Darnell Hackworth: Ainsworth, Nebraska

Today, I interviewed Darnell Hackworth. He and his wife were two very nurturing people that established a retirement home for the four-legged that helped the war effort more then anybody else. At first, I didn't think that dogs could have done much, but after seeing what they were trained to do, I just sat back and listened. As I have described in previous posts, dogs were used to sniff out the the normal people K9s were basically brought up from birth to sniff out zombies. He said that the main test was to put zombies on one side of a fence, and the newborn dogs on the other. The dogs used in the force were the ones that looked the zombies in the eyes and growled. The cowards were not used at all. The dogs didn't just sniff out the bad guys. The lures would go out and hunt for zombies, lure them back to the soldiers, and allow them to open fire. The decoys would run around to the zombies and only bark on the far side to allow the soldiers to set up a firing line. Finally, there were the Long Range Patrol dogs who would go out for days in search of zombies. Soldiers would attach GPS to them in order to find out where the zombies where. As you can see, dogs played a crucial role in the war and were given the jobs people were too lazy to do.

Todd Wainios: Denver, Colorado

Today, I interviewed Todd Wainios. Todd was yet another tough soldier that fought on the front line of battle. Their crew's job was to establish a bunker in the middle of a desert and basically shoot at every zombie that comes their way. Todd described this place as living hell. He said that you would go out there and hold off zombies for 10 or more hours and then try to go to sleep. Of course, who could sleep when these zombies are only a couple of miles away and closing in. Their crew did it very professional though. They would mark off distances every 10 meters just to decide how they will have to compensate for the distance. Also, they had special units whose job was solely to reload the shooter's ammo. He said that the first zombie he saw really freaked him out. Although he had been on the front line before, he wasn't used to fending off thousands upon thousands of zombies. After all he told me, it didn't surprise me when he said that there where so many zombies, that a bulldozer had to clear a pathway out because they were stacked waist deep high.

Terry Knox: Sydney, Australia

Today, I interviewed probably the wealthiest of anyone I have interviewed. His name is Terry Knox and he was the commander of the International Space Station. As you can imagine, Terry had the best seat in the house at watching the zombies attempt to take more lives. His crew's job was to use the satilites orbiting the earth as sort of magnifying glasses. They were to observe any advancing zombies and report it to the people on earth. As interesting as it may sound, Terry and his crew had a problem. They only had enough supplies to last them about 27 months. When time was about to run out on their lives, they luckily found an obandoned module drifting around in space. This space craft served as a wonderful supply station for the crew and allowed them to stay up their for much longer than they thought they would. Think about what would have happened if the earth didn't have this sort of watchful eye over them at this crutial moment. Afterall, these zombies can be anywhere.

Sensei Tomonaga: Kyoto, Japan

Don't let the "sensei" part fool you. This guy is about the toughest person I have ever met. Tomonaga first heard about the outbreak while he was working at his restaurant. His boss called in a meeting for the whole staff about his plan. Convinced that there was no way to survive while the zombies where advancing towards him, Tomonaga decided to set out on his own. He set out at night and began hitchhiking his way down the roads in search of The Hiddaka National Park. Many people were more then welcome to give him a ride. The drivers along the way would talk about all of the outbreaks that were happening in Sapporo and longed for the authorities to start to tell the people what to do. After arriving in the national park, Tomonaga began to familiarize himself with the area, finding hideouts that could suit him just in case a zombie came about. Armed with just a makeshift shovel, Tomonaga was able to kill hundreds of zombies and still have the respect to bury each and every one of them after he did so. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, he is blind.

