Chapter three
July 15th 2020
I have managed to gather up everything that can go bad and put it into the freezers. Using the store's bags I managed to get things into small groups so that I wouldn't have to waist too much.
Having all the those pans and the ovens available to me is actually really helpful since there aren't that many options for cooking and raw meat would be bad for my health. Cooking in those ovens is a bit different but after a few fails I've managed to figure some things out. I should actually be able to live off of what I have for a while.
I've discovered that the windows here are shatter proof which is actually rather reasuring but the way I found out still bothers me. I had been by the coffee place making myself a cup when one of the creatures noticed movement and ran for the glass. I was so scared that they would make it through. One day they might make it through. He only hit the glass this time but he hasn't left since he saw me. I don't know what but...I have a bad feeling about him. I just hope he goes away with no incident.

I haven't written in a few days because nothing has really happened since my last entry. Now though...something has...
Someone else has found their way into the store. I have looked everywhere for where they could have gotten in but so far...I've gotten nothing. Nothing is out of place, no windows are broken but I know that someone is here. I hear foot steps during the night while I'm locked in the employee lounge. I doing go out during the night since they are the most active during that time. No matter how many times I yell out for who ever it is to come out, I've begged on more then one time for them to come out of hiding so that I wouldn't be lonely any more. I know that there is someone here but, just hiding from me. I don't know maybe I've gone insane. Maybe I'm hearing things now. I really don't know.

The sounds outside have changed. Like they have become more hungry then they were before. I can hear them pounding on the windows now. I may have to find a way out very soon. The person hiding here will need to leave as well. I have tried to communicate this but, it's not working. The foot steps have become more daring and now I wonder when they'll find me or just simply reveal where they are. I hope that which ever it is it happens soon. The dead are becoming more aggressive. I don't want to die but maybe dieing is preferable to being alone.

Screaming woke me up this morning I thought that it was inside at first but later found out that it was just someone near one of the doors. There were people. Living breathing people that weren't out to eat me. Finding the source of the scream was difficult since it resounded though the empty store. When I did I almost wished that I hadn't. There was a woman that had been killed and was being ripped apart. I was horrified enough to almost miss the other people that were there. Unlocking the door I got them in but, this may not have been a good idea. Some of the are bitten and are showing signs of the sickness. I told them that keeping those people around was not a good idea but they refuse to listen to me. I'm still making plans to get out. The food is starting to go bad meaning that we will need a new place with food to hide. That would make things harder in the long run. Feeding four more people will be a challenge. I should introduce everyone.
First there is Sarah Clemins. I think she's 28. She's a pretty young woman that stands about 5'2” with dark brown hair. Her eyes are a deep brown almost black that shift into a wonderful golden color in the sun. They are always outlined in red though from all her crying. She lost her husband in a fire while running from some of those things. From what I can gather they had been running and found a place to hide in a celler. One of those things knocked over a candle that the owners had left lit when they fled or died. While he was trying to get her out he died trapped under the burning house. She was found by Darran.
Darran Ender is a rather brash young man. He's always making cracks about something. I think it may be his way of dealing with things. He's about 18 or 19 I can't be sure. He lived around where Sarah was hiding so when he saw her crawling out of the burning house he grabbed her and ran. A very brave thing considering the mob that had been after them. He has dirty blond hair and blue eyes that stand out against his sun tanned skin. From what he's told us he used to do a lot of surfing and handyman work. I can believe it from how much muscle he has. If I didn't think he would be bad for my health at the moment I could actually be attracted to him.
The next person is a man in his late 30's early 40's. I can't really tell how old he is but he looks like he's old enough to be our father. His torn up business suit implies that he was someone of important. From the way he talks he went to some business school. I'm not sure if he really worked at half the companies that he implies but it is possible I guess. His name is Peter Swansben. He basically keeps to himself really. For some reason talking with use kids isn't enough for him. He's always complaining about the conditions that we're in. I truly wonder if his head is on right. He was one of the people bitten though. The point that he's always alone scares me. He looks sick a lot of the time which is hard to deal with. He also has a bottle of some type of cough medician with him all the time. I can see the veins on his pale bald head and it makes me shuttering just thinking about what will happen when he turns.
The last person to come though the door is a woman named Cara. She never gave us her last name and no one has really asked. She has pretty green eyes and long brown hair that was rather hard to clean. She was bitten as well. I didn't have the heart to point it out though. She's pregnant. Actually she's rather far along in the pregnancy but something tells me that if she delivered before the sickness took her we would still have to kill the child. Its sad really. I always thought that new life should get the chance to live if there was an opportunity. Maybe the end of the world isn't much of an opportunity but we still have food. Now we just have to wait for the sick baby to be born or Cara to die. She's a nice enough woman but she seemed mildly withdrawn from the rest of us. I don't blame her really. She probably lost the father during this whole mess and didn't want to remember her loss. I feel horrible saying that I'm waiting for her to die.
Author's notes: Thank you all for reviewing. I'm sorry this isn't the longest chapter but I've been dealing with some serious writer's block. I'll do my very best to get moving on this one. One of my problems is that I have to listen to the newer Dawn of the Dead movie in order to think of what to do with this. Again thank you all for reviewing lovies all around. ^_^
