Ainsworth, Nebraska, USA- Darnell Hackworth


Today I went to the only dog town left in the US, Houndtown, and met with Darnell Hackworth. Darnell was a normal man when the panic first happened, he stayed with his wife kept to himself and tried to live his life. Why, why would you do that, the world is going to hell and you pretend it isn't happening, why I would grab some guns and have some fun, but he eventually got over this. He explained to me that dogs were used everywhere during the initial panic time, they could smell the infected and point them out. Darnell ran a place like this, a place called Houndtown, where the military and others received trained infected detecting dogs from, a good business I guess. He explained that the dogs where trained as escorts for people, he also said that the handlers of the dogs were the most likely people to commit suicide because if they lost their dog they felt guilty and killed themselves, I don't think I'd kill myself, but I beat myself up a lot for losing my dog, a good friend. Darnell ended our interview by telling me that before all this he hated dogs, I was reasonably surprised because that was his job now, raise and train dogs, but he hated them he was that neighbor that called animal control if your dog was barking in the night, we all know someone like that. Well now that the panic and most of the war is over, Darnell lives with his wife in the town, pretty much completely zombie free, and he takes care of four-legged veterans of the zombie war. He has completely turned over a new leaf, going from a cold dog hating man, to a man that lives with dogs, and takes care of them because he wants to. So this interview went pretty well, I learned what I wanted to. Well until next time.

Abroad The Mauro Altieri- General D'Ambrosia


Today I met with the General D'Ambrosia on a plane flying over Finland. He was an interesting man, as you could tell he was a general during the war,but he really didn't talk to me about the about the war and all it problems, well he sort of he explained that the human race had to go to a total war.Total war was where everyone fought to the death, that is how I understood it, it is where the humans just fight to the end of the world, never giving up. He also explained that it was a losing battle, they, the zombies, could have an unstoppable force at any time they wanted because they never needed water, no ammo, no guns, no nothing, they were powerful.I mean this most have been frightening even for the most hardened war veterans, because no matter what you did once you or your comrades were bitten they were pretty much transformed into a zombie, their numbers could increase just by walking through a town, frightening. Well aside from telling me how the zombies were constantly ahead of them in numbers, he really didn't tell me much else. So all in all this was a decedent interview but I have had way better and not really many worse, but you know how it is you can't win them all. Well until next time.

Ulithi Atoll, federation States of Micronesia- Barati Palshigar


Today I met with Mr. Barati Palshigar. Barati was a very nice man, a translator during his time at a refugee camp. He worked with many people , now see here he did not just translate the language of people he translated everything he was told to, it was his job, if he liked it or not. He worked with another man named Mister Verma. Anyway they both were in South Africa at the time of the war, and many things happened there, not all of them nice, but no matter what happened Barati and Mister Verma did their best, I am not totally sure of that, he told me that he did his best, but did he, many peopel died, many others were raped, I don't think he did. As I was saying he worked with and for the government of Africa. He and Mister Verma worked nonstop try to help as many people as possible, they couldn't save everyone. During this time many people believed that if they were to become infected they'd diea nd go to heaven, and many did that. Other believed that if you were not a virgin you could not become infected, whoever though of that was an idiot, and many people were raped, not a good time to be a young kid. There were also many things that took importance at the time, like this Radio Ubunye, it was a way that the South African government could contact isolated refugee camps. Anyway, that was about all the information I could get out of Mr. Barati there, but it wasn't my worst interview, but it sure wasn't my best. Well better luck next time right, right. Until next time.

Province of Bohemia, The European Union- David Allen Forbes


Today I met with David Allen Forbes, a good man by most means, and as far as I could tell. I met with him in Bohemia, in Europe, he was sitting by himself under a tree writing his second book, anyway he seemed like he was in the zone until I came up to him, then he got serious. David was telling me about the castles, at first I really couldn't care less, but then it all made sense, the castles were what protected so many people during the war. He was at Windsor castle on the British Isles, he shared this castle with many people, all survivors and refugees. As he talked on I could not help from wondering about all the way that a castle would have helped out during the war, you have the vertical brick wall, and a bunch of medieval weapons laying around, that could help a lot, I choose to be stuck there if anything. As he continued the story he mentioned how useful it was to have hand to hand combat weapons, the didn't use ammo and you learned what you were capable of handling, he weapon of choose was the ever glorified claymore, a large double sided sword, in fact during our entire interview he had his weapon right by his side. Wow, I can't believe how hard it must have been the use weapons like that on zombies, you have to aim for the head and with something like that a sword it must be hard. Anyway he lived with many others, and there were many other castles out there that were doing the exact same thing, protecting people for the zombie threat, this concluded our little interview. I think this went very well, he witnessed a lot and there for wasn't the most talkative person on the planet, but what he told me helped me understand how the people who weren't in refugee camps survived, they used things that were hundreds of years old. Well until next time

