The Next Generation

Chapter 1: Flashback

2 months Later...

Hi! I'm Jaze Darwin Mendoza, you can call me Jaze, I'm just a teenager and I managed to survive the first outbreak all by myself, It's been 2 months since it started. Let me tell you what was really happened and how it started.

(Flashback)
The Night of July 31, 2016 my friends invited me for a jamming, because our friend Ryan will celebrate his 16th birthday.
At first I refused but soon I was convinced, we spent the whole night singing, dancing, laughing etc...
We were all drunk, and I didn't realize that I slept in My friend's house, I woke up feeling the ache in my head it must be called hangover.

I found no one in the house, but just myself, I called for my friend's name but I didn't get a response. I looked at their wall clock and its 12:07pm. Suddenly a gun shot echoed in my very ears, I was shocked.

Then the sound of crashing cars followed, I can hear screaming people, and this time I was at the state of confusion and curiosity, due to this, I decided to go outside and see for myself what was really happening.

As I opened the door, a man fell on the ground and a crazy-looking guy jumped on him, and the next scene was completely shocking, The crazy-looking guy bite the neck of the man and ripped it violently.

My heart was pounding very fast, and my knees were shaking in fear, I don't know what to do, I can see in each direction, some people were attacking others, blood are everywhere, I can hear screams everywhere.

The crazy-looking guy in front of me turned his head, and his look is something really scary, he was slowly standing up, and was about to attack me when I snapped out from confusion, I ran back to the house and locked the door, the guy started banging the door.

"What the hell are those things? Why do they act this way?"

Questions Roamed my mind

"Is this really happening? Are they zombies? No! It can't be happened zombies are just a work of imagination, they're not real, but those fucking creatures appear to be zombies."

I turned the television on and surprisingly a news is just being reported

Reporter: (crying) Yes! it's really happening, The next generation is about to start, zombies were real and they're attacking people, and soon they will also eat us like a meal, oh my god!!!!!

The line was cut...

"Oh my god! What am I suppose to do? I'm just a kid, My family is out there and I don't know if they're still alive or they're now one of those creatures"

Immediately, I searched for anything I can use to defend myself against those fucking zombies, I picked up a knife, then at the sink I found a machete, I don't know how to use a gun and honestly I never experienced to try a gun but it no longer matters at this point. I Grabbed the handgun of Ryan's father from the cabinet.

Jaze's POV

I can do this, I maybe a kid but my mind and strength are exceptional.

I stood in front of the door, without thinking twice, I removed the two locks, and the door knob is now the only one locked, I twisted it and pulled the door, I can see running
people everywhere.

Then I saw a zombie approaching towards my direction, it's not that fast comparing to the one I encountered earlier. I grabbed his hair and I stabbed the knife into his neck, he fell on the ground and I pulled the knife.

Then one more zombie is approaching towards my direction, it wears a white suit, it's like the one that is used by welders but it's colored white, this one is different, its running very fast, as it reached me, it grabbed me and I fell on the ground.

It's very strong, he's trying to bite me on the neck but I'm doing my best to prevent it, but he's very strong and I can't prevent it any longer! Fuck!!! I picked up the knife and I stabbed it into his head, and he stopped from attacking me, sure enough he's dead.

I took a moment to observe my surrounding, I can see zombies running, they are running toward their victims, and something caught my attention, there are some zombies who wear the same with the one I killed.

They wear a white suit, and they don't have hair strands, they're very aggressive, I looked back to the one I killed and I saw numbers written on his head, it's like an ID number. More zombies are approaching towards me, I started to run.

I saw a woman lying on the street and she was being eaten by a zombie, she's looking at me and there is something in her look that made me cry, two more zombies joined and they started to eat the woman.

There are lots of car and tricycle on the street, but I don't know how to drive, I'm stupid!!! Fuck!! Then I saw a bicycle on the side of the road, I grabbed it and I started to leave the place.

Our house is located in hulo, and I'm in bagumbayan, it's not that far from here.

"What the hell!!! Fuck!!! (Crying) Is this the end? What if my mom, dad and sister were eaten? What would I do? I can't live without them."

On my way, I saw lots of dead body scattered everywhere and those fucking zombies keep attacking people. I reached our house, the street was quiet. I called for my mom, dad and sister but I didn't get any response.

I knocked through the doors of our neighbours, but no response, then I went to our mini store to see if they were there but I was wrong.

"Mom! Dad! Sis! Wherever you are, I will always love you and you'll remain in my heart and mind"

I was crying so loud, then I have noticed that zombies were running toward me, I immediately ran to my Aunty's house, luckily the gate is open, as I entered, I locked it then I went to the living area and locked the door.

I peeked trough the glass window and I saw the horde of zombies roaming around, they were searching for signs of life. It must me safe here, but how long will I survive? How about the food?

I looked around the house to know if my Aunty was here, I searched in the bedroom downstairs, but found no one, I slowly went upstairs calling for my Aunt, but sure enough, no one is here.
