Your P.O.V.

I'm sitting in an office building at one of the desks, reading my notebook. I have written down all the people I know who have been infected and how much time you have left before becoming one of them after you've been bitten. The infected seem to only come out at night or when it's dark, because they can see in the dark. I've also observed that when in large groups they are very quick moving, unless they are by themselves, then they seem to move slower.

I'm adding in another person to my book when I hear a sound. I stop writing and slowly look up around the office, to find the source of the sound. That's when I see one of my military buddies, slowly making their way into the room. They were infected quite a while ago and I hadn't seen them since. I guess she made her way into the city. She starts to make her way around the dimly lit room, and I watch cautiously, hand on my gun just in case she attacks.

I try and stay still as possible so she doesn't see me, because there's still light in the room and she can't see very well. She makes her way back to the door and walks out. I sigh in relief and sadness. It's so lonely here now that everyone is infected. It's sad to see all my buddies and people I know this way, knowing I  will never see them again.

I finish writing in my book before packing and moving out. I'm gonna make my way into the middle of the city, to see if I could possibly find anyone not infected. I grab my stuff and walk out the same door my friend had just walked through. Quietly walking out of the building and onto sidewalk. There's at least 10 infected people walking about in the street and I try my best to not be seen.

I'm walking down when one of the infected seems to have spotted me, so I duck into an alley and stand still so when they go by, they don't see me. Hopefully.  After a minute, the infected walks by and after their gone, I breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly...

?: Psst, hey!

I gasp as I hear a gentle whisper coming from down further in the alley. I look around frantically down the alley trying to find the source of the voice.

?: Hey! Over here behind the dumpster.

I slowly make my way down the alley and towards the dumpster.

Malcolm's P.O.V.

I'm crouched behind the dumpster as I hear silent footsteps coming towards me. I peak out to see the girl I whispered at coming towards me and oh my god. She's got beautiful light blue hair and light green eyes. She's wearing what seems to be a military uniform, so I assume she was in the military when this all happened.

I stand up and introduce myself.

M: Hey, I'm Malcolm! God I'm so glad to find another human out here! I've been alone since this all started.
Y: yea me too! I'm Miya by the way.

We shake hands.

M: So uh, what do we do now?
Y: Well, I was coming this way to find any uninfected people but I didn't really have a plan. Maybe we just make our way down more into the city and find a store or something and stock up on anything we need, and I don't know. Maybe find a place where we can bunker down and stay for awhile. Try and find more people?
M: Sounds like a plan. I'll follow you!

Miya and I start leaving the alley and make our way down to the main city and find a grocery store. We head in and make our way around the store, grabbing what we think we would need. As I'm walking down one aisle I hear a small whimper. I follow the noise to the back of the store, and behind double doors and find a little boy, hiding in the back with the over stock.
