* * * * Five Months Ago * * * *
Coming downstairs, I saw my parents watching the daily morning news, "Sunrise daily", when
they reported breaking news saying, ' There are reports of the undead biting people’s heads and eating
their brains while the bitten victims come alive again', the reporter said as fast as he could-with a
worried look on his face.
'RUN FOR YOUR LIVES', he added screaming right into the news camera just before the news
went off air.
SORRY but there’s no time for formalities.
‘Pack your things ', my dad shouted, "Dad I’m sure it’s all a bunch of fake ne….” I was interrupted by my
phone buzzing with notifications from my friends and family all over the world. One saying, ' there are
reports of all over the world, about the dead coming back to life, people are biting by un known
creature, I call them ZOMBIES, if you see one now, RUN!!!! ', it said, “oh my God, there’s a zombie
apocalypse happening all over the world", I thought to myself, I was interrupted by my dad shouting, 'I
said pack your things', "Okay", I replied shouting, while running back to my room.
Opening the door, I was shocked at what I saw before me, it was a zombie on my window
trying to break the glass, " Ahhhhhhhhhhh", I screamed in utter terror, ' what ', my dad shouted while
running upstairs, " a-a-a z-zom-zombie o-on m-m-my window", I said stammering and shaking, shocked
by the scene in front of me, ' don’t worry Alexa, I’ll be right there with you', my dad said running even
faster up the stairs.
Still frozen solid by the shock, I barely realized that the zombie had broken my window and
was running straight for me. How would you feel if such a thing happened to you? Well that’s how I felt,
my heart racing and my life flashing before my eyes-WOW I have not done a lot, but luckily for me, dad
arrived right on time and grabbed me, pulling me out and shutting the door.
We ran downstairs where we met mom who was prepared and had already packed our food
and clothing in a very small bag, " That’s why I love my mom, always ready", I thought to myself, ' Let’s
go', dad shouted, opening the door and heading out, thankfully our neighbors fully packed and already
on their way stopped to give us a ride, my dad was hesitant at first but agreed soon enough after
realizing that we had nowhere else to go, soooo, he agreed and we entered into the car and drove away,
thankfully, it was before those zombies came, " WAIT, WHAT… ZOMBIES", I thought and turned my back to see a bunch of zombies matching our speed, " ZOMBIES", I screamed, " Ahhhhhhh, their catching up
fast", I screamed, " Drive, drive, drive", Dad shouted, Mr. Finn increased his speed, ‘ Ah, those runners’,
he shouted, ' s**t, s**t ', he added while increasing his acceleration, I grabbed anything close to me, I felt
something rock hard, meaning, I-grabbed-Lucas, oh my gosh, his cologne is so intoxicating, I could feel
his Abs-hard as a rock, " Stop imagining Alexa", I scolded myself, " Yeah, yeah", I added, still I thought, I
just wish I could stay like this-FOREVER,( By the way Lucas has been my crush ever since we stepped into
the neighborhood, Yeah, I know they call it love at first sight), ' we lost them', Mr. Finn shouted, ' No
one can match my speed ', he boasted, Immediately, we saw another zombie running towards us while
shouting, " Mr. Finn, look out", I shouted after letting go of Lucas, I suddenly felt cold afterwards, Mr.
Finn turned the car around, causing me to fall back on Lucas again, " Mr. Finn, would you stop", I
thought, ' s**t, the screaming', he shouted, screamers? I thought there were only the runners, there’s
still so much I don’t know about them.
Mr. Finn turned the car around making a perfect circle, now facing the zombies, he headed
straight at them and BOOM, we hit, causing them to scream even more, and guess what, we had made
the others angry, guess the screamers alarmed them.
Mr. Finn headed an unknown destination, 'where are we going Robert', (who’s by the way
Ruth) asked, ' We are going to the place where this all began', Mr. Finn replied, " where it all began?", I
thought, then I was distracted by the movement under the car, " did you feel that", I asked Lucas, he just
acted as if I was speaking gibberish, hmm, what a snob, I felt this movement again. I saw a zombie creep
out of under the car, immediately, " Ahhh, Mrs. Finn ", I shouted, I was too late, the zombie had already
gotten a hold of her hair, I mean why would she even leave the window of her door open, ' ahhhhh',
Mrs. Finn shouted, ' Mom!!!!', Lucas shouted, while grabbing her hand, trying to pull her back into the
car, at this point Lucas and the zombie were having a tug of war, in this situation, the zombie was
winning, ' Get your filthy hands away from my wife!!', Mr. Finn shouted removing a gun out of his
drawer and shooting the zombie three times on his head, and some gooey disgusting things fell on Mrs.
Finns face and Lucas’ well-built hand, “No not the hands” I shouted in my head, ' That’s what you get for
messing with the Finns', Mr. Finn shouted, where did he even get a gun, as if reading my mind, dad
asked him, ' where did you get that gun Robert?', 'Duh, I’m a scientist, our life is always at stake', Mr.
Finn replied, I never knew, I’m just discovering new things fast, I can’t process this, Ahhhh .
We arrived at an unknown destination at 7 o’clock pm, everywhere was dark and scary, what
if there’s a zombie here, no, Mr. Finn would never give us to the zombies, I think, Oh my Gosh, I’m just
confused right now, I just want to sleep.
Mr. Finn parked his car in the garage of the place, he came out and signaled us to come out
also, while coming out, I tripped and braced myself for the pain, but I felt something g different, it was
hard, opening my eyes, I realized that Lucas had caught me, we stared into each other’s eyes until we
heard the sound of someone clearing his throat, Awkward!!! Standing up and thanking Lucas, I balanced
myself and went to my mom’s side who was talking to Mr. Finn, " Mom can you please hand me the
food bag", I asked, ' sure honey ', she replied, handing the food bag to me, unzipping it, I removed a bag of chips, unzipping it and giving it back to mom, I silently walked to a corner, sat down and silently ate
my chips.
It’s now 10 o’clock and everyone gathered together, altogether we were six, I walked and sat
at the available space left-close to Lucas, I sat down and folded my legs up, ' Okay let’s try and calm
down', Mr. Finn started talking, ' Who has a question ', Mr. Finn added, " Me ", I said raising up my
hands, ' ok, You', Mr. Finn said pointing to me, " Mr. Finn (he interrupted me by saying, ' call me
Roberts') he said, " ok Mr. Roberts", I continued, earning a stare from him, " ok ,ok, Roberts, what do
you me by, ' we are all going to the place where we all began'? ",I asked curiously, ' Yeah, now that’s a
good question right there', he praised me as he started explain.