Kondo Tatsumi: Kyoto, Japan

Kondo, in my eyes, seemed like a typical monk. He was clean-shaved, tanned, and bald. But I could have never imagined that interviewing a monk would be this exciting. He told me that Japan had been brought up differently then The US had. Japan was taught to memorize seemingly useless information about useless subjects. This is part of the reason that the monk such as Kondo, used laptops and other very high tech devices. Kondo told me that when the outbreaks started happening in Japan, nobody was worried. The monks and everyone else thought of the zombies as very interesting and studied their habits rather than plan an escape. This was a terrible situation. It wasn't until the zombies were knocking at his doorsteps that Kondo began to think of an evacuation plan. Since the hallways were swarmed with zombies, he decided to go out the window. He decided to create a makeshift rope out of bedsheets because he was on the 19 floor of the monastery. He would repel a few floors down, gather moor sheets for his rope, and continue on. Although this "all brains and no brawn" upraising seems rather useless in a zombie war, I guess we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

Gavin Blaire: Parnell Guard Base, Tennessee

Gavin was probably one of the most misleading individuals I have ever interviewed. After hearing her story, it was hard for me to believe that a woman this seemingly harmless could have gone through this much. She flew a Raptor FA-22 and her teams main objective was to deliver supplies to malnourished areas. Her and her partner where flying a routine flight when all of a sudden, the plane took a nose dive into the ground. Gavin luckily made it out alive. Her partner though got his parachute caught in a tree and was eaten alive by the zombies below. Just when she was about to give up on all hope, her radio started beeping. The person calling in was from the Skywatch system. Their job was to call in to pilots that had crashed and guide them to a rendezvous point or civilization. Along the way of her journey back, Gavin was given advice from "Mets Fan" such as not to go near cars, how to jump from a tree, and which direction to go. Such little advice was crutial to help Gavin make it out alive. At one point, Gavin broke her ankle by landing on a rock. Even with her hope in shambles, she was able to make it to the rendezvous point with the guidance of a watchful eye.

Bohdan Taras Kondratiuk: Odessa, Ukraine

Today, I interviewed Bohdan Taras Kondratiuk. I found him at a hospital where mostly of the patients suffer from respiratory disorders. He seemed to have it very bad here and might not make it longer, every time he coughs, blood spurts from his mouth which is not a good sign. Bohdan also talked of a very serious war story in Zhitomir. Their mission was to watch over the bridge and make sure that no zombies were getting over across the bridge to the other side while at the same time, letting thee refugees get over that aren't harmed. As you can imagine, this was a complete failure. How can you expect to hold out thousands of advancing zombies while at the same time checking every single one of them for bite marks. First of all, husbands weren't just going to let their wives strip down naked and watch as random 25 year olds check them for bite marks. So you see, this was a fiasco of people trying to jump into the water and swim across as other people would just try to run past the guards. After the soldiers radioed in and called for help, four jets swooped low over the bridge and dropped RVX, an oily rain that gets deep into your pores and basically shuts down your central nervous system. It seems as though they had given up on the evacuation and decided to simply bomb them. Thankfully, Bohdan made it out alive, others.........not so lucky.

Philip Adler: Armagh, Ireland

Today, I interviewed a Philip Adler. I found him in the pope's wartime refuge from when he traveled from Germany after the end of the war. He told me a story that took place in Hamburg. Along a crowded road, zombies were pinning down refugees that were trying to escape from their houses and hotels. Their mission was to go into the town, establish a command post, and hold off the zombies until help could come and rescue as many refugees as possible. At first, they were able to hold of the zombies for a little while until ammunition got low. The very effective water cannon ran low on pressure and they couldn't hold on much longer. Just then, an order came in to tell them to retreat. That was usual but the problem was that they were not to tell the refugees that they were leaving nor rescue any of them. Philip, being taught to obey your conscience objected to the order. When Philip objected, the General told him that if he would not cooperate, him and his soldiers would be charged with treason. Resentfully, Philip and his men fled to a rally point out of town. After they had fled, General Lang commited suicide, finally realizing how hard this battle would be to fight.

