The Dead Have Risen.

Prologue

So my name is Israel Tiger however my friends just call me Izzy anywho the date is May 12 2015, and me and my pals just finished our freshman year and after celebrating started to head home.

Obviously I felt extremely relaxed, I mean school was over for the summer right? Well for some reason my parents had not picked me up today, which was fine i walked usually anyway but this was the last day of school so that was weird, so after getting home I slowly walked in taking my time and all but i noticed a super weird smell coming from my living room but i didn't care I just strolled to the fridge to see if I had food. Then I noticed my mom was standing in a really funky way, I immediately knew something was up so i said "Mom?" that was a mistake she turned and what I saw was horrible I knew it wasn't right she had this pale grey look and roared.....yeah literally and chased me I ran out and shut the door hard. I had a vague feeling as to what this was I had seen enough movies to think this was a zombie outbreak that didn't shake the fear and sadness because I already knew there wasn't going to be any helping her so i quickly ran to my best friend David's house. I didn't knock i burst in and he was in the floor on his knees crying with his 12 gauge at his side in the kitchen layed his twin sister dead in his mother's room i assumed the same of her and her boyfriend I didn't say anything to him except "Im borrowing your gun".

I stood outside my front door for an hour already sobbing I knew I was gonna have to do it but how the hell do you shoot your mom and dad? Well I steeled myself I went in my mom was still by the back door i actually noticed dad next to her in the same condition I shakily whistled at them they both came running I shot at their legs they both fell but they both started to crawl towards me slowly I fell in the corner of my living room I yelled at them to stop so many time with tears streaming I had two shots left and I aimed the first at my dad and said "I love you dad Im sorry" after that shot it broke me I stopped crying and looked at my mother and said "I love you too mum" that was the second shot I picked myself up and got out of there and ran back to David's I opened the door he was sitting on his couch he seemed better and I said "I did it man" he just stared at me.

*2 hours later*

We waited until our other best friend got to our town Austin once he got there I could see the look in his eyes he had to do it too he didn't even bother going near his grandparents home he just came into David's I looked at both of them and said "lets go to the girls and see if their okay" they both just acknowledged me, it was the most quiet walk we ever had over there we could see the houses hear the howls from inside that was the worst part the sound they made it was.... unnerving it made me wanna tear my ears off. We did make it too the girls inside we found Mary, Raymos, Nick, Kolby, and Emily also her child Lucy and the other two little ones Lily and Evie, the others were well you know.

"Emily we gotta go" she didn't respond to what I said rather had a lost look in her eyes but she got up and we loaded up in her van and headed off towards the city, Oklahoma City to be exact the phone lines were off so we was gonna go see if Kaylee was okay a very close friend of mine and close family friend of the people I was traveling with, so we actually made it too the city with everything looking normal which was the eerie part about it we all wondered if these people had any idea what was going on I found myself drifting off I didn't realize how exhausted I was and thinking about where my brother and sister in law were wasn't helping my headache so i slept when I woke up it was almost dark but we was outside of Kaylee's apartment Emily went up with a gun a 45 to be exact when it opened they both jogged out to the car and we started driving on I40 West and we turned on the radio and what we heard confirmed the worst "Any and all citizens in the United States of America this alert is not a test and is a declaration of marshal law"
