the sickness

Untitled Part 1

Prologue-

It was a dark night, the street was light by the moon and stars. I saw them come from houses and drainage systems anywhere they can fit into I saw them come. Not just 1 not just 2 but more than you can ever count. All they have to do is to smell you and they know where you are. They come out of every crack every gap. Some have fabric hanging off them others have bloodied clothing. The stink to, you can smell them from a mile away. Well they are just rotting bodies that walk and run after you.

Chapter 1- black blood

If you're all guessing who I am well my name is Stephen and I'm 14. I got stuck into this mess somehow and I don't know why but I reckon something happened years ago and whoever was around got a bug into them. Anyway this is how it happened. I got up out of bed it was a cool morning so I put my slippers and dressing gown on. I walk down stairs to find my parents not up they usually are up for work and taking us to school.

I go back up the stairs to my parent's room. I poked my head in and I saw no one in bed just a black spot on both sides of the bed. I walk outside to the back porch where I find my parents spewing up thick black blood I say "are you ok mum and dad". They turn around their eyes blood shot black blood oozing out of their mouth then I take a step back they take one step closer I start walking backwards and then turn and run. They chase after me until I'm at the end of my block where they stop then turn and run. I say "yeah run for all I care" but my trouble doesn't stop there you see sometimes I think that people are born with a silver spoon or with a guardian angel.

 I'm not one of them you can say that I live with my parents who I think are now plain stupid because when they ran I thought they were running because of me. Was I wrong I turn around and there was a big man huge in fact, like he rolled everywhere. He looked like he had too many McDonalds, but did he could move fast. I saw his enormous mouth oozing with black blood same as my parents. The fat guy starts running after me and I ran back into my house I locked the door and barricaded it as well I went to the back door and did the same. All I could hear in that time was groaning and banging on the door.

 I then heard multiple gun shots and screaming of pain outside. The groaning has gone and so has the banging. I start to pull stuff away and then I hear a polite knock at the door. I try to look out of the window and see 4 teenagers around my age, one had a rifle and the rest had pistols two each. The guy with the rifle had dark brown skin and had black dread locks and all he had on was a t-shirt and shorts.

 I went outside and saw the guys rush in and shouted "GET IN!" I wanted to see what all the shouting was about and I looked down one road and then the other but I looked more closely and in the distance I saw a whole army of black blood dripping adults. I get into the house and start barricading the door I said to the dark skinned man "my names Stephen what's yours?" the man replied "Danny, Danny Stuart".  I said to him that there is an access way to the roof and then travel along the roofs.

 I lead them up to the roof and we get on top of the roof. We see the street covered with black blood oozing adults. Danny loads his rifle and starts shooting the adults and the others came up and started shooting as well. One of the kids say "here you'll need it" and hands me a pistol and also 30 rounds. I start shooting but there's nothing coming out. I look at it and the safety's still on. I turn off the safety and say "eat this you bloody bastards". I fire and get heaps of head shots.

 I then hear groaning underneath us and there are adults looking up at me I say " jump roofs" everybody stops and looks at me and I point down and when they look back I'm gone I'm hopping along the roofs and shooting like a pro and then they start hopping by my side.

The adults are jumping up trying to grab our legs. I shoot one in the head and I get black blood all over my torso area and then I shout "we might have to stop!"  Danny nodded his head at me and stopped on that roof so did the others but I stopped on the next roof. I jumped and joined them on the top of the roof and said "fuck that's a lot of ground we have covered". Danny replied "yeah that's a lot". From where we are now we can just see the roof of my house in the distance.
