Day 8

Sitting in darkness all night with nothing but the distant sounds of the infected moaning and shuffling along outside is a very frightening and worrying thought. You can never rest or try to ignore them, its like they are calling out to you, chanting in a choir of the dead. I heard movement in the flat below us so I assume we are not alone. The thought that others are still alive with us makes it easier to endure the endless boredom we all have to put up with. You really only appreciate the little things when they are gone. Looking out the window, seeing all the fire and smoke you just wonder when the fire brigade is going to turn up, it soon comes back to reality that all emergency services are gone. Our freedom is gone, pretty soon the power will go and everything else we rely on will also be gone. We have all became slaves to luxury and technology, even to the point where it rules our lives. When it all gets taken away and the lights go out, it doesn't take long before most people turn primitive, dangerous and unpredictable.

The wife isn't doing to well, she started to get ill last night. She has a bit of a fever is complaining of headaches, and spent most of the day asleep. If only it was easy enough to just call a doctor out, but again relying on things that no longer exist is something that is hard to get used to. The idea of being isolated and having to rely on only yourself is a huge weight to bear. I am just hoping its a general illness and not what I fear it could be. I am keeping a close eye on her, caring and making sure shes okay. I took a pic, I hope she gets better soon I couldn't bear to lose her, in fact I don't even think I could do what is needed if she changes.
