Journal of the Living is a reader-directed web series
about Ben Smith, a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. Ben used to
work in the City as a banker – but he now leads a small group of people trying
to survive in a Britain plagued by zombies and dangerous vigilante groups. Ben
tells his story in his journal. Some of his blog entries will feature a
poll where he asks for advice. Readers can vote, directly affecting the
storyline.
Ignore
the blood on my face. It’s not infected. It’s mine. I cut my forehead a couple
of days back raiding an Asda superstore in the territory of The Pure Bloods. On
a whim I grabbed this laptop from the electrical aisle. I thought I’d like to
write a journal about my life when I had some free time between hunts and
raids. This blog might be the only record of what happened to me. I’m going to
fill these blogs with things I consider important, so other people, like you,
can know what it was really like living in Britain after Day One of The Zombie
Apocalypse.
It’s
no picnic, believe me.
Dear
Reader, my name’s Ben Smith. I’m a survivor of the zombie plague, living in
England ten months after civilisation collapsed. I’m alive for now – but I’ll
probably undead by the time you read these words.
At
the time of writing this first entry, I’m hiding out in an old farmhouse a few
miles north of Watford, watching a gang of Pure Bloods hunting for me and my
friends. They want back the food supplies we grabbed in the Asda raid. They’re
coming my way now
–
so I’d better stop writing. I’ll write some more when it’s safe.
Bye
for now.
Ben Smith, April 4, 2014.
