Chapter one: Hands stained red

  Content warning death, blood and gore and stuff that will make you feel antsy so if you can't handle that don't read this book now for the better more gutsy readers enjoy.

  Voice log day 1115, I found a book. I'll read out loud so I don't need to bring it with me; it's falling apart so not like i could bring it any way. If you're reading this, then I'm sorry; I failed, I could not manage to stop them. You’re the last hope because if you're reading this, that means you're still alive; you're not gone yet, that means we still have a small chance. I'll brief you on their known weaknesses. They don't have much; believe me, I should know.

  “No.1: they are weak to fire.”

  “No.2: they are slowed in direct sunlight.”

  “No.3: if they get too hungry. They will eat one another.”

  That is all I know.

  There are 3 types:

  First, the white ones, they are fast but are not that strong. If you can predict them, you can win.

  Second, the gray ones; they are slow, but strong. Just run if you see them. You can't beat them in strength.

  Third, the blood red ones; not much is known, but what i know is they’re the only ones that aren't weak to fire or hunger, they are fast; faster than the white ones, stronger than the gray ones and they can't be hurt by bullets. They also have amazing hearing; they can hear your blood running through your veins, the thump of your heart beat, if they are near, you can't run, you can't fight, they will find you. You can't win, don't try.

  All you can do is try to hide and hope it does not hear you; if it does, you're dead. Dead before you know where they came from, just pray you don't run into them. I know I said not much was known about them, I meant we don't have any way to find out how to kill them. We do know one thing about them though they can't see well so just hide if you know one is near its all you can do that's all i can give you to help your on your own now. Well that wasn't helpful i mean i did get some knowledge but not much not nearly enough what ever not much i can do about it i should get moving again there has to be someone else out there i just know it someone who knows how to win how we can beat them and stop this hell i guess i should take you back a bit my names james and this this is hell on earth it all started about 3 years ago the earth shook mountains fell giant cracks in the earth with moulant lava flowing out the government fell in a matter of days it was every man for them selfs well thats what i thought at least until they appeared they crawled out of the lava thousands of them the killed and killed non stop fighting was futile it was truly the end of the world that was until we found out one way to fend them off well all other than the third type there still unown on how to deal with them but i will find a way i know i will i have to i have to save what little bit of life is left but more importantly i have to get revenge on them all when they appeared i rushed home just to find my family was all dead there lifeless bodys there faces stuck is an expression of agony my mom my dad and even my little sister who was just 3 years old now a days when i sleep i can only imagin there screams there pain how scared they were i just know my little sister was wondering why why she was in pain what she did wrong and i can only imagen my parents protecting her to there last breath them trying to calm her down trying to confort her as they where dying so the she could live just for it to be in vain and i will wake up in a cold sweet every night even after all this time i wish i could have saved them i should have been there but no i just had to leave i had to ignore my mom i wonder what i could have done i might have been able to save at least my sister but no its to late there dead and theres nothing i can do about it no matter what i do no matter what i want i cant go back all i can do is live and kill ever one of them to hopefully help with some of this guilt but that will have to wait its about time i go too sleep “crack” shit what was that “crack” fuck did they here me “crack” they are moving slow so probably not a white one “thump thump thump “ shit its getting quick its speeding up its loud to to fast for a gray to slow for a red i jinxed my self shit “thump thump thump thump” its getting closer im to tired to fight i need to hide but where i mean i could try to climb a tree well here goes nothing “crack “ fuck just barely made it. its looking for me shit there it is i was right it was a white one over there all i can do is pray it does not see me and that it leaves i cant die here not after ive come so far please if there is a god let it leave let it miss me and move on please i dont believe in a god but anything to help me live at this point “HELP! IS ANYONE THERE?! HELP ME, MY DAUGHTER IS DYING PLEASE, HELP ME!“ thats a person a survivor fuck it heard them how could it not “THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!” “it left but only because of that man now they will die instead of me another death on my hands why why am i so weak i can't even protect myself from a white one i only lived because another man died i wont get lucky like this again i need to get stronger.log day 1116 last night was to close i had the dream again of my family's screams but this time that mans was also there im so tired but i have to move it's not safe i don't know why but i keep getting lucky and living but at others lives i want to help them but i cant we would all die if i did i know im selfish but i can't die yet not till there all dead and that includes the red type three i promise i will prevail.log day 1117 it's getting cold i do wonder if there weak to fire would they be weak to water like ice or snow i'll have to find a way to test that i'll try don't know how yet but i'll figure it out . log day 1118 my idea is to make a spike trap but instead of spikes it's going to be empty and when they fall in to dump a lot of snow in it only question now if how to get them to fall in the hole i also have to make a base it's getting cold almost cold enough to kill i'll have to think and fast . log day 1119 i think i'm going to make a base underground it will hopefully hide my sounds even a little just in case it will also help me keep warm i need to get food like rabbit or other meat if nothing else i can grab some vegetation and store that if nothing else . log day 1120 its done my little hole in the ground is just big enough for me to fit and i have a little pocket in the wall for food it should have enough room for all the food i will need i just need to conserve energy i have also dug the pit to try and trap one of those things . Voice Log day 1121: it started to snow. I need to get wood and fast and I need to set up a tarp to trap snow for the trap.

  Log day 1122: i should have enough wood and it seems peaceful for now when the winter is over i have to continue looking for survivors i know they are out there after that incident i just realized the snow it came fast it went from warm to snow in a matter of days that's weird, somethings off then again what's not now a days. Log day 1123: I heard something that sounded loud but slow. It might be a gray one. I hope that's the case, it will make it easy to get it in the trap. I'll go out tomorrow to try and get it in there. Log day 1124 i did it it went in now for the snow it looks like its in pain but can make any noise but i've heard them scream before its slowing down more than normal wait does that mean that the red ones will slow to and if there in sun light the might slow to the whites speed i can only hope but that's good information to have could save my life one day . log day 1128 i forgot to do my daily log or the past couple of days i was busy the gray is still stuck i think today i'll start calling these thing something other than them how about hell watchers it did look like they came from hell it works for now .log day 1134 i haven't had time to log i'll do better but important info the hell walker i have trapped appears to be changing physically its arms are getting longer and its legs are getting stronger i'll keep and eye on it. Log day 1135 shit that's not good i'm hiding in my little cave for now it cant find me i should abe fine it escaped the pit i made it deeper than it but it jumped out and pulled it self onto a tree to keep off the snow it's quiet it makes no sound i think i made a new one and that's bad .log day 1136 it seems to have left after hearing another noise off in the distance a little i can only pray no one runs into that thing i didn't know that they could adapt to there surrounding however this info will help me find a way to stop them for good .
