Dear Diary,
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it ws the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way."
I had finished plagiarizing the back of the book I was reading for a book report assignment and then I was suddenly attacked by zombies.
The end.
That was almost three years ago.
"Hey Louis! Stop teasing the locals!"
Robert waved me down, his bulky caribou coat dwarfing his already small figure.
I bury my shovel into the fresh falling snow, my mukluks stepping on a wild-eyed disembodied head, it's teeth snapping loudly at me. Every spring when the snow thaws out, they come again. At least as close to spring as we can get ever since the bombs dropped. Ashy skies as for as the eyes can see, the sun behind the layer of filth clawing desperately at us but always coming short.
I remember back in the good old days people would make up "zombie survival plans" for sh*ts and giggles, they would always so "Oh I'll go to Canada and wait it out". Well a lot of people did, too bad they didn't figure their idea wasn't so original. Within 2 weeks food and water ran out, various indigenous wild life wiped off the face of the Earth by hungry survivors. The Moose, the Orca Whale, the Polar bear, all gone and to never be seen again. Its a wasteland of snow and ash and the undead. I miss Manitoba. Im just a farm boy from Dauphin, I didn't ask for this crap.
