Is anybody reading this?
(10:52am) It seems to have died down a bit now, so I think it's safe to write this. I'm not really sure what's going on. Sorry if this is a bit incoherent, but we didn't get much sleep here.

Late last night, we started hearing noises somewhere outside. We figured it was a party at first, but now I think it was just screaming. Ade went outside to have a look, and there were all these guys just wandering around. One of them started towards Ade, and he said the guy just really freaked him out, so he came back inside. Thing is, the guy just started hammering on the door. We tried calling the police a few times, but the line was always engaged. Anyway, we turned the lights off and stayed quiet and eventually the guy got bored and went away. For maybe an hour or so, then he was back, knocking on the door again. So yeah, not much sleep. It's been quiet out there for a couple of hours now.

(11:59am) Ade says there's bodies out there lying in the road. I don't want to go look. We still can't get through to the police from the house phone. None of us can get a signal on our mobiles.

I'm scared, you know. I just want to call home. The BBC news website hasn't updated since yesterday and I don't know why but that's creeping me out more than anything.

(14:24) WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE PEOPLE? The body Ade saw has gone. I never saw it, but there's a big red stain on the ground marking where it was.

(16:32) The plan was to go to Somerfield and grab as much canned food as we could. We barely made it to the shop and back. Our road was clear of those things. They're not people; we know that now. Our road was clear so we thought maybe they'd moved on. Bastards were waiting just around the corner. The Avenues down from Colman, swarming with them. We broke in the back of the shop, so we didn't have to go out where they'd see us. I cut my hand scrambling over the fence, and maybe they could smell the blood. I don't know. Maybe they just saw us in the shop.

Sammy and me ran straight back, dropping most of the stuff on the way. Ade led them off, down towards South Park. That was almost forty minutes ago, and he's still not back.

(16:53) Hazel's here. I'd forgotten she was coming back today, with everything that's happened. Nearly shat myself when I heard footsteps on the gravel outside. She says she had to abandon the car a while back. Ran the rest of the way here. She says it's dead out there. There's cars left in the road, and half the houses have their doors open or kicked in. We've started boarding up the windows. There are too many damn windows down here.

(18:36) Ade's back. There's blood on him and he's not speaking. Sammy said it looks like something bit him. He's sitting in his room at the moment. It's dark 'cause we covered all the windows and won't turn the lights on. Sammy's in there with him; she doesn't want to him to be alone.

(21:08) I guess it's getting dark outside now. I don't know; we found some duct tape and we've sealed up most of the cracks around the boards, so we can put the light on in here without attracting those things. I knocked on Ade's door earlier but there was no response. I guess they're sleeping. I'll wake them up later so they can take watch.

(22:35) I'm not scared anymore. I'm too tired to be scared. Ade and Sammy still aren't answering the door

(23:47) sammys dead and ades one of them now. i went into his room to see wake them up. im so fucking tired but sammys dead and ades one of them. he followed me and i think he's outside my room right now. I pulled the bookcase in front of the door, so hes not getting in. sammys dead and ades on of them and all i want to do is sleep. Theres half a bottle of coke in here and thats it. after that ive got no food or water. i dont even have a knife or anything. i should be scared but im not. i'm just numb. I'm going to go to sleep now. Mabye they'll get in while im sleeping. maybe I wont wake up.

I just want to call home.
