I found this ipad at a library powered off the owner must have been forgetful as they passcode( genesis) was wrote on a piece a tape attached to the back.

Day sixteen 72%
Today I saw Jim Jenkins eating his wife. He was eating her I was within feet but Sharon was dead and Jim was a lunatic he was gnawing at the beautiful face he met at Carisopola high school. I introduced them and he said it was love at first sight I knew they were going to get married....but god what did the event do to us? I don't want to think about Mary and Tom Jim's and Sharon's kids.... I'm done with this goodnight.
Day 37 9%
Found community its a small island in the gulf towers guns food and power. I'm going to switch to paper(power is a valuable resource ipads are not)I have been gifted with a refurbished .357 magnum and 36 bullets. I was forced to move on due to more flesh hungry cannibals they've been infected so I have been told by the town doctor Joseph holland. I finally found a place to call home just after a month. I thought I could never abandon Carisopola but life here has been gratifying I think my search for survival is over.
Day 417 paper
Damn it's been long soon after I got to Jamestown we were raided by some sort of legion we tried to fight back but there armor was reinforced by Kevlar my .357 barely slowed them down...... They killed almost everyone the men(including me, holland and a few others) were took to camp wolf led by the "esteemed" legate Romulus and his centurions. 379 days as a slave 379 days of misery 379 days of watching my friends die 379 days....of.....hunger.....for......blood.
I stopped counting
Found a new settlement called new haven. It's armored there's food,warm water, guns, and shelter.
New journal day one
Holiday gave this to me said it keep me sane and would get rid of the bloodlust and hopefully the nightmares I was given a cot at the northern corner of yet another Florida island hopefully this one won't perish so soon.
I better tell you who lives here besides me there's Anne holiday chief officer of orphans( she handles the kids at the high school all 24 of them)
Gus owner of Gus and comp. hunting store filled with no real hunting gear that hasn't been used in one way or another. Stink the brother of Gus who runs the water treatment plant and fertilization of the farm(roughly a quarter of new haven). Jonah and his family( Barbara, Jess and little cam) run the farm giving us fresh corn, potatoes, carrots, and other choice veggies/grains. Old lady winter who takes care of the garden of Eden ( at the north west corner of new haven) who's family( seventeen or so) run the winter fishery one of the few remaining businesses on the island. Then there's doctor jack holiday(Anne's brother) who fixed me up after imprisonment and his wife laia. Finally out of people whose names I know theres John hart owner of "black gate" or the makeshift armored bus of new haven no getting in or out without moving that bus( you can't blow it up John did that as a precaution against raiders). Jack has informed me of the various names of the mutants. They've been known as mutates, muta-humans, creepers, slow movers, fleshy's and dark ones.
New journal Day seven
One week and things are good I learned some new names. Doug jones NHPD who lives and regulates the old police station and armory (I was issued a .38 with a staggering 24 extra rounds). Jane, joe, June, and Jupiter a family of four orphans( girl,guy,girl,girl). Twix, cola, and cookie more orphans from Anne's school( girl guy girl). The first two chose new names for the "muta-pocalyse" and the third is two and a half who can only say "cookie". jake, Tom, guy, dike, gray, and grey who are all winters and fisherman at the fishery. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly there's Isaac haven the man who founded and saved new haven. The story is he took the sixty mile hike to stop the melting down of the Cyprus hill power plant( visible from across the bay). The way he did it? No one knows not even the million old old lady winter, all she knows is the reactor never so much as boiled since that day and Isaac was never seen again. Unless you go to the garden of Eden and view the statue. After that day the town changed from something key to new haven and the name stayed the same since also I learned the farm has three pigs, seven cows, and an army of forty chickens supplying fertilizer, food and biodiesel.
Journal day 13
Almost two weeks
I worked as a farm hand, electrician and now it's time for a hunt. Two bucks have been seen a couple miles north. Me, Gus, and grey( brother of gray, husband to now deceased marilyn) are going to get I grabbed the .12 gauge Remington same as Gus while grey went with the suppressed .22 magnum.
