|Sherwin's POV|

I run through the empty streets of a small village. It was once a nice and cheerful pleace, just like every other place on this planet once was. But about two months ago a unknown virus took over the entire planet. No one knows what started this but we do know that it can never be stopped. More than half of world's population has turned into flesh eating zombies in only such a short period of time. I wonder how much time I have left. Even if I did manage to survive, there would be no point in being the last person alive. Being all alone is worse than being dead.
I keep running before I see a small store. Peeking in trough the windows it looks like it's empty. I quietly make my way inside and make sure no zombies are hiding somewhere between the shelves. There isn't much food left here but I grab all I can get. Anything you can get your hands on will matter in a situation like this. I should probably also find a new hiding place for myself. One of those houses here might work. I wish I could come across another human though. It has been week since that. Is there any even left in my area? It's also dangerous to make friends with just anybody now. You can never truly trust someone, they could always turn against you and steal all your food and weapons. I shake my head, trying to think of something else. There is no need to make myself worried. It'll only make it worse. I exit the store and look for a most safe looking house to spend my night in. Most of the doors on houses are broken, probably people looking for food and supplies just kicked the doors open. It doesn't look promising. I start to panic a bit. Spending a night outside would be the worst idea ever. Suicide even. I keep checking the houses, I guess I could also just block the doors but having a door with a lock on it is alot more secure. The when village looks like straight out of a horror film. I shiver, bouth from the cold and the fear. After about fifteen more minutes of searching I come across a pretty good looking house. It even has two floors in case I need to escape trough another way. I carefully check the house. No one alive here, only a few dead bodies with smashed in head lay on the kitchen and living room floor. Guess someone was here once alredy. I get rid of the bodies and block the doors. With a nervous sigh I lay down on the couch. Finally, feeling a bit more secure. I could totally stay here for a longer period of time. I decide to search the house for supplies and place everything in once area to later grab if I need to escape at any point. I found a med kit, perfect. It has almost everything necessary inside. I also found a tiny bit more canned food from the basement, an baseball bat that could be used as a weapon, a flashlight and a half pack of matches. My stomach grumbling I grab myself a tiny bit of food. I wish I had enough for a proper meal but this will have to do for now. Here is no else I light a few candles that I also found laying around. Much better, almost like home...

| Jonathan's POV|

"GRAB THE GUNS!"
I throw multiple shotguns at my friends and take one for myself as well before running out with them to protect everyone else who are alredy outside, shooting at a massive group of zombies. Where did they all come from?? I thought this place was safe but right after one got past the gates when we were letting a truck inside everything went sideways. I climb on top of a car and shoot like my depends on it.
"There's too many of them!"
One of my friends yells before a zombie launches right at his throat, ripping it open within seconds. Horrified I stare at it. More and more roam in, the gunfire is too loud. Soon half of our team has been killed and we realize the only chance is to run. I quickly enter the car I was standing on, two of my other friends enter as well but the one on the passenger seat gets grabbed by hi arm trough the window. I shoot the zombie and quickly drive off. He's bit...
He looks at me and I already know what he's thinking. Once you get bit there is no way to survive. Within an hour you'll slowly become one of those ugly flesh eating things. I keep driving for a while, making sure to get as far as possible from our destroyed base. The girl on the back seat suddenly speaks up.
"There's no one behind us...where are the rest of the cars?"
My eyes widen and I quickly look behind us from the cars mirror. The road is empty.
"Maybe they went trough another road..."
I try to calm us.
She shakes her head.
"There was only one road leading here from the base. Do you think they all..."
"Don't say it!"
The guy next to me shouts.
We keep quiet for the rest of the ride. It's getting darker now and the guy next to me look worse and worse. We soon come across a gas station.
"Let's stop here, I'll get us some food. You guys keep and eye on the car."
I park the car near the entrance and grab a gun with me. Stepping into the gas station store I hear growling. A zombie with no legs is slowly crawling towards me. I smash it's head in with a nearby mop not to make too much sound. Looks like no one has been here yet. I garb as much food as I can and shove it in a sports bag that was also sold here. Suddenly I hear a scream. Oh no. Running outside I see how the guy who was bitten hovering over the girl, ripping out her guts.
"No!!"
I scream and take out my gun, why must you make me do this world. Why must I shoot my friends. Tearing up I shoot them bouth. It's quiet now. No zombies growling, only the wind blowing and birds singing. I lower the gun and stand there for a while. Am I really left all alone now. Tears falling down my cheeks I pull the two bodies out of my car and place them gently on the ground, side my side. Throwing the bag with foods where the girl once sat I get back into the car. I must keep moving. Find a place to stay. It's getting darker and darker each minute and I'm too scared to sleep in the car. Taking one last look at my friends I drive off. To road is still empty. No other cars around. I wonder if the rest of my friends died as well. I forgot to check the gas, crap. I don't have much left and there's no use to turn back now as well. I can only hope for the best. After about an hour of driving I see a small village in the distance. Arriving closer it look like a decent place to stop. No zombies around, no humans either. I drive around the street when I sudden see a house with some light coming from the window. Could it be, that someone's there. I hesitate but decide to investigate. Stopping my car in front of the house I peek in from one of the window. Multiple candles are pleased all around the house but no owner seems to be around. I walk over to the door and knock a few times. It's quiet for a few seconds before I can hear footsteps coming close. The door opens and before me stands a young ginger boy. Possibly my age. He looks frightened.
