3RD PERSON POV
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa32Nfc3E0T
"It has been announced on the local news this morning" Evan turned to his best friend, pointing at the group of other students standing in groups of twos and threes in front of the school gates
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrhdOUUH90
"Told ya" Evan and Michael has been best friends for the longest of time, they come to school together every morning, either Evan goes to Michael's house or the other way around
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovLRiP2WjN
Thirty minutes earlier Evan had told Michael school was cancelled but due to Michael studious nature, he wanted them to go to school to make sure, Evan had complained about it till they got to school
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTUMPbL3l
He is making sure he milks the fact that he was right because that rarely happens between them "you're just too big of a nerd to let school go for a day, are you happy we had to come all the way here just to find I'm right" Evan glares at the back of Michael's head thinking about how ridiculous Michael is when it comes to school, he believes in nothing but books "yeah something crazy happened at my Dad's work yesterday, some people were biting others, it is like a freaking zombie dude" Michael rolls his eyes after hearing the word zombie smacking his classmates with a folder to give him a reality check
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX15kwMC6i
"what did you do that for" he whines rubbing his arm "dude, zombie? seriously?" He rolls his eyes again, scoffing at the absurdity of Nathaniel's words "when last have you been online, I'm sure your head was buried in organic chemistry throughout the weekend, maybe you could have seen the video going about" Michael sighs still finding their thought process stupid, the two guys talking are also the set that believes in conspiracy theory "dude, you saw the video too?" Evan interrupts Michael who was about to give them a piece of his mind "I have it too, it is just unreal" Rex said in disbelief "so was your mum when she named you the name of a dog" Nathaniel jabs, raising his hand to high five anyone, they all just glared at him "what video Evan" Michael turns to him, he does not care most of the time but whenever school is involved he get interested
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbunfomoVBA
he eyes them suspiciously knowing they can tease him about things and never really happened just because he doesn't really care about social media, that is not the first time that that will happen "prove or it never happened" Evan fishes for his phone in his pocket
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgVv1q9Sp1
he scrolls through Facebook trying to remember the page he had seen it in, he typed in the keyword, the video was the first to pop up, he gave the phone to Michael who watched with an annoyed expression "dude, this is just a druggie being a druggie" Evan shakes his head urging him to keep on watching
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp5aTyAN3o
An intoxicated looking man ran after a pedestrian, she screamed loudly running as fast as she could but the attacker caught on to her
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnyQjiLu83
people on the street did nothing about the bizarre scene until they saw blood, the druggie had just bitten the lady, Michael felt scared when the druggie looked directly at the camera
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSujnrH7XjF
the camera started capturing jumbled movements, the person holding it must have started running, Evan collected his phone from Michael "this is not the worst part Mike, before the paramedics arrived the injured woman had started chasing the bystanders violently" Mike isn't the one to believe things online "it could have been AI" he shrugged "everything can be faked nowadays" even his own word sounds absurd to him
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0MltC4glc
that doesn't look fake, he thought
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ZFyiJCxH
and if it was they all must must be good actors and actresses, his mind isn't settled but he doesn't believe such nonsense could occur in real life, why will someone ever become a zombie, nothing amidst the theory he has even remotely supports the lunacy of what happens in movie becoming their reality
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDuVtAsEV3
Michael nudges his best friend, he nods his head in the direction of their home "I think staying here will make me share the same brain cell with you guys" Evan shakes his head, not finding it new that Michael is always in the opposite direction of the crowd
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB5NrccrEV
Evan waves his other friends goodbye, he flings his arm over Michael's shoulder causing him to stumble forward
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxbDqcv970
they talked about irrelevant things until they came in contact with someone who seemed like an injured person
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbArwo7VMIo
Evan stopped Michael with his hand signaling him to be quiet as the person was backing them in a very slouched manner blood dripping from his out streched hand and what appears to be a gnash on his neck, Michael stopped scared to take a step backward, what if what he had seen earlier was real
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiqYFqGcPe
Evan was busy searching for something he could use as a weapon if the man ever came running at them "are we not supposed to help him" Michael asked quietly "you want to help him go ahead" Evan finally spots a quite thick wood, he asked Michael to back away which he did without hesitation even though he was dying to help the injured person