Day 14
The trip was a disaster we got ambushed by several mutates. Me and Gus got out alive but grey.....grey didn't make it. The funeral was today we put him on a pyre and sent it out into the bay. The strange thing is I swore he moved just a little bit but he moved.... I asked jack about it but all he said was nerves must of moved him and it was just a twitch. I have my doubts to how a twitch could capsize a pyre but then again I'm not a doctor....
Day nineteen
Anne has the flu so I'm teaching the class today all twenty four of them....boy this is gonna be great....
It wasn't bad as I thought it would be they mainly behaved and paid attention to the days lesson how to Hotwire a 1987 Buick in two minutes. The younger ones had trouble with the wires but the high school age group did well(Jane jupiter cola Twix Johnny and cage).
Anne's feeling better after tender care from jack so my teaching career is over......for now.
Day 21
The Holidays say I should start keeping a dream journal to monitor my psyche or something like that...well this is going to be pleasant...nightmares here I come...
Dream journal one
It was the legion raid again it starts and ends the same.
I was talking to Holland about Jenkins...then the first catapult hit....Hollands office was hit....I heard screams...then the second one came...it split into separate parts.....more explosions and screams....then they came like they were straight out of hell....roman legionnaires I shot and he kept on coming....more just kept coming they were dressed in black...with swords at there sides...all around me people were dying....holland took a sword to the knee....then I felt a pain in my head and....blackness.
Day 22
He came back. Grey was walking around town no one knew how.I saw him get slashed by a muta-human he bled out. Then he went berserk he started after Barbara but a .12 gauge slug to the head from Jonah stopped that. When me and jack looked at the body it looked dead( even before the head shot) and it was oozing it had all the characteristics of a mutate. But it couldn't be could it?
Dream journal two
Legion prison again working the factory.
The reason Jamestown couldn't stop the legion is because they modernized themselves. They make armor from titanium plates(at the factory) and dip them into a Kevlar mixture(taken from overrun military bases). Anyway back to the dream. When I woke I was at the base( camp wolf) and was being evaluated by the centurions Rikke and Legate Romulus. Rikke was brute, a six foot seven monster. But even he cowered at "the wolf" legate Romulus leader of the southern state of new Rome. Romulus was only six three but the way the centurions and legionaries acted around him gave me the idea he was a man to be feared more than respected.
I woke up shivering at the thought of him. I fell asleep around an hour later.
At the factory all we( me and other prisoners) just pounded hot titanium into plates( the manufacturing of the armor was the blacksmiths job) and melted Kevlar(the steel plates were melted into swords). The conditions were horrid the factory easily reached temperatures of over a hundred degrees. But you don't want to know what happened to those whose purpose was over....
Day 28
jack took tissue and blood samples. Grey was a mutate and he figured out how the disease spreads. Contact any contact at all and you would be turned. The bacterium are carnivorous they consume blood cells and make there own, so any damage to any major artery will suffice to stop a mutate.
We spotted some mutates outside around the bridge that connects new haven. John hart said there's always around ten to fifteen in a group outside every month or so someone gets "cleaning duty". The reason John called us is because he spotted something different. It took me a while with the binoculars John gave me but I found it. It was a mutated mutate. It somehow mutated itself four extra arms, those arms kept it out of balance so it just spun,and spun,and spun. Over and over again. John said that well deal with them tomorrow.
Day 29
Cleaning duty
Johns moving the bus with a system of pulleys from a clamming boat. Black gate is on a slope, the pulleys let go and the bus goes down so me, John, and gray(greys brother) can clean up.
It went good we got the mutates killed pretty quickly.
The Six armed one just kept on spinning so it was hard to get a good shot off without getting too close. We hit it with a Molotov cocktail. But that just made it a spinning fireball. We finally stopped it with a shot to the neck and it bled out. Jack wanted tissue samples but it was too charred for any.
