The Second Wave Has Begun

A few reports of trouble are beginning to surface. Steve commented earlier about some rowdy neighbors and some suspicious workplace vandalism, but is either playing it cool, or hasn’t yet put two and two together.

In nearby New Zealand, a supermarket employee named Courtie had a run in with some unfriendly midnight shoppers. Her hindsight can still be of use to those of you who have not yet encountered the carriers: stay away from population centers!

Honestly, I was slow to believe the full scope of last years outbreak, but this year we packed up and headed west. I don’t want to be too specific, but I’m hoping the Blue Ridge Mountains will keep any east coast zombies at bay.

    It’s so petty to say so whilst the zombies are massacring the idiots in the store below me, but I am female, believe it or not. XDDDDDD

    No worries, my friend. I think I can hold out. You guys better watch out though – you’ve only got, what? Four hours? Start barricading, you’re better off that way…
