Father Sergei Ryzhkov

It's amazing how people can survive in the shantytown I'm visiting, no water or electricity. The father and I began to talk about the suffering he witnessed, how men had crushed body parts or were infected with the disease. They all were committing suicide to prevent infecting others. The father would go around and give them vodka and bless them or pray of their soul. The father then talked about a revelation he had where suicide was considered a sin, so he began to kill the infected soldiers himself. I think that the father went a little crazy becasue at the end of our interview a boy told him he found someone who may have been hurt/infected. I think the father would have killed me, had I felt sick.

Darnell Hackworth


I meet Darnell at his retirement facility for veteran dogs of the war, his wife and him run it. Here is a picture of his dog. Darnell and I talked about the relationship between a dog and his trainer. We also talked about how every country began to use them to track down the virus. Darnell had seen several dog handlers kill themselves after their dogs had gone into missions and die. Dogs were able to take down zombies by ramming into them and running away. Darnell's dog, Maze, was protected by two guard dogs every mission she went on. The dogs were so smart eventually on a mission where the Army had to kill a building full of zombies, a dog ran across to another building and made the zombies jump out to their deaths. Darnell eventually wanted to petition for "explosive packs"on their backs and if they were suffering in combat, dog trainers could detonate the packs and end the suffering of dogs. They were overruled because a commander figured out that Nazis used dogs to blow up tanks. I think that the commander was being very dumb and I wonder how Maze lived though all her missions?

Todd Waino


I was having dinner with Todd and his family in Colorado. Here is a picture of Todd. We had to do the dishes while his wife put their kids to bed, after that the second interview began. Todd immediately began to describe how there was a major change after Yonkers as to how the Army moved, used weapons and ate. He talked about the updated form of battle armor they now used that had chemical compounds built into it. He talked about how people of all age groups and workplaces/backgrounds were turned into troops. He talked about how he firing squad had orders only to kill Zacks that were near a marker and how eventually a mountain of Zacks piled up. Todd described the efficiency of the recharge team and how they would reload your clips and even take your place in the fire line while you ate or rested. He talked about the "KO's" or shrinks that watched you and made you take breaks "if necessary". Todd talked about how after they won everyone was more positive and happy. I would like to know how the troops lived after that and what they did after hearing the presidents speech?

Seryosha Garcia Alvarez


Today I traveled to Cuba. While there I meet with Senor Alvarez. We meet at the 69th floor of his office when I contacted him he said I "would not be disappointed by the view"and I was not. Here is a picture of him. Senor Alvarez talked about how Cuba was prepared before the Great Panic because of how informed their leader, Fidel Castro was. Fidel was informed because there were so many doctors in the area when the first out break occurred he knew what happened in a few weeks. Senor Alvarez described how the Quarantine Resettlement program worked. Eventually the housing areas or settlements were overcrowded, so jobs were made and the pay would let people take relatives out of the settlements and make them buy their own homes. Senor Alvarez began to describe how Cuba turned into an international power house and symbol of hope. Because of all the political change, Fidel ended up saying he was the reason for change and good fortune.

David Allen Forbes


Today I traveled to The Province of Bohemia in the European Union. While I was there I met with David Allen Forbes, an Englishmen. Here is a picture of him. The first thing David began to talk about were the failures and victories of battles all over the world like Machu Picchu and their internal outbreak. After that David talked about how castles were important during the plague years. David described the castles as "ruins" before they were redone by people who needed protection. After they were rebuilt he described how their glory had been brought back. David then talked about how people would defend castles during summer and in the winter go and raid villages for food during the winter, when all the zombies were frozen. I would like to know what weapons the people used to protect themselves?

Colonel Christina Eliopolis


Today I traveled to Tennessee. Colonel Christina is a raptor FA-22 pilot. Here is a picture of her. We immediately began to talk about how Yonkers was a failure, because of the lack of sophisticated weaponry (that could kill zombies.) She then talked about her daring close call with zombies when her plane went down due to "technical"difficulties. When she landed Christina figured out she was in the boonies and was trapped in what looked like swamp land. Christina quickly pulled out her radio and tried to find some frequencies. She told me about how she was talking to a women named "Mets" and how the lady had given her the exact instructions on where to go and how to survive. While going to an extraction point Christina broke her ankle and almost killed herself. When she was rescued, she realized that there was no search and rescue but there was a patrol that sends supplies in the area. Psychiatrists analyzed her after and said that she had suffered from stress and imagined everything, about "Mets" Christina states that to this day there is a skywatcher named "Mets"somewhere in the boonies although a cabin was never found.

