          How we managed to escape the lost is beyond me to comprehend.

Maybe we just got lucky?

Luck?

I guess you can call it that... But somehow deep inside me, I doubted luck was the case.

I doubted us being lucky could be a thing... it was impossible.

The lost came after us in the daylight, and didn't seem to be giving up as the sun danced over their rotting flesh through the windows.

Yes, they left us alone after we had spent hours pushing and pushing against that wooden door in hopes they wouldn't get in.

But, Why did they leave?

Why did they come after us in the first place?

I try to shake the uncanny feeling I have been feeling since yesterday night.

After Perseus, Amiee and Andrew left that's all I have felt.

Unnerved, uncertain and unsafe.

Those three emotions have haunted me throughout the night too.

It didn't make sense to me, the lost left us alone after trying to attack us for hours upon hours.

They banged on the door and screeched loudly in hopes we would give up but we didn't.

Why?

Because although we're dead. We have an instinct to survive.

The zombie virus seemed to heighten that instinct that was in our human selves into us...which was another reason why we hunted and killed the humans for their brains...

To survive, To keep on moving, and to keep on spreading the damn virus.

Many may think turning into one of us is a horrible fate. I agree... but the feral side of me wouldn't.

After the zombie virus makes its way into your bloodstream and finds its way into your brain it starts to take away your memories one by one until you're left with no reconciliation of your past life.

It makes you unkillable, unstoppable, and a monstrous thing.

And the primal adrenaline, the senses, the speed, and the strength it came along with were like a drug.
