1813, San Sebastián
Hello, my name is Barry Williams. I am 26 years old as of the time I am writing this. I'm a British soldier for the 5th Regiment of Foot. I'm also currently hiding underneath a barrel full of rum, just an inch away from death. There are about, hm, let me count... Fourty one of them gray-skinned, flesh-eating, disgusting lookin' bastards, scrambling around town. They've nearly eaten almost our entire troop of soldiers.
We were originally sent on a ship to the town of San Sebastián to join our oldest ally, the Portuguese, in the war. But then, all hell broke loose when one of them bastards came from the grounds and ripped out a huge chunk out of one of our soldiers, then it spread like wildfire. One came after the other, and before we knew it, almost the entire town has turned into a bunch of bastards. Bloody hell, even our most brightest soldier Archie turned into one of them. What a shame. Never liked that fellow anyway.
I managed to escape from the streets of the town, and I headed upwards for the fortress. I came across a few shamblers on the way and somehow managed to dodge them. By the time I made it to the top, I found 5 barrels of rum alongside the cobblestone wall and two cleansed cannons. I immediately ran to the nearest barrel and drunk as much as I could. I also found a book and a quill on top of the barrel, and started writing in it. So that's pretty much what happened from this morning to this night. The ink is starting to run out so, I won't have much more time to continue writing.
You probably don't know me that well... I mean, we've only just met. Even though I've only lived for 26 years, I already have an.. interesting past. It's full of ups and downs. I wish I could tell you more about it but, I don't think I have the time to do so.
I don't know how this ends for me. I don't know if I'll make it out alive or not. But I do know this for sure: I won't die a coward.
- Barry
