side of a mountain that overlooked the ocean . The castle was where the girl lived . She would sleep there in a room just for herself . She would also eat there . There was no one else around to spend time with her because Once upon a time there was a woman who had a interest in writing stories that had mystery themes or even enjoyed writing stories which were about ghosts and haunting . Her name was Christine and she often traveled from place to place anywhere that the train rails could travel collecting people 's stories and turning them into books . She was quite a popular writer at the time with some of the major book stores carrying her amazing stories . Of course even as a writer she had a normal life outside of her mystery and haunting stories . Her father had asked if she would travel to California to visit her aunt who was sick . She tried as best as she could to make up a million and one excuses why she couldn 't but alas her father was the winner at the end of the argument . She went up stairs and started packing her bags very frustrated and huffing about having to even go . There was a knock on the door down stairs and she was so angry she just ignored it even when her father had called her multiple times to come down and get it . Her father gave up and went to the front door to answer it when he opened it he saw it was Karen one of Christine 's friends he apologized for her not answering the door because she 's in a bad mood today . Karen said to him there was no need to apologize because she knows how stubborn I could be I was listening from the upstairs . I heard Karen coming up stairs and when she got near I started to mumble about how frustrated I was about having to go to California . And of course when Karen came in she was like it 's not that bad it might be fun maybe you 'll find some new material for another book she said . I told her I seriously doubt anything will happen and by the time I get to California my aunt will be fine and it will be a boring trip and uneventful . Then Karen said I have a wonderful idea why don 't I go with you on your trip it might be more fun if you have someone to talk to . I thought about it for a few moments and decided it was a good idea so I rushed down the stairs and said to my fathShe asked if I had any other plans so I told her I wanted to go to the library and find out about Stillwater Town for a book I plan on writing . This was the first time she had heard about me writing books in which I told her some of the book titles I made and she snapped her fingers and said I knew it I saw a book which reminded me of a story you used to tell awhile ago about our home town in New York about a haunted hotel and I said that was my very first book published . She was quite amazed knowing how big of a seller it is in California she said I was pretty famous . She told me where I could find the library and I got a carriage and went to head out Karen said wait I 'm coming too and got dressed and joined me . When we got to the library it was a much larger building then the small library 's at home and they had a massive amount of books inside it seemed to be very empty but all the way in the back there was an old man on a ladder placing some books on a top shelf . I asked him if he could help us and he came down from the ladder and asked what we needed . I told him about the train attendant and how he said you would know about Stillwater Town and what happened . He seemed shocked that anyone would want to know about the town . He first warned us that many people who have tried to go there have gone missing before volunteering any information at first . I said I was still very interested in hearing about it and told him that I 'm a writer of books . He said in the early 1700 's it was a big and upcoming town because of gold which was found in a local mine area but he said as the town grew so did the crime with it . He said there were a lot of violent people who would rush into town to rob and steal from the town 's people and eventually a stranger rolled in one who said he was going to clean up the town . Everyone was very happy about it and as time went on it seemed like he was a hero who was sent to save the town . Unfortunately that wasn 't going to last some of the local criminals got together and set a traThe train conductor told us that he thought we were out of our minds for wanting to go to Stillwater Town but he could not do anything to stop us but advise us not to go since we were set on wanting to go even Karen tried to talk us out of it but we really wanted to go . The train got underway shortly after we all got on and had our supplies and everything ready . The train attendant told us that they would drop us off at the station and come back within a week to pick us back up if we were still alive he said . So I have not been around lately . I was spending some time in california checking on a friend of mine who has cancer and is not doing very well . It was pretty upsetting she did not reconize me at all and we have been friends for a very long time . I did manage to meet many of her other friends who I never met before it was a pretty large gathering of people who came to visit her . And later some of her friends invited me out to dinner and we had a really great time so that ended up lightening the sad parts of it some . I realize I have been slacking on stories I have one which is not finished yet and I will be publishing it soon . I was also invited to play tera online with a friend recently but my computer cannot run anything but ragnarok online and I just do not have time for anything else . But otherwise I got a job recently too and other then being extremely busy everything is going pretty well . I will try to update more often . The year is 2015 the world has faced major economic collapse which has caused a major separation between the rich and the poor people and at the time I thought