Ainsworth, Nebraska, USA

Today, I interviewed Darnell Hackworth. He is a shy, soft-spoken man who runs a retirement farm for dogs who fought in the zombie pandemic. Before the pandemic, there was one in every state but since then his is the only one left. These dogs were first used to sniff the people who were infected. Darnell never felt that they got enough credit. He said it was a great program but it came down to the dog training. Pups began getting trained by sitting across from G's, and that is how they got the instinct to kill. As they grew older, the dogs would go through more advanced training, until they were ready to go on missions. The main mission for them was scouting, either Sweep and Clear (SC) or Long Rang Patrol (LRP). These tactics proved to be very effective, and the dogs, without a doubt, played a major role in the zombie pandemic.

Aboard the Mauro Altieri, Three Thousand Feet Above Vaalajarvi, Finland

Today, I interviewed General D'Ambrosia in the Combat Information Center. The interview with him was short, yet very interesting. He said that he was scared to go to war against the two million zombies. I had no idea that the number of zombies was that large, heck I would be scared too if I was in the General's shoes. The book of war, he stated, was useless, and that there had to be a new one written from scratch just because of the zombies. He later told me the differences between the human army and the zombies. The human army had to be "bred, fed, and led." Whereas the zombies didn't need any of this, making them extremely lethal and dangerous. You could not starve them to death or surround them, the only way to kill them was to destroy its brain. This must have caused great stress and chaos for the army. I am sure glad I was not one of the generals during the zombie pandemic.

Sydney, Australia

Today, I interviewed a man named Terry Knox. He was the first and only Australian commander of the International Space Station. During the zombie pandemic, he was on a space station, the ISS. His focus was surviving, while in space, with little materials. There was lots of downtime in outer space, so they watched the pandemic happen right in front of their eyes with the help of enhanced optics. They saw lots of battles, the evacuation of Japan, many fires, and even discovered zombie holes, which were the pits that the undead dig when they are going after burrowing animals. This must have hurt Terry and his crew to helplessly watch these people die. He had the option to return to Earth, but they felt it was safer in Earth. Was that the right choice by him? They stayed in outer space for over three years. This interview was very interesting, and I was sad to find out that Terry Knox died three days following the interview I had with him.

The Demilitarized Zone: South Korea

My third and final interview this week was with Hyungchol Choi. He was the deputy director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency. He claimed North Korea was the most prepared for the infestation because they were surrounded by bodies of water and the Demilitarized Zone, which is the most heavily fortified border in the world. They also had a highly militarized population. He explained that South Korea was the exact opposite of North Korea. They were a open society where trade played a major role. I would have felt much safer living in North Korea during this time. Once Zombie outbreaks occured, North Korea severed all diplomatic realtions. Also South Korea's spies in the North began vanishing. This was a mystery to Choi. He later credits the North for his survival.

Province of Bohemia, The European Union

I also had a very interesting interview with David Allen Forbes. He is an author of the book called Castles of the Zombie War: The Continent. He began talking about all of the castles that spread across the world that were used as protection during the zombie pandemic. The high walls kept people safe from the zombies, however there were many internal dangers. For example, if a person has a case of pneumonia, it could spread throughout the castle and wipe out the population of the castle. I would hate to live in closed quarters with illnesses going around. Also, scarcity of food inside the castle led to raiding the food of the near countryside. He alter talks about the castle where he stayed, Windsor. It was a state-of-the-art castle that had everything from its own water well to large storage space for food. They also managed to get oil inside the castle and have amazing security that kept the civilians inside safe. Now this is a castle that i wouldn't mind living at during the zombie pandemic.

Parnell Air National Guard Base, Tennessee

Today, I had a long interview with Colonel Christina Eliopolis, who was a fighter pilot. She flew a Raptor plane, which she claims was "the best air superiority platform ever built." However, it was banned because it was "strategically invalid." She later took me through the event of her plane crashing on the way to Florida, leaving her abandoned in the middle of Louisiana all alone. While alone, she came in contact with a skywatcher by radio who goes by the name "Mets." How did "Mets" come in contact with Christina? Does "Mets" work for the government? She mentors and guides Christina to safety through the zombie infested areas. Christina had to fend off many zombies with her handgun. She got saved by a civilian chopper just in time to evade the zombies.

Sand Lakes Provincial Wilderness Park, Manitoba, Canada

I also interviewed a women named Jesika Hendricks. Her family decided to move farther north to stay away from the zombies. They decided to do this because zombies freeze solid in cold weather. I would have also chosen to go north in order evade the zombies. The family took all their belongings and set of on their journey. Along the way, they encountered many hitchhikers wanting to go farther north. Once they arrived at the camp, they were having a great time with other campers and were enjoying campfires and feasts together. But supplies grew scarce as the winter grew colder. People started fighting including Jesika's parents. There were also no more camp fires. She told me that eleven million people died that winter in North America. That number is ridiculous! The living dead came in the spring, and the campers teamed up killing them. That must have been one scary, cold winter for the Hendricks family and all the other campers.