Roy Elliot


I meet Roy in Malibu California. Here is a picture of Roy. When we started the interview he immediately began to talk about ADS, or Asymptomatic Demise Syndrome. Roy explained how ADS killed more people than disease, hunger and in some cases even the zombies themselves. Roy the went in on how he went to the Army and proposed that they make some motivational programs or videos to help people who got ADS. He then talked about how the people at Celremont protected themselves. He went on to talk about the movie The Hero City and The Battle of Avalon. Roy then talked about his movie the Fire of the Gods, he also talked about Zeus and MTHEL (the special weapons in his movie). Overall the interview with Roy was very pleasant and interesting.

Philip Adler

Today, I meet with Phillip Adler in Ireland. He begins to talk about how Hamburg was heavily infested. He had a command post held up in a building. They had orders not to move any of the civilians and worst of all he said that unit were being withdrawn to a strange coordinates every day. He finally got orders to move out and leave the civilians behind. When Phillip arrived at his rally point he intend on killing General Lang because of all the carnage he'd seen. Too bad Lang had already shot himself in the head.

Todd Wainio



Today I traveled from Greenland to Denver Colorado. At the train station in Denver I meet with a man named Todd Wainio. Todd was a rugged old man who had seen his share of war. We meet and he began to smoke some 'Q's ( a local cigarette). Todd told me about his platoon fighting at Yonkers. He described what his fighting suit looked like and how it protected him from the infected. Todd told me how people were evacuated from New York and Yonkers and sent North. Apparently during the fight, rockets made to destroy humans were used and didn't have an effect on the zombies, or Zach as Todd called them. During the fight zombies got behind the front line and killed many troops. The media saw this and it caused the Great Panic in the U.S. Todd was rescued by his comrades and evacuated by chopper.

Sharon and Doctor Kelner

Today I traveled from India to Kansas. It was very long flight. When i got to Topeka Kansas, I meet with Sharon and her case worker Doctor Kelner. Sharon has the body of a prewar model but the mind of a five year old. She was able to tell the graphic account of how her whole town had to take refugee in a gymnasium or auditorium. When the zombies began to poor into the room, Sharon was able to mimic every detail of what people were yelling and what the zombies were doing. Throughout the interview Sharon would always refer to what her mother said and did. She would also ask Doctor Kelner if she could refer to something in her account. I thought her mother had gone crazy and had attempted to kill Sharon, but the pastors wife saved Sharon and helped her escape the zombies.

Jacob Nyathi


Today, i traveled from Brazil to the West indies. When I arrived in the indies I meet with Jacob Nyathi. Here's a picture of him. Jacob was a ship captain of the IS Imfingo. The ship uses powerful fuel cell technology to power itself. Usually the government is the only ones with this, but Nyathi's is privately run. Jacob started off by talking about his encounter with the living dead. He had been working his shift at T.G.I Fridays when all of a sudden, he heard multiple gunshots. Jacob ran for cover behind a barbershop. Jacob knew something was wrong when people came running from the direction his house was in screaming "they are coming, run for your lives". Jacob had decided to go save his mother and two sisters. He had a close encounter with a zombie, that he had to beat with a frying pan. Jacob had to turn back but he found a family hiding in a shack. He kept asking the family to come with him but the mother had gone crazy and just wanted to keep her children safe. Jacob still has nightmares about the family and what happened to this day.

Nury Televaldi


Yesterday was a tough day. I had to travel from China to Tibet and it was really hard to get around because China's infrastructure is horrible. Once I arrived in Tibet I meet Nury at a local cafe. It was very crowded which surprised me because in most areas out of Europe and the U.S. there were not that many people. I asked Nury about his days as a smuggler, it was really hard to get him to talk about his past. For some reason i kept thinking he was suffering form PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Nury showed me a picture of him in his old days. I asked Nury about his smuggaling and he would say that if the cash was good, he would do it. I asked him what it was like to know that he may have caused the worldwide outbreak. He said he didnt know he was transporting the virus at the time. I asked him where he sent a business man. Looks like I'm headed to Krygyzstan.
