Your POV
—————
You wake up at 11:00 AM on a warm sunny Wednesday. You lay in your warm, soft, comforting bed and blink a few times adjusting to the sudden warm light. You think great another Wednesday. Little did you know this was NOT another Wednesday. You finally get out of bed and drag your feet to the bathroom. You pee and brush your teeth. You then head down the stairs into the kitchen to see your mom cooking. You are 19 so you still live with her. Your dad passed away from suicide a couple years back. So it was just you and her. "Morning sweetie" your mom says with a smile. "Morning" you say with a raspy voice causing you to cough trying to clear it.

You plop onto your old couch and click the tv on. You start flipping through channels when you skip past the news. It catches your eye so you flip back. "Well everyone this is possibly the end of the world." "We are not sure what is happening but be prepared for the worst and good luck" then there was a screeching noise and a weird monster attacks the man and the broadcasting is ended to the sounds of his screams.

You shot up. " Mom" she doesn't reply. "MOM" you turn around to see one of those monsters burst through your front door. Your mom looks at you petrified. "Mom, back up slowly towards me" you say with a shaky quite voice. She looks at you and smiles and says "I love you honey, you were the best thing that ever happened to me" and with that she gets tackled by the creature. You scream. "RUN" she yells. You stand in shock with tears streaming down your face as you see this creature eating her alive.

You quickly run to the back door and run. You run and you see people running down the street. You see a few creatures running after people. You keep running until you reach a house that looks empty. You run inside and slam the door and lock it. You have no idea who's it is. You walk away from the door slowly so that if anything or anyone was hear they wouldn't hear you even though you just slammed the door. You look on the wall of the hallway and see a family picture. It was a mom, a dad, and two little kids. One a boy and one a girl. They looked around 7. You didn't recognize them.

You keep walking until you reach the living room and kitchen. You don't see anyone and with that you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding. You slowly creep up the steps holding tightly on the railing as you make your way up. You reach the top and look down the hallway both ways like if you were about to cross the street. You decided to go to the right side. You start walking and come across two rooms. You open the first door to be greeted with an empty bathroom. You sigh. You make your way to the other door and open it to see a little girls bedroom. The walls are a light pink. There is a bed with a head board in the shape of a castle. You smile at how cute the room is.

You walk out and walk to the left side of the hallway. You see a door witch is slightly open. You open the door slowly while holding your breath. You see a little boys room. You look at the middle of the room and your heart stops. You see a little boy dead in the middle of his toys with bite marks all over. You gasp and bring your hand up to your mouth. You stop in your tracks. You feel a tear slide down your cheek. You look up to see the window shattered.

You run out of the room and down the steps. You run back into the kitchen and open the cupboards. You raid the house for any food and water. You grab a bag and begin filling it up. You look through the parents closet and find a pair of sweats and a sweatshirt. You put them on and grab a few more clothes for later something in the back of the closet catches your attention. You move the clothes from the rack over to see a gun. It was a rifle. You quickly grab it and head down the steps. You search the draws and find a flashlight and some bullets for the gun. With that you decide to head out to find a new place where you weren't reminded a little boy got eaten. You open the door and head out with the back pack on your back and rifle in hand.

You start walking constantly checking behind and around you. You see the sun start setting. You don't want to be out here at night so you start looking for a house. You recognize the neighborhood as Pine Crest. It's a very wealthy neighborhood. You spot a pretty modern house and decide to step in. You do a quick search of the house. When you find out it's empty you make the decision that this will be home base. Down town isn't too far from here if I needed anything so this should do. You enter a bedroom with a queen sized bed. You flop onto it. You start thinking about what the hell happened. Just yesterday you were watching YouTube and laughing at thinks on Twitter. Yesterday your mom was alive and you were laughing together about how dumb this new Netflix show was. You start to tear up and after that start to sob. You start to doze off after crying for what seemed forever. You finally fall asleep.
