Awaiting the inevitable

[laurion]

This will probably be my last post ever. I'm stuck at the top of the Volen building. It's a 5 story building, and the only graveyards nearby are small ones. Lucky the hospital went mostly defunct a few years ago. I've got the stairwells jammed up tight with every desk and coat rack and filing cabinet I could muscle over. I was able to rig the emergency stop on one of the two elevators. the other one is still down at the end of the hall, and I'm trying to find a way onto the roof. I hope their brains are so far gone that they can't figure out how to use the elevator, but my hopes are starting to dwindle. There weren't that many on campus at first, but now every tim I look out the windows I see more of them crawling around. There's dozens of them all around the plaza below, and there's no way I can make it to my car now. No weapon up here in the labs, so I'm wielding a tennis racket right now. Not much up here to help out. Found a Brita in the department fridge, so I've got clean water for now, so long as the Quabbin keeps flowing into the building. I've got maybe 2 days of food if I steal other people's food out of the fridges (they won't need it). Maybe three if I dare going down and breaking into the vending machine.

Doesn't seem like it'll come to that. I hope they either find out what happened and stat fixing this shit before then, or more likely, they'll batter down the braces I have holding the downstairs doors shut and get to me. I saw them rip apart a woman whoran screaming from the library. I keep seeing myself that way. I can still see the pile of gore and blood. I'm not hungry anymore. Maybe I'll make it 4 days.

With all of our military overseas, we should've seen something like this. I heard rumors that it was a bioterrorist attack from eastern europe. If so, it's gotten loose, because I heard they were seeing this in london, prague, and beijing.

Never thought I'd die before I hit 30.

A., I'm sorry.

Hey man, if you can at all make it to the Pike, the rest stop right before 14 on the inbound side is a rescue center. I don't have a cell but there is wireless; Stone is going to try and make it over here I hope.

Oh, and man, I'll tell the guys here that you're in there-they've been sending out rescue teams to people who they can get out. I heard there's even a couple of helicopters here and there doing the same thing.

Send the 'copters! I got the hatch to the roof open and used a fire extinguisher to break down the ladder up. Just in time too. One of the grad students who got bit decided if he was going, he was going to take as many with him as possible and got a pack up the elevator. I can hear them below me. Good thing I stole this laptop on my way up.

I'll be the idiot on the roof waving his arms in the air like he really, really cares.

I told them, man, but I can't guarantee anything. They wrote it down...I hope they get to you soon.

Things are heating up here. I heard something about one of their ground teams getting ambushed....I guess some of them got out alive....

Baby's got a gun.

Maybe we can survive this and still get coffee from the shattered remains of the Bean tomorrow. 'Struth; they won't need their fancy espresso machines anymore.
