» Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:02 am Day 1
The world is a vampire, it drains the life out of you, and uses your body as decor. I can only imagine the old world, before the great war, before we all died or mutated, before rad-res pocketed the landscape and contaminated our food and water.
I am the last survivor from my settlement, we were all killed by a attacking group of raiders. My wife May, and my two daughters, Eden and Jan, are dead. Everyone I knew is gone.
With me I have a pistol, with 34 bullets, a hunting knife, 3 days worth of food, a USA map, and my dog, rebel. My journey will take me from burley Idaho, to San Francisco California. My first stop will be twin falls, a hub town near my abandoned settlement, then I will take an unmarked road to highway 80, the 80 will take me all the way to SF. There are several small towns on the 80 which I can stop, if they are still there.
Day 2
I spent the day in twin falls, it was inhabited by the typical wasteland people, merchants, travelers, and a sharif names Big Sall. Big Sall is a friendly but gruff person, and he was polite enuf to give me a hunting rifle with 3 shots, and 400 caps to start my trip. He gave me the key to a shack, witch I am going to spend the night in. I also met a merchant who is traveling to Spring Creek, a supposed oasis about half a day past the 80, he agreed to take me with him for 200 caps.
Day 3
I am traveling with yesterday's merchant, he estimates 9 days to Spring Creek, I have 1 day of food left, my guide has 6 days of food. We will run out of food before we reach Spring Creek, I am worried we will die of starvation.
Day 8
We have 1 day left of food, and 4 days till Spring Creek.
Day 9
We have no food. Today, the merchant told me his name, it is Ron.
Day 10
I killed my first man. We found an EZ-Mart shopping center, but it was being guarded by a hermit who approached us with a golf club. He hit mrs in the leg before I could shoot him, my leg is broken, Ron used a baseball bat he had and tied it to my leg for a splint. We then raided the EZ-Mart, we took all the food we could find, we also took 2 cans of propane. Rebel ate some food today for the first time, with our low food supply we had not been able to feed her.
Day 11
I said my goodbye to Ron and gave him his 200 caps. He has about a day to travel to spring creek, I wonder if he will find his oasis, or if it was destroyed by the war.
By the end of the day I will reach Elko, if possible I will spend the night here. I am traveling much slower due to my injured leg, I might need to spend more time in Elko because of this
Day 12
Elko, frankly, is a dump. It is very small, and has about 20 inhabitants. Elko has 2 bars, a brothel, and a "hotel" witch is only a abandoned house that you can rent rooms from. The room I am renting is 30 caps per night, I, am staying for 2 night to allow my leg to rest.
Day 13
I no longer fear killing men, wasteland inhabitants are savages. I killed the man in a bar fight, he tried stealing my rifle. For this, I stabbed him, and looted his caps, he had 7. I now am going to leave this place and head to Carlin, I will arrive by the end of the day.
Day 14
Carlin, or what's left of it, is completely empty, I now have a broken leg and a long voyage to Lovelock, I'm detouring from the 80 because it has a large kink in it, which only ads extra time to my final destination. I will have to travel the wasteland in open environments until I arrive at Lovelock.
Day 19
I believe there are 2 more days till I reach lovelock, I have not eaten real food for 3 days now, and have been living of the land, eating what I can find. I am left with 13 bullets for my pistol, as I have used my pistol to kill the many animals that I have eaten. My diet consists of lizards, snakes mutated rabbits, and anything else I can find. I have stared getting "the shakes" from drinking to much radiated water, and rebel has lost most of her fur. The wasteland is a horrible place to be, and I wonder why I continue to live. If SF is still in existence, I believe it will be an oasis and shelter from a toxic world.
Day 20
I am loading my hair and fingernails, the radiation is taking effect on my body. I hallucinate every now and then, radiation can kill, it's just a matter of time.
Day 21
Lovelock is a slave town. I will not stay unless I have to. The slavers are sly and cunning people. I knew a slaver when I was a young boy, my father and him did business, then one day, the slaver killed my father for no apparent reason, except for his spare change
Day 22
I spent the night in lovelock, it was a horrid night, screaming and the sound of death filled my ears, but, it was free, that's good, right? I spent the night in an empty car, and it seems to work, but that's my secret. I also bought a slave girl with my remaining caps, her name is emma, and she's 13 years old. She won't talk to me.
Day 23
I traded my canister of propane for gas, tomorrow, I will start the car and leave.
Day 24
We drove off with a bang, everyone was shooting at us, but we made it. Now, I think we will head to Reno, the ride should be smooth.
Day 26
Reno still lives, so to say. The community is thriving, and the casinos are too. I freed Emma and gave her my pistol, and it's renaming ammo, I also gave rebel to her, I hope they make a good pair.
Day 37
I made it to San Francisco.
Life is great
See ya~
