my anxiety was at a all time high and i was panicking. i was crying and pacing back and forth trying to calm my self down. funny enough before all this shit hit the fan i had just ran out of my meds and needed to go get a refill.

this outbreak happened a week ago and in these short seven days this—this virus has wreaked havoc on all of us in such a small time span.

a virus that turned us in to monsters—zombies.

as i paced—panicked and scared i started getting detailed flashbacks including the one of when all this happened.

i was at home with my brother when it began, my mother and father being at work.

i was sitting on the couch watching black ink crew chicago. it's odd because i never really watched reality tv but the episode playing was interesting. so i watched while sipping on my caprisun when the emergency broadcast system came on.

"we bring you this message to tell you that a highly contagious virus is infecting everyone who comes in contact with it turning them in to  rabid cannibalistic monsters who crave human flesh and brains—zombies. we hope you heed our warning and stay indoors—boarding up all doors and windows.

florida's tactical forces will be around to exterminate this issue and give food and water to those in needs. i once again heed you to stay indoors. these...walkers are dangerous, some being reportedly able to run up to 15 miles per hour.
stay safe folks. may god bless and have mercy on your souls."

i was already full panic, my chest was hurting and i was on the carpeted floor breathing rapidly while crying.

my brother must've heard me fall and came running up front to check on me. jahlil was 16 years old while i was 19 but it always seemed like he was the older one—always looking after me and such.

through sobs and staggered breaths i explained the emergency broadcast. i could see the terror on his face and i knew he was scared. but my brother was the total opposite of me. he was always calm and collected while there was me—anxious and skittish. so he composed himself, taking a deep breath and began to speak.

"shhh calm down y/n. it'll be alright, mom and dad has always prepared us for stuff like this. i'm going to go get the wood from the basement and start boarding up the house like they said. when you feel up to it come help okay?" he said his smooth melodic voice ran through my head, his hands through my hair making my scalp tingle as he held me in his chest.

jahlil has always been able to calm me down no matter what. his voice was always just so soothing and small, something about his voice will always make you feel like things will be alright...even if it won't.

catching my breath while sniffling i gave a simple "okay" in response—my voice being quite and raspy.

still holding me he placed me on the couch and had gotten to work. he was right of course, everything would be fine. our parents had prepared us for things like this.
they were preppers—no not the crazy kind who wore tin foil on their head waiting for aliens to attack type preppers.

but they always believed anything such as mass natural disasters,an invasion from another country, and things similar to the zombie apocalypse could happened and if and when it did happened they wanted us to be ready.

our mom and dad always taught us survival tips just in case the world went to shit while we were alive. making me and my brother be in boy scouts—yes they forced the boy scouts to accept me, placing us in kenjutsu and self defense classes making us train rigorously on a constant basis.

we both took online classes just incase any disaster took place during school hours we were already home.

just precautions like those our parents took would give us an advantage we hopefully wouldn't have to use seeing that the u.s. tactical team is supposed to come through and  exterminate these monsters and neutralize the virus.

my breathing now calm i followed the hammering sound to the back of the house to see jahlil boarding up the back door.

he turned to see me and gave me a small smile.

"hey.. i see you feel better now. if you don't mind could you go board up the front, i just gotta board up this door and i'll come up front to help then we'll go upstairs and board up there too." he said all while smiling.

one thing i always envied jahlil about is that he always smiled...even when the world was completely shit.

we boarded up all the windows and made a door bar to go across the door instead of fully boarding it up till mom and dad came home.

after hours of waiting mom and dad were home and were happy to see us alive. we all finished boarding up the window upstairs and whatever else needed covering.

we gathered our supplies from the basement in packing bags incase we needed to leave filling them with rations,water,flashlights and other essentials to survive.

we sat and talked (quietly) with one another until sunset.it was like nothing even happened, our family carried on per usual.

it wasn't until nightfall while we were eating that realization set in. we heard the moaning and groaning of the walkers passing by. people running,screaming,scared for their lives. the sound of the people's skulls being cracked opened—brains being eaten.

what put the icing on the cake though is when we thought we were being rescued.

we had heard the sound of the helicopters flying by. our father hurried us to grab our bags and rush to the top of our roof.

we stood on top yelling for them to come and get us but they just flew by.

later while listening to the radio we learned that it was too many of those...things in the city to just move in and open fire— they'd have to completely bomb the place casualties be damned.

we planned to move out in the morning around seven and that what leads me to this point and time where i'm at now.

panicked and crying, my family laying dead in front of me, a herd of twenty walkers banging on my front door as it began to give with only one escape route being the cellar door.

but somethings down there.
