Three days off and things are no better. Terry is sick as shit with no signs of getting better. I mean I kinda guess we all know what's happening, but no one wants to say anything. These….whatever they are, people I guess, attack and bite. They aren't or at least don't seem to have much of a cognitive reasoning like normal people. Not so much to call it mental retardation or some type of brain damage so much as they just react. They seem to move on basic instincts of move, eat, and continue. That's the part that gets me. There is some type of brain activity going on; it just seems to be incredibly simple and brutal. I'll be the first to say it on here I guess. Terry is next. There's no way to be sure how exactly this started, but I can make a good bet that whatever it is it's communicable through the blood stream.I've broken down the differences of humans into three stages, or types. This information is based on the little contact and information that I've been able to gather throughout this crisis. I guess to save time I'll call the seemingly final stage type three humans. Type one humans are the everyday normal ones. Basically you, I, and anyone capable of everyday thinking and functioning on a "normal" level. Type two humans are the ones that have been "infected" such as Terry. They seem to display and incredible loss in their immune system and bowel control. It's as if their body's age and decay with every passing moment. I'll have to watch Terry a little more to see the exact process that he's going through and what develops, but right now on the second day, the effects of this bite seem to grow throughout the body.Now we come to type three humans. This is the final stage of the infection, where all but the vital movements and thought have been reduced to barbaric tendencies. They seem to move in somewhat staggering steps, that I can only imagine is because of the loss of some movement control in the process of mutation. They seem to still desire the need and want to feed on whatever they can, yet they DO NOT attack each other. This shows that somewhere within their minds lies enough activity to discern the difference between types's one and two and type three. This could be some sort of viral telepathy that is communicating on a level that cannot be seen such as the way ants and other insects communicate. It could also be that there is no communication except for visual cues that the differing types give off. Whatever that reasoning is, there is some brain activity on some incredible level that allows even the mindless to continue with basic tasks after the rest of the body has seemingly died.I'm not sure what all of this information says or even if it's accurate. I'll have to monitor the others and see if they bring any useful information to the table. I highly doubt that any of those people will be able to help me much on any level much less an intellectual one. With Terry incapacitated Will and April seem to be the ones that will try take the lead of this group. Will was the one that shoot the T3 that was coming at Brian and since then he's been the one that most of the others go to with questions. I don't know a lot about April but she seems to have her head on fairly well. She's a little older than the rest of us except for Terry and Cujo, but I think she was a supervisor or something. I may be wrong but even though she's still highly scared after what's happened she seems to have this aura of strength around her. Cujo is still in shock over what happened to Terry (they seem to be pretty close), and the others I don't know too well. Brian seems like an alright guy but he seems a little overwhelmed with what alls going on kinda the same as Theresa. I tried to talk to them a bit to see what they were both about. We got into a conversation about the state of the world and if this is some foretold, "Only the strong will survive," mess. Theresa seems to believe this is some biblical prophecy that the Mayans or someone predicted centuries ago. Either way I dropped one of my trusty English quotes on me and the seemed to buy it fairly well. Something about not losing sight of the soul yada yada and that appeased them for now.Whatever. I definitely don't see any of these people leading me through Toys R Us much less saving my life from dead people. Ah well, we'll see what happens but for now I'll hold this info to myself. It may seem self-fish but when the bullets start flying I don't want anyone coming towards me and popping off shots. There will be a need for people that can think on their feet and hold some meaningful purpose in life, and I plan to be one of those people. And besides, there's no reason to scare everyone into thinking tat the dead would be coming back for them. Hell I'm scared from that thought.
