Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

The second evening of the event progressed in a similar way to the first, except that Essex actually realised I was flirting. Again, we ended up only getting a few hours sleep, but I should make it clear now that despite the reputation of Essex girls, and the rumours that went around the players, it was nothing more than cuddling, sharing a bunk for the few hours we did sleep, and kissing.

The more entertaining parts were on the drive home. With heavy snow, a three hours journey became instead seven hours of slow, boring driving. Or it would have done, if driving had been all that happened. Nothing that major occured in the car, just a lot of stroking, touching, and other manually based activity.

However, while Essex and myself seem very well suited there are problems involved. The main one is probably the fact that she has children. Not a bad thing as such, but while I get on very well with children, it does put a different spin on things if I am going to be visiting her. Something that is going to require a lot of careful thought about.

To explain a little about the Essex nickname, a joke which is fairly common here, among others. "What does an Essex girl wear knickers for?" "Keeping her ankles warm." There are many, many others.

Oh, and the other complication of course is that she is a natural redhead, and I have been warned about them many times.

The final battle of the event was in the heavy snow, as heavily armoured creatures of the undead. So it was not quite an actual apocalypse, but we came fairly close. A lot of players are having to make new characters after zombie attack left about half of them bleeding on the floor. Obviously this was within the context of the game, there were no actual injuries.

Why would you need warning against redheads?

The snow hasn't hit us yet. A fact of which I'm incredibly glad.

ps. I didn't mention it before but I got your letter last week and as soon as it stops raining I've got one to send to you :)
