The Magic Kingdom: from the journal of Brian S

Not knowing what to expect, I decided to take the over land route to the Magic Kingdom, rather than drive up to the front gate.

I planted a few claymores and other nasties on my path to hopefully slow down any pursuers if I ran into a large pack of zeds or other unfriendlies.

It took me most of the day, but I finally got to the Magic Kingdom with a few hours of light left.

I came in through the woods by the Haunted Mansion, and carefully made my way through to Fantasy Land.

I’d tried to plan out how I would handle the various possibilities as far as encountering people and/or zeds go.

However, I totally had not expected this.

Absolutely nothing.

I mean Fantasy Land looked like it had been a major war zone. Bullet holes, scorch marks, you know the usual post apocalyptic landscape.

But there were no bodies anywhere.

Also no people, and no zeds what-so-ever.

I honestly wasn’t expecting a lot of zombies, but I’d figured that if the government wasn’t here, there would be a few walkers stumbling around.

I went to Cinderella’s castle and searched around until I found the entry to the apartment inside.

I made my way up, and set up my observation post.

I spent the next two days carefully observing each of the park areas from my perch on the castle.

Still, there was no sign of anything.

Frankly, it was really starting to freak me out. I mean the battle damage shows that there had been some zeds. This means someone cleared them all out, and cleaned up all the bodies.

So who were they, and where are they?

Also, why had no other zeds stumbled in here?

I spent the next day exploring a couple of the buildings nearby.

I found more signs of battle damage, but still no people or zeds.

Tomorrow I’ll go to one of the restaurants and find an entrance to the tunnels that run under the park.

The Voyage Home

“Alright Night, here’s the deal.  I wasn’t able to get very far into that tablet.  I was only able to figure out a few things.”

“Like what Nic?  Anything worthwhile?”

Nic smiled  “Depends.  Do you consider names of low ranking officers and the location of a potential base wothwile?”

“You’re kidding, right?”

Nic handed me the tablet, and he wasn’t kidding.  Listed there on the screen were three names, and a set of coordinates in the USA.

I thanked Nic and my new friends at Hollinwood, and gave them a comm link so they could contact us at FEMA whenever they wanted.  I didn’t want to leave, but I missed my friends at FEMA.  Plus, with the news from this tablet, I needed to start investigating the coordinates.

Making my way through the city back to where I left my boat, I got the feeling I was being followed.  Looking behind me, I could see a shadowy figure hugging the buildings.  I took a sharp turn down an alley and hid behind a dumpster.  when the figure reached the opening, I could tell it wasn’t a Zombie.  Readying my Charbroiler, I called out.

“Who’s there, and why are you following me?”

“Night? Its me, Kadie.  I want to come with you, Nic and Kate didnt feel right letting you go off on your own.”

I emerged from my hiding place, and looked at her. “Alright, lets get moving then.  I want to get to the docks before nightfall.”

We made our way forward with little to no communication.  We get to the docks with no problems, untie the boat and cast off.

“Alright, Kadie, here’s the deal.  If you are going to be coming with me, you have to do what I say.  It’s going to be a few days before we reach land again.  If you have issues with taking orders from me, I will take you in closer to land and drop you off and you can go back to the cemetery.”

“No, I’m good, lets go.”  she said, smiling from ear to ear

“That’s what I like to hear”
