The infected wasteland

Chapter 1

I wake up as if it's any other day, which it felt like to me. I got out of bed to my empty house. Both my son and spouse, gone because of this tearable disease. I start to get dressed for work today, but I hear a large bang from what sounds like my basement. I think nothing of it at first, assuming it was just my cat chasing a mouse of some sort, but when I turn around I see my cat laying down I'm my chair still. I start to get worried, could one of those maniacs be in my basement? No, I must be hearing things. Maybe one of my old boxes just fell, at least I hope. I have to go past my basement door to get to my door. It wouldn't hurt to check, right?

I finish getting dressed and start to walk towards my door to leave for work. As I pass the basement door I hear something. It sounds like a small child crying. No, I must be hearing things, nobody is downstairs. But, I need to check. I open the door to the basement and look down into the darkness of my basement. With each step, I take the crying gets louder and louder until I reach the floor when it suddenly stops. I grab my cell phone out of my back pocket and turn on the flashlight. He is standing in front of me.

My heart drops to my stomach, he is so close to me, I can feel his hot breath on my face, sending a large chill down my spine making me shudder. His nose is almost touching mine. I can only manage to mutter out three words to him; "Who are you?". He smiles extremely wide at me. He responds in a giddy tone. "It doesn't matter who I am, all that matters is that you are one of us." I feel an arm wrap around me from behind and feel a sharp pain in my neck. I slightly look down to see someone's hand injecting me with a dark red substance. The arm pulls the syringe away and the man in front of me smiles even wider. "Now you are one of us, we can take over this world. By the end, everyone will be purified." My eyes start to fade, everything is going dark, the man's laugh is muffled. I fall over, my head facing to the side and is see a small girl being tied up my a man. Everything finally goes black.

      Suddenly everything is gone I can't see anything but yet I can see my body all my pain in my body is gone. I stand up and look around for anything, in the distance I see a  door, just there I start walking toward it and once I reach the door I look at it for a few minutes, just staring. Imagining the horrors that could be beyond that door. I look around and see nothing but the door, I decide there's no other choice, I open the door and walk inside and lay down without thinking.
