Like allways i woke to the sound of fighting growls and banging
Its sounds like the zombies are starting to lessen
i look around at my room that used to be nice before i got to busy to clean because.... the apocalypse. there was trash and random things everywhere mainly from having to stay in the house alot.
As i look outside I see, well... fighting everyone on morning duty was trying to kill the last few of them.
I walk out of my room to see my mom
"hi hun" she said
I smile at her and go to help her out knowing shes was struggling due to the recent field operation she had to have to sever a infected arm. Luckily it was her right arm: her non dominant arm.
"hey mama" slipped from my lips as I grab my breakfast its not much but there are no words to describe how grateful I am for it. some families around here don't get food for days, although we do have to have a plan for eating it looks like this
Mondays:mom
Tuesdays:Matthew(me)
Wednesday:no one
Thursday:rose
Friday:dad
I look back from the list glad it was my day, god im hungry.
10:03
I ate my breakfast quickly then went to the bathroom to clean up and get ready or what ever you call a daily routine in the middle of a war on the undead.
After washing my face I look in the mirror. My unbrushed brown hair.
it's getting to long again. I wrote a mental note to ask my sister to help with that . Quickly I pull on some clothes.
My favorite navy blue shirt had a new hole hear the collar adding to the others. I slip into my tan cargo pants tying them so they didnt slip
Yea they where old and messed up, but no one cares about how you look anymore.
10:24
I grabbed my pocket knife
Just in case, and ran into my backyard
I hoped up onto my old wooden fence and watched the others fight luckily there where vary few left unluckily for him he couldn't help because he was "underage" all though he would turn 16 in a few days Mathew sat on the fence basically pouting. his mom hated when he did that, not the pouting she thought that was cute but she hated when he sat on the fence so of course a few seconds later i heard
"MATHEW GET OFF THAT FENCE"
I jumped started and almost rolled off the fence quickly I jump up and off landing smoothly on my feet and as i did that He looked around at his backyard
trees where hanging over the fence and into the backyard his old basketball lay in the corner, his mom sat on the porch watching him the old sheep dog Isabel lay at her feet her now white fur ruffled in the wind. She ran up to me even though she is old she still has the spirt a pup
all the sudden we here a victorious cry me and my mom run to see what's happening
"YES WE FINALLY GOT THEM ALL"
"LETS GO"
10:30
Matthew ran outside to join the happy cheers when all the sudden
A sound that at the time sounds normal but now it the most terrifying sound in the world to him
the sound of crates shaking
everyone got silent as huge brown crates Arose from the black asphalt slowly the sticky tar snaping as the wooden boxes pushed there way up and tore as they open more and Matthew was frozen in fear
his only thing he could fear was fear as more zombies broke open the crates and started chasing the people inside doors slamming left and right his dad grab his shirt and pulled him inside slamming the door behind him
"mommy why are the zombies coming back" my little sister rose asked "i don't know sweet heart but they go away again" my mom replied as she held rose with her one good arm
I look at my dad questionably he just nodded his head and then walked away
12:15pm
Matthew decided to sneak into the dark surroundings but the sencond
he sprinted back in
what if im the reason why the crates are coming he thought
no no the cant be true he thought desperately trying to convince him self that he wasn't to the problem
his mom walked in to see him sleeping on the floor in his day clothing and knew he found out
about the curse and that he got hit by the worst of the radiation wave that started all if this
crying
death
loss
starvation
and much more
his mom woke here poor boy up but he was sound asleep and left him alone after picking him up and putting him on his bed she was super strong even though she only had one arm
here strength came from the connections around not the mussels inside of you
thats what drives everyone here not greed not anger but protecting those connections
~end~
