Journal Entry

So many events had transpired over the course of the last month. Things had started out peacefully, calm, normal. That was until the day the first infected emerged. As that had been the name many had given them. She still remembered that day clearly, which surprised her. She had been working, getting ready to close down the Shoppers where she worked. She remembered the way the blood splattered on the window, the way people flocked into the building at an alarming rate. She couldn't blame them, the mall had many things useful in a post-apocalyptic world. Including the medical supplies in her pharmacy.

It had been useless to attempt theft of the products. And signaling out was... well... mute to say the least. She was surprised many others didn't follow their original plans. First hit up the local ammunition and gun departments, to reload and gather more. Second hit up walmart for water, and clothing... why not just grab their medical supplies there? They would have a bursting amount, far more than her own shoppers could. From there people would have jumped into their cars and driven even further north.

But then it had come to their understanding that these infected, weren't like the typical zombies in thriller movies she used to enjoy watching. Eventually the waves of people looting the mall had calmed down. Some had stayed behind hoping to make the mall a barricade to survive in. Considering there was still food there for them to eat.

That hadn't lasted them long. The food had nearly disappeared over the course of the first month they were there and at that point it just became survival. Work together to survive. She had learned who most of the people in her group were, and who she preferred to keep her distance from. Not everyone can get along with everyone after all. Only a few days ago had bandits found their way into the mall and nearly killed someone. She had been there to help drive them off.

How she had ended up where she currently was, was more of a blur than anything. She had followed her group of mall rat survivors to the bandits, in hopes of finding a weapon that could bring down one of the infected. She had ended up with a cracked rib of all things and now was working at completing tasks in hopes of earning more stability for the group of people she had come to know.
