Amelia was stuck right now and she knew that weapons were not going to fall from the sky. So what could she do? Just sit up on the roof tops like some trapped bird in a cage? Yeah, that is all she could really do right now. She didn't feel confident in trying to jump from rooftop-to-rooftop. Maybe she could travel in the darkness of the alleyways. Those creatures moved on the ground really fast. She wanted to call them zombies but she was unsure if they were really zombies. Zombies were creatures that came back from the dead. She didn't know if these things were dead or had been dead at all. There had been rumors about people being involved with experiments for money. Could these globby-swamp-thing-looking-creatures actually be alive? She didn't want to think about that right now. All she was trying to do right now was to survive. She looked down into the alleyway, was this really the best way to survive these things? She knew a few places that sold automatic weapons, but they would probably be all picked over. It wouldn't hurt to look though. She needed to get a real weapon to defend herself from whatever these creatures really are. Now, she felt like something was watching her right now and she was sure that there were no creatures up on the roof with her. Unless these creatures learned how to scale buildings. She shouldn't think that way, she dug into her pants and took out her cell phone and unlocked it. No signal. What was that all about?
Her phone hasn't been working lately. She wondered if there was interference in the cell towers around Chicago. Or maybe some monster had knocked the towers down. It would have to be a giant monster to knock those things down. Mothman had been rumored to be sighted in the city. That was before these creatures showed up. Maybe Mothman had delivered these creatures to the city. That was an interesting theory, there was no way she could prove that. Well, not right now. When someone felt like something was watching them, it was usually a spirit or Mothman. Maybe Mothman was actually trying to protect people from the creatures that were in the city right now. She looked down and the creatures were gone. Maybe now she could go find a real weapon of some sort.
Now she was wondering how she was going to get back on the ground. She ran to the other side of the building and noticed another fire escape. Yup, that is how she was going to get down. She raced down the fire escape and when her feet touched the ground she let out a big sigh of relief. She really did it hate heights and was just up on that roof-top to try and get away from the creatures and she had gotten away from the creatures. She looked around sighed. "Now the fun part." Locating something she could really defend herself with.

Now with these beast of a truck, he could leave Chicago if he really wanted to. There was something keeping him here and he didn't know what it was. He turned on the radio in the truck and there was nothing, no music, no static. The signal just wasn't there. He hasn't checked his cell phone in quiet sometime. If there wasn't any radio signals, he doubted there would be a cell signal. If he wanted to talk to other people, he would have to dig up some walkie-talkies. He doubted that there would be any place in the city that still had that shit. It was an outdated technology and people rarely used them nowadays. Now maybe with the radio stations, maybe there just weren't any people there to broadcast stuff. Maybe all of the people just vanished. He hated seeing Chicago like this, so run-down, so dead. Everything was dead. That is what would happen during an zombie apocalypse right? He didn't expect it to be like this. It was different in the hollywood movies. He expected to be apart of a group fighting zombies right now and living in some abandoned farmhouse or something.
He knew there was an Wal-Mart about five miles away from where he was. Maybe he could find more supplies there. Yeah, a supply run. He'd just find as much shit as he could and he would throw it into the back of the truck. He thought he heard wings flapping in the sky, he hung his head outside the window and looked up and there was nothing up in the sky. That was weird, really weird. Now if demons started to randomly show up, now that'd be interesting and not out of the ordinary right now. He should see if there was anything useful in the truck, he didn't want to be in the parking lot for much longer. He's pretty much a sitting duck right now and yes that pun was intended. Five miles so that should only take a few minutes and a store like Wal-Mart was probably going to be picked over. Most everything would probably be gone anyways. He had to do what he had to do. That wasn't the only store in the area, it was just the biggest one in the area. The truck was still running, he was listening to the engine rumble. He drove it out of the parking lot and he was surprised he didn't see any of those creatures he had seen earlier. Right now he could mow them over. He drove for about ten minutes until he hit the Wal-Mart parking lot. Like everything else in the city, the parking lot was empty. He parked the truck and looked towards the Wal-Mart through his windshield. What was he going to find in there? He didn't really know. He had a bad feeling about this, it was a feeling he got before something really bad happened. He didn't want to think about that right now. He needed to get into the store to get supplies. He was just procrastinating right now.