T. Sean Collins; Barbados, West Indies Federation

Today, I interviewed T. Sean Collins. His job seemed to be some sort of bodyguard for celebrities. You couldn't tell by the look of him that he was a bodyguard; he was clean cut and didn't seem to be some crazed war veteran. I thought this sounds just like those high-maintinance celebrities thinking they need a bodyguard for a zombie war. Everyone was dying and one big tough guy wans't going to protect you from the thousands of zombies. Anyway, he was talking about all of these different celebrities that would pay him to just stand by them and make sure they didn't get bitten by a zombie. Without naming names, I was easily able to tell tell that some of these celebrities were Paris Hilton, Jeff Foxworthy, and Larry The Cable Guy. The real problems struck when T. Sean went to visit his boss's house. His place was a palace with high walls, motion sensors, dehydrated food, water, and weapons that if taken advantage of, could hold off the zombies forever. But the thing is, this guy put cameras all over his house and televised his whole experiences at his giant estate. So guess what happened when the zombies came? Yup, everyone came rushing to mister high rise and destroyed his house with nearly all of the celebrities dying in the process.

Sharon: Topeka Kansas

I first met Sharon at the Rothman Rehabilitation Home for Feral Children. She was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever layed my eyes on. She had long red hair, green eyes, and a wonderful body. Anyway, these traits of hers were halted by her lack of grammar skills and the fact that she talked like a 5 year old. Her story began at the local church in her town. Her dad had told her and her mom to wait for him at the church for safety reasons. There were many other families in the church including the pastor that tried as hard as he could to calm everyone down. There were families with guns and other weapons. These weapons were brought from out of their houses to protect themselves from what was to come. One of the ladies with a gun was Mrs. Randolph, a large, soft armed, blood-stained woman who had just lost her daughter to a zombie. When everthing was starting to calm down, zombies suddenly began breaking through the windows and forcing everyone to try to leave the church. After the lights blacked out in the church, an arm grabbed her and brought her into the parking lot just as a zombie was about to. It turns out that lady was the softy-armed woman that had lost her daughter. Sharon never saw her mother or her father again.

Fernando Oliveira: The Amazon Rain Forest, Brazil

Today, I just interviewed a man by the name of Fernando Oliveira. Let me tell you, it was not easy getting there. I had to be blindfolded just to meet with this drug-addicted "doctor". This man was not exactly the nicest person I have interviewed. From the story he told me, he seemed to be the bad guy almost. He started the story off by talking about how hearts and other vital organs were being shipped overseas from God knows where and weren't even tested for the walking plague but only for HIV/AIDS. A man named Herr Muller was requesting a heart transplant because of heart ailments. The problem was that he had a rare genetic defect that flipped his organs on the opposite side of his body. So, he had to receive a very rare heart from China that was conveniently infected by the plague. After Herr's heart transplant was complete, he slipped into a coma. While Fernando's assistant was attempting to revive him, Herr's eyes shot wide open as he dug his teeth right into the doctor's arm. Fernando, acting out of instinct, ran to his car, grabbed his desert eagle, and blew Herr's head clean off. Although Fernando sounds heroic, he seemed to be only doing these surgeries for the money and he even told me straight-faced that he was glad that his assistant died. Hopefully karma won't catch up to him in the long run.

Kwang Jingshu: Life behind the Knife

Today, I interviewed an old medical doctor that had seemed to have seen his fair share of troubled patients. He told me of an old land that he had just recently visited called New Dachang. His first experience in this remote village was a haunting one. After getting a call to go see many ill patients, he traveled to Dachang to realize that there had been strange bite marks that resembled the characteristics of human teeth. They also had symptoms such as high fever and uncontrolled shaking. The villagers didn't seem convinced of this at first and explained that they did not know what happened. Their minds seemed to have changed a little when Kwang moved a little farther into the village to discover a boy that was going completely insane. This boy, after being tied down and shackled, managed to get his arm torn off by insignificant pressure applied to his arm. He also told a story of him performing surgery in the line of fire. This very resourceful doctor would have to lean over the man's body every seven seconds to protect it from shrapnel. As it was a very informative and graphic first interview, I have a bad feeling I'm getting just a mere sample of what is to come.
