From the record kept by the twins Jenny and Barbie Crow, May 8

May 8, 2017

We decided that we should watch the other Tower to see if anything moves, like a curtain or a shadow. Then we can note down the approximate location of that apartment. We found a schematic of the entire building and we can use it to write down the apartment numbers where there seems to be something or someone inside.

I don't know if we are going to find anyone still alive. We have searched over half of our tower and only found one person alive. He was nuts and tried to eat us, so we had to kill him, which doesn't give me much hope even if we find anyone else alive. Barbie and I are lucky to have each other and that has gone a long way to keeping us sane. If someone survived alone, will they still be sane? I guess it depends on the person. Would I like it if we found someone else? Well, that would also depend on the person. It would be nice to have someone else to talk to, someone who has stories that neither Barbie or I have heard and who hasn't heard ours. Having a guy around would be really good because he could carry more than either of us.
We have been taking turns in two hour shifts, watching the windows across from us. It has been two days since we started and we have three apartment numbers written down. We look at all the windows but pay special attention to the ones we've seen movement in. Barbie is 90% sure that one of them, on the 12th floor, is a zombie that is slowly pacing back and forth. Barbie says she saw it and the zombie was not pretty. She thinks there actually might be more than just the woman in there, since something ate a good portion of her.
The window on the 15th floor had a curtain move yesterday in the afternoon. It moved in a way the didn't look like wind, it was more deliberate. But we haven't seen it since and it makes me wonder in it wasn't anything at all. We are going to concentrate on watching that apartment this afternoon to see if there is any more movement.
The last apartment with movement was one floor above the last one, on the 16th floor, but a couple of apartments over. We have both seen some random movement through the windows. Something or someone is moving around in there and not just pacing. Whoever or whatever it is, it has not come close to the windows, so we haven't seen it. Tomorrow, we are going to concentrate on this one to see what can be seen.
Really though, we won't know what is going on in any of the apartments in the other Tower until we get over there and we want to keep watching the other Tower for a few more days, at least. There could be people alive in a lot of the apartments but on the other side and we wouldn't know it. We are making a list of what we are going to take with us. We are going to pull the cart with us for bringing back supplies and we have a red wagon to take, too. We are going to put what we are taking with us from here in it. We don't know if we are going to have to stay in one of the places over there. We have no idea of what will happen once we get inside the other Tower.

For all we know, it could be overrun on some of the floors and we might end up having to fight our way through. If that happens, we could get stuck in one of the apartments. If something like this happens, we might have to leave the cart and wagon behind, so we are also taking some supplies in backpacks. Hopefully, this measures will increase our safety while investigating over there.
Barbie is putting together the list and then I am going to go over it. She is our in house expert on surviving. I know I used to make fun of her for watching all those prepping TV shows and reading all the survival books. But now, I am so thankful and she is the only reason I am still alive.
