Long live the dead

When The Dead Rise

Day 70: I dont know what to say any more and life has become such a pattern that what use to be a suprise has fallen to be the normal. Death and decay continues but nothing can stop that now. Things are different and the dead are more common than the living yet both manage to be just as dangerous.

Day 1:

"Look here man, if you want to destroy your life slinging dope around the streets, thats on you Collin. I don't want any part of it, and if you keep up, I will have to get a new roommate." I told Collin frustrated with his daily bullshit.

"Bro, you are just accusing and a hater. Just chill out a bit and I will explain in the afternoon. No worries man." He responds.

This is all lies, as always, but I agree anyway.

"Okay, well bring some KFC on the way back than." I tell him.

He smiles and walks out of the house. I sit down and eat some cereal and get ready for the day. I got in my car and drove to the post office to buy some stamps.

I visited old lady Maggy and brought her some groceries. Than I began driving to the gas station. The road was really empty, something fairly uncommon around thess parts. As I turn the corner, a car hit me really hard from the side.

My ears were buzzing and my head was flying for while till it all settled to the sound of a car horn honking with no pause. I unbuckle my seatbelt and check the person behind me. There head down on the horn and both of our cars were in a brutal state. The girl on the passenger side got out and started yelling.

"What the fuck is wrong with you. Did you not fucking see us coming, you fucking prick. My dad is a lawyer and he will sue you for everything you got, you hear me?" She yelled as she kept pushing me.

I called Collin to come give me a ride back home. He showed up within ten minutes in which I spent exchanging information with the rude lady. The guy was still unconscious, which started to spark some worry in her and I.

Collin pulled up next to me.

"Damn! They really wrecked yo shit!"

I just nodded.

I walked up to the door and opened it. I unbuckled the seatbelt, than the man tackled me growling and making strange noises. I was holding him back, I felt saliva spitting on to my face and his mouth had foam. I get the upper hand and punch him than get up and back up to Collin.

"What the hell is wrong with you man?!" Collin yelled at the strange guy. His neck was broken! How is he still going?

Than the girl walked up to him.

"Are you okay sweetie?" She said.

He than pushed her down and took a bite out of her neck. She tried to scream but couldn't as he ripped everything out. She died right than but he bit her again and kept eating her corpse.

"Ugh that sick, what the hell are you doing bro. I'm calling the police!" Yelled Collin.

The man got up and began walking towards us slowly.

"Back up!" I yelled.

"For real!" I added as he inched closer with blood dripping down his face and body.

"He said to back up fool!" Said Collin as he pulled out a pistol and shot the man in the chest. The man fell to the ground hard.

"Dude you just killed a person!"

"He just killed a person as well." He responded.

"This isn't okay man, you can go to jail. Worse! We can go to jail." I yelled at him.

Than I hear the strange noises again. I look and the man was getting up again.

Me and Collin both stood suprised looling at him continue walking towards up with his pale but bloody skin. Colling shot him again, but the man kept coming.

"What shit are you on?" Said Collin as he shot once more, this bullet to the head.

The man fell and stayed down. I look ever and see the girls head disconmected from her body but she was making the exact same strange noises.

"What is going on man?" I asked Collin as I was terrified.

"I really don't know." He responded.

He shot the girls head and she stopped.

"We have to dump the body's!" I said.

"I agree. I know a spot."

I would normally question him on that but right now to much was happening at once. Someone survived a broken neck and several gunshots. They looked so sick. What kind of drug caused this?

It was soon night, Collin and I had been waiting at a concrete mixing spot for several hours. Once the workers left he powered on the machine and I had to drag the smelly, bloody dead body through gravel and tbrough them in the mixer.

"I say we leave town man." Said Collin.

"Leave town? Are you serious?" I responded.

"Yeah, if we leave now, we have a chance."

"Im sorry, but I am not leaving." I told him.

"Thats fine, it is your mistake man." He told me as he got in his car and drove off.

I didn't know where he was going. What I did know is, I didn't have a ride.

I began walking home and through alleys and contruction sites. Than, I saw this man being tackled when I was almost home. He was my neighbor Demarcus.

I ran over and pushed the guy that tackled him. I helped Demarcus up, the guy attacking Demarcus had a knife in his chest.

Demarcus pulled out the knife and stabbed him in the head.

"Let's get inside, it isn't safe here." He said.

"Sure, lets go to my place." I told him.

We ran into my house and locked the doors.

"Look, I dont have much time so listen up." Demarcus said.

"These walking corpses arent people, they are the living dead. Who ever was there before isnt there anymore. When you see them, kill them or run. Only strike the brain-"

"But" I interrupted.

"Sshh I haven't much time. I am bit. They spread there deseise through bite, once your bit and turn it's too late." He through up and fell on his knees.

"Are you okay?"

"No, I am dead. I just hope what I told you helps you live, its too late for me." He said as he pulled out a small pistol and shot himself in the head.

What the hell is going on?!
