The Living Murders The Dead

Chapter 1 The First Shot

All I remember is that I saw a bright light as I saw as well this rotten flesh , screaming and I was being rushed to the hospital. I don't know why. And now I woke up in a banded home, no one was there it's like I was supposed to be dead. I go to a room up stairs and get some clean clothes. As I see a family photo then it hits me, that's my family, but they weren't there. I sit down and cry knowing that my family might be dead. I tell my self that they could be still alive, then remember that my dad keeps a gun with extra bullets. When I get the gun, I go outside and I see these people but there not people, there dead but not. One come closer to me as I try to shoot is away but it's not working then one bullet hits it in the brain and it die for the second time!? I ran with excitement and fear. I go to a shop that has food and medical supplies and take some, but it's not stealing because no one was there and it's a banded. Anyway, I think to myself what the hell are those. I decided to call them " The Living ".

So I'm only 13 and try to defend myself from the the living and I barely know to shoot a gun. Days go by and I started looking for other humans as well my family. I heard a screaming I rush there and I see a girl being attacked by a living I start to shake as I pull the trigger on the gun and kill it for the second time. I help her up and ask if she was bit. She said no. Then I ask her age and name. She replied " I'm Katherine and I'm 13" I smiled and ask if she was in a group. She said no. Then we found a house and went in and cleared it from the living. There was food and supplies. We block the windows and doors with wood and what was left of the curtains. In the house I found another gun with more bullets, I asked her if she knew how to shoot. She said kinda.

When it was morning I went out back and took so empty cans for target practice. But we didn't know that noise attractive the living. So we grabbed everything that we could and ran as fast as we could. We stop there was fence and we didn't have time to climb it, that's when Katherine made the most heroic move and sacrifice her self I try to stop her, but all she said was hurry while you can and she walk towards the living after I heard the screams of her as I cried. And I with always remember her bravery.

I continue to run then I see a white van put up and a man yell get in and fast I run and hop into the back of the van. Just like I asked Katherine the man asked if I got bit. And I responded no. He said politely that is name is Kevin. I looked down as I was still petrified, he got worried and asked what's wrong. I said " my friend Katherine just sacrifice her life for me and I guess I'm still remembering her screaming as those stupid thing ate her alive. Kevin said you mean the zombies. I say with sadness we called them the living, he said that he liked that name and from now on we'll call them that. I asked were are we going and he said somewhere that it would be safe and with a lot more people. When we got there I got out of the van a saw smiles of kids and adults.

The women there welcomed me as they introduced me to the rest of the people. I heard the " head master" talking to Kevin that they would release me into the wild with all the living, but Kevin defended me saying that I was only a kid and was no harm just like the rest of them. The " head master" said fine but one wrong move and they would kick me out. The " head masters " name was Antonio. I didn't like him very much. Anyway, of course Antonio said that the only way I could stay was if I could get a bag of gun that they drop. Which is surrounded by the living, and he knew that I would dead but I told him I would do it. I just hope I don't get eaten alive. He take me to the place were he drop the bag of guns, then Kevin came just in case then I asked him if he could get a car to work and make noise to drive the living away from the bag. He did so, then I ran and got the bag of guns. Then Kevin run to the van and I wait for him when he hop's into the van I close the van door and we drive back. I drop the bag in front of Antonio and say politely yet with anger if I needed to do any more life threatening stuff to stay here? He says no, with anger but honestly I didn't care. Anyways, I'm safe now, Well I think. Who know what Antonio will do, maybe he'll put a living in my tent. Antonio gives me a gun and tell me to keep safe because the living come at night and don't open your tent. I knotted my head, then went to sleep. Well not really I fell asleep for 30 minutes and then wake up just to check if I'm safe I'm sharing a tent with 4 other kids. So we each have a 30 minute shift. Then it was morning, we heard a sound coming from the outside, it sounded kinda like a living but not one. It was like a cross between human behaviour and a living behaviour. It make noises like a living but could talk like a human. I saw the shadow it was walking normal but had rotten flesh ripping. I saw Antonio putting rope on whatever that is and then everyone else came out.

It was David, his wife asked what are you doing? Antonio didn't respond and simply lifted his shirt, there was a bite mark. Antonio yelled that David was bit and put a gun to his head and in half a second he pulled the trigger, and David fell to the floor as did his wife. I was shocked that Antonio did that so fast. With not even a guilt face. But Antonio didn't like anyone so I guess I could understand. I went back to my tent, I still heard the cry of David's wife. After she was in shock for 3 hours. She wasn't talking or eating. Then at night she said the phrase I'm going to the ones I love, and put gun to her head then shot her self. But that gun shot wasn't the best thing because after one shot a lot came.
