The Day After Tomorrow Week 3.5

by: Diane W

Sat Nov 17, 2007 at 15:17:03 PM PST




Crossposted at Wild, Wild Left (my little blog) and at Docudharma.


Part One Here

I killed a man today.

I actually killed a man today.Dear God.

  He had been firing shots into our house with an automatic weapon. Just missed my son. 

I'm writing on his Blackwater Laptop that I stole out of his truck. Got some cool night vision thingies and some kevlar too. Oh, and ammo.

 


Diane W :: The Day After Tomorrow Week 3.5



I am just numb with it.  I mean I had no problem doing it, it was like I became someone else.  I crept out the back, and because of the hill in front of our house, and the valley in the back, I got right up on him with the sawed off shotgun. I hid my son in the valley, and circled up the hill. My heart was pumping, and everything was clear.  I mean my vision, my hearing, it was surreal.  I became a hunter in one swift series of moments, a swift series of moments that dragged on forever. I pulled that trigger as calmly as a psychopath, almost with joy that I GOT him.

On TV, they never remember to take the weapon off the dead guy, but I sure as fuck did.  Thats when it got bad, man.  He was just a kid, and his whole back was blown out. 

My husband went out this morning to try and get my son some Tylenol or Motrin.  You can't even go to the neighbors to knock and ask, people are so paranoid, they shoot first and ask questions later.  He was going to try & break in a store. I'm really scared for him, he is so brave to try. So I was stuck doing this alone.

Its only been a few weeks, but you know, you don't stock up on that shit when you take it for granted the stores will always be there.  Poor kid is so sick, I can't even think about it. 

I had to drag this other kid away myself, thank God it was raining and sleeting if any of them saw the blood trail or body we would have been fucked. The septic tank.  I heard a long time ago it would dissolve every trace in a short time. Thats when the shaking, crying and puking started.

I'm really weak too, I don't know if its from the Lake water or the deer meat or what.  We have all been puking a lot and really lost weight.  I joke about finally having a really hot body, for a corpse.

Before I pushed him in, I did the impossibly stupid and rolled him over and looked into his face, but good.  Who, how and why had somebody trained this kid to shoot into peoples houses for kicks?  I wanted to spit on him & cry for him at the same time. I didn't spit.

I let one of my neighbors move in so we can protect her.  She had a lot of canned goods. I hate to say it, but it crossed my mind about enough food for my son when she asked, and her bringing more food helped.  But I probably wouldn't have been able to say no anyway, but it horrified me that it even crossed my mind.

How quickly we become animals, eh?

These guys are everywhere now.  I remember thinking we were too out in the boons to be bothered.  Think again.

One of my neighbors was making nice with the Blackwater goons, and my other neighbor burned their house down.  The guy was always a cop-calling whiny weasel anyway, but his wife was nice. I don't think either one got out. No firemen showed, thats for fucking sure.

Whoever had access to those air raid things, that was doing announcements must have got waxed.  They stopped, so all we get is the daily Bush show, still an hour around noon.

Bush says the Middle East has been contained, and that order is coming soon.  I wonder what contained means.  He made some remark about The New American Century being upon us.  I'm thinking PNAC and America East, hell maybe he wants America worldwide. I'm really guessing he used Neutron Bombs, because he assured us that Oil Production has not been compromised.

Then he started talking about Chevez, Venezuala and that Mexicans and South Americans are part of a Latin American conspiracy to bring freedom & democracy to its knees.

I thought, what the fuck, he wants their stuff too?

Anyway, I feel pretty safe writing on this thing, it has security and supposedly is untrackable by gps.  You should see this kid's porn collection. Jesus, I guess all he did was whack off & kill. Thank god he hadn't signed off his last website, or I wouldn't have had a password.

I'll use it today & slip it back in the truck if I can.  They'll never know I had it I hope.  Queen of delete and all.

I don't even know what message I am trying to send any more.  Its pretty much every man for himself right now.  The wreaks and the wrecks.  There is NO safe place unless you swear utter allegiance to the Bush Machine.

And I have become a killer.

Thank God, my son is all sweaty but feels cooler now.  I need to get some liquids down him. I kept him alive though.  It was that guy or us.

I remember a month or so ago, thinking how big and old he looked.  Now I look at his sick and frail 8 year old body, and think he looks like a baby.

How am I going to save him & what world am I saving him to face?

I wonder if I'm going to have to go all Johnny Depp someday, and have the last pistol with two shots in it.... and I bleed for those of you who won't even have that option.

Another Freedom Fighter.

Stu Piddy....a free range human


[ Parent ]
We have clear fields of fire (11.00 / 1)
from the east and the southwest...The claymores we bought and buried during the 80's are going to come in handy if the local militia decides to push a point. The osmotic still is working pretty well for us and as long as the solar panels hold out, we should be set for the coming winter.

  I have melons, preserves, root vegetables and enough pronghorn antelope freeze dried to barter...

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult. E. B. White


if only I had (11.00 / 1)
put up some vegetables.  Careful bartering, one of my friends got held up doing that...

I am so glad I stocked up on coffee though.

These night watches are hell.


[ Parent ]
When I was a little kid (5.00 / 2)
everybody had a bunch of crap stored in their cellers to eat and drink just in case  the "A-bomb" was dropped.  I used to think about it some,  from time to time.  What I would do when the bomb dropped that is.  We were suppose to "duck and cover" or lie in a ditch and cover your head and so on.  Me, I thought that I would just stand outside. I hoped that when my skin melted off my body that it wouldn't be too painful before I dropped to the ground dead.  Somehow in my mind living through the attack and having to live with it's aftermath would be worse then being set on fire during the initial blast.  Only a conservative would freeze dry shit and hoard it for the day after, I thought.  That's when I became an anarchist.  Peace

heh. (6.00 / 1)
I always thought that, like whats the fucking desk going to do, make me evaporate slower?

