'Shit... Another nightmare.' I think to myself after waking up. I get up and stretch myself. 'Damn, I need to find something comfortable to sleep on. Sleeping on the ground is hurting me.' I tell myself. I am an early bird so in the morning, it's mostly quiet. It's been 4 years since the outbreak. Out of billions of people, only some millions survived. Now most cities are deserted... Wait, I take that back, it's actually filled with these monsters. I got to this town some weeks ago and I decided to settle in the church for a while. Don't misunderstand. I am not Chrestien or in any other religions. I did believe in God but after what happened to me. I gave up on it. Now I believe only on myself. I managed to survive this long alone so I am pretty confident in my survival skills.

The reason why I am hiding in a church is because there is enough room for me to run freely if some walkers find me out but there is enough obstacle for me to either finish them off or to get out of here. For the past days that I've been here, I got in contact with people. Most often, I had a run in with scavengers but there were also some travelers. I helped some travelers and in exchange, I got weapons that could help me out. I am surviving alone so I have to watch out for every movement of the zombies. That helped me find some of their habits that helped me survive from some pinches in the past. I tough that most people would find out about these little discoveries of mine but seems like I am actually the first to stalk the dead. To be actually honest, this was a surprise. I overestimated the intelligence of humans. Yes, humans are way smarter when compared to other animals but if we start comparing them to each other, we are actually dumb.

These zombies aren't like the ones you see on the TV like the walking dead. These are way dangerous than those things. These walkers can track you down with their nose. They will learn after experiencing so its important to kill them once you use up your tricks. The good thing is they don't share that knowledge with others so if you try stuff on one of them, you have to kill that one first. They also regenerate their lost limbs after a week or two and they are actually really fast. Not fast like the World War Z movie. These ones are actually slower than that but still, it isn't a good thing. They are fast walkers. They can almost jog but can't for some reason.

Anyway, This is huge discoveries for someone like me who likes to survive alone. There were some group of people that invited me but I refused. I would rather be alone than be used as a bait for others. Surviving alone is hard but its impossible to get betrayed by yourself. After what happened to me, I can't trust people. No matter what I do, my conscience won't trust anyone else but myself. Even if I accepted their invitations, I would have been kicked out later. I got a shitty personality. Right now, this world's rule is survival of the fittest. You would have to depend on yourself and not others.

This is a small town situated in Canada near the States. The winter here is a punishment. I have to find a better shelter compared to this church soon. I do have some canned goods hidden somewhere in the town. I could live through the winter with those so I hunt some rabbits so I don't have to do much in the winter.

I got on the roof of the church and climbed down with the help of a rope I had put there. Zombies can't climb so that helps. Time to eat breakfast now. Let's see if those traps caught any meal for me.

As I was sneaking around town, I noticed something strange. The zombies aren't as scattered as they should be. After watching their behavior, I came to the conclusion that people were in town. They should have been here for a night because the zombies seem to have a hard time finding their smell. I could find them first and help them out but that would be a pain in the ass so I ignored it and moved towards my hunting ground. I am hungry as well because yesterday I didn't eat much. As I was moving towards my breakfast, I felt eyes on me. When I arrived at my destination, I saw that people were here not long ago. They had left their tracks on the bushes. When I saw that, I got a chill and crouched down a bit. The traps were also set back to make it look empty.
