Journal Entry #11

People don't really change. It's a topic I've mulled over most of my life. But even more so now I feel like it's a fact. If a total cataclysmic event killing a large bulk of the human population, one that stops most functional life as we know, and has completely rearranged our daily living, doesn't change someone then really what will.

Cory remains overly aggressive. Tom and I know it to be a mix of his protectiveness and his matter-of-fact style of thinking. He lets his guard down with Arrayah and I. We get to see the softer side of him on occasion. But he's smart, hard working, and impressive with a gun.

Tom is Tom. Simply how it's always been. Good guy, good natured. A bit of a procrastinator but always the ambassador of the group.

Ian is the nice guy. Classic. Forgetful, nutty professor type. Prone to forgetting stuff or missing the obvious, but brilliant math and tech skills. Always in a good mood and always up for an adventure.

Arrayah is happier than ever but still the same anxious but happy and loyal pup who pouts when she doesn't get enough attention. But she is rarely, if ever, on a leash. If zombies get to roam free, so does my dog.

Brien is still reserved and quiet. Though I get the feeling this who post modern society was a secret dream of his. He keeps coming up with unexpectedly useful survival tricks. Thoughtful mostly, occasionally boisterous. He still seems sad occasionally but he drudges on like a trooper and works very hard.

Suzanne is the one I empathize with most. She and I think similarly. I was very happy when she showed up. She's very knowledgeable, a great planner, occasionally nervous but always composed and soft spoken.

There are so many other people who we knew and haven't found yet. I stay hopeful that we'll find them tucked away safe and secure in some bunker or warehouse.
