Today we woke up pretty early. At 7:00 we were all standing group. Outside and inside the enclosure, the heat was stifling. The air blowing from the west and burned. Despite the time it was, Miguel and many community members already in place, doing chores inside and outside the enclosure. The first thing I've done nothing but get up, was going to see the health status of Fede, who spent the night with Esther. This has been caring for him all night, without leaving your side for a single moment. When I entered the room, there was also Edward. Fede was lying in bed and I said hello to me. He told me that thanks to painkillers and other medication he is providing Esther, it hurts much less and is a little better. Anyway, says he does not hurt if you do not make great moves. Stand it is almost impossible. I've been in the room for a while talking with them, until they have done 8:00. So when Eduardo was said that was the time that had to go with Ivan path to the nearest hospital to get useful material, as already agreed. Before leaving the room, Eduardo told me to leave him out now, that I had to say one thing. I went out with him without having the foggiest idea what he meant. His words have been "Federico knows nothing of the operation. Someone should tell and I have enough courage ... You think you could?" . I hesitated for a few seconds. Why do I have to say? Why do I always play the worst jobs?. Although I did very much, I agreed and I said yes. At that time Ivan has appeared down the hall, carrying a backpack and two submachine guns, and he shouted "Edu! Esther has given me a list of what we have to bring is time to get out there to mow rotten! Or you've already cracked?! " . Edward looked at me and made a gesture with eyebrows meaning "Oh God! Give me patience! ". I've laughed and told me they were leaving, then I said goodbye to Eduardo. I've given a hug and told him to be careful and be wise. Ivan has dismissed giving me a pat on the I was almost back to the party, as he said "Prudence? That's the name of Grandma! " and laughed out loud. When they are away down the hall, I re-entered the room Fede. Just me, Esther has been lifted and he told me that I stay with him few minutes, they went for water. was the last thing I need, I only eat brown and whole. When you have left the room, I sat on the couch and I thought of how to begin to tell. As it has not learned, but he said "Erik, I noticed that mean something. Shoot" . I have been amazed at his words and nerves have made him say all of a sudden. "You have to operate. If we do not, die. It is possible that the operation will also do it. But it's a risk you have to run ..." . Fede has been quiet for a few seconds thinking. Then I said "I imagined. I'm not stupid. That whatever has to happen. I do not fear death" . I did not expect it to take much philosophy.
I have stayed in the room until it has become Esther. During those long minutes no the two have exchanged a word. I do not know what to say and he would not be in high spirits. When Esther has been back, I woke up and I headed for the door to leave. I was opening this, when Esther stopped me with a question. "What is your blood type?" . "negative zero" I answered and she has finished saying "Perfect. Your blood is used for all recipients. Eduardo Ivan and I will bring material for transfusions, so when you're back, I need to donate blood. We will do this afternoon, and will notify you ". The truth, I do not mind donating blood. It's for a good cause. But with such poor food we have, this is going to sit like a shot.
The day after peace. The girls have spent the morning working in the autopsy room, acclimated to it. I have helped. I've been cleaning the room while they finished preparing and classifying the material (gauze, scalpels and other tools). We are horrified when I opened a cold room for corpses and we have found a body bag with a reanimated body inside. But it was the only camera with this, about three more contained reanimated corpses. In other circumstances, would have finished with them, but I preferred to tell Michael. This extract has been sent from there to the revived and take them to their particular farm rotten. I have not done very much, but it would hurt if it had been eliminated and would have brought serious consequences, because we have allowed Miguel marauders kill anywhere on the church grounds. On second thought, I do not care what you do with them as long as no escape from the prison where retained.
After this, there has been good and bad news. Eduardo and Ivan have returned safely with all types of surgical material useful. Several bags full and the car full. To bring have brought clean hospital sheets and a variety of medications. We were told that the incursion was not difficult, but not a cinch. Have had to make way for the hospital and lead katana hit. Apparently, the hospital was well inhabited by marauders, but the real problem was when they had to go back to cars. As told, a horde of marauders were crowded in front of the hospital, attracted by the shots. They could wipe out all but exhausted all the ammunition you have been. Since we have very little in reserves. The bad news has not been that. This has occurred where Esther, while classifying all new material, asked where was the anesthesia and Eduardo replied that they have not found. The face of horror has been remarked Esther and asked as we carry out the operation without anesthesia. Ivan says "With this," while his backpack has brought several bottles of whiskey. We have all watched with a puzzled face and he who has realized this, we said "Let's see ... There was no sign of anesthesia by either side and this is the best thing happened to us. not as crazy. 200 years ago there was no anesthesia and operations are made to live with this method. So that worked ... " . We have all seen and Eduardo has made a gesture meaning that has been thought of Ivan. Esther started to cry and say "As I will carry out an operation without anesthesia! Do you think that getting drunk is not going to suffer and be aware of? You have seen many movies! ". He then gave a bang and has left the room. The truth is that the very idea of \u200b\u200boperating Fede without anesthesia, getting drunk and holding between all that is not twisted in pain as he screams, horrified me. But Ivan is right, no we have no anesthesia. That dilemma.
