The Walking Dead, Get Scared edition

3rd person

Crumbling grey rock spills out onto a rugged grassland. The walls of a formidable and isolated building. The sky mirrors the black and obsolete feeling that was present in five men hiding in the decrepit building. They were all inhabiting a basement that has only one window, small and high up  . Which was covered by scrap wood.

A heavy metal door protects them from the ravenous dead that attack them. "Johnny, how you holding up?" Nicholas asked. They were both on guard so the other three could rest. Candels illuminated their faces and the peeling white paint of the walls and concrete floor. "I'm as ok as I can be in this fucked up situation." Nick nodded in agreement.

In a matter of weeks the world has been destroyed by an apocalyptic reign of zombies. Some madman thought he had cured the affliction of death. But he actually just made corpses mad. "Nick, it's too quiet and I know somethings gonna go down." Johnny was fiddling with a gun. Placing bullets in his pockets and reloading. This was their survival method. Missions to towns no futher than three hours away. Get supplies. Refuel the van. Come back and wait. When the zombies attacked they destroyed the horde and retreated back to the safety of this basement. Their was an unspoken agreement in the group. If someone is bitten they must be killed. None of them wanted to become a member of the walking dead club. Even if they did love that show back when the biggest issue was menial stuff.

Groans echoed in the heavy silence. This was met by Johnny nodding to Nicholas. He crept over to the men sleeping in the corners of the small room. Shaking their shoulders to wake them giving them the code "get scared." Met with an ergency to prepair. Lloyd had managed to retrieve hand grenades on a mission some how. Dan was armed with a gun and so was Adam.  The harsh noises of the disrupted rest of the dead were becoming loader. The moans and groans and cries resonating down the warren of hallways leading to the basement. The atmosphere in the room was tense and uncomfortable. Johnny slowly opens fhe door and is the first out. They all follow. Giving silent fairwells just in the case that the worst happens.

The flickering flurousent lights are the only light source. Not even the stars and the moon bare witness. The stench of decomposing bodies and mould are nearly as deadly as the zombies. Adam nearly retches. Dan has a scarf in front of his face. The first zombie appears. Angry that he is alive but dead in a twisted curse. His lust for the flesh of the living driving him towards the ones with a heartbeat. Echoing gunshot sounds. Then repeated. Adam destroyed the corpse who's face was a mess of shrivelled sķin, rotten and exposing his yellowing skull. He was followed by a child, more like a skeleton draped in flesh that was dangling and shriking like a banshee. More and more zombies appeared. Bullets shattered through their living remains. They would drop to the ground before returning back to hell.

After twenty minutes there was a silence. This wave was over. "Everyone ok?" Dan shouted. Quiet yes's were muttered. "I'll burn them so they don't rise again." Lloyd said, picking up small tin filled was petrol. Then quickly and quietly walking over. He pours the petrol. But as he turns to walk away. He is bitten on the legs by a growling and pissed of zombie. Who is silenced by Nick who fills him with bullets. The four other men try to walk towards Lloyd. Who shouts. "Stay back. I'm now contagious." His vreathing is vecoming laboured and Llyod falls to his knees. "We knew that this... would... eventually happen." Everyone us silent. Scared for their friend. Scared for themselves. The only noise was Lloyd. Who was coughing up blood and his eyes were bloodshot. He was trembling. Twitching. Cries of pain tore from him. Johnny walked slightly forward. Cocking his gun. "I'm sorry Lloyd." He said before pulling the trigger.

Author's note: Sorry about killing Lloyd :,(

I'm gonna try and update more but that depends on how my exams are going.
