I wake up at 8AM and get ready for work, once I'm done, I grab my lunch and walk past the TV and the news is on and the news reporter is talking about some sort of unknown disease, but I didn't take much notice and I walked out to my car after locking the front door of my apartment.
I drive too the office that I work at and park my car and walk inside the main door after locking my car.
A man walks up to me "Jackson!" He yells happily as he speed walks toward me. "Dude have you heard about this disease that is making people go crazy?!"
I reply uninterested "No... And I don't care..."
His facial expression changes from excited to serious as he says
"Jackson... This could mean something really bad... Or it could be fine... We have to be careful when around other people... Cause we don't know how it spreads..."
I look at him slightly afraid and ask "What do I do then?"
He answers calmly "Well it could be threw body fluids, or less likely it could be in the air we breathe..."
I breathe out calmly and tell him he should get back to work as I sit down at my desk and start typing on the computer.
Once the day is over I leave the office building and get in my car and drive home.
Once I get there I go inside and sit on the couch and turn on the TV and change the channel to the news, and the news reporter is standing on the sidewalk on a street in Kin, and there are two cars that look like one of them ran into the back of the other, she is talking about the car crash and saying that the driver had died behind the wheel and crashed, but then the dead driver sits up and jumps out of the car and tackles one of the paramedics trying to bite him as it screeches loudly as it tries to bite the paramedic, and after a couple of seconds it succeeds and bites into the mans neck and he screams.
A police officer points his pistol at the aggressive man and pulls the trigger and it hits the infected man in the neck and it turns and looks at the officer, unaffected by the bullet wound in its neck.
Then it gets off of the dead paramedic and sprints toward the police officer and the officer starts shooting the infected man in he body until he ends up shooting it in the head before it gets to him and it falls forward and lands hits the ground.
I stand up and run to my bedroom and pull a small case out from under my bed and open it, revealing a black pistol, nothing fancy and I grab it, my hands trembling as I put in the magazine with the ammo in it and I cock the gun and tuck it in my pants, as I cover the handle with my shirt.
I pick up a hiking back pack and start to fill it with cans of food and a couple of bottles of water and I zip it up and leave it by the front door as I lock the door and close the curtains.
I sigh as I lay on the couch safe inside my house, Or at least safe for a moment.
(Let me know what u think of this new beginning! ^-^)