I was too young to think about aftermaths, but old enough to know the drills were futile.


[ Parent ]
What?!! (7.00 / 1)
You mean you guys don't have an underground concrete bunker with lead and stainless steel linings filled with 30 years worth of canned fruits,vegetables and meats, and of course c-rations, bottled water, sewage pit, beds with plenty of sheets, blankets, and comforters, those crank-up flashlights and DVD players, a library, and large battery power source, for all other essentials like cooking, trickle charged by stationary bike?

Better get busy! Christmas is almost here! (And the 2008 election is less than a year away. Anything could happen!) Oh, and let me know if you can think of anything I've left out. You know 30 years is a long time to wait on a time lock to unlock!

No matter where you go, there you are.


Oh, (7.00 / 1)
did I mention I also have a special ventilation system?

No matter where you go, there you are.

[ Parent ]
heh. (9.00 / 1)
water source? septic source?

Nah, not me, I'm going back to the land.


[ Parent ]
Yeah, (8.50 / 2)
I hear ya! It's really the only way I see to get people back in touch with the fact that they are a part of nature, too. Doesn't matter how they deny it, we are all a part of nature. So my sandhill woman and I will continue to live on the land as we do now, just more closely connected in the future. I just wish I didn't have to work the long hours I do in the factory to keep what land we have.

I see some more hard times coming for many people. On of the keys to survival will be cooperation, that "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" kind of attitude, sharing, bartering, etc. People need to give a damn about each other again. IMNSHO

No matter where you go, there you are.


[ Parent ]
exactly (11.00 / 1)
we are denizens of earth first, humans second, and everything else doesn't really matter.

We are all related.


[ Parent ]
Yes, (5.00 / 1)
All things are related including us humans. We need each other whether we think or feel we do or not.

Well, time for bed. I work a 12 hour night shift, which sucks, but pays the bills. Oh, well, one day I figure something else out. Till then muddle through. Good day!

No matter where you go, there you are.


[ Parent ]
unfortunately, (9.50 / 2)
I see the possibility of "Do unto others before they do unto you." as the more likely attitude to prevail.

Reality sucks; back to my escapist rpg now.

-8.88/-7.08... Go ahead, accuse me again of being a rightwing conservative.


[ Parent ]
Well then: my take on the Sunday rant (9.00 / 2)
I'm not exactly sure what this Sunday's rant is supposed to be about, and it's cold here in the Northeast, so I'm not about to --- ah, hell, I was looking for an excuse to not really reply to anything substantially.  More because I just wanna rant about my own thing.

George W. Bush is still President.  Fuck. 

We're paying $3.35 a gallon for gas here (not too much trouble for me, I have a Honda Civic) but we could have had a tax years ago that would now be funding renewable energy research.  Oh, sorry...Bush is President...I'm sure he would have found a way for a compliant Congress to cough up that money for his war effort.  Never mind.

The average mileage in a new car sold today is less than that of a Model T.  That pisses me off.  I go to the grocery store and take my life in my hands just backing out of a parking space: can't see past those frigging behemoths. 

I've been living with a wonderful woman for 5 years, and we're marrying soon.  BUT she has owned this green parrot for ten years, and they live for, like, 40 years.  This thing is the nastiest bird I've ever seen.  When I vaccuum up the shit that it hurls outta the cage, it gets in the water dish and flings filthy water in my general direction.  When we go away for any amount of time and have to kennel it, there's a big sign on the cage: WILL BITE.  And no, that's not its name.  The only living thing it will not bite is (you guessed it) my dear girlfriend.  I suppose I should be grateful for that, at least.

There.  Now I feel better.  Hey, I can think of something good: last month, I went into the nasty little crawlspace under our house to re-do the insulation on our water and heating pipes.  We've used WAY less oil to date than we did last year at the same time.  And here in northern New York, the Town of Westville has given permission for the construction of a series of windmills for the generation of electricity.  That's good news, huh?  (Some of the good folks up there were against it, because it would "destroy the views" in a place that's as hilly and picturesque as the surface 1957 school desk.)

On balance...I'm glad I'm alive, glad this site exists so I can post pointless little things like this, and WHEEEE, the sun is out!


Hey (0.00 / 0)
I managed to get the Rant posted so you could cut and paste it over there so it doesn't look so empty...(just saying)

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult. E. B. White

I have to take my MIL to the dr tomorrow early, like leave by 7:30 to have her there by 9:30.

Just got back from taking my son to his cousin's overnight, and I will be hard pressed I fear to get back in time for the bus.

Then I have to try & convince the dr she cannot live alone anymore, and explain that she has been falling, although she denies it.

I am just stressed too, honey.

No worries, I will do one tonight and post-date it.

Hope you re-think leaving.

did this post do it? (0.00 / 0)
Its kind of just apocalyptic fiction I ran with from a conversation my husband and I had.

Nothing to be taken too serious.

no D. (0.00 / 0)
not this post.

The general tone of the blog, that we are fucked, they have won, no use to fight.

I grow sick....

I've got a piece written with you in mind.  By Wednesday, I promise.

My will is easy to decide, for I have nothing to divide. My kin won't need to fuss and moan Moss don't cling to a rolling stone. -- Joe Hill,

Well, (10.00 / 1)
We had 16 relatives for Thanksgiving dinner and I had to spend a couple of days sprucing up the joint.  Besides, I didn't say which Wednesday.  Hopefully this one.
