We met up with Jill Valentine recently and engaged in an interview with her. What she said was sorrowing from her experiences from Raccoon to the global outbreak that nearly wiped all of humanity away. At least in the universe she came from, it runs the risk of being wiped out. Let’s face it, for us, Jill is getting older. She’s 48 now. Let’s see what she has to say.
UIA Agent: “Miss Valentine. I have a few questions for you.”
Jill: “Ok. Shoot.”
UIA Agent: “I’m just going to go all out. At any time if you feel uncomfortable answering questions we can stop.”
Jill: “On, haha.” (Nervous laugh). “I’m ready.”
UIA Agent: “Ok. Being a survivor of so much, losing so much, how does it impact your day to day life now, having experienced all of that ?”
Jill: “Wow. Um. I don’t know where to begin.”
UIA Agent: “Let’s start with waking up.”
Jill: “Well. I don’t sleep all that much. I get coffee, and still smell everything before I taste it. I don’t watch horror movies, especially zombie movies. I really don’t like spiders or bugs or snake. Every time I see them it reminds me of-“ (Pauses for a few moments). “Of some of those experiences. I think of everything being a possible threat if something like that happens again. I try to stay away from big cities and keep a big field around wherever I live. I keep a weapon very close at all times. I actually don’t have a TV. When I pass road kill I almost panic but I know it’s not- it’s not, or it probably isn’t a zombie walking around, but that smell makes me very alert.”
UIA Agent: “I would imagine. What kind of things trigger traumatic memories ?”
Jill: “I-Day time. I don’t like traveling in the day time. Everyone thinks it’s better to travel in the day, but they are dead wrong. I learned this in Raccoon, when the infected birds could see everything. The zombies could see better in the day too. Everything with eyes could see us easier than at night. The infected were decaying. Their eye sight was poor at night. Day time is a trigger, and that’s why I can’t sleep well during day time. Another trigger is the rotting smell of dead animals. It instantly brings be to Raccoon. The growl of dogs. The hiss of cats. The fall of a heavy tree branch. The screech of a parrot. Let me think. Oh, the flapping of wings. I f**king hate black birds. I don’t like riding on trains anymore. I wash my hands with bottled water before I eat. I only use well water to bathe. I might be forgetting some things but that’s off the top of my head.”
UIA Agent: “Yes. I can imagine. When was your last episode ?
Jill: “Last month. It was- I was for sure it was happening again. I just arrived to Knoxville at about 02:00. I passed a dead deer on the road and it smelled strong just as I pulled into a gas station. And next door was a bar. Some men started to fight. I went inside to get some snacks and drinks and pay for the gas. When I went outside everyone was leaving. One of the guys got hit hard, and he fell. Then the crowd came out and they were stumbling, just like- (nervous pause). Just like they did in Raccoon. When the smell of the deer breezed through and the guy on the ground moaned in pain I pulled out my handgun and went back into the store and told them to call the police. I told them there’s a biohazard and they need to get the guard to contain it. Two drunk men stumbled in and I told them not to move. They put their hands up. They were terrified. I looked at the clerk, and sniffed the air. They just smelled like alcohol. I told them sorry and ran to pump the gas and left. I forgot the snacks and drinks. I can’t be around anyone drunk or else it’ll trigger me.”
UIA Agent: “I’m sorry you still go through this. What you went though can be like war. I’ve experienced war and just the sound of the ballistic snap of incoming bullets is terrifying to me. I don’t live near airports anymore.”
Jill: “Before bed, or even in bed, I can’t get those memories out. I can’t fall asleep right away. I just can’t. I remember my dad and all of the things he taught me that helped me survive. I think of my friends I’ve lost who I wish could be here to talk to. I don’t have too many friends now because nobody can relate to what I was through. I don’t even know where everyone went. We just went our own way. I think of all these things, and worry for my friends who did survive, wondering where they are, and hoping they are safe.”
UIA Agent: “You may yet get to see them again.”
Jill: “I hope so. We are like family.”
UIA Agent: “Thank you for being here with us. Do you have anything you’d like to tell the world ?”
Jill: “What you do in life, make sure it’s worth it and meaningful. Don’t hurt others for temporary selfishness. Live for today, and cherish your friends and family, because tomorrow isn’t always guaranteed.
UIA Agent: “Thank you again. This is our short interview with Jill Valentine. Survivor of the 1998 outbreak in Raccoon City and much more. We look forward to her visiting in the future for more interviews. This is a PTSD awareness documentation with Jill Valentine, survivor of a zombie apocalypse in another dimension.”
UIA Agent: “Miss Valentine. I have a few questions for you.”
