Journal Entry 8

With Emily and Jonathon in charge of finishing off fortifying Diant basecamp, I took the opportunity to take a shower. Man it felt good to have the hot water rush over my body. Maybe it was being outside in the cold all morning, maybe it was the thought of washing away the memories of all the horrible things I had seen, done, touched and stepped in since the zombies came, or maybe it was knowing that this near scalding hot shower could very well be the last one I took. Who knows how long the power is going to last? Shit it could have cut out there and then and I would have been left stark naked freezing my bollocks off whilst stumbling around trying to find a towel with my eyes full of soap. Thankfully that didn’t happen and I was enjoying one of the greatest showers of my life.

There’s something about the sudden change in temperature from shivering cold to boiling hot that causes my body to slip into complete relaxation. The only thing that would have made it perfect was if I was having a bath instead. But there was not a chance in hell that I was going to lie down in my brother’s tub. It had more limescale and dirt than Bigfoot’s shitter. It was difficult enough to stand in it never mind take a soak and so you can put my decision into perspective just remember, I’ve had my feet inside of a zombie’s head.

As the bathroom filled with steam, visibility became restricted to the point that I could no longer see my hand in front of my face. With piping hot water hitting my skin, the sensation was truly blissful. Muscle by muscle I felt the tension ease from my body and I allowed myself to drift, to take myself away from the hell that was now my life. No zombies and no death, just complete relaxation. I took myself back to when Emily was born, to what it felt like witnessing my daughter arrive into this world. To hold her close. To watch as her tiny hand wrapped around my finger, gripping it tightly. To look upon my partner Sarah, her face beaming with pride. Even after a long and exhausting labour she had never looked so beautiful. Then I recalled the moment she looked back at me, smiled her perfect smile and said “We did it” before closing her eyes and falling into a sleep she would never wake from.

You know, I think that is the first time I have ever told anyone other than my brother and daughter what happened that day. How Sarah, my long term girlfriend and mother to my daughter, was taken from us. I’m not sure why I never told anyone. I suppose I thought it was nobody’s business. Things seem kinda different now and if, as Butty thinks, people will read this journal when hell is over, I feel I should be as truthful as possible.
