I left Sandra to stand guard on the facility and I took four of the remaining
personnel and went out to the garden areas. To gather any remaining vegetation
that we could use for food. Fortunately, there was quite a bit left for us to gather. We put it all together. Enough food for a few months. I prayed that would be enough to get us through the trials that we were faced with. It was the evening of the second day. When I saw the first of the Raiders. Approaching the facility, I wondered why God hadn't struck them down. The facility had numerous Defensive capabilities. But he did not strike. More and more gathered around the building. Thousands of people. And they started fires and set up camp. I wondered if the other elders were not smarter than I with all of this Enemy gathered around me. Sandra and I laid down that night. The swarms of people around the facility. Making lots of noise and lots of fires burning. Constant screams could be heard. And I knew they were cannibals. These were vicious beasts not civilized people. On the third day, we could look at the monitors and see that the crowd had completely swarmed the facility. Knowing that, they had probably found some way to make ladders to get to the top. I wonder why the monitors didn't show any of them
walking around up there. I soon had my answer. One had peeped up over the edge
of the ramparts. The laser fired immediately and they disappeared. For weeks they piled up fires on the walls of the facility. And the around the door, and the entrance. But this did little more than leave marks of suet on the walls, on the doors. It was strange. The people even started camping right up next to
the walls of the facility, using it to shield the winds at night and the cold. This went on on for a couple of more weeks our food supplies were running extremely low I contacted GOD and asked for assistance but received no immediate response. It was fall, the leaves had turned color and started to turn loose from the trees. Soon snow would be falling.
