Hyungchol Choi

Earlier today in The Demilitarized Zone, in South Korea, I met with a man named Mr. Hyung Choi. Mr. Choi was the deputy director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency. Mr. Choi started off by saying that North Korea was the most well protected place on Earth for the Zombie War because of its many terrains around it. The people in North Korea were well trained and over twenty-five percent of the population was armed or in the military. But, North Koreans were born to serve the State, the Revolution, and the Great Leader, and were their own lives were considered meaningless. South Korea was an open society and people were individualists. Their plan for the Zombie War was called the Chang Doctrine. South Korea was the country to triumph over the Zombie War because they were strong and dangerous people. The troubles started when the lines between North and South Korea were closed for unknown reasons. There was no fighting at this time and nobody knew what was happening. All border activity stopped for North Korea and no spies were seen. It appeared that almost every single person from North Korea had vanished. By this time, South Korea was dealing with several outbreaks and to this day the country is still in shambles. From Mr. Choi's point of view, it seems that the North Koreans are underground and this is because of fear of the zombies. Recently they had fired a missle at a cargo plane in the sky underground. From this interview, I would have liked to known what the North Koreans are actually doing underground, if they are underground.

Barati Palshigar

Today in Ulithi Atoll, in the Federated States of Micronesia, I met with a man by the name of Mr. Barati Palshigar, an unknown man and an interview subject. Mr. Palshigar explained that ignorance was the real enemy of the Zombie War and that lies, superstitions, misinformation, and disinformation only contributed to this. Mr. Palshigar had joined the Radio Free Earth and this name came from the individuals and communities who monitored their broadcasts. Radio Free Earth came up months after the South African attack. Their radio was based off of Radio Ubunye, a South African broadcast that isolated citizens. Mr. Palshigar became part of the program when the Ural was being put back online. The Ural was a formal vessel of the Soviets, then the Russian, Federal Navy. Mr. Palshigar is skilled in languages specifically thos of the Indian Subcontinent. Mr. Palshigar was found in Sri Lanka by a man by the name of Mister Verma and he was forced to work in a refugee camp. He had to record information and learned much about the war through this. People were misguided by false information that told that zombies could do almost humanly things. He told me that places such as Varanasi were becoming filled with zombies and these people still here were not worrying about the war and the thought of being killed by the zombies. The data that came to the Ural was from sources all around the world and this would be transmitted to the IR, or the Information Reception. People would cry through these sources to the IR, but workers could not talk back to these people. From this interview, I would have liked to known people acted so foolishly in not running away from the zombies abroad.

David Allen Forbes

Today I met with a englishman named David Allen Forbes, an author and artist who was writing his second book, Castles of the Zombie War: The Continent. Mr. Forbes explained to me what castles served as during the Zombie War. Mr. Forbes likes to call zombies, Zed Heads and for this I do not know why. He first described castles as impressive homes because of the size and grandeur. There were several downfalls and upsides to living in a castle. One downfall was that disease spread around quickly because of isolation in certain areas and fires and explosions were also dangers because there was nowhere to run. The upsides to living in castles were that there was plenty of storage, high walls to stop zombies, and several other things that made advantages. In order for castles to get food, during the winter time, the people living in the castles would raid the villages and bring back the food, enough for a years supply. Mr. Forbes then told me a story about a man in Caerphilly who sought out abandoned ruins for a castle, worked throughout the coldest winter recorded, and finally helped take back the country. This was from the book Camelot Mine. Mr. Forbes mentioned that the greatest castle in Europe was the Windsor and told me about a woman named she. She stayed in the Windsor instead of leaving to go with her family because of shwoing pride and for national pride. From this interview, I would have liked to learn who she was.

