My Dearest Mike,
Waiting... all I seem to do these days is wait. Wait for an update, wait for news on the outside world, even wait to get food so I can eat. But the worst of all of this is waiting to hear if you are alive out there on the other side. Waiting to hold you in my arms again and embrace you. Waiting to see your beautiful smile. Waiting to tell you again just how much I love you. Waiting to be yours.
I will continue to be patient and to wait as I know in my heart we will be together again. I can feel it. I know it, I have to believe it. It is the only thing that keeps me going day after day. I carry our wedding picture with me in my right sock so that you're always with me.
Do not fear my love... we will be together again soon. I will continue to be strong and to fight for you... for us. As I know you are doing out there for me.
I will wait for you... always. Because I don't just love you much... I love you the Most!
Yours always,
Fairen xoxo

Dear Emir
It feels so strange writing you a letter in this day and age but with barely functioning Internet and electricity, I have no choice. This'll probably be my only letter for a while since our group is being moved from this financial building downtown to the stadium. The screenings are getting harsher and tougher to pass because everyone, including the officials escorting us, are becoming more and more paranoid. There isn't even a gaurantee that I'll be let into the stadium as everyone needs to pass another screening. What if I get a nose bleed or a slight cough? Will I be thrown out into the street with the monsters? There's more of them everyday and I question the authorities' ability to protect us. I might actually have to fire a gun sometime soon! I might even have to come up with some cool catch-phrases! "You have a date with Death. Don't blow it off this time."
I know I'm making jokes but honestly I'm really scared. I don't know what's going to happen but please reply back as soon as you can. Send your letter through the GRE like last time and make sure to put "SV GROUP #6" on the back of the envelope. Just hope I'm somewhere safe when I get your letter. I love you and miss you. Take care of Father and tell him I still have his watch with me. It's the only thing that keeps me grounded in reality day to day until this nightmare is over.
Be safe,
Kudret

Dear Santa,
This year for the holidays I'd really just like my mom to be well. She's been in bed for days now and doesn't seem to be getting better. This morning she even bit my daddy. My daddy yelled...
Hope you get this soon.
Michael

My Darling Eric,
Harran has gone to Hell and is taking everyone here right along with it. Those horrible creatures are hunting and stalking me in this cold, lonely night. I'm alone and trapped with nowhere to go. My options have run out.
I'm writing this letter with the little time I have left. I pray that it somehow reaches your hands. I'm down to one last bullet. I've decided that I must go out on my own terms. The thought of being ripped apart or turning into one of... those THINGS out there is much worse. I promise to make it quick and painless. It's better this way. Please forgive me.
I love you,
Arianna

Hey there, birthday boy!
I bet you thought I forgot, didn't you?
How does it feel to be ten years old? You still have your whole life ahead of you. I remember when I was ten - I got in trouble for throwing rocks at cars. Your grandma was so mad.
Things are boring here without you and your mom with me. I miss you both so much.
After I was separated from my platoon, I was lucky to find a zone not too far from home. My bite is looking better every day, so once I get this fever down, I'll be on my way home!
Give your mom a kiss for me. I'll be home soon.
I love you,
Dad

John,
Hey little bro. I'm not sure if you've heard what's happening out here but things are looking real bad. What was planned to be the perfect honeymoon between Carrie and I turned out to be my biggest nightmare. Those things got her on one of the first days this started happening and I couldn't do anything about it. I kept fighting and fighting but those things kept coming and I was powerless to do anything.. Just when I gave up and thought I was a goner a guy pulled me out and brought me here. I'm really struggling with all of this and even wanting to survive after she was ripped away from me but I know you still need your big brother so I'm going to do everything I can to get to you ALIVE. If somehow I don't make it I want you to know that I love you and you've always been my best friend and tell mom and dad that I love them as well. You guys are all I have left in this world so please watch after yourself and them.
Love,
Brad
p.s
Please look after Admiral Kitty Whiskers for me a bit longer.

Dear Nancy,
I've been in this quarantine for a few a weeks now and it already feels like months. Everyone outside has been infected and inside act as if they are as well. The screams at night use to keep me awake, now when the night is silent I find I sleep even less. Little to no answer from the guards as to when we can leave or what's even happening outside the quarantine zone. They restrict us from having radio and television, our only means of contact outside is through the mail and I pray for the poor bastard that is tasked with delivering our letters. He is either very compassionate about helping us reach our loved ones or he is very foolish, either way it's not my concern, I can only hope he manages to make the delivery.
I miss you and the kids greatly, I find myself dwelling on our memories. Playing catch in the back yard, family holidays, making love to you under the stars... While I try and reflect on the happier moments it only makes me more depressed. What good are memories if all of them seem to bring you down? Fear not my love, I'll slip out of here tonight and I'll find my way to you. I'm sure this letter will reach you first, but be certain I am not too far behind it. I'll see you soon.
All my love,
Travis
Letter 8[]
To whoever finds this,
at first I thought, that fear is the worst thing I can experience... Seeing grey, black, and bloody-red memories of once living people when closing your eyes; hearing only screams, the sounds of breaking bones, torn apart clothes, and ravenously devoured flesh, even though nothing surrounds you but silence; smelling blood and decay regardless of being clean; feeling their filthily-moist, cold breaths on your neck while being hidden in a safe place... The future is covered in a black, moldy cloth of an old, ferocious hag named Fate. She stares at you with her empty gaze, laughing like mad...
Today I know, that fear wasn't the worst: it meant, that I still had the will to fight, that there was still a ray of hope breaking through the roof of this insane world. Today I know, that the worst is the lack of this hope... Seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling absolutely nothing... I'm still alive, but already dead inside... They already devoured my soul, soon they will make feast of my body, my mind now is only a faint, dying light...
Crane gave others false hopes... I didn't go, there was no point whatsoever...

