Chris Lecher’s Journal, a curious discovery that will surely leave researchers puzzled about the true nature of events that transpired several years ago. Teams of anthropologists, environmental scientists, and even occult scholars have joined forces in attempting to solve the mystery of the cause and the subsequent end to the terror. Though I should state that the hellish fiends still manage to worm their way back into our world, and the sure randomness of their trajectory makes tracking them almost as impossible as staying equipped to handle the more demonic horrors. However, this particular discovery is remarkable, the millions used in funding the project have turned a resource too valuable for budget scrutinizing. This document explains the origins of the hellish portals and the event that transpired before the real domination began.

Entry Five, 12/10/2014

After reading the latest update on Reddit, I’ve decided to throw away my previous dispositions towards the sudden and shocking news. The media would have us believe that everything is normal, and that the deaths were just the product of a sudden spike in criminal activity brought by these very dark and desperate times. As mentioned in my previous entries, I began suspecting something was a bit off when I watched the uploaded video of a sick person getting beaten down in public. I can understand why the law wanted to persecute the defendant, as the man was brutally beaten to death by a baseball bat, but the sickness didn’t look like anything normal to me.

It appears as if the people are convinced that nothing strange is occurring, that the dead haven’t come back to life, but I would bet my life that they are mistaken.

I don’t blame them for the ignorance, but when ignorance becomes favored over truth, then it becomes a problem. In all these horrid crimes, the bodies were found already dead and decomposed, but the authorities wouldn’t speak a word of it if they didn’t have to. They ignored these significant details as if they were simply trivial. I suppose it would be more probable to assume that the people charged with the crimes robbed a grave and hauled the cadaver into a public area for a serious beating. I guess for a sane person that makes more sense than a zombie. Why would anyone in their right mind think we were finding zombies?

My fellow Internet friends and I have made it our responsibility to inform and educate the masses. It is absolutely imperative that they know the truth if we are to prepare ourselves for whatever comes our way. I don’t know how my friends are doing on their personal crusade, but I’ve launched a blog loaded with everything I could gather. The uploaded videos of all of the brutal acts of violence towards ‘sick’ people; the images of opened graves, audio logs of sightings that I fear to explore, and other links. So far, without any money, I could only imagine a few hundred hits at max per day, as the blog is brand spanking new. I really hope I don’t have to start selling off my anime collectables.

The media still doesn’t seem to have a fucking clue as to what is happening. A few reporters got it right, daring to use the words ‘Hell on earth’ but those reporters probably risked their necks for that juicy comment. But it is fucking real.
