Braydon got up from his sleeping bag, he was usually the first one up. Like routine, he grabbed a bowl and filled it with milk and cereal. He snatched a wooden spoon of the table and began to eat. He switched on the little T.V, flipping through the channels of static. Suddenly, he saw something that wasn't static. It appeared to be just a comedy show that never aired. Braydon intently stared at the screen, eventually the program ended. But, commercials started to come on. "What the hell..?" Was the first thought that came to his head. Zoë peered her head in, "Braydon?" She asked. "Zoë, come see this." Braydon called her over with a gesture. Zoë stared in amazement as the T.V gave off something they hadn't seen in forever. Eventually the others came in, staring at the little screen like it held the truth of everything. "Is this..real..?" Lucy asked, in awe. "Yeah, it's so..weird, nothing like this has happened in a year." Giannina said, her face giving off a puzzled expression. Eventually the show cut off, revealing a blurred face in a white coat. It just stared at the camera, like it knew everyone's secrets and desires. Braydon shut the screen off, everyone staring at each other with an expression of pure curiosity. Without words, Mr. Legge left the room grumbling about something. Without warning, Parm grabbed Sarah's wrist and pulled her out of the room. "W-What do you think he'll do..?' Andrea asked. "If it's it bad, we plan to stop him." An Indian boy named Gurshawn said, a defiant look on his face. Parm came back, and scanned the room. He started walking towards Braydon and Zoë. "What are you doing?" Zoë asked, in her sweetest tone. In one swift move he had grabbed them both and started pulling, Everyone that hadn't left to go help Sarah started pulling Parm off of the two. Parm hissed and scratched Jaden's face. Jaden held his wound and looked up at Parm. "H...He...He's a zombie!" He shouted, pulling out a Swiss knife. "W-What do we do though..?" Braydon asked. "What we do too all the other zombies." Mr. Legge said in a calm and collected tone.
. There was a slash......
.. A scream......
... And a dripping sound.....
Mr. Legge gave Parm a proper farewell, he built a coffin and dug a hole. Today he was lowering Parm's coffin, a few kids cried. Sarah cried into Andrea's shoulder. That night was quiet, everyone crawled into their sleeping bags and slept, their faces tearstained and red.
One mystery remains...
How did Parm become a zombie..?
