A PLACE WE CALLED HOME
THIS IS WAR
My name is John Sanders. i was born on July 5th 2000; the year is 2021. It has bean 2 years since the apocalypse started. It started while I was in my first year of college. It took me almost a year to find one that would accept me, I wasn't a good student. I was a high school drop out, i got expelled from about four schools for...well that's not relavent to the story. Any way, it was my third week there at Santa Cola Universty in Florida; i was there because i wanted to be a nuclear physicist and to try to be a lead sience director at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Florida. I was in my biology class try to pay attention to my boring professor about cell division and multiplication. It seemed like it had been hours till I got out of them class. When it was over I went the caffiteria to eat lunch.
When I had arrived at the cafeteria I got in line for a cheese burger. I was standing when my friend Jeff came behind me.
"Hey" Jeff said.
" hey what are u getting?" I asked him.
"Uh....I don't know, maybe a burger"he said.
"Cool,"I said
Then I made it to the front of the line. While I was making my hamburger I heard schreeches from behind me.
"What the heck," I said to Jeff
"Uh...I think we better run,"he said
We dropped our food and started to sprint towards the exit. I looked behind us. I saw what a man should never have to see. Our biology teacher and a few students eating others. I stopped and stared at them; I was traumatized. I started walking to the exit which Jeff had already gone. I started to walk slowly hoping they wouldn't see me.
CRACK!!! I stepped on a plastic spoon. They looked up at me, one of them grunted at me. I saw one of them for split second, it had yellow eyes and grey skin; red veins sticking out of its head and arms.I turned around and started running out the exit. When I got to the fire escape outside the cafeteria, I started running up the stairs to the roof; the things where close behind me. When I reached the roof I saw what I thought was Miami. There were burning buildings, gun fire, and people screaming for help. I could not help them, I had my own problems. They reached the roof where I was. Only four followed me. I looked around for any thing I could use as a weapon of a sort. One of them ran at me; I moved out of the way, it ran it's self off the 3 story building. I fell to the ground. I thought I was doomed with the other three walking towards me slowly but terrifying. I closed my eyes as they got closer.
BOOM!! BOOM!! BANG!! I opened my eyes in releafe to see Jeff with a gun in his hand.
"Glad you showed up when u did" I said as he helped me up
"Dude, watch out those things will kill you." He proclaimed.
"What are those things?" I asked him.
"I don't know, but it seams like they are some sort of zombie" he said with fear.
"I think we might be at war" I said in terror.
I was thinking we where under chemical warfare attack with North Korea. If u heard what was on the news in the past few days u would have had the same thought; if you we're still alive that is.
ESCAPE
When me and Jeff got down from the cafeteria complex, we went to our dorm rooms to gather what we could if there really was a war. When we got to our dorm we had to bust the door in.
