Just got home from where apparently all hell has broken loose. I seem to still have internet, but who knows how long that'll last.
Day started pretty normally. TV was out like I said, but still did all my stuff and got ready to go. Saw my brother just before I left, getting home from work. He mentioned something about a crazy person on the subway car behind him or something.
So I was walking down the street, thinking about writing as usual since I'm on a new writing cycle. That may have been why I didn't notice much strange for a while. There was some shouting at the subway station as I walked buy, and I wondered if maybe it was the same crazy guy. Continued walking though. Next strange thing (aside from some guy apparently shoplifting a lemon, but that's not important) was after I crossed the bridge and walked past the next subway station. There were police cars around it. There was also a police cordon around the graveyard, so I had to detour around it. That should have been my first sign, I guess. But I figured it was movie-related, and walked around the detour.
I went to the comic shop, got Mystic Arcana: Magik and New X-Men #39 (but haven't even had chance to read them so don't expect reviews up at
my comic review site. Went to the used bookstore where I bought a copy of Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.
It was in Eaton Centre that things really seemed weird. There were yells, and people streaming out with injuries. I thought 'wow, a terrorist attack'. Police hadn't arrived yet. Instead of walking through the mall, I walked around.
( Read more... )But the important thing is, zombies now walk among us. I've learned what I can. They apparently react mostly to noise and movement that strikes them as 'out of place', but if they're close enough to you, scent does seem to take over. I don't know how long I'll have power, so I need to cook some food while I still can, it may be a long night.
