Week 1
Strange things are happening. Thank goodness for the internet and information age. Twenty years ago, this could have been hushed up. But now, now there is a camera in almost every hand. So far, the mainstream media isn’t touching this one. I don’t know if it’s...
Week 2
Well, I was right. I hate being right. Things are definitely getting worse. The number of “official” infections is over 100, up from the previously reported 15. 10 infections on US soil with more sure to come. All US patients are being airlifted to the closest...
Week 3
The outbreak continues to ramp up. Not sure on the current count of infections, but I know it is exponentially higher than last week. Even the news outlets have stopped trying to give accurate numbers. The last update I heard was 3 hours ago, and at least 500 ...
Week 4
The number of infections continues to rise, but no real "new" information. There are only a handful of countries that remain infection free. Some countries are beginning to enforce travel bans. Nobody in, nobody out. Our own government is hinting that its prob...
Dear Zed - 10/27/23
If you have a question for Zed, please email dearzed@shamblingbraineaters.com. My friend found this book: Dear Zed, my friend recently took a vacation. She collects rare and unusual books. While she was in [REDACTED] she found this odd little book shop. Whil...

Week 5
Still no word from Tony (the contact I mentioned last week). I'm starting to get a little worried. It isn't like him to go completely dark without at least a heads up. A few of my other friends have gone offline as well. On the other hand, there seem to be "ro...
Week 6
Well, this is pretty fucked up. When I was a kid, I caught chickenpox. While I wasn't allowed to go to school, several parents brought their kids over to play with me, I guess the other parents wanted to "get it done and over with". Seems like a bad idea to ...
Crushed
Three weeks out and the last fifty miles seemed like an eternity to Jackson Parish. He had driven that stretch of I-72 between Champaign and Decatur more times that he could count. He could almost drive it with eyes closed. As tired as he was, he might as well...
Dear Zed 12/1/23
If you have a question for Zed, please email dearzed@shamblingbraineaters.com. Suffering insults: Dear Zed, There is an individual in my "social circle" who is a real prick. I typically wouldn't associate with him but unfortunately I can't just avoid him. At l...
OCDZ Week 7
I had to take some time off from my own well being. Things are just getting too crazy out there. More people are getting sick. A lot of people are really freaking out and nobody really knows what's going on. I'm tucked in nice and cozy in my little fortress he...
