Don't look at me like that, it had nothing to do with this stuff… I was studying protein-protein interactions in smooth muscle in mice, using NMR.  Nothing even vaguely related to zombies.  Anyway, I was at last year's Experimental Biology conference in San Francisco, and an old friend of mine was talking about some really weird shit she'd heard of coming out of government labs.  Really hush hush stuff.  Normally I wouldn't put much cred into that sort of thing, but from her, it actually had me worried.  I packed a bug-out bag just in case.",

Our evacuation center was useless… me, a couple other evacuees, a few tins of food, and a few emergency blankets.  Not even close to enough to go around.  The evacuees split down the middle into a few camps, and infighting started.  I ran into the woods nearby with a few others.  We got away, had a little camp going.  They tried to make me their leader, thought I knew more about things than I did because I'd come so prepared.  Like I said, I'm not that kind of scientist, but they didn't seem to understand.  I… I did my best.",
