Day 144

As today was a bright day, though cold, I have made some more notes.

Interestingly the Rani have started to band together. There are noticeable thinnings of the horde they make. These points center around areas I can't see as being any good to them. One of which is the gatehouse.

I was wondering if they group around 'leaders' or potential/beginning Screamers. This is the most logical conclusion I can make; of course the proof is only viable if they break through and I can remember what these 'leader' Rani look like.

I will admit I threw a couple of stones at them to test their reaction. Interestingly even though I did it from blind cover they looked right at me. I used a mirror to see where they looked and they didn't look at the mirror at all, even for a second.

The Rani seem to come in all sizes still. The larger ones haven't lost weight as time as gone on; further hinting at the whole idea that they don't degenerate. Though arguably the smaller ones would be easiest and first to show this as more significant parts would disintegrate faster.

The rest of the pages today are covered with general Rani pictures. Including Rani Vs Z-word's from films. And a flick book that I've been working on since the start. It's going quite well. I'm on page 10 now. Don't complain, I haven't had the time recently.

Dawn of the dead (original obviously) lose, but 28 days later is the winner right now with their infection rate. I don't think the I Am Legend ones count as they aren't really zombies in the normal sense, as their state is reversible.

I have been considering reducing the number of Rani at our border but I'm not convinced that is a good idea. Guns would certainly bring more of them, and the stench of the rotting dead undead isn't pleasant. I suppose I could use the time to test to see how effective different methods are for disposing of them... Fire would be interesting, but at the same time that little part of me says no just in case they retain even the smallest part of humanity...

And yes I do appear to be more nonchalant than usual but in truth I am as I always am. I guess I just feel a little safer and less hurt right now.

I hope you make another day
