     Panic and confusion control my mind. Good thing mom likes to hunt. I think. Mom. Oh no. I wonder if she knows about this. She did watch the news. I can't think about her right now, at the start of an apocalypse. I scurry down stairs to moms gun room. I search for a hand gun. 5 minutes later, I finally find one. I run up the steps to the kitchen and grab a sharp, smooth stake knife. With the hand gun and the knife in each hand, I run to my bedroom to find a backpack. I pick my dark green one I sometimes use for school. Then, I run to the kitchen again and get around a dozen water bottles filled with fresh clean water and bring them back to my backpack. Bullets. I need bullets. I jog back down to the gun room and get as much ammo to last about 3 months and fill my backpack, once again. I grab a picture of me and my mother, and stuff it into my bag, leaving the rest of our family photos behind, thinking mom will take them. I go to my living room and peak out the window. I'm not confused anymore. I know what is happening. Cannibals. Sorry not cannibals; flesh eating monster. Zombies. Yeah zombies is the word. All I can think about is my mother. But I can't stay and wait for her. I have to go out, and fight. I slowly make my way to the door and take out my knife from my bag, thinking that I'll have to kill to survive. And not just the animals.
