March 15th, 2031, Day six since the government shut down and abandoned us
I, Preston Varron Plaz, have survived at a great cost, I had to kill four of my closet family. You may be thinking it's my mom, my dad, a sibling or two? No, my mother was in jail for drugs my entire life, never met my dad, he bailed on us when I was born. My older brother was killed in a drive by shooting back when the police were nothing but pawns by the mafia, criminals and prisoners. The future, everyone dreamt of flying cars, teleportation devices? No, it's a dark future indeed-
"What are you doing?" came a loud, curious but pissed off voice, I looked up, it was my second closet friend. He had long black hair that stopped just below his shoulder blades, he usually had it in a ponytail but the band broke yesterday. "I'm writing down our experience, wouldn't it be helpful when this gets sorted out?" I pointed out and he rolled his eyes, "Whatever you say" He turned his head away to point at a huge house, "Hey, we could search through those rich pricks that had their heads up their ass" He said, pointing to a huge house, up the tall hill, I sighed but then grinned, "I would love to spend the night there, this backpack is heavy. What about you, Kalvin?" I complained, lightly.
I, as I said that, adjusted the hiking backpack on the back of my shoulders, a similar one was on Kalvin's back but he didn't respond, as we went up the hill, my legs started growing heavy but I kept on, I didn't bother complaining because I knew Kalvin would just snap at me. As we reached the top, we froze. Infected! About twenty feet away, were a group of six undead, bent over what looked to be the leftovers of a group of survivors... Well not survivors anymore. Kalvin whispered into my ear, and I jumped, "Let's sneak around" He muttered and I nodded, we hardly took a step when an infected looked up. The alarm sounded, a blinding scream that echoed in my mind, I wanted to rip my hair out, I wanted to let myself be eaten alive. I forced myself to run after Kalvin, he kept looking back and getting further away, "Kalvin wait!" I huffed after him, he knew I was a slow runner.
As the infected, which were running behind us and gaining on me, screaming and screeching, one took a leap, I barely escaped with a quick, short burst of speed. As we got to the corner of the house, Kalvin leaped and scurried up the wall, I panicked, I couldn't jump that high, I took a leap and Kalvin grabbed my hand. It was a terrifying moment as the infected got to the corner and leaped at me while Kalvin pulled me up; as he lost his balance and fell backwards, pulling me. Our hands slipped, I grabbed the edge of the ten foot, stone wall, the infected leaped and screeched, one got my shoe. My fingers were slipping as Kalvin got up, trying to climb back up on the other side; finally, his foot caught hold of a rock sticking out and he managed to get on the wall. He pulled me up quickly as I managed to kick away the hands on my shoe.
Kalvin climbed down first, helping me down after he landed. "That was too close" He breathed heavily before limping to the house. "Wait!" I called, hurrying after, "What happened to your leg?" I asked, worried. "I twisted it when I fell down for the first time" He grunted with pain and I stared at him, "If it was twisted you wouldn't be in pain" I pointed out, "I remember when you twisted your leg at the park when we first met, you didn't even notice." I reminded and he ignored me, he cracked his neck before smiling at me, "Ready to give these bastards what they deserve?" He asked and I couldn't help but grin, "Sure" I said, raising my crowbar and he raised his baseball bat, we clinked them together before he tried the backdoor, it was unlocked.
Kalvin entered first, I followed slowly, as we got inside, I shut the door behind us. With a small whistle, we heard the screeches, two infected came flying down the stairs, as they hopped off the stairs, they spun at us. One had tangled, long blonde hair with part of her arm missing with a beautiful blue gown that you could see her garter belt, which was blue to match her gown. The man was wearing a casual suit, gray stripes with a red tie; his hair was styled back but bits were up, his mouth was so bloody and gruesome, with pieces of flesh hanging off the corner of his mouth. The suit was ruined, dirty, bloody and disgusting, it's neck was twisted to the right, showing a bloody bite mark. As the two let out matching screams and rushed at us, the female fell halfway because of her blue heels. Kalvin stepped forward and swung, the baseball bat slammed against the zombie's head, it almost went in slow motion and as the zombie hit the wall, Kalvin grinned, "Finish him" Preston said as Kalvin slammed the end of the bat into the zombie's skull, breaking it.
As the woman approached, her teeth bloody and disgusting with pieces of flesh falling out as I raised my crowbar, she leaped out. My heart was pounding so loud it was canceling my hearing. I brought down my weapon, it fell into her hair, she dropped and I repeatedly slammed into the skull, after a couple of seconds, I stopped, wiping some sweat off my forehead before, finally, bringing down one last blow. I stepped over the blood puddles with a disgusted face and squeaked when Kalvin pushed me back. As I hopped away from the blood, now safe even if I was pushed, I punched Kalvin's shoulder as hard as I could. "YOU JERK!" I said, a little too loud, as I continued to smack on his arm while he laughed and brushed me off. I hated how small I was to him and how he didn't even notice when I hit him. As we started into the kitchen, there was a growl, Kalvin snorted with laughter and pointed, there was the tiny Pomeranian. It was bloody and rabid but it was tied up and I stared at Kalvin.
I was utterly disgusted, "How are you laughing!" I snapped with an obviously disgusted face, "Oh come on, this is pathetic! It's this little tiny shit dog! How is it not funny? This thing ripped up my pant legs on more then one occasion." He reminded and my face grew more repulsive, "I can't believe you, just let me get away before you kill it" I muttered before hurrying out of the room, covering my ears. As I heard the loud thump that it had been killed, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I spun around and held my hands up without thinking, a huge infected was on me, snapping at my face. I let out a small yell mixed with a high pitched scream as I struggled to keep the crowbar up and those biting teeth and scratching hands away from me. As my strength started to leave me, my hands buckled and I knew I was going to die.
