Its Basically the End of the World

Lock Down

There was a widespread panic. It was a slow and steady panic. The students and teachers at first did not believe what they heard was true. They all laughed at the news reporter for coming up with such "lies" and "Jokes. Nobody was scared that this could be a real possibility.

Over the loudspeaker Principal Collard was shouting to retreat to the safety of the classrooms. "Everyone this is not a drill" she shouted. 

Even after the fact that the Principal announced this was not a drill, nobody would move an inch. They just sat there in pure disbelief. All they could think about was how zombies are not  real and are only in the movie world. 

Everyone was calm,cool and collected. They were handling the situation maturely.Tim on the other hand was panicking. He was thinking to himself that if this is true he'll never get to see his parents ever again. He might not even make it out of the school to kiss them one last goodbye.

There was this loud moaning sound coming from the big glass window in the Cafeteria.

Everyone drew their attention to the window and all they saw was a jagged tooth, half broken skull, demonic like thing at the window. 

Everyone started screaming and yelling. At that point in time there was no real danger because the zombie was on the other side of the glass. Tim looked at the zombie in shock. He stood there shook. 

Tim started to call his parents. Luckily his mom picked up the phone. 

"What do you want" says his mother half sleep still.

 "Mom look at the news right now"  says Tim in a panicked voice.

 "What is wrong?" questions his mother.

 "There is a real life zombie outbreak right now, I need you to come and pick me up" says Tim.

"Stop being so dramatic, is that kid Jake bullying you again?" Asks Tim's mother.

"Mom this is not about Jake, I am serious about the zombie" Tim says.

"Tim I've told you about those scary movies that you watch, now go back to class we'll talk later"

"Mom please listen" Begs Tim.

The phone cuts off as the call ends. Tim sitting there not knowing what to do frantically looks for a teacher to talk to. Little did Tim know, while he was on the phone talking to his mother all of the other kids had already left the cafeteria. Now Tim is sitting there all alone with a zombie to the next of him. 

Now Tim could have easily walked out the cafeteria and went with everyone else, but knowing that Tim is a regular teenager who questions things he pokes the glass. He taps on it four times. The zombie replies in a low moan which takes Tim by surprise. 

Something in the bushes starts to move around while Tim is recovering from his shock. About a minute later another zombie pops his head out of the bushes. Unlike the other one though, this one made a sprint for the glass. It took a couple of seconds for the first zombie to realize what he was doing. Then in unison both of the zombies desperately try to break down the glass. 

Tim once again decides to stay put and watch. Five minutes go by and the glass pane actually starts to break and crack.

"Oh shit" says Tim.

The sound of glass breaking fills the entire cafeteria with sound. Tim makes a mad dash towards the door realizing that the zombies had finally broke in.

'' Help,help me" screams Tim.

He tries all of the doors but they are all locked because of the lock down. Nobody wants to let Tim in their class in fear of the zombies coming into their class. Tim turns down the Hallway and sees the Exit doors. He runs for his life towards the door but in front of him is a zombie. Tim tries to turn back around but the second zombie is behind him. Both of them slowly move in to get the kill on Tim. 

"Why me" says Tim in a state of despair.

Tim remembers that he got a pocket knife from his uncle for his 14th birthday.He looks around in his pocket and cannot find it.

"Where did it go?"

At that moment Tim remembered  hat his mom took it away from him  a week ago because he almost killed their cat. That day he told his mom that it was not his fault that the cat got in the way of him practicing his throwing skills. 

Another voice comes from down the hall. It was the school officer Ronald. Ronald had a doughnut in his hand and a gun in the other. 

"Stay away from that kid" he shouted. 

Both of the zombies must of smelt the doughnut and rushed towards him instead. Maybe Ronald would had have a chance if he had dropped the doughnut, but instead he kept eating. 

"You better stop" he yelled.

The zombies jumped on Ronald and murdered him in cold blood.

Tim starts to cry due to the loss of Ronald. He realizes that he needs to run to safety and starts to sprint to the exit. Tears down his face as he enters the open world scared for himself and his family.
