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.
