Day 1, March 31st, 2010

I am Survivor1, that's not my real name, but for my purposes my real name is not pertinent. Last night the unthinkable happened, but I was prepared. I live in San Jose, CA and last night the zombie apocalypse hit like a tornado in a trailer park. The power still works, and as long as I have power I have internet, so I'll make this my source of seeking other survivors. I'm not the only man alive in this town, and I know my friends were ready for this as well. I don't know how it happened, but as long as I can I'll give information here on what's going on. I have a few basic rules I follow:

1. Travel during the day. Better visibility can keep you alive a lot longer.

2. Run and hide. Zombies may never tire, and they will always be hungry; screw your kill count, I'm a survivor not a hunter.

3. Zombies are the second greatest threat. The other survivors are much more dangerous, and as time goes on I may have to bump food and lack of water up on the list as well.

4. Safety in numbers you know. If it hasn't reached you yet then plan with the people you know, survivors won't trust you now if they didn't trust you before. Make your own plans.

I won't tell you where I'm staying because I honestly don't want you to find me. If you are a survivor in this apocalypse, if you have found safe ground, and you can take on more people then you are lucky.

Keep moving. Stay alive.
