Home Sweet Zombie Part One

Season One Episode 5 Part One

Southern Illinois

After travelling for little while longer they came to a town that seemed quite deserted, There were limited z's and the houses looked intact. Driving down one street they came across a house that had a electric metal fence going around the whole property and it looked secure and after checking it and finding no z's and food in the cupboards they decided to take shelter. They had been there for a few days now and aside from a few wandering zombies everything had been quiet.

It was nice to be in a house again, to be able to relax and not have to worry about someone or something trying to kill you all the time. The house was beautiful and they were like one big happy family but Ellie knew it couldn't last long they'd either run out of food and water or people or zombies would come across them eventually, but it was still nice to have a break.

Addy and Mack were messing around in the garden, Cassandra was asleep on the sofa with 10k in a chair next to her reading a magazine. Warren and Garnett were in the kitchen drinking coffee and Warren was teasing Garnett by calling him honey, as soft music was playing in the background. Doc and Murphy were playing cards at the table with Ellie reading a book at the other end of the table. It made her think about her life before the apocalypse about her mum and dad, her little sister and older brother she didn't even know if they were alive. She was out of town when they outbreak took place.

"I will see your Vicodin" Doc said knocking Ellie out of her train of thought making her look up from her book which she hadn't turned a page for a few minutes to see Doc put a pill in the middle of the table. now they didn't need money or have any they were using drugs to play with. "And raise you one tetracycline".

"Call" Murphy said

"Three of a kind" Doc said putting his cards down to reveal three kings

"Full house" Murphy said smiling and putting his cards down Ellie could see he had two 9's and three ace's. "Aces high"

"Man" Doc sighed "That's five hands in a row. If you're gonna continue to use my deck you need to quit pulling cards out of your ass"

"Oh boo hoo" Murphy said making Ellie smile and Doc scoff

"Hey. Shh" Garnett said from the kitchen interrupting them. "Hold on, he's back on". Looking towards Garnett Ellie could hear citizen Z's voice coming from the radio.

"Friends, I'm talking about mean weather coming in fast. Some reports of tornadoes, Find shelter and take cover, It's dangerous out there. More so than usual. Now back to the soothing sounds of the apocalypse'" He finished before calming music started to play again.

"You know after he was so wrong about that chopper" Murphy said shuffling the cards "Weather man's a pretty good job for that geek" He said making them all chuckle

"Well technically he wasn't wrong" Ellie said still smiling "The chopper was there just no where near operational".

"Yeah and we had a wasted journey" Murphy grumbled. Ellie was about to say something back to Murphy but she was distracted by the sound of the front door opening and closing and looking towards that direction Ellie saw Mack and Addy.

"You're up" Mack said to Garnett smiling

"All good?" He asked Mack referring to the night watch they had just done

"Peaceful night" Addy said

"You're stalker said there' s a storm front coming in" Warren said teasing Addy "How is it out there?"

"Cloudy with a chance of zombie" Addy joked back and Warren smiled

"Ok, you two get some rest" Garnett said
