The man looks at you in shock but just replies with "it doesn't matter"

"Why" you ask with innocents in your voice.

"I'm bit" showing a bit on his arm

"Why does that mean your name doesn't matter"

He explains the outbreak and how people change when they die or are bitten and it's spread all across the continent. Apparently the army are doing their best to combat it but they are just adding to the amount that walk the streets.

"I came in here looking for an antidote. Apparently the top scientists where working on it but I guess that was all a lie unless you saw what was going on here through the glass."

"The men tested on me making me feel in pain maybe I have something to do with it" you say

"Anyway it's to far set in now there is only one thing to do. Here take my knife as a way to protect yourself and get out of here. You don't want to see this."

You do as you are told and head up a flight of stairs and out the main door.

You hear a gun shot ring behind you startling you making you bolt in to the woods.

The area you are in is familiar as you walk in the direction of you house. As you arrive you see the place has been looted and you begin to call for you mum and dad.

M-m-m-MUM? DAD?

No answer as you head up the stairs you see a stream of blood from your parents bedroom.

You slowly open the door and see them laying there. They had been shot.

"MUMMY"

"DADDY"

You cry out in pain and see you father clutching the family heirloom. The axe. You begin to drag the large weapon down the stairs and out into the woods.

You look at the blade with it's edge dyed with you fathers blood and it's dark oak handle is smooth and clean

As your tears land on the cold blade it seems to hold good memories of family and caring for others.

You look up at the long, lonely road ahead and you take your first steps alone dragging the large item behind you.
