Hmm...Since this is the start I guess I should say who am I right. Well, I am Nathan Xavier Morrow. I am a survivor. Well...I was an ordinary man before this whole "Asteroid bringing the zombie-related end of the world" situation . I can only give you how I witnessed it. So started as any normal non-chaotic Saturday, Just me and Jax, My faithful and stupendous dog. He was a cross breed between a German Shepard and a Husky. He was an only pup. No siblings and his mother died a year after his birth so I raised this little bugger. Back to the story, so just me and Jax. We were sitting on the couch in my apartment. My girlfriend was coming over a little later and Jax is a possessive dog so he didn't like when she comes and takes me away from him. I was being lazy and flipping through channels to find something to watch. As fate would have it,I got bored and stopped on an emergency broadcast channel. I was beginning to fall asleep when suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I got up and went to it while Jax looked at me and he knew it was time. I open the door and there she was.Adrienne, My amazing, beautiful girlfriend. She wore a Batman T-shirt and black skinny jeans.
"Why hello there handsome. Happy to see me ?" She asked with a joyous smile
"I always am" I hug her and peck her then carried her inside.
Though Jax didn't like when Adrienne take me from him, he has no problem when she plays with him. She ran towards him and sat next to him then began petting him and scratching his head. He laid there with the face of a stoner. I stood and look at both of them in admiration. In life there's bitter and sweet times. This was the sweet times. Suddenly, the ground began to shake and everyone in the building were panicking and running in the corridor. It stopped and on the TV, a bio-hazard logo was being showed. A news reporter voice was saying " Emergency. This is not a drill. A meteor struck the downtown area. A noxious gas is spreading....It's turning people insane.I'm getting word that the army is combating this. Stay inside an keep the doors close. I repeat, Stay inside an keep the doors close". We heard a women screaming and the broadcast repeated again. I took off the TV and tried to remain calm.
Adrienne looked at me and said shakily "Nathan....What is happening"
"I..I don't know what to say." I said as I try to process what had happen
I open the door and and saw people rushing out of their rooms, grabbing their possessions and leaving. I look at Adrienne and I could see she was petrified. Deep down in me, I was too.
"We should listen to that broadcast" I said as I close the door and locked it.
"Uh..Alright" Adrienne said as she looked out the window.
"Oh my...." Adrienne said in shock
'Nathan look outside"
I head to the window and I looked. Clouds of smoke, people running around in terror and other's chasing with blood dripping from their mouths. It was as if they were... zombies. I saw military personnel shooting against them but the bullets didn't kill them. They ran up to the soldiers and bit into the necks and ripped it out. It was gruesome. Adrienne looked away from the windows. I looked away and I was blank. I didn't know what to do after what I have seen here. I contemplated on leaving the building but outside was a hellhole. I stood in awe."What should I do ?" I asked myself. An hour had passed and I looked outside once more. The rest of the resisting forces were retreating and running from the area.
"Alright we need to get out of the area.Our only hope is to meet with the army and get a safe haven" I said as I began getting resources.
"You sure about the Nat ? What if we leave and they come back to evacuate this building "
"There's likely only us in here and they're already fleeing the area.If they are coming to evacuate,we'll meet them halfway"
"Alright.I'm with you on this one" She said as she began to get ready.
I pack food and water as well as a change of clothes. My dad,before he passed away, gave me a slingshot and a survival knife. I grabbed both and held the knife in my hand.
"Why are you gonna carry that ?" Adrienne asked
"You saw what happen to those people,we don't want to meet a fate like that"
"I suppose"
"Get a weapon for yourself"
"Alright, on it" She grabbed one of the knives from the kitchen
We got ready and headed out. As we walked out,I stop and looked at Jax. He followed me out and sat waiting for me. My dad was a soldier in the army and Jax was followed with him. He is trained for covert operations and assault commands. He was the most experience of us three.
"Alright boy, Let's get moving"
We walked to the lobby and it was empty.Papers scattered all over. Luggage all over the place and clothes on the ground. We walked a bit more and saw a man in a corner over a body.I played a lot of horror games but in this moment, none of the attributes came to my mind.I clenched the knife tightly and called him out
"Uhh...Hello sir..."
He got up and stood there.
"Umm....Crazy day right ?"
He turned around slowly.His eye's were green and yellow. He had a machete stuck in his stomach. he had blood all over his face and hands. His skin was pale as if his blood rushed away from it. He snarled at me.
"Well, uhh nice machete you have there.Don't mind us, we'll just leave."
Jax began growling at it and I slowly began shifting to the side. It then yelled and rushed towards me.I stuck the knife in it's neck as it jumped on me. Adrienne panicked and began stabbing the back. I turned it around and pulled the knife out and kept on stabbing the face.I stopped after the fifteenth time.It stopped moving and I pulled then machete out of it. I panted and tried to catch my breath
"Wow....so zombie.." I said as I looked over it.
"I don't like this one bit" Adrienne looked at me and then gasped
"Looked out !!" She shouted
I quickly turned around and saw the same body that was next to the previous one up to me. Within a split second, Jax jumped on it and began ripping out it's neck and face. I Stood there in shock
"Good boy..." I said in awe.
Jax turned around and sat while looking at me with blood on his snout and fur. His tongue was out and he was panting. Almost look like he was smiling.
"I'm so sorry for those poor soldiers who crossed you" I said while looking at him with a horrified smile.
"We should get going before more of those things come.." Adrienne stated as she looked around worriedly.
"Yes we should. Here take my knife" I gave her the survival knife and I wielded the machete.
"Alright...Let's get moving before the sunset" I said.
We all rushed out into the streets and ran towards the direction the soldiers ran...
