The year 2037. A deadly virus has broke out across the world. This virus causes people to turn into cannibals. Once bitten you start out with a fever, sweating, your breathing becomes erratic, then once your heart stops you die. However, you don't s...
I can't believe I left. I wanted to leave in the beginning but I didn't actually think I'd do it. I hate myself right now. I sigh and keep walking, then I realize I'm heading back to the city. "It's better than nothing. Besides they won't be able to find me if I'm there." I say to myself. After about an hour or two I'm back in the city. This place used to be do beautiful and now look at it. Burnt down, building pieces falling, almost everything on fire. (City before it went to hell above. After below)

I'm to deep in my thoughts to realize a hoard of zombozos surrounding me. I start to panic but then I realize I don't need to panic. There's nothing I can do anyway. By the time I try to fight back I'm going to get bit and then I'm just like these things. I give up but not in time before I here gunshots. I bring my head up and see Nate killing these bastards. Once he's done, I run away again but this time I'm caught. Literally. I stepped into a trap, most likely one they set up. Once I'm in the air Nate, Riley, and Laney appear below me. "We figured you'd try to tun in the opposite direction so we set this up." Riley said. "Yeah. You do realize I can get out of this right?" Their faces twist in confusion. I chuckle lightly and take my knife from my boot and cut the ropes that are holding me. Once the ropes are cut I jump down and face them. "Just like that. Next time don't use rope." And with that I walk away. "Carson..." I hear a small voice. I turn around and face Laney. "Please don't go again. Please don't walk away." She says with tears threatening to fall. I put my hands on her shoulders and say, "I'm sorry Laney... But I... I can't go with you. You all believe there is a sanctuary, I don't. That's all I've ever believed was there is no sanctuary. There is only us trying survive and eventually fail and die. That's all I ever wanted to do when this whole thing started. I always ask myself 'what is the point in living when this world has gone to hell?' There is no point in trying to survive. That's why I am leaving. I'm leaving because everything we knew is gone. And I'm not living like this anymore." And with that I walk away only to stopped again by Riley. "I don't care what you think or believe. You have helped us the minute you hopped in the back of that truck. So you are NOT leaving Carson Drake alright?! Wherever you go I'm following got it!?" I stand there shocked but nod anyway. "I agree with Riley." Laney speaks up, her voice still quivering. We all look at Nate. "Nate?" I ask. "I was going to say 'of you want to leave then leave' but since these two aren't going to leaving you on your own then I'm with you." He says. I just stand there with tears flowing down my cheeks. I quickly wipe them away and start to walk then turn around to say, "Are you coming or not?" They nod and follow. I guess I was wrong. Even though this has gone to hell I'm glad I found these people.