that this was bad enough and that it could not get any worse than this . But I was wrong something was about to happen that I did not expect . While the fall of the economy the rise of a new company called Global Food Corporation had its rise to power . This company took over the sales an export of all types of food . Of course this did not matter much for me since I owned a farm out in the wilderness away from all the major cities I just made my own food everything from wheat down to fruits and vegetables . Most of my time was spent on my farm . The area surrounding my farm was known as Crimson Falls because of the bright crimson flowers that would grow along the road side . I only spent about one day per month to go to a local town and catch up on what was going on in the world . The season was August and it was a hot summer day I was heading into town to pick up some supplies and some tools so I could fix the radio receiver back home . I headed over to the general store where I was kindly greeted by the store owner who I 've known for a long time . I gave him the list of supplies I needed and while him went into the back to get my order I waited listening to the radio . Over the radio I could hear something which sounded like a warning but I missed part of it because the radio was set to low . I called out to the store owner and asked if I could raise the sound on the radio and he was like sure you do not need to ask go ahead . So I raised the sound and this time I heard the news cast saying that everyone is recommended to stay inside and keep their windows and doors shut because there was a problem with some shipment of food that was delivered to a city which is a few miles from here . They said the government was looking into it . That kind of worried me because I didn 't know what was going on . I asked the owner of the store about it and he said that some kind of disease infected food which was shipped by Global Food Corporation but there was not much information about what was going on . After paying for my supplies I decided it was a good idea to just head back home . When I got back to my farm the phone had been ringing and I ran inside and caught a few seconds before it stopped ringing . It was my friend Mike who I haven 't heard from in a long time after he moved to the city . He asked me if I heard what was going on which I told him about the radio transmission I heard . Then he said you do not know the whole story every store which had received shipments from Global Food Corporation have this problem and the disease is airborne and very infectious to anyone who just breaths in air that is carrying the disease . I asked him if he was going to be okay and he said he was calling to see if it was okay for him to stay at my farm with his girlfriend . I told him it would be fine I said just tryI thought to myself how lucky I was to be living so far away from towns . I went out to water the farm and take care of everything that needed to be done . Then I went inside to fix the radio receiver it did not take me very long before I started to hear news coming from the radio and having it work . The news was a recorded message telling everyone to stay inside and not to panic . I switched channels looking for a live broadcast and every channel I switched to was another recording of the same thing . I tried to use the receiver to call someone who was a few towns away to see if I could even get to talk to him and I was not getting anything . It was like all of the airway 's and radio stations where dead . The phone started to ring so I went over to get it when I picked it up I heard the voice of someone I didn 't recognize . I asked who this was and he said do not you remember this is Tom and I tried to think of who Tom was but I could not really think with everything going on . So he said remember that time where the three of us you me and mike were on the lake with the boat and Tom fell in and I almost ran him over with the boat motor . And that made me remember him but I haven 't talked to him in such a long time . He asked if I was safe and I told him I live on a farm way out in the middle of nowhere . I asked him if he was alright or if he needed a place to stay . He paused for a moment and said that he was okay for the time being but was not sure what he should do . I asked if there was anything I could do to help . He paused and was like um well . And I told him just spit it out and he said well I have a family now and I 'm trying to find a place my wife and daughters can stay too . I told him that is not a problem and he said he was not sure because of how he used to like me he did not want to make me feel uncomfortable bringing his wife to stay at my house . I told him I couldn 't even remember who he was at first let alone whether he liked me or not . He said wait a minute now I was handsome back then and I said sThen we hung up I decided to check the internet to see what was going on . And there was posts from people very upset about the situation but most of the search engines and news websites had very little information some which claimed it to be an attack from terrorists but most of the people seemed to believe it was an attack from our own government on the people saying they have been covering up most of the news and true details . I went to a video website and the amount of user posted videos of the chaos that was going on in towns especially footage of people who were infected was just insane . I clicked on one video and the main in the video said he was already sick so there was no point in him escaping instead he went outside and was filming people on the street . He said the air was thick with the smell of rotting flesh and his video showed corpses of people just laying in the street with no one to even buried them . The people who were still alive in the town were fighting with each other or clawing at houses trying to get people