5 Years Till Death

Chapter 5 Looking For A Home.

From this point I'm about 15 minutes from my house. I drive and drive looking out the windows, seeing blood stains on my wight shirt. But most of all, thinking about my beloved parents, death. I try not to cry but thinking about my mom's wight as the sky, smile and my dad's warm presence, leaves me in tears. I'm only 13 years old, I need them.

luckily my dad taught me how to drive when I was 11 years old. So i feel very safe behind the wheel. And my mom taught me how to shoot a gun... Funny how that works. I guess they planed all of this happing. I know they didn't in reality, but I like to think that they had a plan for me, it comforts me.

I drive up to the house and pull into the drive way. By this time the sick ones have not mad it to the suburbs yet, so I should be safe for a few hours. I walk up to the door, I'm still very shook up. I unlock the door and close the door behind and me, and I make sure to lock up. I look around and see my family pictures everywhere, the tears wants again start to fall down my face. But I stay strong.

I turn on the tv to see what's going on. The news is going crazy "emergency go inside and lock your doors, do not go out side!!!" I look out my front window to see what's going in. I see all of my neighbors houses boarded up. I guess when there's a disease that makes you have cravings, and were not talking about cravings like you need a taco at 2am no we're talking about cravings like you need human flesh. I gauss the news spreads around fast. It looks like I'm the only one who's house is unprotected... Shit.

It's are ready midnight, I try to stay up as long as I can but my eye lids start to get heavy. I go into my room and jump into my warm safe bed, and fall asleep very fast.

BEEP BO.... I wake up in a second and fall of my bed, what's that noise!? Oh my god.... Every sirens in the city is going off. I quickly turn on the tv and watch the news. "The affected is know in a 100 mile radius." I run to the window and look out side...fuck.... there must be 30 of the sick ones out side trying to look for fresh flesh. I know I'm not safe in this old house, then I remember we have a bomb shelter next to my house! I dreaded thinking about going out side, but it's the only way I can be safe. I put on my boots and my coat, I slowly open the door, then I run.

I start to run like there's no tomorrow, but I can see that the sick ones notice me, so I run faster. I get to the bomb shelter and unlock it, I get inside and lock all of the 15 locks on the door. Then i turn on the lights. Oh my god... there was at least a year supply of food. there was one more closet I hadn't open up yet. I unlock it, mouther of god... guns! That's right knives, pistols, machine guns, and snipers. You name it.

I sleep, I eat, I sleep I eat, to scared to go back out side. it's been a month no one tried to find me... no one.
