Zombie Survival : Day 3

I woke up this morning after having a disturbing dream involving Cap'n Skipper... I won't go into details, but suffice to say I was already scared when I woke up. So seeing the supposedly deceased Royston standing over me made me let out a sound not unlike the sound you hear when cats have sex.


Royston explained to me that the building next door was a bed shop, and he'd managed to land on a rather springy bed. What we hadn't seen due to running towards the chemists and leaving royston for dead was that when the zombies flocked into the bed shop, Royston was able to use his acrobatic abilities to use the bed as a trampoline and vaulted out of the hole in the roof and out of reach of the zombies. He then proceeded rooftop to rooftop till he got to the Chemists, then tried to get in the front door, but we'd already barricaded it. He had to climb back to the roof and break through the bamboo ceiling, using the only thing he had handy... his rubiks cube.

Milli expressed her worries for Pope, and we decided to get back to Hotel Lollypop as soon as possible. Luckily, it was the crack of dawn (sorry Dawn) and all the zombies were no where to be seen, maybe they were sleeping... I wonder what zombies do do in their spare time, when they're not eating people... I need to explore this more I think...

Luck was on our side, as Hotel Lollypop was also free of zombies, we stepped over the ex's corpse and went back to room 333... I was worried as to what we would find on the other side of this door. However, upon opening the door we saw that everything was alright. Pope was sitting at the end of the bed, with Polly seeing to her (not like that!) and The Braymachine was staring out the window.

We gave Polly all the medicine we had rounded up, and he began to apply it to Pope's arm, where the bite wound wouldn't stop bleeding. "What's up with the Braymachine?" I asked Polly. Polly then explained that the Braymachine's chosen football team (Sky Lose as they're known) were playing today and due to Braymachine's useless PDA, he couldn't watch it...
Pope was looking rough, her skin was slightly translucent and her eyes were puffed up, usually Pope scrubs up quite well and as I said in the prelude, she's a glamourous lady... but not when infected with Zombie Virus (tm) "I think she needs to see a doctor" Polly told us, but to be fair we were all thinking the same thing... well Braymachine was thinking about the football, Pope was probably too ill/dying to think of anything but her bite and Polly probably was thinking we should get Pope to a hospital... I was thinking of killing her, but I usually get those thoughts about people after spending over a day with them.
I decided we should probably try and find any survivors, and some more medical supplies as the chemists only turned up some paracetamol, condoms, some plasters and some lollypops that Milli was handing out to everyone. So using my knowledge of the island, but trying not to let on that I knew where the hospital on the island was, I suggested heading inland...
to be continued...

Zombie Survival : Day 2 cont...

END OF DAY 2

Well what a perfect end to a perfect evening, myself and milli are hauled up in the chemist, Royston is probably dead or worse...

After leaving the relative saftey of the Bamboo Barricaded room 333, we made our way down the stairs and into the lobby. This is when Royston and Milli learnt what we were up against, as my ex-girlfriend was coming towards us, and she was hungry, but luckily she was also slow as she was missing both legs. Royston did the only thing he thought would help, and ran back up the stairs shouting "screw you guys". So it was up to me and Milli to fell the fiend.

"What should we do?" I asked her, knowing full well that destroying the brain would be the only way to kill it. Milli mused for a moment as the thing pulled itself closer, then began to scream. It's up to me then... So I skillfully jumped over the zombie torso, slipping as I landed on the blood soaked bamboo floor but managed to steady myself with a mop that propped up against the wall. Grabbing the mop I proceed to bludgeon the ex's head in till it popped, blood splattering all over Milli as she screamed.

I managed to coax Royston downstairs and Milli told us that the Chemists was about three buildings down. Only problem was, Milli's screaming had worked the zombies into a frenzy, and the bamboo lobby door didn't seem to be able to hold them much longer. Royston, had an idea though, he theorised that we could jump out the 2nd floor windows and land on the roof of the neighbouring building, then jump roof to roof till we got to the chemists. Wow, I thought, what a brilliant yet foolhardy plan, let's do it!

We took the keys to a 2nd floor room, and got to the balcony windows, sure enough the neighbouring shop's roof was a stones throw away. Milli asked the only sensible question "Who's first?" But without a second thought Royston pushed us out the way and said just before he leapt "Last one there's a rotten egg!"

