Live from The Bone City
Good morning, Central Texas. This is Joseph Morocco coming to you live from The Bone City. Weather today is reaching 95 in Austin and 98 in the Hill Country. Despite my best efforts, I'm still sleeping alone, and obviously I still have power. Broadcasting on all channels accessible to me, this is your Zarth Report.
It felt pointless, but I did it anyway. Keep up the humor. Keep up the mood.
Tamerlyn! Baby! I think we have a deal! As part of my daily routine I will now be reaching my slimy fingers across this great state as far as I can, and inform all of you that there is a badass on the loose, and his big sister and her lesbian friend are looking for him. Connor Graves, if you're out there, I could use a hand, buddy. It's been a heck of a long time since anyone but me moaned their brains out in here, and if I can find you, your sister will bring back my girl. So if you're anywhere near us, take a stop by.
Can someone get sick from loneliness? Can the longing for feeling truly make someone ill?
In other news, the former Dragon Nation population arrived here last night - welcome to the family, y'all - and the Red Dragons headed by Carren Borgothaus and Tylar Cunningham, which don't sound threatening until you realize they're almost Malcolm Reynolds and Zoe Washburne, are supposedly making their way to Lago Vista and Lakeway. Just two suburban kids making a name for themselves as mass murderers. Ah, young love, am I right? Havens, please watch your backs.
You just may be the last sane ones out there. Don't give up, please.
Gotta say, though, I'm way sorry, Wallace. She seemed like a pretty great girl til we found out she's a bit of a bitch. We will all miss your midnight chatter. I know it helped out an insomniac like me get through the hard nights.
Because it feels like the world is ending for real this time. I need to hear you talk to keep me from wanting that perfect silence that I know just how to get.
I would like to make a formal petition stating that we start naming things with Zs at the beginning 'cause it'll sound cooler. 'Cause, y'know, zombies. Or should we go with W for Walker? I mean, I like Walker, it's pretty awesome, but guys, we are missing out on a comedic opportunity, here. We only get one shot to make this little life into a sitcom! We've already got Radio shows, folklore, status, hierarchy, we're halfway to becoming a Lifetime movie! Or an ABC series!
Or a column in the paper, right next to the obituaries.
Speaking of, has anyone heard from the rest of the world? I'm uh... I guess you could say I'm getting lonely.
Beyond lonely.
Population report from the Capital.
Here we go again.
Round Rock is now a Dead Zone, and Hutto, and I think the Bubble now too. And the Northwest Hospital has stopped talking. I hope it's because you're on your way here with all you've got. Like I said a couple days ago, supplies are running out, people are getting sick, and I'm kinda worried that heatstroke will become more common now that there's so many people here. So if you wouldn't mind, maybe split up into every ambulance, fire truck, other big car you've got, load up on everything you've got left, and head our way. Please.
I need you to tell me whats wrong with me. I need your Morphine, I need your Melatonin.
If anyone is interested, The William-Doty group stopped talking too, and the Bob Bullock kids. I'm sorry, and you will all be missed.

AdventureI guess when apocalypses start, Jezebel thought, People forget to be humane, and just focus on being human. -- I think a Walker is like a Schizophrenic, they've got another soul living in their head that's doing this to 'em. I think that's why they...
