September 28th

"Yeah, Okay. . .Great I'll see you after work then. K, B-" I sighed as my sister hung up on me before I could say 'bye.' Her case was about to start so I understand the rush but jeez. It was currently around six and this story really wasn't going to write itself. I put my headset on and pressed play on my CD Walkman playing the new 'Goo Goo dolls' album and got back to writing. After a little bit, my head started rocking slowly trying to keep myself awake as I tried to come up with the next part for my characters. I give in to the tiredness and place my pen down resting my head in my arms too tired to get up and lay in bed. I close my eyes and drift away into sleep.

I opened my eyes after feeling the entire apartment shake and see the room filling with smoke. I take the headset off and heard the fire alarm in the hallway blaring causing me to stand up and look at the door to see smoke filling in the room. My eyes look over to the clock to see it was 8:15 PM. I raced towards the window and open it stepping out onto the fire escape and making my way down into the alleyway. Stepping onto the concrete I look around to see the city was in ruins. I wasn't even paying attention to the sounds around me because I was so caught up in trying to leave my burning apartment. There was so much screaming and sirens and smoke and fire everywhere. I started to panic but stopped when I saw a woman limping her way over to a guy in a yellow vest. Not really knowing what to do I ran over to the two.

"Hey, What the hell is going on?" I ask trying to sound like I'm not panicking but I totally failed. The lady looked over at me shaking her head while the man replied.

"I don't know but Jill, we need to leave." He said then turning to the other woman next to me.

"What the hell was that thing?" She asked clearly out of breath and in pain. He shrugged at her shaking his head.

"Damned if I know, But right now it's got a hard-on the only two S.T.A.R.S left in town. You and Me," he says motioning between him and the lady now known as Jill.

"Wait, you two are S.T.A.R.S? My sister is friends with a member of S.T.A.R.S" I said not really knowing why. The guy in the yellow vest looks at me and nods his head as he looks back at Jill.

"Just look around you. The longer we wait, the more screwed we are." He motioned Jill to follow and Jill tilted her head at me to follow. I quickly walked over to Jill and took her arm and put it over my shoulder to help her walk since she was limping really really bad.

"How did this happen so fast?" Jill yelled/asked the yellow vest guy, I really need to know his name soon calling him yellow vest guy is getting kinda uhh never mind I need to get out of here and help this Jill lady I just met.

"I dunno, but one fucked up thing always leads to another." He says dodging mini explosions. "It's like Arkley on steroids" He finishes. We continue walking towards a cinema when two helicopters pass by causing the yellow vest guy to shout and chase after them. Jill and I started to jog after him.

"We must be dreaming. How could this man people be infected." She says quietly enough for just both of us to hear. Infected? What does she mean by infected?

"What do you mean infected?" I asked not genuinely curious as to what the heck is going on. She just looked at me and looked like she was going to explain but was cut off by a loud crash.

"Brad! Here they come!" She shouts as the crazy people started climbing the fence causing it to fall. The yellow vest guy's name is Brad. . .Yikes- Jill, Brad, and I started running towards the building to our left to get away from the crazy people. I open the door for us and Brad picks up a sign and throws it at them. No clue what that did but whatever. Brad and I close the door and try to hold it closed.

"Jill, door behind you. Go!" He says as Jill limps over to a back door. The door gets hit pretty hard causing me to fall back. The door opens up and one of those crazy people took a huge chomp on Brad's elbow. Seeing his blood splatter everywhere caused me to freeze up. Why were they biting him? what were they, zombies? Is that what Jill meant about infected? Are the people infected? So many thoughts filled my head but I was tugged out of my thoughts by Jill pulling at me to get up. I quickly got up and pulled her arm over my shoulder to help her move faster so we could get out of there. We ended up in another alleyway.