It was a fantastic moment seeing him soar through the air, land on the roof of the building next door, and the fall through the bamboo roof into the building. "I'm... I'm okay!" He shouted up at us. We weren't the only people to notice Royston's leap, all the zombie's proceeded to turn away from Hotel Lollypop, and instead poured into the building Royston had jumped into, giving us the needed distraction to run to the chemists for the ailing (and probably undead) Pope.

Milli and I shot out of the Bamboo lobby and ran down the high street, turning round a corner and a couple of doors later we were at the chemists, I closed the door behind me and pulled a stack of shelves up against the door to barricade it. Milli turned to me and said "What drugs should we get?"
I was flabberghasted... I had no idea what "medicine" Polly had wanted us to bring back. The only thing I remember from first aid training was to call an ambulance after you put them in the recovery position. I told her to grab as much as she could, then there was a noise at the door, banging harder and harder. The zombies had found us, so Milli and I ran to the back room and locked ourselves in. That's where we are now at the end of Day 2, hopefully Royston found some saftey before being devoured, and hopefully Pope hasn't died, comeback and eaten everyone else...

On reflection this isn't a true zombie survival situation as I'm well aware of certain elements, like important locations on this island, the lab it all started in for instance. Am I the villain of this piece? Well... I have killed an entire island of innocents, probably indirectly two good friends and edangered the rest of them to a fate worse than death. All in the name of curiosity.

Zombie Survival - Day One

Day One

It's been about a week since my scientists unleashed the Zombie Virus(tm) on the unsuspecting Island of Nefarius. So there should be a moderate population of zombies, unless they've all eaten themselves or the locals managed to fend them off.
The Braymachine used his business skills to hire a boat to take us to the island, as most of the locals at the port will not take us to Nefarius as it's "cursed"... always a good sign that. Pope has already pulled a couple of sailors, but Milli managed to drag her out of the Sailor heavy bar before she was covered in Sea-men.
The boat captain was a grizzled man who called himself Cap'n Skipper. If you can imagine Captain Haddock from TinTin... well he looked nothing like him, but he did have a beard, which in my mind made him reliable.
After casting off, Polly turned to me and stated "I've got a bad feeling about this" before resigning to reading some war poetry.

The journey to the island will take us the rest of the day, first thing in the morning we should arrive at Port Venture, a little like Porta Ventura I'd imagine, but with more zombies.

Zombie Survival - Prelude

"LET THE GREAT EXPERIMENT BEGIN" - Dr. Tobias Funke

After investing wisely with the large sponsorship Wikipedia and google are paying me to mention them in every conversation I have nowerdays, I have now got my own Island in the med... and thanks to my advanced knowledge of chemistry, I have been able to infect the residence of the island with a zombie virus I call... um... zombie virus. {original}

Now I am travelling on a boat to the island, with my friends to see if I (and who of my friends) can survive the impending zombie apocalypse... my friends are unware of whats on the island and think we're going for a quick get-away.

Over the next few days... if I survive, I will be updating you with news of our survival. Here are the brave souls (fools) who are accompanying me.

Royston - He's mid 20's and is as sarcastic as he is streetwise. Growing up in a rough part of the town I call Rugby, has hardened his outer-shell but will it be enough to stop zombie teeth chewing on his sensitive insides?

Pope - Not religious as all, she's like a bike... by that I mean she's reliable... not that she's... well... She's in her early 20's and as glamarous as can be. She's says it like she see's it and has a softer underbelly like an armadillo... not like an armadillo's underbelly, but her underbelly is softer than her... oh come on, you must understand that, do I have to explain everything?!?!? {sigh}

Polly - Not a woman, but a man. Polly has brought his collection of war poetry with him, he's a hippy of the 00's. Wouldn't hurt a fly, and is more anti-capatalist then Castro's right nut. He's mid 20's but is knicknamed Grandad for his old ways.

Braymachine - Larger than life... quite literally, this jolly (large) guy is an IT whizz kid. He's the Jabba the hutt of the IT world. He's happyily married and just celebrated his 26th birthday, so what better time to be attacked mercilessly by the undead?

Milli - Another 20 something, who's come along for the ride. I told her we were going on a fact finding mission to Alderan, she falls for it everytime. Milli is a petite scottish lady who lives in Ireland. She has great empathy for people/animals/plants and runs mainly on candyfloss and ribena.

So, over the next few days we shall see... who survives... hopefully I will or you wont know the end!! Stay tuned true believers!