About one o'clock, all the group have come to the dining room to eat our daily ranch. We have at the end of a table with several members of the community. These so disguised, have risen up and away from us. It as if we were afraid ... Why? They are very kind and hospitable to us, but they do not understand things. However, Esther and Juanca are unaffected by this, quite the opposite. All community members greet them as one more and talk and joke with them. Apparently, Esther is not the only one that is believing in all that nonsense of Michael. Juanca too. He has not recognized it, but I noticed. Go to the masses of the community and always walks behind Michael, asking things and talking to him. The food has gone smoothly. We have served a scrambled eggs accompanied by potatoes. And of course, a great and delicious salad. We had not finished end the plate, when the whole community has risen and has begun to run the table was Michael. All are thronging around and we have been confusing. We did not know was happening. Esther has also been a person who has come to the table of Miguel. The tide of people began to move out of the room with Michael in the center. When they passed by our table, I noticed that several people held by the arms to Miguel, who was unconscious. All we woke up and I saw Esther in the tumult. I tried talking to her to ask what happened, but it has been impossible. I was too concentrated to accompany Miguel and interned in the tide of people. Mary has made my hand and told us in skeptical tone "Do not worry. It always happens, is not the first time I see it. Now take him to a room and lock him there, because when this happens, is when you talk to your God ... " . The others and I have followed up the room, which Miguel taught us when we arrived and where he says that God speaks. When they come to this, he has been hospitalized in there, lying on the floor. It seemed he was dead. Then closed the door and bowed down everyone in the hall outside the door of the room and started to pray. All of us have been surprised by so much bigotry, especially Ivan, which has exclaimed "That desire to wipe out the submachine. Esther has been watching and seen their intentions to kneel there with the others, but do not know why, maybe because of embarrassment or fear that we would say, it has not done. When we were away from there, Esther told me "Come with me. I have to extraerte blood, remember? ".
We went to the autopsy room and made me sit on a metal chair, resting his arm on a table. She has prepared all material and when it has had done, I've stuck the needle in the arm and the tube has begun to fill with blood, ran to fall into the transfusion bag. While I opened and closed his hand as Esther had told me to do, she has gone to the back of the room and sat in a chair. I've seen for a while and I felt sorry to see changed. Seeing her dressed in that robe and attitude newly adopted, as if a copy of the other sectarians, made me say the following: "Esther ... Do not you realize, but you've chosen the wrong path. The series of events we have lived since all this has started to cling to religion, waiting to get answers. Nobody knows what is happening, because we have come to this, nor do we know, or know the members of this community and Miguel knows even less. This Religion has mounted a building ... ". Do not let me finish. Then he told me " I told you when you arrived. I am the first save. Always have been. I believe in science, not in the mystical or religious. When we arrived, I saw his brother Michael as a charlatan and the other like a bunch of geeks who followed him. I thought like you. But when you left, my opinion changes. I've seen what you can do that man. I've seen what he can and that has made me realize that this man is elected. What does he can not make a normal man. You have to see for yourself, then share my way of thinking ". I could not contain myself and I asked that is capable man, who had been to change her mind so quickly. She just told me "I will not explain in words. You have to see. When you come out of his trance, go and tell him to show you. He will not put buts" . I've been mulling over that could be what he is capable of doing until it has finished drawing blood. Right after cotton and pressing against my arm, I walked quickly through the hallways in search of Michael. I went to the famous room but there was anyone inside or outside. I asked where Michael was a member of the community and this has answered me "This outside, meditating. It spent much energy in the last divine revelation ". I quickly went outside the building and I've seen in the middle of a field, near the 'farm' of rotten, sitting on a rock. I walked briskly to where was. The hot sun made me sweat-soaked shirt and I almost suffocated from heat. When I arrived with him, this is me staring, smiled and greeted me. I was surprised to see it without even a drop of sweat on his forehead. I said "Michael, I spoke with Esther on its rapid conversion ..." . This says "It's a smart girl and lucky. You have found the path of God very quickly. God has spoken about it today ... " . I interrupted him as he has done, saying "Yes, yes, of course. But do not come to talk about it. What brought me here is that she has told me that you know do something that can make me change my mind. I want to see. I want to see how striking is that ". Miguel looked at me and then, looking toward heaven, exclaimed "My God ... So hard to follow them is all by faith alone and without seeing your powers ..." Then he looked at me and continued "... I'll show you. To you and all your classmates.'re Going to see that I do not lie and tell the truth. Everything is done to see the true path of God" . Has called a community member who was working in the field several yards away and told him to go look at my other colleagues. This has dropped the hoe and has run toward the building, carrying out orders.
