Dear Diary, The Apocalypse is Here

Dear whoever finds this diary,

I am writing this as a way to let the future people know what happened to us.

We all joked about this day coming. This day has been in a countless number of movies, TV shows, and video games. Some even said they hoped that this day would come. Well guess what? It did.

It started as random attacks in different cities across the United States. A mysterious illness would strike a person which would cause them to become violent and attack another person. Anyone who came into contact with the infected person's fluid (blood, spit, etc.) would also become infected. At first, people weren't too concerned with the attacks. They thought that everything would be okay. But then the hospitals quickly became overrun and cities became quarantined in just a matter of days. I live in the rural mountains far from any city, so we've been pretty safe so far. But yesterday my cousins went out to hunt for food, and they came running back saying there were infected in the woods. We've gathered up all the food and weapons we could find, secured every door and every window, and are hiding out in the house.

No one is coming to save us.
