It's been a day since my last entry and I feel worse, somehow the ill don't seem to like being out too much during the day, enough so that the sheriff had collected all the survivors, including me and moved us to the church in the centre of town, it's well barricaded and there's a few people constantly on guard.

She ran across the street, and the infected saw her, I've never seen a person run so fast in my life. They are so strong, pulled her down to the floor instantly, letting out a scream. Other infected soon joined and mauled the poor woman to death. They don't seem to eat them down to the bone however, maybe it's the way they spread this thing. I think this because soon after, the woman got up, and dashed away like the other infected.

I hope that doesn't happen to me. I'll get back to you when I can.
