The Day Jack and Eugene Met

It was on fire, I tell you! The house was on fire!

Today's run was quite interesting. Around the mile mark, I noticed a few fire trucks, a couple police cars, and an ambulance near a house. On closer inspection, a whole gaggle of people were surrounding the house, which appeared to have recently caught fire. The smoke from said house traveled a good distance away; it filled the area and provided a spooky atmosphere.

But of course, the real part of the run comes in the form of Jack and Eugene's discussions. And during this run, I learned how they met.

Imagine a time right at the cusp of the zombie outbreak. A group of ravers were partying in the woods, without a clue about the impending doom of humanity. According to Jack, it was quite the exciting party.

However, after three days of partying, Jack becomes exhausted and picks a spot somewhere further in the woods to lie down and sleep. And for thirteen hours, as Eugene pointed out. Eugene was not at the party, but his car has broken down a short distance away. Since he knew not to trust emergency services during this time, he gathered his essentials and ran away. 

And as he ran in the forest, he tripped on, you guessed it, Jack's sleeping body. Right as Eugene turned around to see what he tripped on, he saw a whole bunch of zombies approaching.

Just a side note, the music from the rave was still blasting. So as Eugene began to speak, the crescendo of the song hit, causing a more epic moment when Eugene uttered, "Come with me if you want to live!"

The was surely the most epic moment yet, and I literally laughed out loud when I heard it.

The second bit of discussion was about Eugene's middle name. It took Jack quite a while to figure out, as he said almost all regular names. However, Eugene eventually pointed out his middle name was Ben, prompting an outrage from Jack. He had thought that he said that name a few minutes ago, but Eugene pointed out that he didn't.

It ended with Jack quite angry at Eugene, but they still love each other. However, my next run will involve a trip to Professor Van Ark's place to further investigate the start of the zombie outbreak. It will surely be a nice run, considering it will span ten kilometers.

Until next time, see you later!

So, Why don't Zombies eat Snowmen?

... Did you guess? Because they will get brain freeze!

That was the unfortunate opening joke during today's run. Jack was still without Eugene by his side due to his stomach virus. And he definitely took Eugene's "stay on air as long as possible" quite seriously. So seriously, in fact, that when Eugene returned, Jack was knocked out, snoring in-between songs.

But during his sleep deprived state, he came up with a quite interesting idea for listeners to send messages that could be played on Radio Abel. They could be about anything, from simple help, tips, or Z-bay listings. And questions are always welcome.

Maybe his suggestion might be put into place someday.

The rest of the run was very relaxing. My personal performance was seven minutes and fifty seconds per mile for four miles. I am slowly improving my speed, and soon, I might be able to beat my high school time of five minutes and twenty seconds per mile...

Or maybe in a couple years.

Near the end of the run, Jack made an interesting discovery. He was supposed to report about a possible SPAM poisoning a couple days ago, the same night that Eugene got ill. Eugene was quite upset, though he forgave Jack.

The days keep on passing by quickly. It won't be much longer until Christmas. Until next time, take care!