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKFKGtCi6H
He stepped back quietly, thinking of all the endless possibility of what could be wrong with the individual
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo9BPA5rBo
he knows about the zombie theory he just doesn't want to believe it, he is a literalist believe something as you see fit
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWKvkxrlAh
the reasonable part of his mind kept telling him there is no way someone that injured will be standing upright, he backed into an empty metal waste can that went clang as it hits the ground
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwURiM7trr
They both looked in the direction of the individual, he had turned around, now facing them, analysing them, his eyes red with blood, the side of his left cheek missing like something had taken a bite out of it, his collarbone on display, the Flesh around it like it had been run through a blender
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeXijntHWj
the man's eyes unfocused as he stared in the direction of the source of noise, he looked up suddenly making eye contact with a very scared Michael
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbNPWAqb3h
Evan had his piece of wood ready to be swung, the undead man running towards them in full speed causes Michael to stumble, falling right on the set of stairs
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn4agVtVjW
He rolls violently down the stairs, he landed at the bottom of the stairs with his right hand protecting his head, he stands immediately moaning as he uses the bottom step to support himself, he held his ribs feeling a slight jab in the corner of his chest
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3isl6blEZH
he looks towards the top of the stairs trying to look for his best friend, not long after he sees him running and screaming down the stairs with the undead coming down the stairs like he had done earlier
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwowBX9DP6n
it landed on his skull which cracks open, part of the guts spilling out, blood-spattered everywhere, Micheal started throwing up
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIOkuMjVBy
"we just killed a man" Michael said the thousand time still in disbelief "are you dumb?" Evan's heart is beating rapidly, his hands shaking, he might be known to be one to expect anything, joke about things that are not supposed to be laughed about
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiioc5ClzO
what was happening right there and then is not something he can joke about, the videos were real, zombies now existed and they looked exactly like they did in the books and movies, the reality is absurd, it really isn't happening "it is the end of the world Michael" Evan voiced his thought still shaking uncontrollably
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInsbg8Wr2D
"zombies exist" Michael's thought was a jumbled mess
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVlhRi2ebq
He suddenly starts pulling at Evans clothes aggressively "what about my mother? what about my father?" He yells sobbing uncontrollably "Mike you need to stop yelling, if these are really zombies which I'm sure it is, they are attracted by noise so you need to shut up" Evan holds his wood up in a defensive position after he had pryed Michaels hand away "I have a mother too and a dad so we think rationally so we can save the both of them and both of yours"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C78j8s40A
Evan reasons, he ducks behind a parked car to inspect the alley he needs to take to get to his house
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRClmrrU6M
He signals a very dumbstruck Michael that it was okay "make sure you don't step on anything that makes noise again" Evan warns, stepping out from behind the car, stepping carefully not to make any noise, when he noticed they were in clear he started walking normally, Michael mimicking his action "you watched Z nation right?" Michael shook his head no "they are not as fast as the ones in there" Evan performs the same action he did earlier when they got to the end of the alley
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhSxz33sFe
you can never be too careful, Evan has watched enough zombie shows to know he had to take extra precautions
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rJWTXwcZj
the only thing is that he doesn't really need to check as the street they were on is filled with people running and getting chased, blood splattered on the wall of the houses, cars burning, sounds of obvious horror, people screaming and the loud growling and moaning of the 'zombies', Evan pulls Michael, holding his hand while navigating the safest way to get into his house
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9tlO9UCjj
"my dad has some guns and few bullets" Evan's father is an illegal gun dealer, who knew his shady bussiness was going to pay off "did they ever find a cure in Walking Dead" Michael asked with a shaky voice
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWeB1XxlR6
Evan give a shaky and low no, he clutches Michael's hand
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSpaQxdQQy
just as he was about to run, a armed human swings a baseball bat at Evan which he luckily dodges "it is not even the end of the world yet and people are already crazy" Michael yells as he ran, ducking through bodies and different people running for their lives
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBPjjwT9em
they successfully got to Evan's Door before a loud bang stops the both of them on their tracks
