Carmie "Jaws" Gable
Overview
Even before the collapse of modern society, Carmie was not an outside person. She took to quarantine in her apartment quickly, Keeping good contact with her friends and students as she had before. Maybe it was her anxiety, or maybe it was pure dumb luck, but her separation from the outside world is what saved her when the riots broke out, when the armies bombed her city, and when all that remained of the people she lived around all this time was rotting, shambling corpses.
What can be said for sure is that her house arrest was not intentional on her part, the giant rebar beams and cement that trapped her within the collapsed Nottingham Complex when the bombs fell being a blessing and curse. What served as others graves was a sanctuary to her, a doomsday preppers abandoned supplies moved quickly to her room and a retrofitting of some old radio tech her dad left her to become the walls of a cocoon from which no butterfly would spring free.Carmie became more than a washed out english teacher with a slew of ex's and an enjoyment for older music, She was now one of the few voices that could reach to the masses even though none spoke back. The internet was in shambles and she was lonely, could you blame her for wanting some sort of familiarity in the apocalypse, some sense of control? While others fought for their lives in the wastes of america, Carmie called out with her music and her rambling diary-like interludes in some brazen attempt at normality, at bringing back hope to the people around and her and to herself.
Is there anyone out there who knows my name? are there any of my students or friends, who stop in this moment and think to themselves; what the hell ever happened to Carmie Gable?

Carmie talks like she has all the time in the world, which is to be expected of someone in her situation all alone. Shes not great with people face to face, but talking to people through her radio, through a screen or letter, she excels at. She does not fear their expectation or reaction when she cannot see them or hear their voice, watch as their eyes bore holes through their sentences. When she talks in person shes not nearly as confident, but it is enough when she needs it. She can steamroll throughe anyone when her tempers up.
Carmie is someone who shows affection through actions rather than words, showing what she can, could be and wants to be for someone by doing exactly that; or attempting to. A bowl of soup and a blanket or chores done that where anothers to do are what she does so people know she loves them.

I think i loved my dad, i really did. its hard to tell sometimes, y'know, because he wasnt around a lot. he and mom had to pay for my medical bills somehow; i think thats how i know he loved me at least, because he worked his ass off every day. Hed come home all sweaty and gross, but hed bring me a pulled pork sandwich he saved from the lunch rush and a box of potato salad for my mom. She hated his potato salad, i mean she HATED that shit, but she never told him. it had raisins and shit in it, ill never know why he put raisins in it but- ah im getting off track. My mom loved my dad too.
They still died angry at eachother, though. Sometimes i think about that. They fought so much, about my dad setting the grill on fire at work, or my mom throwing out his favorite jeans because they had so many stains on them, about anything and everything and yet they still went to bed every night and lay next to eachother like nothing happened. maybe their fights werent about anything at all, maybe it was jsut a way for them to let out steam. Hell if i know.
todays their anniversery. would be. they died ten years back, my mom got some disease and my dad caught it next. They died next to eachother in bed, TV still running. My mom called me about something my dad did that day, i dont even remeber. just a few hours earlier. And i listened, of course i did, but i wasnt all there. i didnt think that would be the last time i talked to her.
names
- - Excerpt from a radio transmission, C. Gable, 2019 -
- The thesis of A. Suarez was published Jan. 26th , 20XX, in the North Blackwood School Paper
- "He insisted that Shakespeare lacked art, citing how he had described a sea-shore in landlocked Bohemia"
i was born Carmine Jr, My dads name. But everyone calls- Called me Carmie. My dad was always Carmine. I dont think i ever heard anyone call me Carmine, besides my mom when she was pissed. So i guess i havent heard anyone call me by my name- legal, that is- since i was 20. Weird.
My friends used to call me Jaws. Way before "The Collapse", as ive started calling it, Before i Graduated College. i was Jaws. Nobody called me Carmie, or Ms. G, I was Jaws; the guy who ate so many hot dogs during a competition they broke their jaw- well okay i say BROKE but it wasnt broken broken. I hurt my jaw pretty bad. Everyone who knows that nickname thinks its badass until i tell them how i got it, and honestly i dont blame them.
I stopped being Jaws when i got a job teaching highschoolers about Shakespeare. I hate William Shakespeare with a vitrol that permeates into my bones, okay? Hes got some good work but Teaching it every single year as apart of core curriculum gets exhausting. and most of the studnets couldnt stand the bastard either. i remember it was what, my 6th year teaching? when this kid named alejandro dropped a fuckin' thesis on why i should stop making students read shakespear and said
"Ms. G, honestly. I dont even dislike it (hamlet), its just you read it like someones putting nails in your arms"
i laughed my ass off at first, but then i started thinking. god, if this kid hates reading hamlet so much because of me, im going to fix that. So the next week i came into class in one of my ex boyfriends old ren faire costumes, stick on moustache and all, and gave these kids the performance of their lives. I dont care if they where laughing at me or with me, all that mattered was that alejandro didnt look bored about being in class that day.

CARMIE: its been ah..fuck. six weeks now? sixish, i think. since the my uhm. apartment collapsed. i thought i was a gonner, when everything started shaking. really. My therapist said i should keep an audio Diary, way back when before this Walking dead shit started. Im shit about remembering to write things down, ha, but i can talk like a motherucker..that helps. nobody else survived the fall, or they escaped? i cant tell. ive been living of Mr. Berks Apocalypse prep supplies and let me tell you- (*Low Whistle*) i could really go for some fresh kielbasa right now..yeah.
(LONG PAUSE)
CARMIE: fuck, what was i saying? oh right. uhm. mmy aprtment collapsed. i could get out...possibly, but there two tons of concrete and rebar in my way and these wheels are not designed for that. i dont think i want to leave either. its...bad out there. i set up a sort of like- i dont know how to describe it- watchtower? it gives a vantage point to see the bastards without them seeing me. i thought i could ah. tell people about it. y'know, like on NatGeo. when they track migrations. i have some- (*rghhh*)
(METAL CLATTERING SOUNDS, DRAGGING)
CARMIE: i have some radio shit i can set up. i could help people, i guess? send out warnings for when hordes of uglies are coming. heh. maybe i could play some music too. wouldnt that be fucking hilarious. youre jamming out to 99.9 with dj carmie, watch out for the 600 rotting bastards coming to eat you down I95!, now back to the monster mash!
.....maybe i shouldnt. god, what can i do for other people besides give them a false sense of hope? Would i even give them that? id just be some asshole talking to nobody.
(CLICK OF AUDIO RECORDER TURNING OFF)
I did it. i dont know what possesed me to do it, but i did it. i set up a makeshifyt broadcasting station and im uh. going to try and broadcast tonight. see if i can some air help out of here. if anyone can find me.....might play some music anyways. its the end of the world, i guess i can say YOLO.

Helping from Afar
People pass through her city all the time, but carmie cant help close up; so she does what she can from her watchtower, shooting zombies and scattering them with homemade bombs when theyre close enough. Carmie is a deadly shot, great training alongside great eyesight being a boon. She doesnt miss often, and when she does she still kills her target.
Now or never
Just because youre afraid does not mean one cannot be brave, or in this case, reckless and full of courage. Split second decisions are not something you may ever see from Carmie, but when the time comes She will do what it takes to get what she wants. Wether this be throwing a corpse over a hill to attract zombies towards her or breaking a vital support beam to escape her house; theres no telling what might happen. and theres no time to wait
