Thud, thud, thud.
It's what I woke up to. There was screaming all
around me and I had no idea what was going on.
I live in Georgetown, a nice
town in DC. It is a nice little college town. I can't remember much,
but I remember news of a pandemic. We discussed it in my AP Bio
Class and they said it was under control, one of those "stan" countries had
some weird virus. All the western governments said it was nothing to
worry about. I left class that day in a good mood, something nice and
fresh in the air. I headed home, played some COD, had some booze, and
hit the sac.
As I woke up, I looked outside my window, it was
chaos. I had no idea what the hell was happening. Cars all over the
roads, weapons scattered, and smoke rising from DC. Was it an attack? I
had no idea! I decided to barricade my idea for the better. I quickly
got to my Dell, and took a look on CNN. Any website I visited had some
emergency logo sign, like those annoying emergency tests on PBS, except
this was real. It said this, "Stay in a safe place until help finds
you." With emergency and radiation signs all over the webpage. I freaked
out, pulled out my M4. I was in Georgetown's ROTC program, all ROTC
students are given an M4 and 4 mags in the case of an emergency. I said a
quick prayer to our founding fathers for the 2nd amendment (Right to
bear arms).
I soon hear a smash, and something weird entered
my window through the apartment complex, then and there I knew it.
Zombies, they hit us. Several came rushing in, I couldn't do anything. I
sprayed and sprayed. Before you knew it, I was out on ammo, they all
came gushing in. They bit me so hard, the louder I yelled, it seemed
like the more it hurt. Just a few minutes and their feast was over. I
was missing a foot, a bunch of skin, and part of my right arm. Blood was
everywhere, something caught their attention, they swarm quickly left.
I could move, but very slowly. I became more and
more tired by the minute. Soon, I closed my eyes, with a hell of a fever
in my head.
I wake up, feeling different. I
feel light, agile, and fast, most of all, famished. I get up, limping I
run and find some other guys like me, we are all yelling. Heading
toward the metro station, we might find some 'steak' there. We tumble
down the fifty foot long escalator toward the metro to see fresh meat! We
run as fast we can, as we would love a nice meal. However there is
something missing, I can't tell what it is. My senses are weird, as I
feel a lot different than what I was before, what was I? I have no idea
who I am, what these things are next to me, and what we are doing. It
feels like some pull toward a pack. As we get to the metro station, some
sort of thing comes fast, stops, and picks up what was to be our feast!
We all run to try stop it, but as it accelerates, we lose several parts
of our.... who knows? As of know, i have no arms, and 1 leg. Moving is a
bit more difficult, but it takes me no effort.
As we start back up the
escalators, a large boom is heard. We look above to see several things
in the sky, maybe fresh food! Suddenly, it is extremely bright, and we
cannot see. There is fire everywhere. Most of the pack
is now ashes, however, the rest of us have no idea what just happened,
but we head toward the direction of the bang, in search for a satisfying
meal for our empty... carcasses?