Parnell Air National Guard Base, Tennessee- Colonel Christina Eliopolis


Today I interviewed a zombie war veteran, Colonel Christina Eliopolis. I met her in her office on an old air force base in Tennessee. She was a nice woman, though she had a temper beyond tempers, but overall nice for what she had gone through. Well she explained that she was an air force pilot during the Yonker's war, or zombie war what ever you like to call it. Anyway she apparently flew amazing fast and powerful planes in every other war she was in, but they discontinued those planes. She was then stuck dropping needed supplies into refugee camps all over the U.S, she did a lot. But it must have sucked, being the top of your class and flying amazing powerful jets, dropping bombs and saving the day then one day they say," We are done" and you are stuck dropping supplies. She made the best of it, until on day making a routine trip something happened and her plane went down in the Louisiana swamps and she lost her crew. Again that must have sucked, you are already angry that you are stuck dropping supplies but then your plane goes down in infected territory, well she made it through. She got help from a Met Fan lady, they apparently listen for downed air crafts and then radio them for help if it is needed. Well she got this one lady and she got her out of the whole ordeal just by yelling at her. Then when she got back to the HQ they said her radio broke in the crash and there was no way she could have used it, this is when you know God is real and that no matter what you did he is there to help you. She finally got back and then she was asked to leave, imagine that you make it through all of that and they call you mentally unfit to handle it. Well she managed to get back into the Air Force and has been there ever since. A good interview over all a lot of detail, a long interview at that, but this lady needed to get her story out, and now she did. Until next time.

Armagh, Ireland- Philip Adler


Today I went to Southern Ireland to the Saint Patrick's Cathedral, where the Pope of the Catholic Church was holding refugee at. While there I ran into a war veteran at the bar in my hotel, he wasn't catholic but his wife was sick and he needed to get her a blessing, it was the first time since the end of the war they had left Germany. ed the interview by Coincidence, maybe I'd like to think of it as a sign from God. Anyway I started the interview by asking him who he was, he was an ex German militant, and a good man at that. He was stationed in Eastern Europe during the war and he was in charge of keeping refugees safe, that is all he told me he did during the war. Anyway while he was there he fought off many zombies, and protected the people there, then his Commanding officer died from a bullet that went through a zombie and struck him in the back. Wow that must have been a crappy way to bite it, your blowing away zombies and then ones spots you and starts moving towards you. You don't see him, one of your squad members does, and shoots him, the bullet goes through the zombies and then strikes you, must have sucked and Philip witnessed this happen to his commanding officer. Back to the interview, anyway while he was leading his squad he got a coded transmission from the HQ telling him to leave the refugees and go to a place that was used in the cold war. He rejected that because he had a "working" conscience, but he went anyway because he would have been charged with treason. So what. So what if you are going to be tried with treason for leaving innocent people behind, if you are getting commands like that, just say no. I wasn't there I realize that but still you have the power. He got to this rally point and met with an old military buddy, e took a bullet for him once, he saw him and let out tears of sorrow thinking about what he had done to those people. He wanted to kill that Commander Lang, the one that gave him the orders, never got the chance. Commander Lang put a bullet through his own head because he was a sissy. I mean come on you tell fighting men that they must abandon there refugees to go to this place to stay hidden, and then the men do it and you put a bullet through your own head, pathetic. Well until next time.

Ice City, Greenland- Ahmed Farahnakian


Today I went up to Greenland to meet with an erstwhile member of the Iranian Air Force Member, Ahmed Farahnakian. Ahmed was a military member during the first outbreak of the war, he went to Greenland because it was a place where people could go and be safe during the end of the war. Anyway Ahmed was in Pakistan during the outbreaks, but Pakistan had its own problems, it was prepared for a nuclear war with its neighbor India, this must not have been good. During this time many thousands of people were crossing the border to find that safe place somewhere on earth and there were so many, and a large majority of them were infected and could start the infection in Pakistan or India. As it were since the towns were isolated and not many people lived there many infections didn't take place, but what if it did, would the whole nuclear war between Pakistan and India been avoided, and how many lives could have been saved in that process. Well some many people were coming through the borders that they had to stop it, there was still a risk that an infection would start in one of those countries, so I think what they did was a little extreme, and they blew up a bridge. Why? Why would you do that there was people on that bridge that wanted to save their families and finally be safe and away from the infection, they never got the chance, Ahmed was one of the ones to drop the bombs on a bridge that would stop 60 or so percent of the migration. So what if people are going country, they only wanted to be safe they wanted to live a life without fear, but I can't stop something that already happen. Well until next time.
