     "You can run, but you can't hide," I heard Jack say in a sing-song voice.
     I starting to walk away from where it sounded like the voice had come from. I needed to find the house and join back up with the my group. I'll walk around in random directions for awhile, then I'll starting looking for a way back. As long as I stay in town I should be ok.
  
     I walked for what seemed like two hours before I decided to start looking for a way back. I was still in town so I figured it wouldn't be that hard.

     I walked for a half hour when I realized the sun was starting to set. "I'll find you, I swear on your life! HAHAHAHAHA!" I heard Jack say.
     I ran away from the voice again. When I stopped running I realized I was on the outskirts of town. I'll just hide in the woods for tonight then I'll find my way back tomorrow.
     I walked toward the woods. I decided I would go about 20 yards in. When I reached about that far I turned to look at my surroundings and which direction I had come from.
I laid down in case Jack came by and somehow saw me through the trees and other vegetation. I fell asleep about half an hour later.

I woke up in a sitting position. Where am I? I could tell I was in a dark room. I didn't have anything with me other than the clothes on my body.
"I told you I'd find you! HAHAHAHAHA!" Jack said from somewhere in the shadows.
"Let...Me...GO!" I said.
"Your bones will one day be released."
"Along with my very much alive body!" I said through gritted teeth.
"No dear, you see my team and I have been hungry for flesh for weeks and I took the first opportunity I could when you were alone. There is no way you'll be able to take all of us on. Especially with no weapons. HAHAHA!" Jack said.
"Are you a zombie too or something sicko?"
"No sweetheart-"
"I'm not your sweetheart!"
"No, I'm not a zombie. I'm just the one who created them."
"What?"
"You heard me. I was craving flesh and I couldn't go out and kill humans myself so I created minions to kill people and bring them to me. That wrong chemical in the flu shots? I snuck in and put it there. It was a miss calculation that my minions would eat the humans or they would turn into zombies too. But now I can just kill in the open so no harm done there."
"You're a sick, twisted individual!"
"Would you like to include my friends next time you insult one of us?"
Suddenly the lights turned on. Jack was leaning against the wall opposite of me. Standing on either side of him were Brandon, Vivion, Lola, Sam, and Paul.
"You're all crazy! Why would you do this!?" I yelled through tears I just realized were pouring down my face.
"Why? Because animals aren't enough for us. We need human meat." Jack said. "If you want you can join us." Jack held out a piece of what looked like human flesh. "We had to add a little bit of salt and pepper to Mike, but he tastes great!"
"M-Mike!" I said.
"Yeah, your stupid good for nothing ex was an easy target."
"He wasn't good for nothing!"
"Then why'd you dump him then, huh?" Jack said. After he said this he took a bite out of a piece of Mike's body.
"I wasn't happy. I wasn't going to lie to him anymore. I didn't enjoy being with him."
"So?" Jack said. Waving the piece of meat in my face. "Join us or die."
Join cannibals or try and make a run for it with a high chance of dying in the process? Of course I could only pretend to join them. I'd never join them for real. I don't know what I'm going to do.
