     I don't remember when I fell asleep, maybe 1 A.M. My dreams were not normal, I could only assume that they could be my memories. They were flying by, like they did when I passed out. I tried to grasp one of them, for curiosities sake. I end up remembering when we were at the lab. At that moment I feel immense pain again, and I fall to the floor. I feel every needle piercing my skin, and I yell out in immense pain, but nothing came out. I look at me, In the memory, who's screaming out in immense pain. Then all of the sudden, silence. I look around to notice why I stopped screaming. Then I notice that the heartbeat monitor stopped. I died? But how am I still.... My memory was interrupted by me being violently shaken. I blink a couple times to see Lee looking at me with extreme worry. 

     "Robert, what the hell is wrong with you?! I wake up to hear a thud and you screaming your lungs out....." He looks at me, starting to cry lightly, "I.... Thought you were bitten.... And I come out here worried that..." His voice trails off. I look at him shocked, Lee rarely cries. But then again under these circumstances..... I look at him. "Don't worry I'm fine, just a really bad dream that's all." I get up looking around, "What time is?" He looks at me, wiping away his tears quickly "It's.... 8:45 A.M." I get up from the chair. I walk to his bedroom, and lay on his bed. "I'm going back to sleep..." And just like that I pass out, falling asleep peacefully.

Lee's Point of View

    I look at Robert, who's passed out on my bed. I shake my head lightly "Jesus man...." I turn around and head to my kitchen, going to get something to eat. I open up a cabinet and grab a thing of granola bars. I head to the living room and take a look out the window. "They" were shambling here and there, but they were on the road, thankfully not even noticing us. I let out a sigh of relief "That's one less thing I have to worry about at the moment..." I get up and walk into my room again, watching Robert sleep peacefully. I sit on the edge of the bed looking around. I really hope my parents are alright..... I lean against the wall, and doze off, with a tear running down my cheek.

                                  - Four Hours Later-

    I yawn, opening my eyes and looking around the room. I sit up, noticing Lee sleeping against the wall. "Same old Lee..." I chuckle lightly and stand up. I walk into the living room, seeing a box of granola bars. I sit down on my chair, and start eating. After a bit of chowing down on granola bars I stand up looking around the room. A few seconds later, Lee walks into the room, looking tired. "So, when are we gonna head to your house?" Lee asks me. I look out the window to see many of "Them" were out there. "I would say in about the next 20 minutes." He nods in agreement.

     Once the 20 minutes went by, we carefully moved the couch back. Lee looks at me "You ready to kick some zombie ass?" I nod, "Hell yeah man. I've been waiting for this time to come ". I stand at the front door, with my machete in hand. I look at Lee calmly "You ready?" He nods, and I open the door silently. The road was deserted, except for a few zombies, but they didn't notice us jog by, which was fine by me. A few minutes later we end up at the three-way intersection, which heads down a hill that leads to my house. I take a left down that road, and me and Lee walk in silence. After 20-30 minutes we reach the bottom of the hill, and look around. I didn't spot any zombies around, so I walked down the road some more and walked up to my house.

     My house is a nice colonial, two story house. It was just me and my dad, but it was really cheap on rent. What's great about it is that it runs on its own electric and water lines, thanks to me and my dad. Dad..... I really hope your alright...... I walk up the porch, and unlock the door with a fingerprint sensor. The door opens and me and Lee walk inside, the door closing automatically. We walk into the living room, and flop onto the couch, greeted by air conditioning. I smile as the cool breeze greets my entire body, making me shiver lightly. Lee sighs in relief "I'm really glad we got here without being attacked..." I nod in agreement, "Yeah... so I'm gonna go into my room and take a nice shower, knock if you need anything." He nods as I walk into my room.

     I keep the door to my room slightly open and look around. Nothing has changed in here since it all started... I head in to the bathroom and close the door, and lock it. I take off my clothes and turn the shower nob, and sure enough water comes out of the faucet. After a few minutes of taking a shower I dry off and open the door. I put some clean clothes on, and go back to the living room. Lee's sitting on the couch, staring off into space. I walk up to him and put my hand on his shoulder. 

       He got scared and jumped up, but tripping on the edge of the couch and fell to the ground. He looks at me angrily"Why the hell you do that for!!!" I shook my head lightly, "You were spacing out again." He looks at me, all his anger gone "Oh, sorry." I smile, "Don't worry about it. Go take a shower and take a nap, I'm gonna start getting things ready." He looks at me for a little bit, and gets up and heads to my room, and closes the door. I sit down on the couch thinking: Alright, so where are my bags? I get up and walk down the end of the hall and opened up my work room.

     I look around and notice a piece of paper laying on my desk. I walk over to it and look at it, and open it. Robert, if you are reading this, please be careful out there. Some thugs came here some months after you went missing and told me what they were here for. They are taking your sister and brother, and your step mom. They came back after some time for me. They gave me some time to write this in case you came here. I'm sorry but your mother.... They killed her. I tried to ask them about her. But your sister said that your mom was talking to one of them . They got into an argument and one of them pulled a gun on her, and shot her dead. The man showed no remorse. I'm sorry that I had to tell you like this. But there is something else that you should know.... I didn't read the rest of it. I stopped reading after that one sentence. My mom's.... Dead?
