Short nap

Well, even though its ice cold outside and anything not living is a zombie-sicle, i still dint sleep much. i find myself in a 12 gour cycle of sleep four hours until the fire dies down and then awake for seven or eight hours to stoke the fire and stare at the walls. thusly, onward with our story.

Even before the outbreak i had an impressive collection of weapons. i shot in various sports including trap, steel silhouette and IDPA.

God i wonder if anyone even remembers what IDPA is anymore.

Anyway i had plenty of firepower. i always was a "plan ahead" type of guy so i had food stock on hand, camping gear etc. What i wasnt prepared for however was a rampaging horde of flesh rending undead. Can you prepare for that? Im not sure if you can because no one else did, thats for sure.

i had a better chance than most as i could easily fortify my home. both front and back doors were above ground level with decks and stairs to enter them. a couple hours with an Ax took care of that. the one ground floor level window that entered the basement was blocked with bricks i swiped from the nighbors garage and banked with dirt on the outside, and nailed over with plywood on the inside. it was a weak point but i covered it as best i could.

While i was working one car went flying by doing at least 60 MPH (in town) and heavily loaded. i thought the driver may have ben a gal i know but they were going too fast for me to say for sure. niether of the two occupants had a visible firearm so i didnt give them too much attention. What i did pay attention to was the herd of about 15 Zombies chasing the car. they dont move very fast but once they get a scent they stay on it until they find the end. I had finished demolishing the front deck but not the rear and i grabbed my rifle. I had armed up with my Marlin 336 30-30. i used it in steel silhouette shooting and it was the most accurate weapon i owned. it only held five rounds though. this was going to be interesting.

i was standing on the stringers of the deck andi had already destroyed the steps. i had 40 rounds of 30-30 ammo in a bandoleer and five in the rifle. I calmly raised my rifle and fired. In the past i had read "The Zombie Survival Guide" and gotten a good laugh out of it. Now i was about to see if it was right or not. My previous headshots on my transformed co-worker seemed to lend credence to the headshot kill theory so i tapped the first guy in the forehead. He dropped like a stone. my second round caught another in the throat and left his head hanging from a tendon. he still kept on coming so i fired through his torso and dropped him.

Oop the fire neds attention. ill be right back.
