I'm not even sure what day it is

Holy shit. I've come across a whole world of them.

Since I lost power to my phone, myself and the guide have come across a decent sized city and they are everywhere! I'm not sure I could even recount all of the close calls I've had… But I did realize that despite the fact that they are everywhere they don't seem to move in the large mobs they do in the movies. Just one more thing Hollywood got wrong. If only Hollywood was around to have learned the lesson. But the point is that although there seems to be zombies at every turn, they are not moving in large blobs and groups so I can manage to stay one step ahead of them and not be over powered by sheer force.

But to recap we came across the town approximately three days ago. I very quickly, and unfortunately lost my guide in a matter of an hour once we entered the urban area. It was impossible to stay a safe distance from every zombie I encountered while still keeping tabs on him. As strange as this sounds.. I will miss him.

I've been bouncing around from hiding place to hiding place keeping as low a profile as I could. And I spent a lot of sleepless nights in broom closets and abandoned buildings, and I even had to fight one off. After a long night in a gas station bathroom I open the door to find one of them standing directly in front of me, with his back to me. I freaked and immediately attacked him with the knife I keep on my belt. He turned and and lunged towards me with the knife sticking out of his neck and all. I think the knife weakened him or at the very least threw him off balance so when he went for my neck he missed. His body hitting mine, but no wound inflicted. With all my force I pushed him back and he tumbled over the register counter. I bolted, not looking back. Since then I've been more cautious.

I wondered the streets for another day, and somehow stumbled upon where I am now. I'm on the fifth floor of an apparently abandoned office building. In fact I'm writing this as we speak on a desktop computer because the electricity and internet still works in this town. It's easily the safest place I've been in weeks. And I can finally recharge my phone.

My current plan is to lay low here, get some sleep and take it easy for a day or two. Besides I have some nice big windows that I can look out upon the city and perhaps I can observe the zombies from afar. It seems safer.
