                    Three people stood in a cellar waiting for the time to walk out. "When can we go out." Complained one of the three. "We've only been here for three days James." Said one of the others rolling his eyes. "Says you, we have nothing to do while you have your weights Kevin." He said back to him. "I told you that you could use them." He said walking over to the weights and picked up the 60lb one and lifted it. "Maybe we could try going out." Suggest the third one. "We could try." Said James and then Kevin nodded and they walked toward the cellar door. "I'll go out and check it out." He said and had his hand on the cellar door. "Be careful Alex." Said James and Alex nodded and looked back at the cellar door. He took a deep breath and pushed it open. Alex was speechless when he looked and saw the destruction and burning houses and magma coming out of the cracks in the street. There was dust all over and the sun didn't show even though it was one in the afternoon. "Is it safe?" Asked Kevin and Alex didn't respond. Kevin came up and looked out as well and saw the destruction. "I wouldn't call this safe but we're almost out of food." He said and walked out of the cellar. He saw a cop with his back too him. "Hey Officer, what happened." He called to him and the officer slowly turned to look at him. His skin was grey and his Jaw was out of place and was missing half of his face. The officer slowly walked in a weird way toward Kevin. "Bro let me back in!" He called and he jumped back into the cellar. He ran to his set of weights and picked up the heaviest one And ran back out Alex and James waited for him. There was a loud bang and he came back to the cellar door. "Come and look." He said and they followed him out. They looked at the cop dead on the ground with a dent on the top of his head. "Why does he look like that?" Asked James disgusted. "Are you stupid! He was hit in the head with a hundred pound weight." Alex  yelled looking at Kevin. "Hey! He looked like that before." He said getting defensive. He reached down and unholstered his pistol and looked at it. "Know we're pick pocketing dead people." He said looking at him taking ammo from his body. "Stop taking stuff!" He yelled at him as he took his belt and then took his hat. "Stop yelling. The others will hear us." He said and loaded the pistol and put on the belt and hat. "Something's wrong with you Kevin. Your acting weird." Said James, getting concerned. "If you don't believe me let's find another one." He said and walked toward a house.

                          "What do you mean another." asked Alex as they walked. "The guy looked like he was dead and I bet it was because of the nukes." He said as they walked up a porch of a house. He pulled out a suppressor out of the cops belt and put it on the pistol. He looked at the door and noticed a hole in the door for letters. He pushed it open and looked through. The inside of the house was on fire and then a person walked past. "There's somebody in there." He whispered and opened the door slowly. He walked in and his pistol coughed as he fired a couple shots. James and Alex heard a thud as they walked into the house. He saw him standing over a dead body. He flipped the body over and showed them the grey skin and bloody face and two bullets in his chest. "What is that thing?!" said James gagging at the dead man's face. Kevin walked past the body and entered the kitchen he went to the knifes and took them. He walked back and handed them to the others. "What are these for?" Asked Alex, with a raised eyebrow. "Self defense." He said, and remembered something. "You remember my neighbor crazy Dave?" Kevin asked them and they nodded. "Remember him telling us 'the apocalypse is near'?" He asked them, and the others knew what he meant. "He must be alive! He said this would happen." They said and walked to crazy Dave's house.

