THE LURKING DEAD

A New Friend

I tried to catch my breath. I couldn't believe what just happened. I walked over to the patio of the house and sat down. I relaxed for about five minutes. I could see an occasional zombie hand appear from the top of the fence.

I heard a couple gunshots fired. The alive courses redirected their attention to the direction of the gunshot.

"Phew. Man, hell finally took over" I said, examining my wound on my leg.

As soon as I calmed down, I noticed my surroundings more clearly. I noticed a tree house. This tree house was made of many 2x4s and looked like it had been up for more than two years. I walked over to it.

"Hello? Is anyone up there?"

There was no answer.

I decided to check out the house.

"Maybe someone is in this house." I thought.

The house was a smaller two story with a small patio.

I walked up to the door and knocked.

"Hello? Anyone in there?" I asked

There was no answer.

"I'm coming in"

I slid open the sliding door door and entered the house.

"I'm not an intruder, I just need some help" I yelled so anyone in the house could hear me.

There was no response.

I looked down at the for and I saw a pool of blood.

"Ewe" I said, disgusted

The kitchen was to the left of the back door. The dining room was to the right.

"I wonder what happened.." I said.

Just then I heard a noise. It startled me. It sounded like static coming from a radio.

"Whoa.. What was that?"

I heard it again. Than a voice. It sounded like it was coming from a walkie talkie in the kitchen.

"Hmm. I wonder where that radio is."

I looked around in the kitchen. Then I heard a voice again. This time I knew what it said.

"The radio is in a drawer in the kitchen" said the voice

The voice sounded like it was from a little girl.

I began looking through some of the drawers. Finally I found the walkie talkie. I pressed the button to speak into it.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hi" said the little girl

"Who are you?" I asked

"My name is Clementine, you can see me just outside the kitchen window in my tree house"

I looked outside the window. I saw the little girl waving at me. I waved back, smiling.

"Are you alone? I asked

" Yes, my parents went to Savanna and left me with a baby sitter."

Just then a zombie came out from no where and started attacking me. It knocked me to the floor. I pushed it and started kicking it's head. Then I scooted toward the back door. Clementine met me there with a hammer.

"Thanks!" I said quickly

I used the hammer and beat the zombie's head. I stood up while the zombie was still on the ground. I continued to smash it until it finally died.
