Slowly opening the door I find a slew of gear, everything from weapon attachments, medical supplies, ammo, and etc. I start looking around for some sort of bag, but there was nothing......

I walk out of the office, then turn right and enter the parent's room. I make a check list of things to look for:

1. Leather jacket.
2. Flashlight.
3. Scent neutralizer.
4. Leather gloves.
5. Extra batteries.
6. Bag of some sort.

I feel my hand starting to get hot, then I look down and the candle is almost out. So, I drop it and stomp it out, pulling out the next candle and lighting it.
I pull out the KaBar in my right hand and candle in the left, then I walk over to the closet and yank it open.....

Nobody.

"Thank god for rich people."
I think to myself as I see a leather jacket, and a matching pair of black gloves. Sliding the candle into a shoe rack, then setting the knife down beside it. Sliding the mask off and hanging it up, I start to undo the vest, then I hold it up to the light. Checking for the place where the bullet hit.....

Seeing that nothing's wrong with it, then I hang it on the doorknob. Looking down I see that my shirts covered in blood, sweat, and tears.....

Taking it off and turning around I see nothing but dress shirts, so I move back out to the bedroom. Using the sunlight to see, then I go to the dresser. Yanking out drawers I start looking for a
t-shirt, but finding nothing.

"Damnit, where could a t-shirt be?"
I say out loud for some reason, then I see it....

A second closet.

Walking to the door, then out of instinct I look for a light switch. Finding nothing.
This strikes me as odd because I look at the other close, and see there's not one there either.

I step inside the already open one and look around, then I pick up the candle and look around. That's when I spot it..
Reaching up I grab the artificial light, then click the bulb in.....

I get bathed in a bright, white light, before stumbling a little.
"Holy shit, this is gonna come in handy."
I walk out of the closet, then turn and face the closed door.
I open it and hold the light inside, and that's when I see it.....

The dad, hanging from a rope....
The worst part is, he wasn't dead. Atleast not fully dead, still moving because he had turned. I take a step back, then look behind him....

T-shirts..... Hanging just a few feet away. I pull the pistol from the holster, then put it to his head. About to squeeze the trigger, I start think about how loud the shot is fixing to be.
I turn around and go to grab a throw pillow. That's when the rope snapped.....

I turn around just in time, but not soon enough. The zombie hits me and the pistol flys from my hands, then I watch as my world spins.....

Landing on my back, I watch as it lunges at me, then pins me down. It's teeth come for my throat, as my hand brings the pillow in front of my face...

I can feel it trying to tear through the pillow, but not getting anywhere. I shove it's face with all my strength, then watch as it flys off. Getting to my feet quickly, then watching as it starts running back at me. Once it gets close I step out of the way, then throw it headfirst into the mirror.....

It doesn't stop him....

Instantly it goes to turn back around, so I kick it again and jump to where my gun had fallen. Grabbing it and twisting my body to face it, my finger wraps around the trigger and squeezes....

The dad drops at my feet, but this time he's truly dead. I stand up and check myself, before walking back to the closet. I pick up the light from where I lay on the ground, then walk back inside. I grab a t-shirt and slide it on, before grabbing the light from this closet. Stepping out I go back to the other walk-in, then slide on the jacket and gloves. I put on the vest, slide the pistol into its holster, then pick up the KaBar and clip the mask onto my belt. Before, leaving the parent's room I see a watch. I grab it and put it on, seeing that it's 8:00 A.M....

I walk out of the room and go to the daughter's bedroom, then grab the black backpack off of her bed. Dumping out the bag's contents onto the bed, then walking out and going back to the office. I walk up to the safe and open the door, before opening the bag and looking at the supplies.

"Ok, list time."
I think to myself as I grab the notebook and turn to an open page, before grabbing a pen and setting the notebook on my knee. Starting to put items in the bag, I list them as I do:

A pack of 24, 12v batteries.
An AR-15 grip.
An AR-15 suppressor.
Flashlight attachment.
Military grade medical kit.
2 boxes of AR ammo.

"This doesn't make sense, why have attachments and ammo but no gun?"
I think to myself as I put the flashlight on, sliding the grip into place, then finally screwing the suppressor in.
Inspecting the rifle, I decide it's best to use the gun with a suppressor.
I holster the pistol, before fixing my hands on the rifle....

I slide the backpack on, then remember the key in my pocket. Pulling it out, I look at it......

"Something about this key is familiar." I think to myself, then I remember my nana's shed key. It looked like an exact match. I walk to the window and check the backyard, sitting by the fence is a little garden shed. Looking around the backyard I see nothing, then step away from the window....

"Ok, it's a secret key. What could this guy be hiding? Maybe this guy was a secret serial killer?" I think to myself, then realize that's still less messed up than what's happening now......

I click the safety off the rifle, then leave the room and walk downstairs. I walk to the backdoor, then realize I still haven't eaten....

I go to the refrigerator and grab a water, before chugging half of it and putting three more in my bag. Then, walking to the cabinet I grab a pack of crackers and eat it. Finally, I put two more packs inside my bag and walk to the door......

Checking the backyard once more, then stepping outside I hurry to the shed.

"Please don't be a murder shed, please please don't be a murder shed."
I think to myself as I pull out the key and open the door......

"Thank god for fucking preppers."
I say as my mouth drops and my eyes light up at what's inside.....
