Day 87

Weather: Dull and cold. Feels like the freezing temperatures may be coming back

Rani activity: Low. I saw a few in the distance but none within at least 500metres throughout the day

Pete's state: Still sleeping loads. His temperature appears to be the same. This could be a long sit in.

My state: More focused than yesterday. I'm sort of over my little breakdown from my memories. If there is anything I have learnt during this time it is that I have to remember all I have seen and just deal with it because every moment of doubt is a moment I could die...

Day 1 - Sam's side.

So the news flickered back and forth for a while. Until more breaking news arrived. Worse than before: it was a wide scale emergency. The report flashed to a press conference in an undisclosed place in which a military official stood, pale faced. I cannot remember his words clearly but they went something like:
"People of the United Kingdom, and indeed the greater world. This announcement is following an incident yesterday which we thought was an isolated case. It turns out it now isn't. At roughly 4pm in the city of Hereford there was an attack made upon a couple of young men. The guilty party was, for the lack of a better phrase, a mindless beast that only sought to injure. Following this one of the victims was killed. The other escaped unharmed. As of 8am this morning there were no less than 50 duplicate situations. The truth that has been hidden from the media is that these attackers appear to be people who fall near death or who have died. After a short post mortem of the first attacker and victim, scientists have decided to call these things Reanimated-Sapiens. For the purposes of conserving time in discussion please refer to them as Reanimates.
We are advising that people stay inside and barricade themselves in. Another statement will be issued in the next few days. I will answer a few questions."

First 'What has caused this?'
Reply "I don't know"
Second 'What will the government do about it?'
Reply "I don't know"
Third 'What is the best way to directly defend ourselves from these Reanimates?'
Reply "I don't know"
Fourth 'How can we tell if someone will change into one of them?'
"I don't know"
Fifth 'How long has the government known about this?'
"I don't know"
Sixth 'Are other countries affected as well?'
"I don't know"
Seventh 'Will we survive this?'
"I don't know. I'm sorry, time's up, please leave before it becomes unsafe"

He left and the press conference ended. For those interested no further 'official' statements came. Only those from radio DJ's and the like.

I hope you make another day
