All those people freaking out outside, and not a one really grasps the gravity of this. You don't really know how dangerous these things are until you've faced one that you used to know. I've killed my entire damn family. First my stepdad gets bit and we keep him in the house because he has a fever... next thing you know my little siblings and mother are trying for my throat. If my reflexes weren't what they are... I have an idea now whats going to happen. People are going to misunderstand this epidemic and unless someone in power figures it out soon enough (which I am deeming unlikely at this point, considering that they are suggesting people crowd in the cities like idiots,) then this is gonna spread. I have to leave the city. Now. Attaching my swords to me using some lanyard rope I use for expressly that purpose, and dressing in a hoodie, fashioning a cowl from a thick scarf I own, and some thick jeans and boots with cut soles (for freerunning) I leave the house. Despite the rioting and violence outside I manage to get ahold of some things no one would think of stealing. Those dumb "survival rope" bracelets, I got about ten, A shit ton of off brand batteries, six toy walkie talkies, whetstones (people buy a ton of knives from the cutlery but dont think "hey! I might need to sharpen this one day!") Some vacuum belts (Sturdiest industrial rubber band you can find), Some PVC Pipes about 2 feet long, a hammer (That was the hardest thing to find on the list and all I found was a damned roofing hammer... I hate these things),Some nails, which in as high demand as they are, there were still alot of them in the hardware store, and alot of crap dollar store toys. An odd list for a potential apocalypse, but generally easy to get ahold of and smarter than most would figure. Unscrewing the batteries from the jeep and the hybrid, I load them into the monster GM Acadia in my driveway. Siphoning the gas and loading all the food from my house into the trunk, I take for the less populated nearby valleys of Colorado. Here's hoping I get there without too much incedent.
