It was just like any other night, my friends and I were smoking the devils lettuce at the cemetery by my house. You may be wondering why a cemetery instead of my house, well we used to go and smoke there before turning my garage into a drug den, so think of it as a trip down memory lane. We were all sitting around passing my dragon bowl while Marie shook as if she had created her own personal earthquake from being so cold. Even though it was late February mother nature decided that it would shake the seasons up and keep it winter even as it was approaching spring. I took off my hoodie and handed it to her to try and keep her trembles at bay. She gladly accepted it from me and quickly put it on. Marie is a pretty girl, she never wears makeup, has dark brown long curly hair, is more so on the curvy side, and totals in at a whopping 5'2 in height. I handed the bowl over to Skylar and she took a hit bigger than she could handle leading her to spew smoke out of all her orifices almost like you would see a cartoon character doing when they're angry. Skylar is a fan of makeup but it's a rarity that she actually wears it. She normally only pulls out the good ole' beauty blender on a special occasion. She has long dyed red hair with emo swooping bangs, she like Marie and I is also curvaceous and is even shorter than Marie standing at a total of 5'1. As for me my name is Ophelia. I have shoulder length brown hair that ombres into purple, I have big blue eyes, and me being the giant of my friends puts me at a solid 5'7 in height. Being the tallest is fine with me, it makes me feel more needed when Skylar and Marie ask me to get stuff for them because they're too short. At this point it was my turn to smoke and right as Marie was about to pass me my beautiful baby of a bowl we heard a snap. We are in a cemetery so it makes sense we'd hear some disturbing noises and there are in fact animals that live here but of course that's not how we processed the sound. The first things that start exiting our mouths is Jason, Freddy, Ghost face, demons, ghouls, goblins, it instantly caused a panic between us because of the horror movie rules we had currently been breaking because of all our teenage antics. I knew our lives would end this way, I even called the fact that we were now actually starring in our own scary movie. We laughed as I told my friends the first to die wouldn't be me and that it would most certainly be Marie because she'd let it take her rather than having to run to save her own life.

Once we had finished the last of our bowl and had thoroughly scared the piss out of each other with all the different types of entities that could kill us, we packed up and decided it was time to head back to my house. As we were walking towards Skylar's car I decided to egg on the spooky vibe just a little bit harder by saying, " It was just another night for these three stoners when all of a sudden the dead began to rise from their graves. Dun, Dun, Dun!" Marie and Skylar just looked at me and rolled their eyes to show me that they were done with my shit completely, but how could I not take the opportunity it was the perfect setting. Evidently I should have kept my mouth shut as it seems the joking about this invoked rage upon the horror gods because the ground began to shake and quake just like Marie earlier. We all ran the rest of the way to Skylar's car and jumped in as fast as we could. I looked at Marie and Skylar before I opened my mouth to say, "Okay I get this looks bad but this is not my fault, how was I supposed to know saying that would cause the end of the world!" They simply dead pan stared at me while I sat there bouncing up and down from the world crumbling around us with the biggest most crooked smile on my face. Skylar and Marie just looked at each other before Marie's eyes began to slowly pop out of her head," HOLY SHIT YOU DID CAUSE THE APOCALYPSE THE DEAD ARE RISING FROM THE GRAVE!" Suddenly there was a loud crack almost as if lightning had struck right behind us. I looked out the back window to see the cement crumbling around us. "Um guys, I don't think we're simply going to get to drive out of this situation, Marie I know you're not going to like this but I don't want you to die so it's time to run." We all opened our doors on the count of three and jumped out making a quick B-line to the exit of the cemetery, only problem is the dead can easily leave it because there is literally no fences to keep them in. They really didn't think about the possibility of a zombie apocalypse when they made this place. Thankfully most of the dead still weren't completely out of their graves so we just had to be careful not to get caught by wondering hands. Almost as if the universe heard my thoughts and decided to kick the difficulty level up a notch one of these rotting son of a bitches grabs onto Marie's ankle making her fall to the ground. She started to panic as it was getting closer to biting her ankle. I grabbed the nearest stick I could find and quickly thrust the tree branch into it's melted like head. That's when I saw a zombie had fully gotten out of it's grave and had tackled Skylar. I lifted Marie up and started running toward Skylar throwing the rotting corpse off of her with all the force I could manage. Marie came from behind me screaming and holding a pin wheel from one of the graves stabbing it into the zombies head. We both helped Skylar up finishing the run out of the cemetery and successfully jumping the ditch that separated the cemetery from the main road. I honestly didn't realize how much adrenaline we all had flowing through us until we got to back to my house and all the pain from sprinting the entire way caught up with us.
