is hoping we get out of this.
