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.

Robben Island, Cape Town Province, United States of Southern Africa

Today I interviewed Xolelwa Azania, who was a very interesting person. He started out talking about a man named Paul Redeker, who was describes as being dispassionate. Redeker was the man who came up with the plan called "Plan Orange." That was the name of a plan which included a survival strategy for the African people. This plan made him the most hated man in Africa. The main objective of the plan was to sacrifice some of their own people during the zombie crisis in order for most of its people to remain safe. His reason for this was because he thought there was no way to save all of the people, so you might as well sacrifice some to the zombies. Still this sounds really cruel and selfish to sacrifice some of your own people just so the others can survive. He went into hiding and while there, he revised his plan. The government later found him and chose to use his plan. Opinions vary when it comes to what they think Redeker was like as a person, some even agree that it was him who helped save the world from the zombies. I still do not know what to think.

Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies Federation

Today i interviewed a man named T. Sean Collins. He doesn't really know what the title of his job is so he just calls himself a mercenary. His job was to be a body guard for celebrities during the Zombie crisis. The celebrities lived in an expensive house that had everything from high walls to motion sensors. It also had web cams, where the celebrities could remain in the spotlight and communicate with their fans. However, the web cams are what caused the riot to happen because everyone knew where the celebrity safe house was located. Why couldn't the celebrities for just once live in secrecy? When Collins saw the civilians raiding the house, he didn't fire his gun because they were not the "living dead." It was chaos once the civilians entered the house, and gunshots were being fired, blood was everywhere, and a fire was burning the house down. T. Sean Collins managed to sneak out during this riot and paddle out to sea looking for a ride to the New York Harbor.

The Amazon Rain Forest, Brazil

My next interview came with an unusual arrival of being blindfolded in order to not reveal my hosts' location. I interviewed a man named Fernando Oliveira, who considered himself a doctor. He was getting paid a lot of money from not doing normal doctor procedures but doing organ transplants. These organs came off the black market most likely from China. There wasn't time to test these organs, and they could have very well been life-threatening. This is immoral. How could Fernando do such a thing? Why didn't he have the organs checked to make sure they were healthy. All he wanted was money, which is what he got a lot of. Fernando killed the man who was getting a heart transplant with his gun after the patient attacked the doctors. He somehow managed not to go to jail for this crime. Fernando was a scandalous man who was in the organ transplant business just for the money. How cruel.

Lhasa, The People's Republic of Tibet

I also interviewed Nury Televaldi. He lived in Lhasa, one of the world's most populous cities. He was a smuggler who made great money doing this, even though it was wicked and wrong. He transported people out of the country that wanted to get away from the outbreak. He also transported infected ones. He did this either through ground transportation or air. What was he thinking doing this scandalous act, and how did he never catch the infection? I know he was in it for the money, but would money matter if he would have died from this infection? Even though measures were taken to prevent smuggling, Nury also knew ways of getting around it. He could technically be responsible for transporting the infection globally. I asked many questions to him throughout the interview, and I had gotten lots of information from Nury.

Greater Chongqing, The United Federation of China

My first interview of a survivor was with Kwang Jingshu. It took place in China and he told me a lot of information. Kwang was a medical doctor, and he helped many patients. He started the interview by saying he had to attend an emergency, where he found seven villagers barely conscious. The first patient he examined had a bite mark on it's arm from something other than an animal. I concluded it must have been from the "zombies." The village was chaotic and one young child he was helping couldn't move and Jingshu was scared. Now he had been a highly trained doctor for most of his life and after tending to the young boy, Jingshu had told me he had been truly scared for the first time on the job. Now that makes sense with the crisis going on in the midst of him helping the villagers. After helping the villagers, he contacted Doctor Gu Wen Kuei, who is an expert in infectious diseases. He knew something was wrong and had to help immediately. The questions in my head after the interview included where did these zombies come from, and how did they cause such a crisis in China and later the world?
