Day 428
By: Hayley Michelle Trachtenberg
             
            Day 428. This is Erica Anderson reporting in with CSN, Live from Montevallo, Kentucky. As you can see behind me, I can’t. The winds have picked up yet again, causing hard vision and eye irritation if exposed to it for pro-longed periods of time. The infection is airborne, with the winds spreading this new “Tzarska” Plague all of the United States.  We here at CSN news still advise all viewers to STAY INSIDE. It is my responsibility, as well as the news crew and the documentary team to be out researching and reporting this aerial plague and we cannot stress enough that it can be detrimental to your survival if you attempt to do what we are doing. We are professionals… Maybe not at this, but we are trying the best we can. We go out and report like we always did. The environment may have changed, but our jobs have not. This is our job… my job, and I will do it until I can’t anymore. Here at CSN, we are on top of the trama center, at the center of the storm, 24/7 hours a day… 428 Days… The weather seems to be constant, if not increasing in speed. Day 428 of the same forecast… the same forecast with the same outcome, every day. For 428 days…. Excuse me, This is Erica Anders, signing off with CSN…
