Diaries of the Damned Launch

 Alex Laybourne rose from his coffin today to release:

The dead have risen and a desperate struggle for power has begun. The military are evacuating all survivors in passenger planes. With their destination unknown, one group of survivors led by a journalist named Paul Larkin, decide to share their experiences with the hope that when combined, their stories will reveal the answers that the government had not been willing to give themselves.

Nine survivors banded together, yet none of them realized, as they stood to tell their tales that they stood on the brink of discovering a conspiracy the likes of which the world has never seen.

Zombie Preparedness Field Guide

Is It Too Early To Prepare?

2012 is upon us and seriously this year couldn't get any stranger . . .

Of course it could.  Walking though the newly opened Cabella's in Wichita, I found the following:

With kids in tow, begging for pretzels; I wondered how ready is Fort Johnson for the inevitable fall of mankind due to the walking dead?  Now being an evil genius and all, I've dabbled here and there with questionable unethical scientific practices.  Don't act like this is new news, and don't think I'm the only one.  Sunspots are occurring with frighting speed, and there is no telling what North Korea is doing these days.  The zombie epidemic could happen by next week.

So get prepared.  The Centers for Disease Control released a Zombie Survival Kit http://www.bt.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp

The CDC guidelines are good for any emergency.  Zombies, Mecha-Godzilla, Legion of Doom . . .

• Water (1 gallon per person per day)
• Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)
• Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)
• Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)
• Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)
• Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)
• Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
• First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane)

Usually a three day supply is all you need, unless you want to really survive the new dystopian wasteland, then move in close proximity to an easily fortified Wal-Mart.  

If a family member gets bit, isolate and quarantine.  It will be just a matter of time before they too are wanting brains.  

Keep safe, go mobile only if you have to, contact me if you need a God-King for your new society and remember body shots only slow them down.

When I Realized the Mayans Were Wrong

From a writer's prompt from a Diamond in the Dark blog: http://www.akmarshall.com/.

He blinked and looked around. “What the hell is up with the birds?” he wondered.

The sidewalk was littered with hundreds of bird carcasses as their breathern wheeled and squawked above.  Some terrified birds flapped as the others bombed them.  The others, the ruffled and damaged looking birds refused to pull up, and plummeted into cement. 

Travis Johansson sought the cover of a gas station’s metal awning as the hail of bird debris rained down.  The bird screams, like a caw of a crow, drooled on.  Some birds escaped, flying in different directions away from the deadly flock.  Others after being attacked, would lose coordination, attack the others, and fall.

Travis stared at the sky, peeking out to fall back when one fell to close.  It wasn’t until he felt something peaking at his shoe, that he had the realization.

This zombie apocalypse didn’t start with people.

As my split second attention span moves into storm chasing (shameless plug: http://www.ruminationsofthunder.com/ ) I'll leave the more important things to the professionals.
