Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1

I was running down the stairs frantically, running away from them. They were gaining onto me.

I found a door and ran inside, I found a big shelf next to the door. I used all my might to drag it and blocked the door just in time.

They kept banging on the door really hard. I found a window and decided to jump out. Good thing I wasn't high above the ground, I jumped for my life and I landed on my arm, I think I broke it.

I ran down the alleyway, while holding my broken arm. When I came out from the alley, I could see that the zombies had gotten everywhere. There was fire and chaos. I was at work when they attacked me.

Suddenly, a old rusty jeep pulled up in front me. The glass rolled down and I saw it was my co-worker, Jack.

"Get in" Jack said, while I hurriedly got in.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked with worry shown on his face.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but I think I injured my arm" I said while pointing at my right arm.

"There's a first aid kit under your seat" He said.

I took out the first aid kit and bandaged my arm.

We drove down to my house, since his house was already attacked.

When we got there, I locked all the doors and windows and I still double checked.

We both sat down and we were thinking of a way to stop an apocalypse from happening, when I heard banging on the door. I turned to Jack and asked, "Do you hear that?"

"Yeah, I think it's coming from the front door" He replied as we both turned our gaze to where the sound was coming from.

Jack stood up and said, "I'll be right back"

I grabbed his hand and told him not to go, because it could be dangerous.

But he insisted on going, so I just let him.

Suddenly, I heard an loud scream. I ran towards the door and saw two zombies feasting on Jack's brain. Then suddenly, one of them turned to me and started leaping towards me really fast.

I quickly took a vase and threw it at the zombie but I missed. The vase landed on the floor and broke to pieces. That caught the attention of the second one. They both started coming towards me and so I started running. I ran to the backdoor and unlocked it really fast.

Then I ran up to Jack's car and got in. Good thing he left the keys there. I started up the car and drove it. There were a lot of them in way, but I just ran them over.

I found a nearby store and decided to stay there for now. I parked the car outside the store and entered. I walked for around for a while until I found a storage room. I opened it and got inside. As I was closing the door, I felt something hard hit my head and then everything went dark.

I woke up surprised to find myself tied up to a chair and with a man and a little girl looking at me. The man looked hefty and he had a gun in his hand, while the little girl just looked frightened.

"Who are you, and why did you tie me up" I asked the hefty looking man.

"I know you're one of them" He said looking at me with disgust.

"What makes you think that I'm a zombie" I asked him.

"Well because..... um... okay, I don't know" He said.

"Well then,pls untie me" I said angrily

He walked towards me and untied the ropes from my arms.

"Daddy, why did you tie the nice lady?" the little girl said to the man.

" I thought she was a zombie, I was just trying to protect you" he said to the little girl.

The man apologized and told me that he had been living in the store for two days after his house was attacked. And his name was James.

We all talked for a while before he left to go get some food and told me to watch the little girl.

After a while he came back and we ate.

We all stayed there for a few days before we hit the road.
