Hope

Untitled Part 1

It had been 3 years since the virus had taken over. Within that time, buildings were falling apart and the roads slowly turned into strange patches of asphalt with grass and trees sprouting out of every other spot. When the virus started infecting people, the military found it appropriate to lock as many as they could in a building and set it on fire. The result being a burnt building and a pile of corpses that smelt of rot and smoke. Town after town, city after city, state after state, until finally the entire word was facing a breakout of crazed infected that were ripping people apart and either infecting then or eating them. Mostly, they just fed off if their bodies. Since there didn't seem to be anyone left where I was, I hadn't seen then eat any humans. Animals were there main course of appetite and every now and again you'd see them eat each other.
I travel on my feet a lot. I try to stay in one town for at least a week before heading out. Hoping there are survivors like me. I haven't had any luck. Usually the towns are swarming with infected, but every once in a great while you'll get a ghost town. The worst areas are marked. Crazies are an advanced race. You might be thinking I'm crazy for calling partially dead flesh eaters a 'race' but when they take over pretty much 99.96% of the world population, you have no choice but to assume that they are their own race now.
My name is Hope. I moved to a small town in Kansas about four years ago with my fiancé. We planned to start fresh. New jobs, get married, have a baby, and be happy. The day of New Year's Eve, we received news that shocked us both. Our worlds were finally going to change for the better and our plans were falling into place. We were so excited. That very next day, he and I were married and officially Mr. And Mrs. O'Connor.
Months had passed and the exciting new life had just kept coming. Our new little surprise had finally arrived and we were finally settled. Then, out of no where, alarms were blaring through the streets and news channels were going crazy. and out break of a new disease was causing disaster through out the globe. we had known it started in Asia six months before now but everyone expected it to be under control by then. I was familiar with military alarms and protocol. My father was the general at the time and my mother worked in the pentagon, so you could say I was a military brat.
The national guard came through and slowly began to move everyone to protection shelters. Family by family, checking for the virus in everyone. Everyone in my group passed and none of us had to leave our homes. We were devastated. Our lives had just started and and now they were being ripped from us faster than we could have ever imagined.
Scientist said that they could solve the epidemic within a year, but they were too late.
