(Start at the bottom - Once you finish the page, at the bottom it says "Forward 20 entries")

The journal of a guy going through the zombie apocalypse. It starts off a bit slow and builds up.

Just try it. It's awesome.

And please don't give me and crap tl;dr posts. That's the point. It's a story.

[Gutspill]

Sweetness, it doesn't have nearly enough people reading it. The more people that know about it the better.

I have almost finished it, but it's odd, on my pc it is just standard text, but when I started reading it on my ipod touch on the go, some paragraphs have special red letters, and when you combine the red letters, it forms a word or sentence. The red letters do not appear on my pc, only on ipod, like one paragraph says "only an anomaly"

[Gutspill]

Yeah some of them later on spell out a poem or something

Does the story end with him just going insane or is he just a year slow to the posts?

[Gutspill]

The journal is updated in real time. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD.

The way I see it, he does not go insane - He's adapting. He hasn't needed to act and speak in a socially acceptable way (or even speak at all) for four years, so his mind is just trimming off the unnecessary bits and making itself more efficient for survival.

The zombie that got trapped that he was watching in the later parts of the story, he watched it so much, the human bit of himself somehow hoping that it would just die after a while. So when it did not die, he kind of realised that things weren't going to change.

Is the first entry 29 July 2002 @ 03:00 am?

[Gutspill]

Yep, that's the first entry. Git ta readin' boi

[Zorgy]

Just read it all through and loved most of it, but the ending was a little poor. It seemed to me like the writer couldn't think of anything interesting to happen so just went fuck it he can just go insane. Never the less awesome awesome blog. Fantastic reading.
