Life In the Zombie Apocalypse

The Killer Zombies

TIP #3: When raiding a store, get everything you might use at least once.

I shoveled my favorite items into the backpack and choose outfits I could actually run in. I grabbed my phone and some books. When I slipped the backpack over my shoulders, the bag was a little too heavy for my liking. I threw out some of my books. Before I joined the girls, I sat down on my bed. I tried so hard to think that I was gonna live.

We went into a pet store, well the bus driver did. She bought multiple dog beds, like Kylie had instructed. The bus driver payed for them with her own money. 'Money ain't gonna be worth anything in a couple of months.' Maybe the driver isn't that bad, we might keep her around. Although she might easily get us all bitten. Hmmm, who am I kidding? I hate the driver.

We drove to Aldi, a grocery store. It was kinda crazy. Zombies or whatever you want to call them were trying to get a lady out of her car. Muna got out and walked toward the store. She had to kill a zombie, but she all in all went in with no problem. She came back laughing, arms full of canned foods. She told us that people just looked at her like a mental patient since she's covered in zombie goop. We all laughed at that. Laughing like this won't be likely after we all are running from zombies.

Anyways, it is my turn to go rob a furniture store. I feel really nervous. I walked inside, heading to the pillow and blanket section. I walk past the aisles, not giving a care in the world. I start to care when hands reach out and grab me. I yelp and throw a hard elbow into the person. I look up and notice its a zombie. This disease spread quicker than we must've thought. I pull out my knife and shove it into the zombies chest. It doesn't seem to cross its mind what just happened. If tries to reach for me again. I yank the knife out and go in for the head. How didn't I know the only way to kill a zombie is destroying the brain? I feel a liquid coat my face. The palms of my hands are beyond disgusting, so I use my shirt to clean my eyes. I keep the knife steady in my hand, not knowing what could be around this corner I'm about to turn. I take a deep breath as the newest section appears. Thank Jesus! This is the pillow and blanket section! I grab a nearby blanket to clean my hands off with. There are so many blankets to choose from! There are polka dot, neon pink ones, black ones, leopard print ones, and loads more. I picked the most comfy blankets. Consisting of pink ones for Kylie, leopard print for Muna, Markiplier for myself, and a bunch of other random colors. I went over an aisle, to the pillows. The pillows on the other hand, weren't as exciting. I just grabbed 4 white pillows and 4 different colored pillowcases.

As a continue on my journey back up to the front, I cringe. A man is yelling for help, as a zombie sinks its teeth into his torso. The creature is soaked in blood. The man lets out a small rasp when the zombie digs into his neck. Red blood shoots out all over the floor. The man's child is hiding in one of the aisles watching the whole thing. The creature starts to shuffle towards the child. The child is still staring at his dad's body. Time to be brave again, Joceiplier. I drop the stuff in my arms and fetch out my handy dandy knife.

The child still hasn't registered what just happened. I prance over to it then shove the knife into the back of the things head. It drops to the ground, crashing into one of the racks. The kid registers that I'm alive and collapses in tears. What do I do? What do I do? After a minute of thinking, I decide to crouch down and pat the kids back. "Hi, my name's Jocelyn. Can you tell me your name?"

He looks down at me, "My-my name is Nathaniel, I go by Nathan."

"Here how about you come with me? I'll take you to my friends and we'll keep you safe." I hold out my hand.
