Chapter 3 - Radio

I reached home with my family in someone's car. I entered the house and closed the door, kept a huge furniture so that not a single infected person can get inside. Serena took Sophia to her room and, said to keep it lock. I closed all the curtains and, told my dog to keep quiet, he has also worked with me when I was a solider. I saw out from the curtains and saw that infected people were jumping on the the people who were running, many of them became infected and stopped in front of their house.

I opened the TV with no sound because, we can also read the headlines. It was quiet around, I again saw out side, no one was there. It was night 9. I just increased voice of TV and sat on the couch with my wife. " There is a unknown infection getting spread by an unknown source in New York, in just 6hr half of the New York as got infected. Now our president is going to come live", reported the reporter.

" This is your president, I am here to speak about things going in New York. A new virus has born which is making people walking dead or zombie. I am requesting the people of New York to keep inside their house and do not come out of your house till it is an emergency purpose. I am sending army which will rescue all of you. If there is anyone infected then pls tell other so they don't come near you, because no one knows when, what will happen. Keep enough food for a week, emergency batteries and also a radio because from now most of the news are going to get broadcast on radio." President takes a long breath and continue, " electricity in New York is going to get down from 10 to night 1 am, I wish all the citizens all the best and stay alive"

After the speech all the electricity was cut off. Sophia was coming down, I know she was scared but, I will teach her to be strong at this time of life. She sat on the lap of her mom. I was asking Serena and I start to discuss, do we have all the necessary things. A new problem emerged, we were not having a radio. Sophia said in middle, " Our neighbor who lives on the other side of road has one." I thought I can go there quietly and bring the radio and any essential thing, but Serena was not allowing me to do so. The thing was that, I have to go out because, all the news in going to get broadcast on radio.

I got in the basement there was my old stuff. I opened the cupboard and took my pistol, got an torch, and a silencer if I need to shoot. Sophia was in her room. I opened the door and said, " as I go out close the door and keep that wood plank on the door so, that when I come back it will be easy to open the door faster but, if something happens put that furniture again to block the door."

I just got out slowly, there were many of the infected people on the road. I crossed the road and reached the other side. Suddenly, all the street lights got open, I just forgot it is 1am when the electricity was going to come back in New York. All the zombies on the street saw me, before they catch me I got into the house. All were banging the door loudly, I put a couch on the door. I start to see around windows were covered with curtains. I got into the kitchen, it was dark. I opened the lights, there was a infected person inside. He attacked on me. I rolled on the floor, sat on the knees, aimed on the head and just shoot him.

zombie inside the house died, but the loud noise of the gun attracted all the zombies which were far away. I got up and put the silencer on my gun. I should do this first. These types of mistakes can cause my life. I went on the first floor. I got many resources and the radio. I saw outside the window of first floor. All the zombies were still mad, trying to break the door." They will be able to break it", I thought.

Sophia was standing and seeing me through her binoculars. I just gave her a symbol that I am going to call. I can't call them without telling because, phone also create noise. After a minute a called her and she took it up. " listen Serena, look out of the window. You will be able to see many zombies trying to get in the house " suddenly street lights got off. I continued, " Ok-k I think zombies destroyed the tower. This is the best chance to save me. now listen carefully, go in the basement, you will be able to see a cupboard, open it." " yes I got it." she answered. " There will be a small launcher which is used to throw tear gas. take it. OK now-w check in the shelf drawer there will be some flares pick them up and launch it away from me so zombies will be able to see light and get attract towards it."( flare guns can't be used here because we use it for signal and it burns down in the sky) I just stopped. I heard like they have broke half of the door and trying to get in.

Serena launched the flares on the road, all the zombies saw the light and started to run towards it. This was my time to escape them. I came out and ran as fast as I can. I took a apple in my hand and thrown it on a car parked very far. As the apple hit the car, siren started to make noise all around which took the zombies more far from their house. I got in, I kept all the resources and went upstairs in my room. I on the radio and got to listen that, infected people has dominated the power supply house also.

"President of America has sent an army to rescue the people from New York City, many of them had got rescued and many of them are still inside the city, all the refugees are staying in New Jersey. The problem is the citizens of New Jersey are not accepting the refugees because, they may spread virus in their states also."