Greetings Mr. Todd Wainio

Today I met with Mr. Todd Wainio, an old man who U.S. Army Infantryman. Mr. Wainio has graying hair, three deep scars on his face, and it seems to me that he has witnessed much in his life. He first talked about this place called Yonkers, a rust-collared suburb just north of New York City. Apparently, there was a battle at Yonkers and it was described as a good place to make a stand. They made their stand on the ground, where it was most dangerous, when they could have stationed in the tall buildings. They were provided with many weapons like tanks, Bradleys, and Humvees. There was also the press everywhere that covered the battle and showed what really happened. Advanced headgear equipment was provided for each soldier for the battle to monitor what was happening. Then the zombies, or Zacks, started to appear. First, hand grenades were used to defeat the zombies. This worked effectively killing about three quarters of the first wave of zombies. Second, they then started to shoot at the zombies, but many aimed for the body rather than the head. Most of the zombies were just in hospital gown, pajamas, nightshirts, sweaters, underwear, or were naked. They then shot at them again, having less of an effect. Then bombs went off and this was even less damaging than the rockets. Still, the zombies kept coming. This prompted them to use the heavy weaponry like chain guns and missiles. This worked well until the fire around the zombies started to die out. The zombies were now coming by the thousands and the soldiers were the last line of defence. Reports came that the zombies were invincible because when shot in the head, they would not die. This may or may not be true. Mr. Wainio was shot in the sternum and was then hit by a flash grenade. He was then rescued by his friends and then carried off in a Bradley. From this interview, it seems that the battle at Yonkers was only the beginning of this mayhem and that these zombies are ruthless and unstoppable.

Hello Mr. Ahmed Farahnakian

Today I met with Mr. Ahmed Farahnakian, a former Major of Iranian Revolution Guards Corps Air Force. In the area where Mr. Farahnakian lived, the infection did not hit hard because of the very mountainous region. Transportation in and out of this area was very difficult and during this time, millions of refugees from other countries started to flood into the country. This only made matters worse because by this time, many areas were now infected and there was no way to close the borders of the country. Many of the refugees were coming from Pakistan and India. Later, Mr. Farahnakian and his men had developed a plan to stop refugees and the living dead in the Pakistan mountains. However, this great plan was refused. Apparently, this would have started a war with Pakistan and they needed a plan of defense. Instead their plan was to cut off the Ketch River Bridge in between India and Pakistan. This would have sealed off sixty percent of the refugees. Mr. Farahnakian flew the mission himself and he targeted the bridge, which was effective. Unfortunately, revolts occured by Qila Safed and their government could not contact the Pakistini leadership. This led to a nuclear war between these two countries and it killed many lives. This interview taught me that everyone was not safe and that tragedies happened all the time. I would have liked to known how many people died of the nuclear war.

Talking with T. Sean Collins

Earlier today in Bridgetown, Barbados, I met with Mr. T. Sean Collins. This interview took place at Trevor's Bar. Mr. Collins was a veteran from the Zombie War and before the war started, he lived a very good life. Before the war, he worked as a security guard for a wealthy celebrity. The wealthy celebrity had many friends like, a huge record mogul and a political comedy man. In order to prepare for the zombie attack, the wealthy man transformed his house into a safehouse, with food, water, wind turbines, solar panels, backup generators, giant fuel tanks, weapons, and several different barriers. He also had a webcast that went out to all the world 24/7. The weirdest moment for Mr. Collins was when he was watching the television and he saw himself watching the television. On the television was a live feed from Third Avenue in New York and Mr. Collins was watching people fight off the zombies by aiming at their heads. Just as Mr. Collins stopped watching the television, the alarm in the house went off. What he noticed was that there was hundreds of angry people who were mad at the celebrity for living in paradise. As they broke into the house, many of the celebrity's friends started firing at the innocent people. The house was then on fire, blood was all over, and bodies parts were on the ground. Mr. Collins ran for the beach, grabbed an expensive surfboard, and started to paddle away looking for a boat to take him away. I learned that people around the world are becoming more angry with the celebrities in the world because they have much protection from zombies and have much wealth. I would have liked to known what happened to the celebrity.

