-Journal Entry 3, December 8th, 2030:
It's been over a year. Ratio of infected to clean is now 85-15, growing everyday. It's now just me, Eliza and my father. Ethan was killed in July. He ingested the blood of a Lurker when we were overrun in one of our temporary houses. My mother was killed when she was badly cut and the blood of a Lurker made its way in through the wound. Ethan was the first time that we witnessed The Switch for ourselves.
The Switch.
First, the newly infected become hostile and easily angered, then quickly become hungry for anything in sight. Before they reach the final stage, they cease all movement and thought and become statue-like, before they become rabid and unstoppable. We've discovered that The Switch can take hours, days or weeks to happen in full.
Ethan took three weeks to fully Switch. Mom took two days.
At this moment, we're cooped up in a house in Kansas where we've been for about a month. There is still no cure and no ending of the virus in sight. More are killed every day, most losing hope and their will to live and let the infected overtake them. Aside from the obvious Lurkers covering the earth, we've seen more than one odd thing happen. Many organizations and cults have developed over this year and we've had our own share of run-ins with them. We still haven't given up hope of survival, but everyday it is getting harder and harder. For now, all we can do is keep moving and keep fighting.
