I headed out the room into the hall, I looked in a massive cupboard, planks of wood lay on a shelf on the wall, also along with the wood was a tool set, I picked up the planks and put them under my arm and then took the tool box with my free hand.

I shut the cupboard and headed for the main door.

It was locked

I took a quick look through the peep hole.

Zombies roamed the halls, they probably heard us and headed to the noise.

I placed the planks of wood down and the tool box next to the planks.

I opened the tool box, a hammer and some nails was all I needed.

I took the hammer and nails, I chose a sturdy piece of wood and placed it up against the door and hammered the nails into each side, the noise drew attention, zombies started banging on the door, I quickly finished the rest of the door and hammered the rest of planks onto it.

Once I'd finished I took a step back and headed to the couch were the radio sat.

I twisted and turned the knob until I got a signal.

A voice came through eventually.

"Hello, an outbreak has occurred in a matter of days, everyone has been told to stay in there homes and do not approach the infected, I repeat do NOT go near the infected, It seems to be a bite that kills, I repeat a bite that kills, thanks for listening and stay safe".

"The exact same message... Hmmm" I sat back and said to my self...

Confusion...

I turned the channel to find something else, nothing came through.

"Maybe tomorrow" I sat back and pouted.

I drifted to sleep that night, when I woke the next morning Ash was in the kitchen eating some tomato soup I had found the night before.

"Want some?" Ash asked still sleepy.

"Yeah, could do with some bread though" I said taking a bowl from the counter, I filled it with some cold soup.

It was pretty disgusting since it was cold but it will do until we find a safe haven... That's if there is one...

Once we finished me and Ash sat next to the radio in anticipation waiting for someone to come through.

I checked the channel that it was on yesterday.

"Hello, an outbreak has occurred in a matter of days, everyone has been told to stay in there homes and do not approach the infected, I repeat do NOT go near the infected, It seems to be a bite that kills, I repeat a bite that kills, thanks for listening and stay safe".

The same result came through as yesterday...

"Damn, it's probably a recorded message..." Ash said sounding disappointed.

I kept slowly twisting the knob on the radio, nothing came through.

"Uhh again? How long until they make these bloody safe camps?" Ash said sitting back in her chair.

"I-I don't know if they'll ever make one..." I said sitting back.

We sat in silence listening to the outside.

I got over and walked over to the window.

"Wait-wait what's that" I said starring down at the outside world.
