The Unstoppable

Life

Some people say that people are dying a lot, and after they die they become " eccentric." They turn into flesh eating monsters. Our community with the wall is very small, but what about the other towns? What does it look like there? We are starting to run out of supplies. Some people go beyond the walls, but very little make it back without being harmed. 

" Dad, what is happening can you please explain." I wasn't surprised anymore. " Honey, it's the apocalypse. We are only safe because we live behind guards and walls. With an army. And soon, we won't be so lucky. We are going to have to train you and Beth to run, and carry heavy things okay? We start tomorrow."  His voice was shaky and out of breath. 

I wondered about Beth, she has been outside all day. What I found her doing fantasized me. She was teaching little kids how to read, and write. that's what she must have been doing for so long at a time. I walked back inside and went to my room. I laid on my bed and tried to look past the wall. But it was nothing but grey skies. I want to know what it is like beyond the wall. And one day, i'm sure i'll be able to see what it's like. But I want to know now. 

I plotted ways on how to escape. But my dads wall is so tightly watched by cameras that he would see me the second that I got out and he would catch me. I try to imagine it time after time, but  every time I fail. There must be a way that I can change the system, he doesn't let Beth and I out without him or mom. So we can't even go into town by ourselves.   

The air is crisp, but it doesn't smell bad like it usually does. It never occurred to me that the smell of burning flesh would be off the streets again, and that we would actually have streets and side walks that are clean. 

The Sirens started going off, a town meeting is called. I climb down the stairs. " Dad, should we go?" I was enthusiastic to go! This could be my escape. There will be to many people to notice that i'm gone and then i'll quickly get through the gates and run. I packed a back pack with; my gun, tennis shoes, yoga pants, and a "Pink" sweatshirt the color of maroon. Instead of putting my gun inside the bag I put it in between my waist of my pants. 

All of us and other families walked to town hall, to meet the mayor and other major people who I really didn't care about. " We have found a cure, for all of this mess. We are helping cities and states all around us. To stop this madness and  make America, America again. " The mayor was happy. Everyone was clapping and yelling " 'MERICA MERICA MERICA." Over and over again.  

I started to run, I needed to get pasted those walls. I needed to see if this is true, or are they lying to try to keep us happy. 

I get towards the gate and stay hidden behind walls and then start to climb the wall. 

" HEY! STOP THERE!."
