Journal entry, day 1
I think we have finally done it! my team and I have found the cure for trichinella spirals. In the next couple of months, after years of research and years of trial and error, we will begin vaccinating people so they can fight off the brain eating parasites.

The day began as any day would in the town of Moonbright, the children were off to school, adults were off to work, and the world was at peace. Alice, a student, and aspiring artist at the college of moonbright, started her day as any college student would, she gathered her things that she would need in class that day, pencil, paper, and a creative mind and she went to class. Scarlet, a student of martial arts was starting her day in her father's dojo, training for her competition that was coming up in a week. Lewis Lyell, the town's most well known and respected scientist was driving to work, he felt that today was the day that he and his team would find the cure for trichinella spirals, a parasite which eats at your brain and causes you to lose your mind, slowly eating away at your sanity causing you to become zombie like.

"Doctor Lyell! we need your assistance, something has gone wrong in the lab." Jaime, an assistant scientist exclaimed as Doctor Lyell entered the building. "what happened? please calm down Jaime everything will be fine" Doctor Lyell told her. When they get down to the lab, everyone is running around trying to put out a fire which has broken out suddenly. "everyone remain calm" Doctor Lyell said as he pulled the pin on the fire extinguisher and put out the fire. "so, what was the emergency?" Doctor Lyell asked Jaime "that's all it was Doctor, nobody could find the extinguisher and we almost burnt down the building" Jaime told him. "well I'm glad I could save the day once more" he chuckled. Doctor Lyell made a quick turn and and all of the sudden everything seemed to be going in slow motion, Doctor Lyell could do nothing but watch the extinguisher hit the vaccines and watch them hit the floor and shatter, all of his and his team's hard work gone in an instant.

Over the next few months, more and more people fell victim to the parasite, their eyes were sunken in, they looked pale, almost... dead. Eventually they began to go insane, which resulted in cannibalism, it was made official, a zombie apocalypse had began and it had to come to an end.

That morning Alice decided she would take the day off, to relax from her usual busy schedule. she had her morning coffee and left the campus to enjoy a day of leisure. She went to a local restaurant and everyone was staring at a news report about the lab on the other side of town. "zombies?" she said quietly to herself, not sure if she should believe what she saw on the screen or not. Alice went outside to wrap her mind around what she had just heard "zombies" she said again "in Moonbright?" she couldn't believe it. After hearing the news report Alice decided she needed to go home for the night.

Scarlet needed to take a break from practice so she took a walk around town, she hadn't seen Alice in a while so she decided that they should meet up today, there was a nearby restaurant that they could meet up at, Scarlet texted Alice and asked her where she was at, Alice replied back with the name of the restaurant that she was at yesterday. "ALICE" Scarlet shouted as she got down the sidewalk. Alice turned around at the sound of her best friend's voice "scarlet" she smiled as she walked toward her and gave her a hug "how have you been?" Scarlet asked Alice "busy busy busy" she giggled "how about yourself?" Alice asked in return "I've been great, dad's dojo isn't doing so good lately, people have stopped coming" she said "its awful" she added "well I mean, your dad isn't exactly in his prime much anymore" Alice said "don't get me wrong I love your dad he's like a second dad to me but he's getting up there" she went on "I know" scarlet said "you'll never guess what I just heard yesterday" Alice said to scarlet "what is it, it seemed like something was bothering you while I was texting you yesterday" scarlet replied "I was watching the news and right now at the science lab there are... zombies" she told scarlet "what are we gonna do?" scarlet asked a bit worried now herself

A few more days had passed and Alice met up with scarlet again "ah finally the break for the holidays, school is so stressful" Alice said "I couldn't agree more" scarlet replied with a sigh of relief. They had no idea that today would be the day where everything would go horribly wrong. scarlet turned quickly on her heels "what is that sound?" she exclaimed as she heard the sound of tires screeching and she turned to see a red Camaro crash into an old Chevy truck, a woman flies from the truck and a man in a suit crawls from the Camaro. Alice quickly pulls out her phone and dials 911, some time passes and nobody shows up the man has passed and he begins to rise to his feet, half of his face is missing from where it dragged across the asphalt he begins walking toward the two girls making a low almost growling sound. suddenly a woman dressed in leather pants and a blue tank top runs in front of them and shoots the man in the face killing him instantly. the woman that came from the truck was pronounced dead on scene. the woman in blue walks up to Alice and Scarlet and gives them all the information they need to know about what just happened. "are you serious?" Alice said "are you sure that wasn't just a coincidence?" scarlet asked "maybe he wasn't fully dead and he was trying to get help?" she added "no I'm for sure that was a zombie" blue said

a few days pass and scarlet teaches Alice everything she has learned while in martial arts, if they're going to survive this zombie attack they'll need all the strength they can get
