So Josh
signed off earlier this week and while I know he will still post from time to
time, I think everyone feels a bit weird about the silence. That said, it hasn’t stopped anyone from
doing their jobs because, as we all know, Haven still exists and we have a ton
of work to do. The walls of Haven are
constantly in need of upgrades, zombies need exterminating, and while what
remains of the UAS is basically impotent and not causing official trouble,
there are still splinter groups out there.
Plus you’ve got your garden variety sociopathic marauders, slavers, rapers,
and so on. The world is a dangerous
place and we have to give it our constant attention.
I think we’ve
all started to realize how much we relied on Josh to shape this world we live
in. He’s the one who gave us new names
and words like “smarties” and “New Breed.”
We use Joshisms every day thanks to his diligent work on the blog. The blog was a sense of comfort to those of
us who were frightened and alone, a testament that, yes, survival is
possible. To those who were already safe
and content and distant from all these troubles, the blog functioned as daily
entertainment. A soap-opera in a world
where such things ceased to exist.
We’ve all
been used to seeing this apocalypse through Josh’s eyes and now it’s time to
depend on our own experiences without his notes and thoughts helping us along. Life moves on and it sweeps us along with it.
And whatever is coming next, I do
believe we can handle it.