                    As they walked up to his house they noticed that there was about twenty undead shuffling around his house. Alex picked up a rock and tossed it towards one of the undead. He looked at were the rock came from and shuffled over and Alex jumped out and stabbed him in the forehead. The others turned and growled and shuffled over to him. The door to crazy Dave's house opened and crazy Dave walked out. "Eat led." He said laughing and had a M16 with a suppressor and fired into the crowd of undead. The gun coughed as he fired into the zombies. By the time his magazine was empty the crowd of zombies were all dead. "Crazy Dave!" Kevin called to him and he turned his head to the three. "Kevin!" He said and walked over to them. "How have you been Dave?" He asked him and shook his hand. "Good, I've been doing well. You?" He asked. "Sort of. We are confused about what happened here." He said and Dave nodded. "Come inside." He said and they followed him towards his house. "I thought his house couldn't get any creepier, but I stand corrected." Alex whispered to James looking at his burnt house. They walked into his house and Dave sat down in a seat and so did the others. "This... apocalypse. How did it start?" He asked Dave. "So when the U.S made these nukes they didn't plan on using them. They were gonna lock em up so they didn't go into the wrong hands. Then there was a malfunction and the rockets went off. They hit Canada as you can see here, Mexico and the U.S and the undead spread to South America." He explained to the three. "So anybody who was out and about during the radiation period would die and there body's would get infected and they turn into the undead. The same is said for the already dead and the radiation seeped into the ground and infected the dead." He said to the three. "So we won't get infected?" Asked James looking at Dave. "No defiantly not, the radiation is gone. He told them and stood up. "Come with me." He said and started to walk up stairs. "Did you's loot a copper?" He asked looking at Kevin. "Yeah and everybody thinks I'm weird because of it." He said when they reached the top. "I don't think your weird. That was actually smart." He said with a smile. "How?" He asked looking at him  curiously. "He was with the undead and you took hold of a opportunity to be able to defend yourself." He said as they walked into a room. "I knew this would happen so I got ready for it and made a few friends who felt the same." He said and walked toward a big safe. He put in a code and pulled open the door. The doors had hand guns, assault rifles and snipers. "Take as much as you need, I don't mind." He said and the others walked over to the safe. James grabbed a revolver and a Galil and Alex grabbed a AK-47 and a machete and Kevin took a submachine gun. Then Dave walked to the other side of the room and opened another safe. The safe had a bunch of attachments, ammo and more. Everybody took multiple suppressors and a bunch of ammo and put them in a couple back packs. Dave and the others walked down stairs and walked into a destroyed kitchen. He walked to a fridge and took a cooler and put all the frozen and cold food in the cooler and the snacks in a separate bag. Dave and the others walked outside and walked to a garage. He pressed the open button and they watched the door lift and a truck was in the middle of the garage. The truck had metal plates on the windows and only a crack to see were your going. There was a snow plow on the front with spikes on it. "You really knew what you were doing Dave." Said Alex as he put his stuff in the back. "Yeah Dave you were only preparing for the inevitable. We all knew that if we had nukes something would got wrong." James told him and put his stuff in the back as well. After everybody was ready Dave and the others got in the truck and he started the engine. The engine didn't make a sound whatsoever. "Why doesn't it make a sound?" Asked James curiously. "One day I kicked it and it never made a sound again." He said shrugging and started to pull out of the driveway.

                      As they drove they saw that there was zombies all over the place. Then when they noticed the truck they perused them. "I think they noticed us." Said James as he looked through the small opening in the back of the truck. "Pick em off." Dave replied and James and Alex poked their guns through the opening. "Wait use suppressors we don't want to attract attention." Said Kevin and the others put on their suppressors and opened fire. They shot the heads of the undead because they would instantly drop dead. Soon they drove towards a gas station and pulled into a garage. Dave got out and closed the door before the zombies could get in. "Let's go into the store There's something I need you to try." He said and they opened the door to the gas station and crouched down. There was multiple zombies in the store and were roaming around. "I got this." Alex told them and pulled out his machete and crouched down. He walked snuck up on the first one and stabbed it clean in the back and stabbed upwards into his skull killing him. The second one heard a thud and shuffled toward the sound. Alex jumped at him and stabbed his machete into his forehead and he fell too on the ground as well. The third didn't have a clue to whats happened. Alex cut off the zombie's arms and legs and then cut off his head. He waved to the others and they crawled into the shop. They all acted dead when a few walked past the window on the outside of the shop. Dave leads them to a back room and they walked in. It was a store office and there was a soda machine against the wall. Kevin read the label and it said Speed Cola. Dave walked over to it and put some money in and grabbed a soda out of it. "Guys, buy the soda." He instructed them. Dave put in enough money in the machine and each person got a soda. They all stood in a circle. "Cheers!" They all said and clanked there drinks together and drank the soda. They all felt weird and knew something in there stomachs. "Is this alcoholic?" Asked James and he held his stomach. "No, its supposed to help us. One of my contacts said that this drink would help." He said and ran in a circle and he went faster than usual. The others did the same and realized that they were faster too. They snuck back into the garage and filled the truck with gas and moved onto the next place.