A Conversation with Mr. Stanley MacDonald

In Meteora, Greece, I met a Canadian war veteran by the name of Mr. Stanley MacDonald. Mr. MacDonald worked as a soldier against drup smuggling and he was with his group at the time of his story. He and his group had found a cave entrance that was easy to locate because there was a long trail of blood leading back to the drug caravan. They knew something was wrong because there was no bodies in the cave and this was strange because rival groups usually laid out the dead bodies to warn others. The only corpses in the cave were of pack mules with large bite marks all over. There was also cargos full of stolen valuables and weapons that were perfectly new and good. They then followed another blood trail up a mountain where it appeared that a bloody man walked up the mountain. The bloody man had fell and his bloody face imprint could be seen on the ground. The man also had drag marks on his shoes in which black fluid that was hard, black, and crusted ooze appeared. They followed the trails up to another cave on the mountain. They found the entrance to the cave wide open with only dead bloody bodies on the ground. Apparently, these men had been killed by their own boobie traps and on the ground laid the limbs, piles of blood, and bones which were shredded and gnawed. Searching for survivors, Mr. MacDonald found a old, hard arm in a wall. It was still moving so Mr. MacDonald decided to pull the hand. His hand was crushed very hard by the hand in the wall and it would not let go. The whole upper body of the being grabbed Mr. MacDonald and fell on him. It tried to bite him, but Mr. MacDonald got his weapon out with just enough time to defeat the beast. He was the only witness. From my interview, i learned that this infection is truly dangerous and without any protection, you will die. What also suprised me was that one man, who had been infected, had killed a group full of people and this shows the power of these menaces. I would have liked to known what that black liquid was.

Encounter with Mr. Nury Televaldi


Earlier during the day in the People's Republic of Tibet, in Lhasa, I met with a man named Mr. Nury Televadi in a crowded sidewalk cafe. Mr. Televaldi was an importer of valuables and people and his life was changed by the outbreak. Mr. Televaldi metioned that there was an outbreak in the town of Kashi and this was the main reason began to flee China. Kashi was a rapidly growing town with about ninety percent leaving by air travel. Mr. Televaldi more specificly worked in the land smuggling buisness and he worked with upper class people who would simply just vanish out of the public. Air smuggling began to be more dangerous because the government's of some countries would go as far as killing citizens that were caught. After Flight 575, restrictions began to be more tightened and fewer peope were coming through. Some people transported were infected, some were not, but if they were infected it was the early stages and these were all seen after Flight 575. People were afraid of calling doctors because of the possiblity of being sent back to their home countries, so this was one of the ways infection was spread. Mr. Televaldi did not actually see many infected in the beginning of his duties, but as time progressed he gradually saw more infected citizens. These infected were not dangerous mainly because they were tied up and even sometimes locked up in crates. Mr. Televaldi then began to explain the dangers of sea smuggling, which were the possibilities of the infected contaminating the whole crew. From my interview, it seems that if the disease was isolated and not spread around by these smugglers, the outbreak would have died out or not spread quickly. I would have liked to known how the infection started in Mr. Televaldi's town of Kashi.

My Meeting with Mr. Kwang Jingshu


Today I met with one of the premier doctors in all of China, Dr. Kwang Jingshu. Dr. Jingshu told me about the beginning of the Zombie outbreak in China and was one of the first people to witness a Zombie. Dr. Jingshu first said that he was called into a emergency situation and was asked to deal with several patients that were extremely ill. Dr. Jingshu arrived in New Dachang and found seven victims affected by the Zombie outbreak. All of these seven victims had the same symptoms and they also had bite marks, not from an animal, but from a young human. Dr. Jingshu witnessed the first true Zombie named Patient Zero, who was almost completely dead, but also alive at the same time. Dr. Jingshu tried to take a blood sample and found a brown, viscous matter that was not normal. Patient Zero then tried to attack Dr. Jingshu and from his observations, he was forced to contact his old acquaintance, Dr. Gu Wen Kuei. Dr. Kuei realized the potential danger of the situation and ordered soldiers from the Ministry of Health to deal with the situation. The patients were taken away and after this, Dr. Jingshu was arrested and incarcerated without formal charges. By the time he had escaped prison, the Zombie outbreak had spread beyond China and into other parts of the world. Dr. Jingshu was able to give me valuable information that explained the beginning of the Zombie War. Dr. Jingshu answered all of my questions that I asked during the interview. I would have liked to have heard why Dr. Jingshu was arrested without formal charges and what they did with the Patient Zero.
My Interpretation of Patient Zero
