Day 28:<\/p>\n
You never drop a team for more than 28 days.<\/p>\n
YOU NEVER DROP A TEAM FOR MORE THAN 28 DAYS.<\/p>\n
YOU. NEVER. DROP. A. TEAM. FOR. MORE. THAN. TWENTY. EIGHT. DAYS.<\/p>\n
It’s day 28 and they’re not here.<\/p>\n
I AM FREAKING THE FLOCK OUT.<\/p>\n
I’m hoping – hoping beyond hope, actually, that it’s because of the zombie infestation.<\/p>\n
Boy there’s a headline for you. “Drop team hopes zombie infestation is causing problems, film at 11.”<\/p>\n
Anyway, go back to two nights ago and I didn’t sleep a wink because the zombies – four of them, spent the night pounding on my door. One did slip through the back entrance that I haven’t sealed up, so I have a pretty bad gash in my calf where he grabbed me and ripped me out of my bed, some nasty bruises, and a few other cuts. Good thing I’ve taken to sleeping with my “sword” under my pillow or I’d probably be dead right now.<\/p>\n
In the morning I was able to get some sleep, but I needed to be outside for when The Company was coming to pick me up.<\/p>\n
I spent all day out there in the hot sun. Walked around a lot. Tried to catch one of the wild horses. Failed a lot. Bruised my tailbone a lot. Looked forward to some painkillers and a hot shower on the ship. Got none of what I was hoping for.<\/p>\n
No. One. Showed. Up.<\/p>\n
So I thought, OK, maybe they’re going to pick me up tonight. I stayed outside with my cows and my chicken\/ducks so I could release them as soon as the ship arrived. No ship.<\/p>\n
Plenty of zombies though, and one skeleton, who was shooting over the fence at me. He accidentally shot one of the zombies so for a little while there was a zombie-on-skeleton battle royale taking place 30 feet from my drop zone.<\/p>\n
That has to be why they’re not here. It has to be that they see the zombies and are afraid to land. Still! They could send down a shuttle, or a rope ladder, or something! We’ve gotten people out of tighter spots before!<\/p>\n
They’ll be here soon. It’s not even 3am yet. I’m just impatient.<\/p>\n
Soon.<\/p>\n
Come on.<\/p>\n
Come.<\/p>\n
please<\/p>\n
please take me home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
