Chapter One
July 9th 2020
Hello there. My name is Jason Kaliger. I'm 19 and will be turning 20 this fall. I am about 5”5' and have shiny black hair with green eyes. I live down in Illinois just outside Chicago. I got this journal a year back from a friend to write my thoughts down in. I haven't picked it up since then but now I feel that I must.
The world has come to and end as we know it.
Some would think this has to be some kind of joke right there is no such thing as the walking dead. Well they're wrong. I have seen them. Hell all I have to do is look out the window and there are hundreds roaming around out there. I don't know how it happened really, I was asleep during the worse of it. This is what I do know though. No one is safe.
I woke up late this after noon hearing a thumping at my apartment door. Living alone in a new apartment was spooky at first but I started to get used to it as I got used to all the people living in the building with me. Any sounds from my own door always scared me though. I could never explain why that was. Getting out of bed I dragged my self over to the door and looked out. The man at my door looked odd so I decided to just turn around and go back to bed. I am a bartender so I tend to have a bit more of a nocturnal internal alarm. I never got back to sleep though. I heard pounding across the hall on a Miss.Celton's door. The scream that she made will haunt my dreams for the rest of my life. It didn't stop though. It just kept going. I scampered out of bed and looked out the peep hole in my door and just stared in shock as I watched the man that had pounded on my door feast from her stomach. When the screaming stopped her body did not. People went out into the halls to investigate and the man turned on them. I couldn't stop watching as he ran to people biting at them like a crazed cantabile that was starved for flesh. I guess that's what they are really. A lot of people died. After a while I just stepped away from the peep hole and locked myself in the bathroom. That was a cowardly thing to do but, I wasn't sure what to do and I guess....I was still a bit stunned from what was going on. The screaming of the dead and the dieing went on for hours before silence feel on the building. I guess all those that were unfortunate enough to be eaten were finally dead and those eating them were satisfied with the feast they had before them.
Once the screams had stopped for a time I left my bathroom feeling shaky and in shock for the most part. Going to the door I looked out the peep hole turning away to gag from all the blood and guts I saw out there. Blood always made me feel sick, seeing so much of it made me feel even worse then the typical paper cut. Some of them were walking around aimlessly while others were eating the dead. I pulled away feeling the burning of tears in my eyes. I had started to like these people and now they were all gone. After that I walked around my apartment for a time before figuring that I needed to get out. I couldn't stay here. They could come through the door any moment now or I could starve. I had to do something. So I did the only thing I could think of. I started gathering up everything and putting it into the bags that I had laying around the house. I packed up two bags. One with clothes and all the essentials for hygiene along with a bag full of food. This journal found its way in to the food bag since there was so little in my house to begin with. Once I was sure that I had everything I headed out. Not into the hall way. No no...I would be dead if I did that. No I went out the fire escape that was just out my window. It lead down into an ally way that seemed to be empty. I hiked up both packs and ventured down glancing into every window as I passed. A few I had to crawl past so the creatures inside didn't see me but nothing came after me just then. I had smooth sailing after that with every thing in a shambles. Not knowing where I was going slowed me down a bit but I managed. Figuring that the best place to be would be near any food I headed for the closest food market on foot. It was hard and I had to run a few times to get away from those damn things. I managed though. That's actually where I am right now. This must have started before anything opened because I am the only one in here. A friend of mine used to work here so I knew a few tricks to get. He had locked the keys inside more then once and I had to crawl in for him since I was the only one that would fit. It was a funny memory to think of as I crawled in through a vent. It was a rather odd thing to find but they didn't have the building made for them so they couldn't really explain it.
After that is was easy to slip around. The only room that was ever locked there was the safe room and that was something that I simply was not interested in. The employee lunch room was where I came in and planned to base at until I was sure the place was clear. Running around the entire store for an hour I was sure no one was here. I closed things up making sure that nothing would be able to get in after the fact either. The back rooms scared me but there was nothing that I could really do about them except block them off with heavy objects and move them when I needed to. The power was still on which was a blessing because that meant that all the meat and vegies would stay good longer. Even though it was a good thing to know I would have food I'm still not happy knowing that so much of it would go to waist on just me.
Author's notes: I'm still note entirely sure what I'm doing with this but this is the start I think I may be doing more tomorrow but I'm not sure. Hope you like it. Tell me if you I like to hear from people.
