I sat on my old, worn out sofa. It was a Sunday and had nothing to go out for. I had my dressing gown wrapped around me like a blanket, protecting me from the cold draft that was in the room. I wish i was one of those pretty girls who went to the gym and ate heathy everyday but instead I'm a chubby sponge in a dressing gown...

I was home alone, not something that I wasn't used to as both my parents worked nights. The tv screen lit up with familiar faces as i was intrigued watching the final episode of 'The Bachelor'.

My coffee table in front of me was covered in a variety of snacks, including my favourite, Gummy Bears! My babies.

"Come on ralph. Don't be silly now." I said to myself. I was hoping he would give the rose to Ashley, she understood him better. "OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" I screamed. You guessed it, he gave the rose to Emily. "Stupid little ba-" i stopped myself and threw a gummy bear in anger. I sighed in defeat as it completely missed the TV screen and landed on the wall next to it, the texture causing it to stick to the wall. I stared at it.

"You know, he should have given to rose to Ashley, she understood his feelings better." I froze and slowly turned myself around. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET IN MY HOUSE?" I shouted after i screamed in horror. "You left your back door open." "Tommy, you little shit! Sit here, i haven't finished the episode." He gave me a grin and threw himself on the sofa, almost chucking me into the air in the process. "You should really lock your back door. Who knows who could walk straight in." "Sorry." He smiled and grabbed a handful of the gummy bears. "Hey those are mine!" "Oh really?" He sarcastically replied, shoving them in his mouth.
I playfully poked him in the arm, earning myself a look of disapproval from him.

We were both stopped from our laughter when static rose on the tele. "This an emergency broadcast across all states. People have been infected from an unknown source. Stay indoors. Lock all windows and doors. Do not approach them. If needs be, remove the head or destroy the brain." Me and tommy looked at each other and ran to the window. I was horrified at what i saw. Fires were raging and people started attacking and biting down on each other. I could hear people screaming in pain. "Well there goes my quiet night in." I said after i took a deep breath.

"Come on."
