They were beautiful

The virus

I was scared not that I might be effected but that my parents were currently in Australia which is Where the virus first started. I soon started to panic what if they were infected, no I had a horrible feeling in my gut that they weren't coming back. I ripped my phone from the charger and dialed my moms phone, it rang and rang and rang.

No answer. I began to panic even more quickly dialing my dads number knowing he wouldn't answer. It rang and rang once again no answer. I went to the door with tears dripping down my face locking the three locks on the door then I ran to the back door and locked it as well. Thoughts going through my head about where my parents are and if they are dead or not and if I'm  going to survive. Once I lock both doors I grab the gun from our basement and sit on the couch and watch the news.

Although the food was not what it said it said brains. Which that made me laugh a little inside because honestly I must be getting pranked on or something. But no I realized this was not a prank so I called my best friend. Barb was my everything she was there I needed her and even when I didn't but I needed her this time I really did. I dialed her number so fast I heard it ring finally she picked up I told her to get any weapons she had and drive over to my house.

Without any hesitation she agreed and started to drive. She finally arrived and I opened the door and greeted her we went up stairs and sat down talking. 

But then we realized we forgot to lock the door.
