Father Sergei Ryzhkov: Siberia, The Holy Russian Empire

Today I met with Father Sergei Ryzhkov. He told me of his country and religious experiences. He told me of a lot of differences from Siberia and the United States. He started out by telling me they were fighting a war on two fronts, the Ural barrier in the west and the Asian swarms from the southeast. He said that his country was different from other countries because of their different war production, but what they did have was the legacy of a military state. They wore the tunics of their grandfathers, there battles were brutal using old tactics, and he said there were always just too many zombies. After using all these unsuccessful solutions he found out that the only way to take care of the dead was to a bullet. He was also losing a lot of his good men due to “suicide by combat.” He was a religious man in a country that had long lost its faith. One day he said that God had spoken to him saying “No more sinning,” “No more souls resigned to hell.” The suicides were costing him too many good men and the Lord too many good souls, and suicide was a sin. He felt that God had not denied his children and they needed his love, courage, hope, and guidance back.

Darnell Hackworth: Ainsworth, Nebraska

Today I met with Darnell Hackworth, a shy, soft spoken man. He and his wife had retirement farm for the four legged veterans of the army’s K-9 Corps. He told me what the dogs were used for in the war. They were used for triage, to sniff people to see if they were infected. The dogs were just ballistic, they would have to keep them in cages or they would attack very fiercely. They would attack the person, each other, or there handler. A lot of handlers lost hands, arms, and throats being torn out. The dogs had to go through a lot of advanced physical training (AIT). There were a lot of live exercises; they were the first to use zombies in training for the dogs. He told me they had an exercise, Long Range Patrol, where the dogs would have to sniff the zombies and take them out. They were very useful for the war and helped immensely. Darnell Hackworth is a very good man for giving the credit dogs, which they completely deserve.

Terry Knox: Sydney, Australia

Today I interviewed Terry Knox. He had a very weird experience to tell me. He was stranded in the orbit when the war was going on. While they were up in orbit there was a lot of technology that made things a lot easier and led to their survival. Also while they were up there they had an hour or two where they didn’t have to do anything, so they had access to what was happening on Earth. They saw a lot of battles, the Indians not being able to keep control over the zombies because there lack of enough ammunition, the swarms of zombies going over Central Asia and the American Great Plains, the evacuation of Japan, hundreds of boats, and thousands of small boats trying to evacuate people to safe ground. He revealed that the zombies were all for biological instinct, when they try to get something they never give up. He also saw earth from his spacecraft and saw billions of campfires, little tiny orange specs everywhere, making it look like the world was on fire. That just sounds insane. Two weeks after the revolution begun they got there first and only radio call from the Chinese station, called Yang Liwei. This made it possible to go to the station where they got emergency supplies, food, water, and O2 candles that could last them for at least five years. They took everything they could inch for inch. Without this they wouldn’t have survived. They were in orbit for three years. After returning he had to go through physical therapy to build back muscle mass lost in space… After this interview Terry Knox died three days later.

Kondo Tatsumi: Kyoto, Japan


Today I interviewed Kondo Tatsumi. A skinny, acne faced teenage boy with bleached blond hair and dull red eyes. He was “otaku” which is an “outsider.” He was a very strange young man and he felt like his life was with cyber space. He told me that Japanese citizens were taught to memorize the things they were educated. When the zombies came they learned about their physiology, behavior, weaknesses, and global response and this helped him later on because it was very well memorized. He was always in his house working on what to do about the evacuation. He really didn’t have a good relationship with his parents. His mom would bring food and place it in front of his door while he worked. Crisis started; food stopped coming, parents vanished, computer stopped working, he started freaking out, and started revealing the cities meltdown, and the zombies. When the zombies came he had an escape plan, to take bed sheets and tie them down four stories and then get new bed sheets from apartment complexes so he could keep connecting them all the way down to the ground. But every time he went into the homes he would run into zombies or what they call them “siafu.” Then he went into a room where he discovered photos of someone’s family and friends and how the man used to be in war. As he was looking he revealed the man as a zombie seeing him through a mirror. Kondo broke the man’s arm and took the other arm swung him around and threw him over the balcony. Now he picked up some survival materials and was off on his journey to soon escape the dead and survive the war.

Hyungchol Choi: The Demilitarized Zone: South Korea


Today I met with Hyungchol Choi. He told me of how his country South Korea, had a much different preparation for the attack of the zombies, than his neighboring country, North Korea. The country of North Korea was way more prepared for they had rivers to the east and west, a mountainous terrain. They had a heavily militarized population, over a million of their men and women were armed and they had all had to undergo basic military training. His country, South Korea, was way different. They had a total open society, because the international trade with other countries was in their blood. North Korea also blocked the borders from South Korea and had spies. When the zombies attacked all of the citizens from North Korea seemed to vanish…

Colonel Christina Eliopolis: Parnell Air Nation Guard Base, Tennessee

Today I met with Colonel Christina Elipolis. I got a very intense story from her. It made me feel like I had no problems at all during the war after listening to her experience. She was a Raptor driver of the FA-22, the best plane ever built. Her and her crew’s main objective was airborne resupply. Her troubles all started on a trip from Phienix to Tallahassee, Florida, in late October. It was the ninth haul that week. She had to go to the bathroom and was finishing up when there was a jolt and then she could feel the plane nose diving at the ground. She takes an emergency exit and pulled her shoot and landed on the ground below. She was now on the ground by herself, but she was prepared because her base had taught her how to survive this experience. She had to pass a test in Willow Creek in the Klamouth Mountains in California. It taught you how to survive and take out Zack (zombies). She had all the survival materials that she needed, gear and a pistol. She also had a response from her radio, from a girl named Mets. She told Christina she was to go to the I-10 where Mets told her be pick up from the search and rescue. She helped her all the way to the finish line. She spotted a car. Mets told her to stay away, because in the cars there could be zombies might be trapped in them ready to grab you if you enter. She went anyway. She ended up taking out fifteen zombies. It was getting dark and dangerous and she had to get sleep. She slept in a high tree. She woke up and saw a hundred zombies. She called Mets for an immediate search and rescue plane. he jumped far away from them, but broke her ankle. She limped to the I-10 and hopped onto the plane and was safe. It was a very crazy and powerful experience to listen to.
