apocalypse
year 2028 age 23. my name is elise nothem and this is my story.
it's been 84 days since the virus got lose and spread to humanity. the government tried to help us by putting us in camps but that only made it worse. but 5 months later the virus seeked into the camp turning 90% of the humans into zombies. crazy right. never in my life i would've thought that zombies would've come to life. at the camp they thought is how to defend ourselves and how to survive. i was first in my class. i've kinda known that i was good at it since because of the incident that happened incident years ago. fuck. i need to stop thinking about that. right now i'm trying to find a place to stay for the night.
3 hours later it's about 8:19 pm and i've found a treehouse in the middle of the woods far from the ground. i've settles down and unpacked a little bit. as soon as i lay my head on my backpack slumber takes over me.
i wake up to rustling so i grab my shotgun immediately. i poke my head out and see a human running but with zombies hot on their trail. i yell out to them to climb up the ladder. they jump over a large tree that has fallen and make it to the base of the ladder. they start to climb but their ankle get grabbed. i grabbed my shotgun and shot them dead between the eyes and it falls to the ground. the person makes it to the top into the light and i make eye contact with them and hug the life out of them. "is it really you?!" she shakes her head yes. "what happened to you at the camp?" i asked. "after people started running everywhere i tried to fight some off but then a bomb went off and i got injured. i was carried out by jayden pieers. he took me to another campsite so i could heal. he's a medic but he couldn't save my leg. i had a serious concussion and he amputated my leg. at the new camp he got the materials to but a prothesis to replace my leg." rylee says. "jesus rylee. you could've died." "i know but i had to try to help. to do something." "come here" we hugged for a little longer and went back to sleep.
The next morning i was the first to wake. never thought that would happen with rylee and i. when we were kids she'd always shove it in my face about how i liked to sleep till noon all summer. I shook rylee up a bit and she jolted awake. i told her that it was okay and she calmed down. "hey we gotta get going if we want to eat tonight". We walked for miles till we made it to the borderline of Nevada. I've heard on the radio that if you make your way to area 51 then there's a safe house. I've been going at it for about 1-2 months, the thing is that there are no cars. all gas stations are out and if you drive a car you'll draw attention to yourself because of the motor roar. I saw a couple hundred miles back a town called saint george. i'm probably a few thousand miles to go.
