Kyoto, Japan

As I interviewed Sensei Tomonaga Ijiro, I was in awe of his fighting spirit and resourcefulness. Sensei Tomonaga Ijiro was blinded during the Second World War from an American bomb. He felt useless and did not want to burden his brother and his new family. He even tried to commit suicide. He later walked across Japan and landed up in Sapporo and met Ota Hediki. Ota Hediki. Ota Hediki taught Sensei Tomonaga Ijiro all about gardening and even gave him money from his small pay check. When Sensei Tomonaga Ijiro heard about the Japanese outbreaks he left and went to a “national park”. He lived there but was almost killed by a bear. Luckily the bear did not kill Sensei Tomonaga Ijiro but rather warn him of a zombie right behind him. After killing the zombie, Sensei Tomonaga Ijiro lived a life of awareness. He was always aware of his surroundings. He even killed 40 zombies once. This amazing man after killing each zombie buried them. He wanted to not burden Mother Nature. After meeting his student, Kondo Tatsumi they lived together. Sensei Tomonaga Ijiro is an amazing man. He fought off numerous zombies and buried every one of them. I think this man transformed from a man full of self-pity transformed into a man of confidence and pride.

Ulithi Atoll, Federated States of Micronesia

Today, I interviewed Barati Palshigar. He is an Indian man who worked at Radio Free Earth during the Zombie War. He knew many South Asian languages and his job was to transmit “how to guides” to people. He taught them about basic survival. He told me he had to combat numerous misconceptions people had like zombies being intelligent and that they used primitive tools. He worked tirelessly to teach people. Talking to him, I saw a sense of hope he had that we were going to overcome this epidemic. His devotion struck me. I think that people like Barati Palshigar are some of the numerous people who gave people hope to live and fight on. Yes, he did a simple job, but he saved countless lives. I have even more respect for the people who worked at Information Reception. Without them Radio Free Earth would never have been possible.

Parnell Air National Guard Base, Tennessee

Today, I interviewed Colonel Christina Eliopolis and I saw a true American hero. She was a brilliant pilot in the Air Force but was reduced to dropping off packages to Red Zones and Blue Zones. The Air Force was deemed “useless” during the Zombie War because of the costs and limits of the budget. She while flying on a mission was lucky to be out of the cockpit when her plane blew up. All of her colleagues died except her. She radioed in and found a Skywatcher named “Mets Fan.” Mets saved her life because she led her step by step to be eventually rescued. Of course, on the way Colonel Christina Eliopolis ran into some zombies, but with Mets help she killed them all. After being rescued and evaluated, it was discovered that Colonel Christina Eliopolis’ radio had been broken on her impact as she fell from the exploding airplane. They said that “Mets” was never real and that she was a figment of her imagination. I disagree with this evaluation because Mets knew specific places that Colonel Christina Eliopolis would never have known and she calmed Colonel Christina Eliopolis down while Colonel Christina Eliopolis was anxious and angry when she landed from the exploded plane. I think there is no way that Mets could not have existed. She was the reason Colonel Christina Eliopolis survived.
