Aftershock ( A Apocalypse Life )

Before The Second Shock pt1

Sometimes we mistake what looks like the end but it really isn't. You get comfortable and put your guards down leaving a yourself defenseless and a essay target. This is the worst time to actually believe it was over. We sure we're fooled.

My name is Katherine I'm the oldest and I have a little brother who is five and my parents names are Michael and Judy. My family and I were on vacation in New York when it all  happened. When people were getting this unknown virus that was spreading like wildfire. All hell broke loose people who look like people, but didn't were at each other's throats.
Like nothing I've seen before.

At first I thought they had weapons and just had bad past experiences with each other. Until I saw a man tear out this woman's flesh and devour her like a lion and its prey. That's when I knew that's when I realized. Damn this is a zombie apocalypse!

There was nothing in any textbook or any teaching that had prepared us for this outbreak. We were all left not knowing what to expect or how it could have possibly happened. Since we were in a huge City and so many people were out all at once it spread quickly. My family and I made it out of the city and moved around very often after that. We scavenge and survive on own for months but felt like years.

We were found and rescued by the military and were taken into facility that looked more like a prison, but it was the best we had since this started. We stayed there for two months it felt amazing finally knowing what day it is or whatever the time, running water, hot food, and a bed. I would always stick around the scientists and doctors and listen to their conversations to find out what they knew, and so I could know just as well. I always knew they weren't telling the whole truth.

Soon I found out everything on my own. After four  months of staying there they found antioxidants, that could treat the infected that have been bitten, but only after a few hours after the bite. You couldn't bring the dead back to life you can't fix what's already gone.

After a few months, the military began to clear  all the zombies as much as they could and it was safe again. Everyone in the facility were released and assigned to a home to what we thought was a safe neighborhood.

My family and I were next to this weird family whose dad was previously bit but was cured just in time. His name was Mr. Smith, he always gave me the creeps, I would always watch my brother outside and I could see him staring and watching him like an owl.

One time at night I saw him outside acting like a dog and scratching his shoulder like crazy. When he saw me I got scared and hid. After my family and everyone was at peace and felt safe. We were wrong, just when we thought it that was all over that we won the war death was walking right into our doors.