to help them . At the end of the video the man said he didn 't have much time left but warned everyone to stay out of the cities and said by the time this video uploads he would be dead . It made me sick to my stomach to see the horrific way people were dying and that the government was not doing much to help any of them . Another video was clear evidence that Global Food Corporation was tied to the government he provided documents and also said he was a former worker who stated that the government was planning to use this epidemic to get rid of all the poor people . After I finished watching it I thought about saving the video so I could show my friends I went back into it and the video was gone and claimed to be removed by copy write infringement . That made me even more suspicious because the video was brand new I noticed many of the uploaded videos having to do with what was going on were quickly disappearing from the video websites until the website itself was taken down completely . I dThe next morning I checked the video websites and none of them ever came back up . There was also a change with the news websites they were saying that you shouldn 't trust any videos or anything you read outside of their websites . They also said that there was a vaccine which would be distributed that will allow your body to fight off the disease but the military and government were the first of the priority to get it . I heard a car pull up and went outside to see who it was . When I went outside I saw it was Mike and his girlfriend Christine I greeted both of them with hugs they were happy to see me . I asked if they had any problems getting here and they told me it was a pretty easy ride especially since no one was traveling the road at all . I helped them bring their stuff in and showed them to the room they could use . I told Mike about how Tom was coming with his family and also told him about what I saw with the news and video stations and he confirmed how horrible the cities where and said how he was lucky to get out with his girlfriend . He asked me if there was anything I needed him to do but I said that both of them should rest and I went out to take care of the farm . Just before I was about to head in for lunch I heard what sounded like a truck tires screeching and then shortly after a crash . I wondered what that could have been . Mike came out of the house he had heard it too we walked up the street towards were the sound came from . We saw tire tracks across the ground which lead off the road and down into this small creek . At the edge of the creek there was a small army truck pinned against some tree 's and a wild boar which was smashed all over the front of the truck . We went down near the truck to see if there were any survivors but a tree branch had impaled the driver from the driver side of the truck and there was no one else in the truck . Mike told me to see if there was a gas can to empty the gas tank to prevent it from exploding . I found a gas tank attached to the back of the truck and used it to start removing the gas with a small tube I found located within the gas tank . Mike was able to get the army soldier out of the truck and laid him on the ground . Then mike called me over cause he said he found something I looked into the truck from the passenger 's side and saw a crate marked vaccine I remembered about the government saying they had developed a vaccine for the disease I said to mike do you think this could be it and he thought it might be . We decided to take it back with us . We also opened the back of the truck to see what else we could find and there were some creates with weapons and some supplies like flash lights radios so Mike walked back to the house to get his car and brought it back to the location of the truck so we could bring all of the supplies back . While he did that I took a shovel which I found in the back and buried the soldier and made a small grave marker with his dog tags to mark the spot . I road back with Mike to the house and then tried to reach the authorities on the radio about the army truck but everything was still dead I got no responses from anyone . Shortly after Tom and his family came so we didn 't have time to look at the vaccine crate we found we helped them bring their stuff into the house and showed them to their rooms . Tom introduced me to his wife Rose and his two children Lily and Robert who were hiding behind their mother . I adored how cute the children were and I hugged both of them even though they had the look of fear like who is this strange women . They quickly warmed up to me and I could see they really liked my farm out in the middle of nowhere . Then we filled Tom and his wife in on what happened with the army truck and what we found . We sat down in the living room and opened up the crate . Inside was a steel box which was cold to the touch we opened it and inside where vials of the vaccine which were stored on dry ice . Of course we still weren 't sure about whether or not it was safe to use . Everyone kind of feared about what if it was poison or would not work . I spoke up and said I 'll try it first and Mike and Tom thought that was a bad idea and I said you both have families if it kills me it 's not a big deal . Mike and Tom both kept trying to talk me out of it and I grabbed one of the syringes out of one of the other boxes took some of the vaccine and injected myself and said well it looks like it 's too late now . And Mike and Tom and everyone looked like they were angry at me for being so wreak less . I took the rest of the vaccine and put it into the refrigerator to keep it cold and said if I do not die everyone else can use it . That night I felt sick to my stomach for part of the night I was not sure if it was the vaccine or just because I ate too much at dinner but I finally fell asleep . The next morning I was feeling great I woke up early feeling refreshed