Salvation was really created with an hour. It was my first stab at horror, I’ve never stepped into the genre before, It’s crossed my mind, but it never got off the ground. I was always fascinated in writing one, and I’m a huge fan of the Halloween series, with Michael Myers. Ever since I was a kid, because I think that was the bastard that hunted me in my dreams.  So, naturally that was the one story I was aiming as the project to take my first steps into horror. Didn’t end up happening,  I can’t really say why, just never had the ambition to do it.

One day, I have some free time on my hand and think about doing a zombie type story, I’m not really sure what to brand it zombie type or whatever. I wanted to tell this story in a different light, like I do with every project, I don’t want to simplify and hand something they’ve seen before. So, I took from the L.N.S.A and used that method in blog forum in the opening scene. This gives the reader a quick fast pace story, yet they’re embroiled in this madness that’s being describe to them, by the people stuck in the epic center of this unknown virus that has struck Los Angeles. Turning your own mother, father, boyfriend, girlfriend, or best friend into this blood thirsty animal.

I think, Salvation has come as a shock to me, seeing how well people have  taking this story, and are asking for more chapters. This story, was just something I felt that had so many roads to cross, it’s one of those stories that I know that there is so much story, that my time is well invested. I just didn’t know people would like it so much.

I can see the series growing even more, giving the reader the whole picture of this entire mess, I want the reader to know what happened, and what caused all this. And that’s why, I can see three more series that splinter after this one, taking place in the same days, but giving the reader a different look of the situation.

I think, the most important thing is to focus where this story should go now. I plan to take my time, and get deeper into the story. As for horror, I think it’s road I’ll cross down the road in the future, right now I’ll focus on Salvation, and the L.N.S.A , Batman: Year One. I have to stop taking more projects as it is, but, what can I say, I’m an addict when it comes to writing.

Strange day, six patients have fallen ill to a strange new virus. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Patients are complaining of stomach aches, fever, and violent mood swings. I’m checking the medical journals to see if anything like this has been seen before. I was frighten when I treated one of the patient’s, I could have sworn one of them wanted to bite me.

Day 2

Health Blog “ Dr. Ross “

October 2

Anyone reading this, I advise you to lock yourself in doors. This virus has spread, I’ve locked myself in my office until help arrives. The patients we admitted yesterday have gone mad. One of them bit into a nurses neck, she in return began to scream and attack her co-workers, she even chased down a doctor down the hall. I can hear people screaming and banging on the door for help.

If you read this, please escape from Los Angeles, run, or hide… oh Jesus they’re breaking in, it’s those fucking infected. Oh God, oh God.

Day 3

phone conversation

911 operator: 9-1-1.

Women: Does fucking infected are here!

911: Stay in your house, everything will be fine.

Women: They’re trying to kill my neighbor, my boyfriend ran out to help!

911: We’ll send a squad car, it should be there in ten minutes.

Women: Ten mintues?

911: Ma’am, keep your voice down or I will hang up on you.

Women: Baby, oh god, you’re hurt. Ronnie show me, what happened? They bit you, Ronnie, Ronnie, look at me…. oh god, NO!  ( Struggle )

911: Ma’am, get out of there, run away!

Women: No, Ronnie it’s me, please someone help!

Day 4

My name is Alex Cruz, two days ago a virus hit Los Angeles. People started to go mad like rabid dogs. I saw one of my friends get bit by those infected. I saw him chase down his own girlfriend. I don’t know what happened, and I really don’t want to think about it.

From that day, I just ran and never turned back. I barricaded myself in some random house. There was no one inside, didn’t bother to look anyway. this house belonged to a white family whose on vacation, found a list of chores listed for the person who was in charge of keeping the house in tiptop shape.

1. Water The Plants Each Day
2. Pick up the news paper & Mail
3. Please Don’t Order Any Pay Preview , or Adult Material
4. Go wild on the liquor cabinet
5. You break, you pay ;)

Guess none of those is going to happen. Well, maybe number four. I sealed myself shut,  border the windows with anything I could find. I found a laptop  in the kids bedroom, and a stack of adult magazines, go figure. The Wi-fi was still working, thankfully. So far the news is saying whatever is hitting Los Angeles is a super flu and nothing more. Bastards, they don’t want the public to know what’s really happing, they might have a hand in all this. Curse them to hell.

I can hear those things running around, looking for new victims. I hope that help arrives soon. I wonder if my own mother and brother made it out of the city. I’m posting all over the internet about the truth, someone needs to know.

Day 5

- Journal Of   Shawn Boyle -

There wasn’t  much hope, nobody was coming to save us. We were on our own. My wife kept filling the children’s heads that help was around the corner, it never was.

I couldn’t let my family suffer, so, in the middle of the night while they slept, I murder them one by one. My wife put up a struggle, the little ones didn’t. They’re with god now, I’m here stuck in hell. I’ll receive my punishment soon enough.

I know whoever reads this might call me a monster. But, you haven’t seen the things I’ve seen. Those monsters bitting people, seeing your love ones turn into one of them. I saved my family that horror.

I’m about to walk outside and put things right. An eye for an eye. I wnder what happens when you become on of them, do you remember who you were, or does it all fade away?
