It was 8:30 am in Chandler High School when the televisions of all schools turned on with an important announcement. The Ebola virus was spreading at an alarming rate and adulterated more than 1,000 people. Due to safety concerns school was postponed until further notice. "Everyone stay home there is a dangerous virus spreading" the television reiterated . The entire class gaped at the announcement. There were a few intimations that something would happen, but Carl never thought that the virus would get this bad and was concerned about the future.

Everyone called their parents and went home warily. When Carl got home he decided to not worry his parents any more than they are so he hid behind a guise of calmness and fortitude, when really he was terrified on the inside. He new that from here on out the situation of who went to get food, and if Carl could even play with his friends was tentative. After discussing it all day while Carl played video games and ate chocolate pudding, his parents Rick and Lori discussed what they had decided at dinner. They explained how since the virus has been augmented, he will be completely bereft of talking to any friends in person until everything is sorted out.

"That's not fair!" shouted Carl. "This is for your own good," said Lori. "The decision is already made," said Rick. Lori and Rick were not at all pliable after making such a big decision, and it was obvious that they were not going to change their minds, so Carl just gave up on arguing.

After about 1 month of the virus spreading Carl started to notice that the streets were filled with people and it was obvious that they were not going to the supermarket because they were not in their cars. After further examination he realized that they were these people were stolid and unkempt. Five minutes later he heard people gibing at the people in the street, then something weird happened, the unresponsive victims started to chase the crowd ridiculing them. Nevertheless, the hardheaded people showed what they thought to be fortitude and fought back. Little did they know that their courage would have such dour consequences.

The suspicious looking group started to hunt down people and eat them alive. At first I thought they were cannibals with an insidious scheme, but then I realized that they looked a lot like the Ebola patients I have seen in the news. His parents were both out getting food and water so he was home alone the worst imaginable thing that could happen at this time. He first ran to the front and back door to make sure that they were locked, which thankfully they were. Then he ran back upstairs to his room and got his crossbow with after years of practice had ambidextrous abilities. After that he called his closest friends, Michonne and Daryl who knew nothing of what was going on. After Carl informed them he deployed them to join him and become a group, just in case this problem cannot be solved. Carl made them say a short phrase before they were officially a "zombie survivor group". They were asked to repeat verbatim through a voice recording these words " I will go to 123 Sw 456 Av with weapons if the infection iS not soon controlled."

After they all made the commitment they started making theories on how if they were the last survivors they would get everything for free, and how they would never be ridiculed for not being opulent and not having to be concerned about people making fun of them for the clothes that they wore. When he went downstairs to get a glass of water he realized that being poor is the least of his worries and that surviving would not be as easy as it seems to be in the comic books that he reads. He was now worried not only about his parents but also about how he was to make it to his friends house alive.
