Eternal Darkness

3 days ago. I suddenly jolted awake. Half asleep, I managed to stumble to the bathroom. I peered into the mirror and said, “Hello handsome.” Smiling and amusing myself, I got into some clothes and went downstairs. I hadn't seen my family yet. “Must have slept in.” I thought to myself. I reached inside the fridge to see it was off and all the food had gone unpleasant. “Did the power go out?” I continually asked myself. I went to check on the breaker box, but it was perfectly fine. Confused, I went inside to wake my parents up, but they were truant! Then I looked on the side of the bed and saw a note. Struggling to hold back tears, I read the note, “Dear James, Hi baby. I'm sorry but federal agents forced us out of our home and we couldn't get to you. I cried for hours. I hope you can find us. We are heading to the City of Atlanta. Try to make it there. Love, Mom and Dad,” the note read. I immediately headed upstairs to get the essentials. I bolted down the stairs and snatched some food from the pantry. I opened the door to the garage and hopped inside my dad’s Hummer. I tried to open the garage but it did not open. So, I put the vehicle in reverse and slammed into the door. I broke out and switched back to the driving gear and as I was pulling away a person started banging on the passenger door. I opened the door. A pizza delivery boy named Jeffrey hoped in. He screamed at me to drive, so I punched the pedal to the metal and drifted away. Jeffrey then thanks me and then says, “Thanks, some Walkers almost got me.” I then asked him, confused, “What's a walker?” He looked at me very surprised, “A walking corpse,” said Jeffrey, “A horrible, other-worldly thing. If it scratches or bites you…you're a dead man.” I then looked outside and saw all the horrible rotting faces. I even saw one zombie ripped in half and saw more than I wanted to. “All these corpses were humans.” I thought to myself. Then I asked Jeffrey, “Can we save them?” “Nope,” said Jeffrey, “That's the government's problem.” I am feeling bad for all these people. We soon needed to fill up, so I pulled over at a gas station. Luckily, gas does not need electricity to pump. There was a problem though: you needed to go inside and pay for the gas. So Jeffrey and I headed inside. The pungent air of rotting flesh stings our noses as we walk to the cash register. Jeffrey then whispers, “In order to kill a Walker, it needs to be shot or bashed in the head.” I nod OK and siphon gas from the station to the gas tank. Then we go back to the car and fill it up to the full amount. We also filled some gas tanks, so we would be OK in the long run. Jeffrey then said, “I never asked what your name is Mr.?” “My name is James.” I said. “What's your name?” “Jeffrey!” He says, “My name is Jeffrey!” NOW. We stopped by a Tesla store and decided to go in just in case there was food in the employee lounge. We head in and are greeted by a feminine robot. It then asked us if we would like to buy a car and I, out of instinct, said, “Just browsing.” She nodded and we headed to the employee lounge and found some food, and then thought, since it was the end of the world, we could do anything! We headed to the manager's office and it sounded eerily quiet. We get ready to attack but nothing happens so we just mess around. Out of nowhere, a tiny robot jumped on me! It makes no sound, it just crawls across me. It’s very cute and is completely black, boxy, and has one big purple square eye. Also, it has a cute little antenna on its back. I looked at it for less than a second and immediately wanted to keep it. So then Jefferary says, “Is it going to be loud?” “No,” I said, “He is completely harmless and quiet!” Jefferary just said OK and we walked to the hummer. I sat in the car and said, “I'm naming him Beans!” He cuddled in my lap, rolling around like crazy. We were both very happy to have beans. We soon passed by a small quant town called Parma in Idaho. We have made a lot of progress since we started in Washington State. As soon as we stop to get more water, a walker comes up behind us and almost bites me. I fell down, hitting my head. It starts to get really hard to see. Then the Walker jumps on top of me as I try to hold his head away from me, he gets launched off of me. Surprised, I stood up, my head still in a swivel. I looked around to say thank you to Jeffrey for saving me. But then I saw another person. The mysterious man then says, “No need to thank me but, if it wasn't for me you'd be that walker's breakfast.” Before I could say anything he then said, “Anywho, where ya heading?” Jeffrey then manages to whimper out, “Atlanta City.” The mysterious man then said, “Georgia! That's where I'm headed, do you mind if I tag along?” I say not at all, and he hops in the back. He is then startled by Beans and almost hits him, but then we say he's a friend and he settles down. The mysterious man finally tells me his name, “Hitler.” He says, “My name is Hitler.” Happy I say, “Nice to meet you Hitler!” I said. I was really happy that we had now made a brand new friend! We rode away in our Hummer and we took a quick stop near a hardware store. We all headed inside and found some guns! Then a big walker, 2 times the size of a normal one walked in and saw us. It sprinted at us, full speed. “Time to use these new guns to some use!” Said Hitler. He shoots the walker right in the head and it falls over lifeless. We headed to a gas station. My ears ring when the trigger is pulled in this enclosed space. Everyone is looking at me weirdly, or…BEHIND ME! I turned to look behind me and there was a massive horde of walkers. We are all immediately frightened. So we all start boarding up the windows to keep them out. They all growled crazily. Frightened, I slammed the front door. Then, a new sound emerges. A dirt bike!
