Choose Your Own Adventure Story - Zombie Apocalypse

24

You choose the cot by the door.

Harvey comes back downstairs, turns off the lights, and crawls into his cot. Snores begin to echo throughout the room, and you think about how lucky you are to be here.

As you begin to doze off, something bursts through the door with a guttural shriek. It's a zombie. It goes straight for you. Luckily, since you're in a cot, you're able to leap out of bed just before it reaches you. Oliver immediately runs for the door, and slams it, preventing anything else from entering.

As the zombie keeps running towards you, Harvey runs up behind the zombie, and stabs it in the heart.

Carter rushes towards you, and pulls you close to him. "Are you hurt?" He whispers.

"No." You respond, quietly.

"Are you telling me we forgot to lock the door?" Harvey says in an icy cold whisper. "Even with all the confusion, that was a nearly fatal mistake. I can't believe this." Harvey storms upstairs, muttering about our incompetency.

"Shit, I don't know how I could've forgotten to lock the door." Oliver groans, rubbing his eyes.

"It's not only your fault, dear." Nana comforts him.

"Yes, but had someone died, we would've lost 100% of them. We'd all be 100% responsible for that." He snaps. "I'm sorry." He softens, accepting Nana's warm hug.

Carter gives you a weak smile before going back to his hammock.

"So we're just gonna leave the body in the middle of the room for apocalyptic ambiance?" Violet asks sarcastically. "Oliver, go open the door for me." Violet demands, as she picks up the zombie by the arms, and drags it out the door. "Do what you want with it in the morning. I'm washing my hands and going back to bed."

"She's a badass." You laugh quietly, as everyone settles down for bed for the second time.