and energized . I made breakfast for everyone and headed out to take care of the farm . I went out to start harvesting the blueberries which were just ripened for the season . Tom and Mike met me later during the day to help and after we were done I went inside to make lunch . Everyone else decided that the vaccine was safe to take and later that night everyone made sure to take some . I tried the radio again to see if anyone else was out there but it was dead silence . All the radio stations still where broadcasting the same automated messages . But the internet was exploding with people trying to sell stolen vaccine . One website was even auctioning the vaccine and the bid was up to five million dollars . I then realized how lucky that we where to have obtained the vaccine and that I 've kept my farm managed for all these years since even food seems to be scarce with all the contamination of food which Global Food Corporation had sent . I checked international countries and any country that Global Food Corporation had been exporting to have the same epidemic as the United States . Only countries which refused trade like China , North Korea , and Japan were safe from these problems or anyone who was lucky enough to get the vaccine . I was thinking that it might be a good idea to try and catch a flight to another country since I have my passport and documentation but when I attempted to check the flight information there was no outgoing flights because of the epidemic . And other countries closed their boarders to the US so I had no options to do that either . As the weeks past by not much changed on my farm we just continued to manage the farm with no contact from the outside world . We assumed that things must not have been getting any better since the same recording where still playing over the radio like a broken record . But I decided to take a trip into the town that was not that far away to see what was going on . Mike and Tom didn 't like the idea and Just before we were about to bring it out to my truck I heard a noise what sounded like heavy trucks pulling in . Both I and Mike went outside to see what it was and an army truck filled with soldiers drove into the town and stopped nearby my truck . They came over to us and seemed kind of surprised about us not being sick . We were pulled aside and questioned about why we were not sick . I explained what had happened with the army truck and the man and about how we had tried to contact authorities . Then they left us in a room and walked into the other room . The sound of them talking was muffled but Mike said it sounded like they weren 't happy about us not being sick . I told him that can 't be they are the army they would not feel that way about other people . They came back into the room and asked about the other people who were at my farm and asked if they took the vaccine and Mike kind of motioned to me not to say anything . And he jumped in and said that they were all dead . It confused me as to why he said that to them at first but after I asked if we could leave now and he said you 're not going anywhere I got really suspicious . I asked why can 't we leave we didn 't do anything wrong and he made this demented grin and said because you should be dead . I felt like my stomach was in knots and was like WHAT ? ! ? And he was like my orders are to kill anyone who is still alive and wondering the towns . And I was like how is that fair ? He said life isn 't far if you were rich we would not have a problem right now . And I said I am and the officer said if you were you would have your association card and I said I do its back at my house . I said if you give me a chance to go home and get it I 'll bring it here and show you it . He went back into the other room talking to the other officer and they both came back in and said you can leave but your friend stays . I told him I do not know how to drive the trucks stick shift of course which was a major lie and he said alright Mike could drive me I thanked him and said I wouThen I drove my truck and parked it in front of the window causing a barricade . I went to the back of the house and covered all the basement windows using cement bricks . I put enough food down in the basement to last a few days . Then I gathered the weapons and flashlights which we found in the army truck of the guy that went off the road . I prepared them loaded them and got set up . I decided I would set up most of the weapons in the room off to the side of the picture window since it had a good vantage point towards anyone coming from either side of the street . I also went into the rooms with windows and covered the windows using the heavy mattresses from the room making sure to pin them against the windows really well to prevent people from coming from behind . I knew the chance I stood against trained army soldiers was very low especially since the only training I ever had was playing first person shooter video games . It was quite for quite a while I sat in the family room next to the fireplace using it to cook a soup and had my dinner and kept watch on the roads . Waiting in anticipation for the soldiers to come knowing it would not be long . It was not until late at night that I could hear something in the distance that was coming closer . I quick ran into the room and got against the window with the machine gun and made sure it was prepared and the safety was off . I was not about to let them know where I was hiding . The jeep pulled up with the two officers which I could just see the shadows in the moonlight and behind it was a truck with other soldiers . As the officers got out I aimed my weapon at them and pulled the trigger I was not prepared for the kick back of the machine gun and it caused me to spray shots wildly across the targets . Both officers fell to the ground and the men on the truck quickly got out and hid behind the truck . I could hear the