"Alright, today we´re going out to get new supplies. Jeff, Margret, René, you´re coming with me so get packed. I´ll meet you at the gate in ten minutes. Cliff? You´re in command until we get back. And everyone else stays in their houses and keep quiet.", I ordered and everyone nodded. Jeff, Margret and René walked away to get prepared and I walked over to Cliff. "Please be careful, we need you back here.", he said and I smiled. "Don´t worry, I always come back!", I answered, walking to my own house to get prepared. Exactly ten minutes later I met the other three at the gate. "Ready?", I asked and they nodded, following me to my Jeep. I sat in the drivers seat and started driving to the gate, as soon as the others sat down too. Cliff stood at the gate, waiting for us. "Good luck.", he said, before opening the gate for us.

It was quite a long drive to the next city but we all watched our surroundings carefully for potential threats. Today it was quite and that made me nervous. Normally we would cross path with atleast a few of these creatures. We call them Nibbler. They try to bite you and if they are successful, you begin to rot. It starts at the bite and spreads over your whole body, the last thing is always the head. It´s described really painful by those who could run from the Nibbler. Those who couldn´t run were eaten alive. It was rummored that those creatures were from another dimension even though they looked pretty human like.

I mean some have three eyes or no eyes at all, but they all had two arms and two legs. And if you destroy the head, they die. Thats the only method that would work, if you cut them in half, you have two halfes coming after you. I often thought about my life before all this, but that only made me sad and I sometimes cried myself to sleep. But to the others in the camp I always looked like the cold hearted leader I needed to be.

Without any trouble we arrived in the city and climbed out of the Jeep. "Alright, Jeff and Margret. You two go to the pharmacy and get all the pills and bandages you can get. René, you and I go to the supermarket for everything else. Meet you back here in twenty minutes, if something happens you ignite the smoke grenade, understood?", I told them quietly and they nodded. We parted and René and I walked towards the supermarket, weapons gripped tightly. The Nibbler could hear really good so we needed to be extra quiet. I walked into the supermarket, grabbing everything I saw and stuffing it in my backpack. Soon we would need to search for another city cause this one was rid of supplies. René walked down another aisle and stuffed everything in his bag aswell. Then I saw a Nibbler walk past the windows of the shop. "René, Nibbler.", I whispered as quiet as I could.

We both ducked behind a shelf, waiting for the creature to walk past the window. After a minute it was past the shop and we could continue stuffing our bags. We finished a moment later and walked back to the car, careful to not cross path with another of these creatures. We were lucky and loaded our bags into the car, waiting for Jeff and Margret to get back. They were already ten minutes late and I began to worry. "You think everything is alright?", René asked but I just held a hand up to him, to signal him to be quiet. I could hear fighting in the distance and the growls of Nibbler. Then blue smoke appeared in the sky, making me run towards it, machete in hand. As I arrived at the pharmacy I saw both Jeff and Margret fight a group of Nibbler.

I started attacking some of them, driving my machete through their heads like through butter. One was able to scratch my cheek, making me even angrier. I killed it and turned to the others. They also killed the last one in front of them, breathing heavy. "Come on, get back to the car!", I told them and started jogging back. In the distance I could hear more of them approching and I wanted to be gone by the time they got here. The others followed me and as the car got into sight I heard a thump behind me and someone groaned. As I turned around I saw Jeff on the ground, grimacing in pain. "Get up Jeff, we need to get going!", I said and as he tried standing up, he nearly fell again.
