Nightmare senario

The man died last night. Well, kind of. What I feared was true. He died shortly after everyone came down from the roof. I had to keep a couple of them out of the room; they thought they could save him. They watched and saw what I know was about to happen.

Shortly after he stopped breathing, he sat up. He was dead, but he sat up! Then the moaning started. It was terrifying and the most horrific thing that I've ever seen. I don't know how many fainted or screamed, but I do know that they understood what had just happened outside. And we were all scarred.

I vaguely heard someone ask what we do now. No one offered up an answer, so I spoke up. We had to kill it, and we had to kill it immediately. We moved everyone back from the gun room and two loaded rifles. When everyone was in place, Brad and I opened the doors to let it out. The two shooters had been instructed to aim at its head, and the thing went down as soon as the doors were open.

We've now organized a security detail for constant surveillance. Ten people were on constant watch from the room, rotated out every four hours. There was concern that the electricity would not last, so Brad got started modifying some of the the portable generators so that they could be run by using a stationary bike system. I had read in "The Zombie Survival Guide" that gunfire brings more creatures around, so I instituted training sessions to improve peoples skills with hunting bows and crossbows. Since the creatures would be in close proximity to the building, we should be able to quietly take them out from the rooftop with hunting bows.

The most despised job was policing up the bodies. Everyone was instructed to wear water-proof rain gear, gloves, and masks to prevent any possible contamination. The bodies were moved to the middle of the parking lot and set on fire to help prevent any biohazard contamination of our building. People will only be asked to do this task no more than once a week. It is horrible and stressful work, dealing with possible contamination and the threat of more creatures showing up. Each rooftop guard is given an emergency whistle in order to warn of an approaching creature.

I hope that these measures will prevent any further contamination of this complex and keep us safe. Everyone has been issued hearing protection and instructed to use them when they are not on duty. I read that the sound of these creatures can drive a person mad. We have too many other problems to deal with from the outside. We don't need a problem inside.

If anyone is out there, please send help. Information is vital. Good luck and stay safe wherever you are.