officer call out I got hit but nothing from the other officer so I knew he was dead . The glow of the moonlight made it pretty easy to see the officers on the ground but rather then finishing the one off I figured it would be better to wait until the other soldiers tried to save him so I waited . The officer called out to me asking me to come out with my weapon and they would talk . I thought to myself they must think I 'm stupid . I knew if I came out they would just shoot me and in the end I would die one way or another so I didn 't even respond . I didn 't want to give out my location instead I moved from the room I was in to one at the other side of the house . The window was covered by the mattress so I leaned against it just enough so I could stick the gun muzzle out the window I waited until I saw a shadow near the truck looking like he was going to make a run for the officer . I shot off a few rounds in that direction and as soon as I did I quick hit the floor because they returned fire on me the sound of the shots coming though the mattress where muffled . I went back to theThe soldiers who tried so hard to break into the farm where surprised to find only one girl who had held them off for so long . In the end the farm was burned and only the friends of the girl would know and remember what had happened that day or where the location of the Crimson Fall 's farm was located . Years later Tom and Mike and his family returned to the location of the farm to plant flowers as a remembrance of the girl named Karen who saved their lives all those years ago . So I have not written a new blog post in awhile ever since I made the Jack the Ripper story . So I thought now with Easter over it was about time to get back into my blog updating . Story wise I have a newer story that I 've been working on the only problem I 'm having is trying to figure out what to call it . But once I finish writing it and figure out what to call it I 'll be posting it . On the gaming side I have not really gotten a chance to play anything . But I 'm thinking about logging in and checking on my friends at ExistenceRO I know that the owners been working really hard on the game client and that they are getting closer to adding renewal to the server . One of my other friends started playing it too so I 'm curious how shes making out . I also managed to find a job recently working as a greeter in Walmart not really the best job but its something . I much would have preferred something within my field of study but I have not had much luck . Otherwise nothing all that special is going on except that I came up with another story idea for after I finish the current one . Partly it was because of a dream I had recently and thought it would make a perfect story so I have written all the idea 's for it so far . The month was spring the year 1887 my name is Mary Eleanor Pearcey . I 've been living in London all of my life I was born here as was my mother who died while I was young . My father then filled the roll taking care of me of course that didn 't last very long either . My father was convicted and hanged for the murder of another man and wrongly convicted . They only found out he was innocent after they killed him . My life hasn 't been a very easy one but I still have much to be grateful for . A child comes soon and having a child of my own has been a dream I could have only hoped for . I recently moved into a furniture removers shop and I 've been staying with him he also has my heart being with him and having my child is the only things I want in this world . As time draws closer I only grow more and more anxious waiting the day for the baby to come . I keep a diary of each day to keep myself from going crazy of anxiousness . But nothing could prepare me for what was to come of the happiness I believed I would one day achieve . During that December everything came to a crash like a train wreck . I was in the hospital with labor pains ready to have my baby but the doctor came to me saying there was complications and what I wanted to do . Of course I told him I want to have my baby but my life is important he assured me that he would do everything he can . By the time it was over I had learned of the horrible news my baby had died but as if that wasn 't the worst of it the doctor told me I would never be able to have children ever again . I went mad they tried to restrain me . I was screaming and crying and kicking I felt like giving up on my life but the doctors would not have any of that . It wasn 't fair all I wanted was a simple life a happy life one with a child of my own and life has stolen all of that away from me . At first I began to think I 'll starve myself and just die but after thinking about it . I realized it isn 't my fault that my baby died and that I can 't have another child of my own . As I was leaving I noticed a mother who just got her child from the nurse I stood in the doorway watching it only made me even more furious seeing her happy with her new born baby . She saw me in the doorway and she asked if I wanted to see her baby I answered in a vicious tone saying " My baby is dead why should I want to see yours . " A look of shock washed over her face and I walked out of the room and headed outside of the hospital and started my way home . On my way home I noticed the prostitutes lining the streets as if they were mocking me for they could have children but they instead use their bodies for profit . This only set me more in a rage because if I had only had my baby I wouldn 't be forced to feel this way . With the new year nothing good had came I only grew to hate people even more I cut off most of my social ties with my former friends hating them for what they have and what I cannot . The amount of prostitutes and brothels that lined the streets continued to grow and my hate for those people only grew as the number of them increased . I coFuyuko Rodriguez