Jack,
I don't know if this will ever reach you, so maybe this is just for me. I know what I did was the worst fucking thing I've ever done in my life, that's why you left. Most nights after you left I spent trying to summon up the courage to just dive off my roof, and every night I wimp out. I suppose that if I could summon the balls to end this, I would've had the balls to fix this in the first place.
It's gotten really bad here, between the lack of supplies, the disease, and those goddamn monsters. But it's changed me. All I have to do to die is walk outside and sit, no more bitching out, just a quick end. But I don't want to die. I want to live. I might be no better than the monsters out there, but I want to live to see you again. I don't deserve your forgiveness, I don't want it, I just want to see that you're doing okay. I'll leave this in the post office, it'll have the best chance of being found by whoever comes to help. Please stay safe, you're all I have left.

Amy,
Every time I close my eyes, I see your face. It gets in the way of my sleep, which I think would make you laugh. This trip was about journalism, about highlighting the disparities between the rich and poor, but it's over. Now it's just about living.
It would be strange to say this in person. You've probably known before I did that I'm in love with you. Our work together over the past year has changed my life, and I was getting up the courage to make my move when the quarantine went into effect. Typical of me. Wrong time, wrong place.
You shouldn't have come here with me. I can't stop replaying the bite, your green eyes glazing over, the change. I know I should have ended it for you when you asked, but I couldn't. I'm sorry. I hope someone else did you that favor, but I can't help but think you're still out there somewhere, wandering.
Sending this letter to your address back home seems morbid, but it's all I have to keep from going crazy. Your twisted face haunts me, and I haven't slept for days.
All My Love,
Frank
Letter 11[]
Dear reader. Here is a small word from the Quarantine Zone.
My identity doesn't matter anymore.
I wrote a random address on the envelope so you are now, my friend, a witness of the Harran incident.
The people who rule the Post Office swear the letters we write will reach you, outside. Everyone knows it's a lie, they just want to give us a last bit of hope.
Don't believe the Army. Don't believe the governments. Don't trust whatever form of authority you might meet, they all lie.
We are doomed.
Don't come here. Don't try to save us. Seal the place. Fire the nukes, before IT spreads even more.
Please copy this and broadcast it.
This letter is nothing but a farewell and a warning. It might become a piece of history that will eventually end printed on a memorial, to testify what happened here.
If you find this letter inside Harran, take it with you only if you are absolutely sure to deliver it to a safe spot: no moisture, no fire, no infected. Or even better, outside. If you are not sure, if you are contaminated, leave it where you found it. Please.
Farewell
G Merlin

V,
This is the first time in a long time I have woken up without you by my side.
Everything happened so fast and not one person in here knows exactly what is going on.
So many people have been taken away never to come back. We are not allowed to leave.
What is happening?
I am scared.
I wish I knew if you were all right.
I am worried that night might be the last night we will ever see one another again.
The fight we had. That was my fault. I might not ever get to tell you that.
There are so many things I wanted to say and so many things I still want to say to you.
I am hoping you too are in a safe place writing a letter for me.
A letter you or I might never get.
It is the thought that counts, right?
If you do get this, Please know that I love you. I will always love you,
J
Letter 13[]
Do you remember when we stargazed all night, not getting home untill till the sun was already up? What about the time when we went camping and totally forgot both of our sleeping bags? We laughed until we were in tears and then drove all the way back home. Even though those were two super small moments in our relationship, they were the moments when I first knew I loved you, Kevin. Those were the moments when I could forget about the world, even for a minute, and just be with you. I know you hate when I get super emotional or sappy, but I can't help it. Even after 3 years you still give me butterflies whenever I see you. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I need you to know that. The sad part is that I don't know when I'll be able to leave. I know that we left on bad terms because you didn't want me travelling all the way here, and I'm sorry. One day we will see each other again.
Letter 14[]
Evelyn,
I thought about it, and you can keep the damn house! I doubt I'll have much use for it any more, anyway.
And as usual, your timing is impeccable! If you had just waited to serve me papers, maybe I wouldn't have been so distracted, and I could have wrapped up my business and been out by now. For all I know it was by design, taking one last stab to undermine me and what we had.
I mean, honestly, was it that bad? Was it so broken that it couldn't be fixed? I didn't give up so easily. I still had some hope, unlike now. I'm hanging by a thread here, Evie. Don't know if you'll get this or, if you reply, whether or not I'll see it. But please do me this one last favor. Write me. Like we used to.
Tell me the things we used to tell each other. Help me believe everything will be alright, even if I know otherwise. Let me leave this world with that thought, with those feelings again. Feelings I, at least, never entirely lost. We were good, Evie, once upon a time. Please remember. For us both.
Love,
Taylor

Hey Pippy,
The phones aren't working here, so I thought I'd be a bit old fashioned and send you a letter for your birthday instead! I'm really sorry that I couldn't make it back in time, it looks like I'm gonna be here for a while. Anyway, sweet sixteen huh?! I remember when you were still in diapers kiddo. I even changed a few of them haha. Here's the deal, like I said I'm gonna be here a while, so since your practically a grown up, I need you to take care of mum and the others for me okay? Help mum around the house, make sure Em and Zoe don't fight too much. Do that for me sis, and I promise I'll bring home some pretty epic holiday souvenirs. Ok? Promise me. Because I need you all to be ok. Things are pretty crazy around here. I hope this gets to you. I love you sis. Tell mum I love her. Make sure you feed the dog. Don't worry about me, despite all appearances, apparently I am a badass. Or at least I have a decent amount of luck. So far anyway.
Love you heaps sis
