Alcohol Addiction

Dukes Research

Step by step still listening to the cries of children outside. They were standing in front of the room. Henry very slowly moved his hand towards the cold, brass door knob. "Oh, hurry up!" said Thomas quickly opening the doorway to find both his parents sitting on the carpeted floor beside their queen bed leaning over Thomas's decapitated dog's body. Their mouths dripping in shiny dark, red blood they picked up one of the arms and each toke a huge bite. Mum first, then dad.

Thomas faced turned white like a ghost and Henry toke a step back breathing heavily again. "What the hell are you doing!" yelled Thomas at his parents, the sense of fear in his voice. His mum and dads head jerked up from looking at the dead dog towards Thomas and Henry. They started talking to each other in a weird language Thomas couldn't understand. His mum and dad got up from their knees and fixed their attention to Thomas and Henry.

"What do we do?" asked Henry quietly.

"Shhh!" said Thomas staring at his parents. His mum and dad were still staring at Thomas. Thomas and Henry stepped backwards into the dark hallway again and Henry flicked on a light. Their parents were now walking slowly towards them, stepping over the dogs bloody body and getting closer to the open door. Closer to them.

Now the light shone on Thomas parents. They looked pale and purple veins showed all over their skin. Their eyes were black and there were bald spots all over their heads. Hair falling from their head onto the floor as they walked. Thomas and Henry were in the middle of the hallway now and their parents slowly kept creeping forward. Thomas thought of what to do but, his mind was totally blank and he couldn't think with the continuos screams of children outside. The only option he could think of was to-

"RUN!" Henry and Thomas turned around and sprinted down the carpeted stairs and into the kitchen. The kitchen was trashed. Their was flour everywhere and wine and beer bottles smashed all over the ground. Thomas had no idea what was going on. His parents were possessed and their house was trashed. Henry and Thomas continued to sprint through the kitchen and out the back door just as they heard their parents coming down the stairs. Now the screams outside were very clear. The air was cold and the sky was dark and foggy. They ran into the middle of the street and stopped to catch their breath. Children went past them like cars and more were coming out of their homes. "Duke!" yelled Thomas. Duke was Thomas best friend from his school. Duke was a fat boy with really pale skin and freckles all over his face and arms. His hair was dark red and was always curly in little ringlets. "W-what's going on?" asked Thomas. Duke stopped running next to Henry and Thomas and put his hands on his knees catching his breath. Duke lived in the last house at the end of the street so he must have been running for a long time. "The parents" Duke huffed. "Didn't you hear the news last night?"

"No, why" Henry interrupted.

"The news reporters said that be cautious of drinking any alcohol for the next 24 hours because there is a potential virus that was put inside alcohol factories."

"I guess that true right?" asked Thomas anxiously.

"Well" said Duke standing upright and looking at Thomas now. "The parents drink alcohol stupidly not taking any notice of the report and the virus made them addicted to it for 3 hours where they consistently drank. Over the night the virus took over. Possessing their body and making them want blood."

"How do you know all this?" asked Thomas.

"Research. After I heard the report I was interested in what it meant, but we've got to get out of her. Fast!"

Duke, Thomas and Henry sped of into a sprint out of town along with at least another 200 kids. Now living life running and hiding from all adults and parents.
