El Día De Los Muertos

Your girlfriend was dead.

Murdered right in front of your shocked eyes.

It was the single most trumatizing thing you had ever witnessed in your life.

You did everything you could to save her - but it was simply too dangerous to intervene!

The guy who attacked her was clearly on some type of super human drugs seeing as how crashing into him with your car did nothing to stop his unhinged attack on your girlfriend.

Your heart shattered into a million pieces watching the love of your life get viciously attacked and killed by the homicidal psychopath!

You knew by the bloodlust in his eyes and the swinging of his cut up arms that he had no intention of letting your girlfriend live.....

Her entire face was gone by the time he was done with her.

You were screaming for help, but not one person stopped to help you.

Everyone was too worried about saving their own asses - not helping a random stranger.

It felt horrible not having anyone there for you.

No bodyguards, no paparazzi, no fans - the shit had finally splattered against the fan and rained hell down onto the Earth - and no one gave a single fuck about you being a celebrity.

It was all about the survival of the fastest runners now.

You didn't even have a gun to protect yourself.

All you had was your car keys.

Sobbing at the loss of your long term girlfriend, you had been planning on proposing to the next weekend, you put your keys inbetween your knuckles, and ran off down the street in the same direction everyone else was running.

You couldn't save your dead girlfriend now....but you still had a chance to save your family.

Your parents were worried sick about you!

There were crazy people just like the one who killed your girlfriend - everywhere!

They were attacking and killing random people in the street and you refused to be their next target!

Your little sister had just called your phone screaming for help.

People were taking advantage of the distracted police, by breaking into houses, killing, and robbing people!

As soon as your sobbing sister said people were breaking into the house - you told her to grab a knife and hide- that you were on your way to save her!

Unfortunately your house was 12 miles away!

You were horribly out of shape so you couldn't run the 12 miles - it would take you hours!

By then your family would be dead and your house would be burnt to ash just like all the others.

Your house had an alarm, but the door wasn't bulletproof!

Plus the cops were waaaaay too busy dealing with all the mass murders going on to respond to a burglar alarm!

Your own car had been totaled in the crash.

Thankfully - you saw tons of running cars in the middle of the street that people had been dragged out of....

Most of the cars had busted open windows and blood filled seats.

A few cars still had dead bodies laying in them - like your car a few blocks back - where your girlfriend had been killed in the passenger seat right next to you before you scrambled out of the car to get away!
