Is this the real life?

Hello?

Dan?

Are you real?

I really hope this isn't a sick joke.

I just...I've been...so isolated.

So...

Ok...

Here it goes, my name is Geraldine Schmegecki, but everyone just calls me Gecks. We have people here in the North Florida Quarantine Zone, but I am part of a caravan that delivers supplies between QZ's here in the south. Because I travel so much, I don't get to be around a lot of people. Our caravan isn't so much a caravan as it is six or seven of us in three vehicles.

One called The Scout, it's two people on a motorcycle to go ahead and clear the way or let the rest know if we need to detour. Why two on the bike? One to drive and one to kill. (I'm the passenger of this set-up)

Another vehicle called The Rig, it's a tricked out cargo truck and holds all of the supplies we need to deliver. It is covered in additional armor and spikes, as well as some munitions.

The last one, is called Backup, think Mad Max style assault vehicle, covered in armor, spikes, guns, etc. It is large enough to hold additional weapons and our personal supplies.

Sometimes the caravan is bigger if we have to deliver extra supplies or larger items, but we have found if we travel in smaller packs we aren't noticed as easily by the Groaners. The Screamers and the Droolers are always after us, but there aren't as many of them as there were in the beginning. At least not out on the roads, Screamers and Droolers are mostly by the QZ's now...where there are people. Exiting QZ's is where the most danger lies, especially for us on The Scout.

We just got power back on. We haven't had any for months, at least not since the incident. Too many power lines were knocked over. I kept my laptop though, just in case. I can't believe the internet survived. I hope it did. I hope this isn't a joke. Can someone write back if this is real? I hope I didn't reveal too much of our information to the wrong people, but I want someone to know what it is like. I want to believe this is real. I just...I want to connect to people again.