At 10 minutes, my colleagues have appeared accompanied by several members of the community. All but Ivan, displaying a look of indifference and disgust, were puzzled. They did not know was happening and because they had to bring here. Then Michael said "We're all. If I have made call is as follows. Like Erik, most of you took me for a madman who has brought together a bunch of morons and built a church .. . Here Ivan he exclaimed a loud "OK" . Miguel has turned a deaf ear and continued "... but it is not. Calm down, do not blame them, because man is ignorant in nature. I know you're not going to change my mind by simple faith and therefore I have call made. I'm going to show that each of my words are true. That God has chosen me to be the guide of the pure in spirit, those who enter the kingdom of heaven after the trial of souls . Well ... Stay tuned and be not afraid ". After that, who knelt and started to pray. It has for a minute while everyone watched. Then heading has been lifted and one of its faithful, has ordered "Brother Alfredo, opens the gate" . Upon hearing this, I shuddered. Iban to open the doors of the rotting farm. They raced through the gate with its whitish lifeless eyes fixed on us. Instinctively, I grabbed my gun and my colleagues have sent back and watch. Esther has come to me and says "Do not worry, nothing will happen" . Alfredo may have removed the lock of the gate and opened the door, as he retreated. Michael to come quickly before approaching marauders and Alfredo closed doors. When I saw that scene, I cried a "Are you crazy?! Would you going to attack?! ". Ivan background to Sticking" that will not fall short ... ". Michael has been there all marauders still while on their way to him. When he was over, I removed the eye fearing the worst. But I was wrong. The marauders have surrounded him and have stayed still, watching. There are few marauding around him, but I would say that almost all who were there confined. After this, Michael has started to walk and remove them with your hands. These, motionless and staring, have been pushed aside by each of Michael. They have made not the slightest intention of attacking him and gone away one one of them, returning to the gate and focusing all their attention on us. Ivan, who stood by my side, exclaimed "Do we take it for stupid?! In these marauders something happens to them! I have done something that you can do this shtick circus!" . Miguel said "No. This is proof that I am the one. God gave me this gift. Nothing" . Ivan said "Bullshit!" and started walking briskly toward the door. Once this has been removed from the midst of a push to Alfredo, has opened the door and entered. Not because none of us have reacted, but we had to have stopped. Entering Ivan, all the raiders have begun to walk toward him. Miguel, from a far, has told "Brother, get out of here or they will kill you" . Ivan has turned a deaf ear and stayed still while mumbling a stick in his mouth. The first predator it was almost over, moaning and with arms raised, but a continued undeterred. Apparently, I was very confident that he would not attack him. It was Miguel who, a quick sprint, it was next to Ivan and taken him off the prowler, who was already opening his mouth and lunging. Then started to push and take down all those who were approaching him Ivan. This is out of his trance and has realized what was really happening, of the danger that if left there. Has encajetado knocked a prowler who was standing between him and the door and then has not gone outside without closing the doors. We have looked at everyone with eyes of bewilderment and has spoken to Michael, who remained inside, telling "You have not proven anything! You know what your trick, old fool!" . After finishing his words, has left the area but not before He looks upon all of us. Personally, I was speechless. Me and all my colleagues. Miguel has left the cage and told us "Now is in your hands. To believe or not believe, follow the word of God to lead to salvation or to continue traveling the path of sin. You yourselves, brethren . After finishing his words, has also gone and left us there, stunned.
The truth is that, since I've seen Michael do that, I have not stopped thinking like marauders might not have attacked. It is clear that I do not believe his explanation that is a chosen of God. There must be a logical explanation, scientific explanation, but what? Though the idea has long disappeared from the world. My colleagues are as confused as me. Even Eduardo is an explanation for this. Ivan continues to maintain his theory that these marauders are stunned because of something they have done, but how can stun them not to attack? I'd love to know the trick. That would make us immune to these things and we could move all the areas and cities without fear. But whether you have trick, Miguel is not going to give another explanation than the official. I have head a mess. I must find an explanation for this ... But how?
