Day 11

I was a bit vague in my description yesterday, in which I said I had just been here a while. Here being the same house as Day 10. I don't actually do a lot with my time, I just think about the world, what has happened, is it real, and just zone out mostly, with the occasional noise bringing me to my senses.

Its 1pm and so far I've had to stay again today. I blame one reason, but it's two. 1, being my leg. 2, being the Rani being back in force. The street is covered. I can't even risk another look, if they see me here, they won't leave, and who knows what that will bring.
Detached house... No roof escape like there would be in town...
I'm an idiot I know I am, if I had been more careful then and landed better I wouldn't have stayed here another day, and I wouldn't be in this situation... Protip: think ahead...
Although good news: it brings some accuracy to the belief they follow in a cycle, maybe even mistakenly following their own scent, mistaking a fading one to a person running away...
Radio has been quieter than usual. I fear that few remain. I hope that they are just out of range or out of power... I don't want to be alone quite frankly.

Day 1
After watching the incident unfold where I actually saw the heartaching, gut wrenching event of a person's transformation into a Rani I simply said "Zombies? Fuck this" and proceeded to rub my head trying to relax. Of course this was a mistake, the Rani still remaining made a break for me until it was right below me, to which it just reached up. Unjumping, nor attempting to get on it's toes. Hours past as I stared deep into it's eyes. Blackened-red; bloodshot, but I saw blue, just a bit, though maybe I imagined it. I wondered for a split second if the person who was, still lived, and if they could go back, but I dismissed it, who would want to after seeing and 'doing' all the Ranis do?
Luck seemed to smile upon me again for the 6th time in 2 days (friend not me, stayed home in outbreak, Rani not seeing me straight off at home, gap in survivors to escape through, and finally the branch still being sturdy enough to lay upon and tie myself to.)
However luck didn't smile upon another who was running from a group of them and straight into my area. He didn't even notice the one below me. Unbelievably it was one of the group who approached me by the cars. He was laughing manically, almost taunting them, I shouted to warm him, he looked at me then below and saw the Rani staring at him as it ran barely 3metres away from him. Too late.
Protip even ahead of them you are behind them too, don't be stupid.

I suppose I could  write a list of my tips and things I live by, but who is to say if my rules would work for you? I can simply put my experiences to words and hope you learn the important things. Though as you have seen I do give advice when needed. Simply some things MUST be learnt to live.

But the Rani's eyes I'll never forget. They haunt my every moment, I imagine them round every corner, seeing into my soul. I told the group I ran into on Day 4 some of this, and I really think it is this part that put them off letting me join them. A fear that I had broken? I don't blame them, I think I have. Am I anything like who I was then? Did I use to dream I was a monster? That I had those eyes...

I lay facing the ground for hours still and saw light flickering from a house, I only know 2 letters fully in morse code. Luckily for me (7th), S.O.S. is known to many.  I glanced about, a person alive who knew I was safe I couldn't

Day 11
I'm sorry for cutting there. I guess it won't mean much to you as your cut is a line. At the time of writing, I glanced out the window. The area clearing, and a person trying desperately to hide. They would be I guess 2 or 3 years younger than me, I decided I had to take the chance to follow them to see if they could be trusted, and get help from them. I got blacked up including my face. Even though it is daytime some shadows in the rubble of buildings are like night, and I intended to use them. I picked up the gimick of a set of nightvision lenses I had found along with 5 golf clubs (don't ask which it means nothing to me). No use leaving anything behind eh?

So I followed their sloppy work as they panicked all along the roads. With Rani in the streets behind us, there was no chance that (it turns out) she was with anyone. I didn't know how she made it alone like this unless she had amazing flight or fight responses and awesome speed. Turns out a bit of both. Out of the blue a Rani attacked her and she shrugged it off before grabbing a brick and smashing it down onto it's head. Then she vanished down an alley. It took me 20minutes to find her scurrying again. I made the first real joke to myself since this bega and it was terrible (bipolar Rani killer) but it passed the time. Eventually she settled for a very decent house and climbed through an open window, to which I climbed into a building the opposite side of the street so I could keep an eye on her movements. I didn't see much until it became dark and a light flickered on in the bedroom, only a torch, but risky in my opinion.
You may ask how I knew she was going to settle here. To me people just act different in terms of looking about when entering a safe place. Exits, possible dangers, current dangers, damage; do they take this into account, I don't know but I noticed it first on people on Day 4, and after I realised I did it too upon entering a building for the night.
Nethertheless I was ecstatic that I had judged right, and there she was. My crappy nightvision lenses zoomed a little and I saw she was writing, and wiping her eyes (crying?). So here I now am, do I follow up and talk to her. I have a torch...
One more day following could mean losing contact, or one of us dying...

What to do in a situation that you might die? I must choose soon.

Sorry for the break in Day 1.

I hope you make another day
