It’s 2 am. After the fish people slink back through the barn door and into the darkness of the swamp, we sit around and frantically whisper about what to do next. None of us are good at hiding our panic right now, exhausted as we are from fighting the horde of zombies the day before. […]

Drops of Sleep
As days pass and mile after mile is covered we pass the time with idle conversation and silent reflection. I think of my family often and think of whether I will ever see them again. I have a recurring day-dream that often visits me while we amble along. It presents as a sequence of images, […]
Eastbound and Down
It’s 9am on the edge of Turid’s Folly. Rays of sunshine hit my eyes, and they open instinctively. The morning air fills with the beautiful music of songbirds, and my heart, filled with despair the night before, has been restored by faith. She spoke to me last night, in my dreams.

It’s the first time in days that it hasn’t felt like horror. Sigrid takes this respite as an opportunity to make Mari’s […]
Fear and Hope
I have come to know fear. It is at once a crippling yoke and an incredible sense of freedom. Fear is the ever present gnawing in the back of your mind that you won’t be through this, that everything is lost. And fear is also clarity: a vivid picture of forward progress where choices are […]
A Very Close Call
They destroyed the creatures that killed my family. They lit the house on fire and burned all the evil things wearing my family’s bodies. The monsters things killed my family, and then my companions killed the creatures that took my family from me. We run past the Egersund farm, past the Reitan farm, and Hans’ […]
