The Hood Runners

PROLOGUE

In the year 2115, everything was in turmoil. Our government had failed us , several wars back to back causing the earth as we knew it to fall to its knee's. Civilization was almost over and the streets were flooded with what we called crawlers.

They were once human beings, like you and me but now they are empty, shallow heartless creatures running amongst us destroying everything in their path.

My name is Evan, but you can call me E.j. I'm the leader of a five person squad of youth, as far as we know we're the only ones left.

My second in command, Richard is a 13 year old Hispanic dude. He says he's from Virginia or something, I don't know. Kids got heart though, I've yet to see him run from a crawler and I've known him for well over 3 years now. Then there's Sparky, he's the eldest but not so bright.

Sparks was the last to join us, but he knows his way around guns. Cam is the one I've known the longest, he was with me when I got separated from my family. We both lost alot that year, he had no family left after the draft from World War 7 so I guess we just became our own little family. Last but not least theres Jessie.

Jess is amazing, we are about the same age and she is one one of the fastest people I know. Jess has single-handedly taken out 19 crawlers. No weapons needed either and tha my friend is not an easy thang to do.

Thangs werent always like this though, about five years ago thangs were pretty peaceful. The sky was still blue and the clouds weren'training acid, the water wasnt poisonous, and the night didnt bring forth ravenous beasts that fed on our flesh. Now everythings all fucked up buildings reduced to ruble or craters, ars and trucks abandoned in the street, none of the tree's even produced food anymore. Lets just say the planet is now a wasteland overrun by idiotic creatures who dont get full or tired.
