Hi, I guess. My name is Jessica Matthews. My friends call me Jess. I'm 22 years old and I used to be a singer. Well, trying to be anyway before the world ended three years ago. I guess I'll start from the beginning.
I was raised by my grandmother. My parents were in the military and they didn't want me to move around constantly so they sent me away to live in the States with her. My Dad's African American, My Mom's Japanese.
Things were pretty much uninteresting until I was about 16, when I found out my Grandmother was a practitioner of Voodooism, a High Priestess to be exact. Now, it's not as mystic as you think. No crazy witch doctors or smokes or crazy shit like that. It's basically home remedies for just about everything. If there were spells she never told me. I do know medicinal herbs and things like that but that's it, she would always tell me crazy ass things about voodooism and what not and I didn't believe any of it until recently and in a second you'll understand why.
She would say, anytime she saw something bad on the news or something like that. "When there is no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth."
Now Imagine my surprise when the dead DID walk
All these years, I thought she was batshit crazy but she was right. I mean, sure Science has alot to say about it but still, alot of people died at once.
I remember being home with my grandmother when the virus took her. I was holding her hand when she died and still holding on when she woke up.
My grandmother was already on her last leg so imagine an 80 year old woman, who couldn't walk more then a few feet, came lunging at me like a goddamn bobcat.
From then on, I've been surviving.
You may be wondering what happened to dear ol' gramma? Well, let's just say, Her skull met with an aluminum bat a few times.
It was not fun, It was not easy and I cried for days, in the house with her body.
I packed up, and tried to find a safe place to stay. I find a few provisions here and there and right now I'm hiding in an old foreclosed house, writing this shit by candle light.
I don't know how many are left, if any. I haven't seen or heard from live human being in the three years since this shit started. I seriously hope I'm not the last one. I'd have to kill myself and frankly...That would suck."
