"No....this can't be happening!"
I calmly started to back away and once i've reached the front door, i practically ran inside and quietly shut the door."Honey, what's wrong?" A woman spoke up. I jumped slightly and quickly turned around to see my middle aged mom in her bathrobe. I stared at her with horror. How am i supposed to explain what i just saw? Even i couldn't believe i just witnessed my first zombie breakfast right infront of me and come to think of it, i knew that woman that was being devoured. She was a family friend that lived next door to us. I didn't know how she got caught by a zombie but perhaps she was taking a walk outside to get her mail and the zombie saw her? I didn't know and i didn't think i wanted to know. I couldn't believe this was happening. It seemed like just yesterday, everything was alright. No eaten soul in sight. No decaying body rotting in the sun and now i wake up to see that the world has practically gone to shit right before my eyes.
"Rodney?" My mother called my name which broke me out of my terrifying thoughts."You look like you've seen a ghost. Or worse." I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to think of something to say."Mom....I...remember how the other night when we were watching a zombie movie and you kept joking about how an apocalypse would never happened because it seems almost...impossible?" I questioned and she nodded."Why? What's wrong? What did you see?" I took a deep breath before continuing."The world we know...used to know...has gone to shit." I cursed. I didn't normally curse infront of my mother but right now, i didn't care. I was too terrified to keep my language clean."Rodney, what is the meaning of this? What do you mean everything has gone to shit? What did you see outside!?" I noticed the look on her face and she was starting to become terrified like me.
"I...I saw our neighbor, Ms. Walker. She was...she was..." "She was what, Rodney?" I watched my mother come closer to me."She was being eaten by a...by those things we call zombies." I finally spoke. I watched the color from my mom's face leave. She then turned around and started to walk straight to the door."M-mom...I don't think that's the best..." I thought she was going to open the door and walk right out but instead, she looked through the small window that was on the side of our door. She pulled back the small curtains and looked out."Oh my gosh!" She slowly walked backwards."What do we do...?" She questioned. I sighed deeply. I've seen enough zombie movies and watched The Walking Dead a million times to know that we need to start making our survival kit.
"Mom, why don't you check the tv and the internet for the news. Hurry, though. They could cut the electricity off any minute." She nodded."And what are you going to do?" "I'm going to see if there's anything we can use and foods we can eat that won't go bad." I replied then jogged towards the kitchen."Hurry, mom!" I quietly shouted. I didn't want to practically yell and a zombie nearby might hear and start coming after us. My mom ran towards her bedroom while I looked through the kitchen. My mom had just went to the grocery store before the world has gone to shit so we had plenty of bottled water and canned foods. It was too bad we couldn't take things like juice and other refrigerated stuff. Those things will definitely go bad if they're kept out of the fridge for too long. I softly sigh. I've always thought that surviving in a zombie apocalypse would be fun but I didn't want to actually go through one. Everything I knew would be gone. That meant no more home cooked meals, no more school, (yes, I like school) no more hanging out with friends, no more fast foods, no more....anything.
I quickly shook my head, trying to break my thoughts."Mom, have you find anything out?" I called out."Yeah! Come here!" I walked out of the kitchen and towards her bedroom. I walked over to her and sat down next to her on the bed and looked at the news website on her laptop. I then grabbed the remote and turned the tv on. I prayed that we still had power. Once the tv turned on, I clicked to the news channel and saw that there was a huge broadcast about what's happening right now. There was a man giving an report out on the field. My mom looked up and watched the news with me.
"Elizabeth, I don't know what's going on but everything is turning for the worst. It seemed like only just last night, everything was alright and now today, you see rotting bodies and humans getting eaten alive. I don't know what to say about this." The man got quiet then pressed his fingers to his earpiece on his ear."I just received news from the government. It seems like the SWAT team is trying to gather everybody to head into the big cities. They think that this is the best plan in order to survive for what's coming next."
"John..." The cameraman called out.
"What?" John questioned.
He turned around to see a zombie coming after him."Oh shit! Head back to the car!" John and the cameraman ran back to their news van while the camera was still going. The cameraman hopped in and waited for John to get in when the zombie pulled him back and started to nom on his neck. John screamed out. The cameraman quickly closed the door."NO! WAIT!" John attempted to yell out. The cameraman wasn't going to risk himself getting eaten too so he climbed onto the front seat and started up the car then started to drive off.
The cameraman faced the camera onto him."I'm going to head back to the news station and see if everybody is still there. Oh shit!" A zombie jumps on the car and the car starts swerving then started to turn over. That's when the camera stops rolling and there's just static. I just stared at the tv. I couldn't believe what I just saw. I grabbed the laptop and quickly checked the news website to see that we lost our connection.
"Dammit!" I cursed.
Now we're really deserted without internet and tv. I was just glad that we were able to see what's up before we lost it. Now we have to figure out what to do. Do we stay in our house where it's secured? Or leave and try to find a group?
