As I was getting dressed to go to bed my mom knocked on my door I hurried up and put on my shirt, "come in mom!" I said louder then expected. "I'm off to work (Y/N) your dad already left I'll see you in the morning okay?" Mom asked with a bright smile on her face. Her and my dad both worked third shirt at a hospital the only time I really saw them was in the mornings because they usually slept through the day. "Yeah I'll see you in the morning mom I love you, have fun at work!" I said as I gave her a small grin. She hugged me and walked out the door.

*BOOM*
I jumped out of bed grabbing my phone to use as a flashlight, when I picked up the phone I seen I had a couple missed calls and some texts from my mom and dad.
Honey wake up! -mom
(Y/N) call me right now. -dad
(Missed call from dad)
(Missed call from dad)
(Missed call from mom)
The list of things went on and on, I was terrified they never call me while they're at work let alone text me. As I went to go unlock my phone my phone started ringing. I instantly picked up seeing it was my mom.
"Honey are you okay!"
"Yes mom, what's going on? Are you okay, you're scaring me."
"Hon-... go to the highwa-... they evacuated us from the hospi-... it's to dangero-..."
The connection was cutting in and out I could barely understand what she was saying but I was able to make out go to the highway.
"Mom I can't understand you you're cutting in and out"
"I love yo-.. please get here sa-...
My mom was cut off once again but this time I heard my dad yelling in the background "you got ahold of her?!? Is she okay?!?" But then I heard gunshots and the call dropped. I tried calling her again but but my service went out. I looked out my window to see that parts of the city was on fire and I saw people eating each other. I stumbled backwards tripping over a chair. 'I just watched someone eat someone else what the fuck is going on.'

After coming to my senses I started to pack my bag. I grabbed my school bag and dumped all my books and papers out of it and started looking around for items that seemed needed. I grabbed some clothes, a couple family photos, some of the food we had some water, a flashlight, my pocket knife my dad got me for my birthday, and my dads pistol that he kept in his study. I didn't know what to expect when I walked out the door so it wasn't a bad idea to bring with me. I went to the garage and grabbed my bike since both of the parents took their cars to work. I started peddling towards the highway to only relies that I was being chased by a couple of people. As they got closer I could tell they weren't people. Their eyes were glossy, they walked kinda slowly, they couldn't speak all they could do was moan. As I looked around me I saw, dead bodies, destroyed homes, the dead rising, at that moment I knew everything I knew before was gone.
