Entry 3: We want you!

Dear friend,

It has been a few days since I have been able to write to you. I have been surprisingly busy. Kinda hard to believe since there is nothing to do here… Anyways while I was out the other day, I came upon what I assume use to be an old printing building. But the only thing I found inside were boxes of  news papers. The newest paper I could find was from about 2 years ago. It seems that this building was still in operation even after the blasts. I decided to grab a few of the newest papers to take home with me, so I would have something else to read besides the only book I own “Unicorns for Audrey”. I really love that book, but when you have had to read it over 20 times. It really gets old. So when I got home I opened one of the papers and I found an interesting article on a military base. The base was only on the other side of town. It said that it was still in operation and was working on assembling a team to rebuild the city. I got really excited and then I remembered that this paper was over 2 years old. Well I had nothing else to do in this wasteland. So the next morning bright and early I went searching.

And I found it. I could not believe my eyes! The building was in perfect condition. I stood in amazement for several minutes and then entered. There were people inside! I felt my heart pound with excitement. I was not alone in this forsaken place anymore! I could feel tears of pure joy begin to well up in my eyes. I figured this was not the best time to start break down crying, so I sucked it up and found my way to the Generals Office.

When I entered the office of Jack Bunch, I think he was more than a little surprised to see me. He got up from his desk and introduced himself. I told him I was interested in joining the team that I had read about in the paper. For a moment he was quiet and then he nodded. He then explained a little more information about the ZHD(Zombie Horde Destroyers) and what it would take for me to join. After I agreed to all the conditions, he sent me immediately to their medical facility.

The doctor there put me through a whole line of tests. She said she wanted to see how bad my muscle degeneration was. I had never thought about that before. She said I was in the very early stages but it was treatable. I was quite relieved to hear that. After she was finished, she told me a nurse would be coming in with a some medication that I needed to take from now on.

The nurses name was Ian Bowler. We shook hands and then he explained the medication I was going to be taking. He said it would help to reverse the muscle loss. Now I am not sure if it was the fact that I had not been in human contact with anyone for three years. But the moment we touched, I felt this wave of calm rush over me. He had a very gentle voice, and my friend, I think I may have a small crush on him. I came up with question after question to keep him in the room. I think after a little while he finally started to catch on and offered to walk me home. I told him it was all the way on the other side of town, but he did not mind.

When we finally returned to my place it was almost dark. I thanked him for walking me home and gave him a hug. I did not want that hug to ever end. His warmth against me was almost magical. I was about to say goodbye and it dawned on me. I couldn’t let him walk home alone in the middle of the night! I explained what had happened to me just a few nights before. He agreed it would probably be best if he stayed.

We spent entire night talking. I think he understood how starved for conversation I was. I was a little disappointed when the sun began to rise. He said he better go and I nodded. That brings me back to you my friend. I couldn’t possibly forget to write to you about my amazing day! I would write more about my feelings for Ian, but I am so terribly tired, I must wait until next time.

Goodnight Friend,

-Macy
