Diary of the dead

The world’s gone to hell, and David Hollingworth has been Left 4 Dead.

Shit.

Two weeks after first infection, and we’re still in the city.

Shit.

Out there, the infected are getting stronger. In here, we’re all getting weaker. We’re going to have to make a run for the hospital, to its helipad. Maybe we’ll get rescued, maybe we’ll get turned into dogfood.

Well, at least we won’t become infected ourselves. Everyone I know may be dead or worse, but at least being immune has some upside. Anyway, looks like we’re about to make the run for the first safehouse. I’ll try to write down more when we get there.

...

Fuck me, that was tough. Taking point on a four-man – I mean, person, sorry Zoey – team, mostly civvie, is a tough job. Taking point with limited ammo, a poor choice in weapons and hordes of infected is seriously harsh. We nearly lost Louis, but we pushed that fast thing, a Hunter I think Francis called it, off of him quick smart, and a load of buckshot took care of him real quick. Must have gotten too noisy, though, cause the horde hit us real fast soon after.

Francis ran out of ammo, I was down to butt-stroking the damned dead things, and it was only Zoey and her pistols that kept us up. Damn humbling, that. And me a vet and all.

So we pushed out into the street after that. Open fights, much better – you could see the enemy coming, and they weren’t much interested in dodging or hugging cover. Musta killed twenty or thirty right there. Safe house weren’t far after that, so we humped it over and re-armed. Don’t know who set these up, but bless ‘em.

Anyway, gotta pound the pavement again, so sayonara for now.
