THE LURKING DEAD

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE

I walked closer to the officers and one grabbed me. A big officer slammed me against the cop car to check me for weapons.

After the police finished checking me for weapons, they handcuffed me, and shoved me into a cop car that just pulled up.

The officer seemed to take off immediately. He didn't floor it but didn't go as slow as possible either.

"I am taking you across town to put you in the county jail for now" the officer said.

This officer was an older man. His hair was completely white and his skin was wrinkly.

I sighed. "Okay." I looked out the window feeling completely awful about what had just happened.

"So, you didn't do it?" He asked.

"Didn't do what?" I replied.

"You didn't just kill those two people."

"What the hell are you talking about? Yes I did do it! That is kind of a stupid question!" I replied, annoyed.

"I bring that up because that's what they all say. "Why did you go and kill those two people?"

"Whats it to you?" I asked.

"Let me guess, the two of them were having sex and you walked in. You became pissed and shot the both of them.

I sighed.

"Well aren't you a good husband" the old cop said sarcastically.

"Shut the hell up!" I yelled "I loved my wife a lot! And I don't need an old wise piece of shit to tell me otherwise!" I yelled sarcastically, except for the part about my wife.

There was a brief silence and finally the old cop broke the silence.

"Sorry... Hey wanna hear a funny story of a man that committed a crime and said he didn't do it?"

Just then the radio came on with another officer's voice on it.

"All officers report downtown NOW!"

The older cop was silent for a minute. During that time, I looked outside and saw six cop cars going from where I had just came from at top speed.

"What's going on?" I asked nervously.

I looked out the window again and saw some helicopters and national guard vehicles rushing to get downtown.

"Not sure, it's probably just a stupid drill." He said.

The radio started to make more noise. Just before anyone started to talk, the old officer reached over and turned it off.

"There." He said. " I am occupied anyway."

Are you sure everything is alright?"

"YES!" He replied "Everything is just fine."

"Bull shit." I said under my breath.

"Ha well I have a good story for you! Wanna hear it?" He said looking at me from his mirror.

Just then I saw a person standing in the middle of the freeway.

"WATCH OUT!!" I yelled.

The cop swerved off the freeway and rolled the car.

I began to panic. Just before I could realize what was happening, I hit something and passed out.

When I regained consciousness, the cop car was on it's side. I noticed that my leg hurt very badly but I knew that it wasn't broken.

"Oh, god my leg." I cried.

My leg was pinned against the car door and the seat. I managed to pull out my leg. The pain was awful but not quite unbearable.

"Ouch... Shit." I cried.

After a few minutes setting down, I felt prompted to get out of the vehicle. I looked for a possible exit. Above me was a window.

"I guess I'll just have to bust out this window." I thought.

I used my feet to bust open the window that was facing up. This was very hard for me to do because my leg hurt.

After much kicking, I finally broke the glass window.

I shifted my body around. I grabbed hold of the window and pulled myself out.

After many attempts, I Finally made it out of the car. Then I slid off the cop car and onto my feet.

"Shit!" I said, bending down to embrace my leg.

I looked around. Trees were everywhere. My hands were still in handcuffs.

"I wish I knew how to get these things off." I said, tugging at the handcuffs.

"Hm mm. Maybe that officer has the keys, but where is he?" I said to myself

I looked around for any sign of the old officer. Then I saw him laying face down on the ground about twenty feet away from the car. There was a trail of blood coming from him.

"Officer? Are you okay?" I asked.

There was no response.

"Maybe the keys are still on his belt." I thought, limping over to the officer.

I looked at the officer. He looked like he had been there for quite a while. My eyes scanned the officer for any sign of the keys. Then I found them latched to his belt. I unlatched then and unlocked the handcuffs.

"Awe that's much better!" I said proudly and feeling my free wrists.

Just then, the officer started moving.

"Officer, are you alive? I asked nervously.

The officer looked at me. Suddenly he started attacking me.

" AH!!" I yelled

I backed up. When I was backing up, a root of a tree tripped me.

" OH SHIT!" I cried.

The undead cop was coming at me. Luckily his legs were broken and was unable to walk on them. He scooted his way towards me. I looked around for some help. I found a shotgun and a shell laying next to me. I grabbed the shotgun and the last shell. I loaded the gun as fast as I possibly could.

"Come on.. Please Come on!" I hurriedly said to myself and the gun.

The undead cop was getting closer and closer. I finally managed to get the shotgun loaded properly.

"Finally!!" I said in excitement. "OFFICER, THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING"

I shot the gun at the undead cop and he died.

"Phew, what the hell was that thing?"

I looked around. I was in a forest area that wasn't far from civilization. In front of me a ways was a hill. I could barely make out a fence. Then I saw somebody.

"HEY!" I yelled at the mysterious person. " GO GET HELP!"

The mysterious person seemed to have turned around and walked off. Suddenly I began to hear weird moaning sounds.

"Whoa..."

I saw a lot of undead people coming towards me. They looked very ugly and they smelled awful.

"Shit..." I said nervously.

I stood up on my feet and walked as fast as I could to get away from the moving corpses. My leg seemed to scream in pain.

"Ouch! My leg!" I cried.

I made my way up the hill. There I found a wood fence. The undead people were right behind me and almost in arms reach.

"I have to jump this fence!" I said, unaware of other options.

I jumped the fence. It seemed to be very hard because of my leg. Once it was over, I knew I was safe in the back yard of the house.
