Three months After

Have settled into life, such as we know it.

It’s clear that no one from the outside will come to help. Whatever happened has happened everywhere. No planes, no sign of any human life besides us.

Number has grown to 765—survivors from Vegas and others that have wandered until they found us. Have made the hotel’s Statue of Liberty visible. A new role for her.

Emergency and urgent task teams have now turned into day-to-day operations intent on creating a communal life. Everyone seems to have found a place of expertise: Food, Clothing, Cooks, Clean-up, Foraging, Power. (I’m working in Power and Theo and I are stocking up any electronics we can find.) He’s working with Entertainment too. Need to have something to think about other than what’s happened. Movies each night on a big screen. Very surreal.

Theo calls it sitting around the campfire, post-apocalyptic-style.

Some smart people have scavenged food from what’s left of the grocery stores and are working to cultivate plants from seeds. Others have gone off in search of farms, trying to find anything that can be saved and grafted or otherwise propagated. Talk about thinking ahead. What a bitch it would be if someone ate the last strawberry, and we didn’t have any way to grow them again.

There’s talk of creating an official governing body. Makes sense as there have already been some incidents. Last night, looters came through to steal what they could—don’t know where they came from, or what they think they’re going to do with the money they took from the casino cash office.

Where do they think they’re going to spend it? Boneheads.

Heard a strange noise last night. Sounded like someone groaning, calling for Ruth. Chose not to investigate.

All the bodies are gone, scavenged by animals. Or something.
