I'm still alive.
When last month I discovered a connection active, a quick search of my contacts has borne fruit. The Blog of Alex McNab
is still standing, and through him - as if to respond to the call of the species - many voices were raised. I am not alone at all. Survivors. In war, hiding or fleeing, however, in life. The choir, perhaps for the sake of the news or simply a desire to feel alive, I add my voice. I owe you information that proved vital, as the dates for the conservation of canned food to avoid, more names and movements of criminals who, in many ways, are worse than Yellow. Thanks. I hope - indeed, I know - you can return the favor sooner or later. One step from a very bad end, information are essential to avoid those inches that separate us from the pit.
The irony, now that I think is that this post - what I consider a little reminder that 'the survivors of Radio London - Alex wrote it for her birthday, an occasion that celebrates life at the bottom. Among other things, giving us all much more than you can pack with a nice bow.
This was my first response signal to the network:

The cold and humidity of the plains Po slow down the advance, but the shelters attract small groups of yellow for warmth, ending the encounter with the survivors holed up in buildings. It is the game of cat and mouse, we lose every day. Yesterday, desperate prayer were surprised and asked for salvation. Who? God, if it exists, does not protect the stupid. They knew the danger but they went to die. In church, in the heat, all those people. Maybe not praying for salvation but to die quickly. Get it over with. I do not know, time passes. If it snows, when they are numb, I will try to reach the pharmacy. A handful of pills and goodbye.
Happy Birthday,

Today, things - so to speak - are better.
I no longer think in the end as before. I observe, indeed, for there is much to observe. To wander the streets not only yellow, but in order paramilitary groups. Or should I say hunters on Sunday, thieves who steal unnecessarily obtuse that I have already done to rob me. If you saw the magazine, I would die. After the massacre in church, I was the only one to guard the supplies. Before the others were going to die we have collected everything: food, clothing, weapons, anything useful. A long Summer Yellow past broken the back to supply what was to be our great defense, under the attacks of infected crows and the usual Yellow. I barricaded here for some time, I will not say where. In the late summer we were very few, then when the last went to die in church or in a desperate attempt to save those who had done it, I was alone. The "trouble" is that I do not mind at all. Day after day I talk to myself and I cherish my solitude with that - who knows - it may germinate in a comfortable madness. I came to hope that would alleviate all the rest, too many things I'm trying all together. Above all, the things I've seen.
Those people out there.
While I go mad waiting for good, those are a bit forward.
are two groups. At first I thought they were together, spying and eavesdropping, but I learned a few things. On second thought, I have to laugh. I've always been cautious, I would say wimp, but now ... I do not know, maybe the feeling of having nothing to lose, it made me more courageous. Sometimes, I confess, I'm a fucking unconscious. And who knows, maybe a part of me is still looking for a way out of death.
I said, the two groups.
The first are the robbers on Sunday I mentioned before, and their leader. Belphegor, he says. The truth is that the legend has spread, so more beggars among the robbers use that name because in a world where superstition and fear becomes real information out of the network (but it was not before?) no longer exists, the name of the Big Bad Wolf scares the sheep more than a stranger. So be careful, very few are those who say they are. If you get the news that the Marquis or Belphegor (on which I have to better document, having read only two lines) are dead, do not believe. This is probably one of these beggars. Who knows, maybe punished by those who were "emulating". In any case, the group that I have seen is a bunch of ten people. They're sticking their dirty hands everywhere, looking for what they can not find.
Well, before it reaches the warehouse, I decided to give him a good joke. 'm Setting up a fake, with all the canned suspicion. Take advantage of moments when patrolling the campaign, firing the Yellow and the few remaining farmers to rob them. I hope you are, go away and do a very bad end. It seems to be in Mad Max, only instead of the desert is the Po valley. While unloading infected food in the warehouse fake laugh to myself, laughing like a fool or a madman.
Here, the second group.
Matti, mad to the core. Like me, I hope, I'll never be.
Their leader - I call it Santone - Yellow delusions of supremacy, inviting her to be deliberately infected. The world, he says, he no longer belongs to man. The only choice, he insists, is embracing the trend. On him, on all of them, signs of infection are evident, especially aggression. Yellow hunt for food, or worse. I spilled the stomach in the snow, the risk of being discovered, when three of them take turns raping a Yellow numb from the cold. I believe to be the institution for the mentally ill here in town. Perhaps abandoned or forgotten in a hurry. So, without medication, the delusions have taken a hand to everyone, creating their own mythology around the obsessive infected, which would be the humanity of tomorrow. Always wear something yellow. A hat, a scarf, an armband. The other group, the looters, they seem fun to watch - as a freak-show
- But if the lunatics get too close, shoot well with them. Well, I hope they kill each other.
thrillers. The first Yellow opposed little resistance, but now the temperature has risen and I step out of the shelter unless it is indispensable. I have to finish the trap, put enough because the take stuff and go away satisfied. I keep an eye on their research teams and I know I still have a day or two of time before we arrive. In any case, tomorrow is the last day of loading and unloading. I do not want to risk more, the yellow are shaking from the torpor.
To be honest, is when I saw what I saw that I will not quit.
My plan - to now - is to remain hidden, to rely on my resources until I'll have. Then, well, I live hand to mouth. All for now.
PS There are two thoughts that never leaves me, one about my glasses. You know that episode of Twilight Zone (or was it The Outer Limits?) Where, at the end of the world, is an old one and they say 'Well, finally I can read everything "and then break his glasses? Well, if I run out of my fucking, SODDING, plurifottuto. And I do not mean it can not read, but rather because I can not see without a cock. Especially from a distance. The other thought is for Caorso, the nuclear in Piacenza. I have no idea what it was. He had been reactivated to supply Italy in case of block energy from abroad, remember? Well, around here he's talked a lot, since it is a stone's throw away. To this day I do not know if it is turned off, in operation, or staffed at the mercy of yellow and militias. Needless to say, this sword of Damocles over the situation worse.
stay alive.
