The Unstoppable

Adventure.

All heck broke loose. Rampage was going through streets, and fires were everywhere. Internet and power was down. My parents made me stay in the fire proof and bomb proof basement. Its like my parents knew this was coming? They told me Beth could live with us since she lives with her aunt, and her aunt approved. She was safe with us, but how long is food going to last? With all four of us. Dad made runs everyday but it was getting too dangerous. One day he came home with a bunch of guns. Revolvers and pistols. He taught us how to shoot to defend ourselves. He gave us gun holsters, with ammunition to last a while. He set up obstacle courses that we had to run through and shoot objects. To get us ready. Ready for what? What was the purpose of all of this? Every night we took shifts in case something happens, but what is going to happen? Since training with my dad I've lost a lot of weight and have gained muscle from carrying around a gun and shooting it all the time. Dad decided to take us out of the house on a run today, and it was so.....scary. 

" Girls, get suited up and load up your gun. Be ready at all times." He was almost excited. Beth and I hugged before we left safety because we didn't know what to expect at all. Seriously we didn't know what the riots and fires were about. We left the house after mom unlocked the gate and then locked it again. The first thing I saw was a huge trailer in the middle of the road that said " Who will survive this horror."  " Dad, whats going on?" I sounded like a little kid again. He kept walking. There was a building that said " The dead is living among us again." Corpses were everywhere. Cars stranded and things left behind. There were X's on houses. " Dad, What are the X's for?" I wasn't as scared. " They cleaned out all the dead's houses and marked and X to tell which houses were vacant and the ones with living in them. I wasn't sure how to cope with everything happening. The smell was horrible. And Military was everywhere. Blood all over their protective suits and helmets with the glass over their face. Some were haling bodies to a big fire and burning them. My dad said that was enough and took us back to the house and made us shower. He made a system of water. He is the smartest man that I know. 

Word was going around that the flu was going around, not just any flu. They call it Microbe Flu. It makes you so sick, it attacks your system and you die without treatment within 10 days of catching it. Its air borne. So anyone could get it. How did my dad know all of this stuff?

I mostly thought about school all of the time, what happened to all of the kids and teachers. What happened to the stores and shops downtown. How are we going to live if we don't have power and factories aren't making their products that we need to live? It seemed like dad knew it all. All three of us wondered on how my dad knew so much. Maybe he studied something like this? Maybe someone predicted it and wrote it into a story? There is something that he is keeping secret. 

The town built a wall around it and cleaned up the whole city. Burning old houses and corps inside. Forming a new community with buildings with solar panels and running water. How this was possible I'm not sure. They trained people to watch the walls. Schools started up again and people grew crops. 

I felt like I had a life again. I thought that everything was going to be better, and it was. 

Military was training people to go out and fight. People call the dead  "eccentric." Because before they  die they act very strange and not themselves, it could be from disease or worse. Getting bit. The paramedic that helped the first "eccentric" died a few days later, then came back to life. They made a grave for him. 

World whats happening?..................I'm scared.
