We were all sleeping it had to be close to two in the morning and everything was going good. Everyone was awoken by a loud bang around two fifteen. We trapped our boots and ran outside. Dad saw everyone was there. We all looked toward the east side of the property and heard fighting.

Peter's dad ran to the fence and grabbed the ladder near it. "Fuck!" He yelled. The dead were attacking some animals and throwing them next to the fence, stacking them even! This was scary! We all grabbed ladders and started shooting them. Honey and mom reloaded our clips as they were emptied.

Peter was shooting some when one jumped up towards him. "Damn it!" Peter yelled. It almost got him, his dad shot the jumper. Well this isn't a movie cause they got it all wrong. Runners, jumpers, and thinking zombies were never in any movie I ever saw.

Jake, Georgia's dad was shooting when he was bit by a jumper. I shot it and her dad fell on the outside of the wall. Georgia went into hysterics. Her mom dragged her away. Honey went to help them. Jake shot himself in the head. I watched as Peter's dad punched one that jumped at him.

Good thing that they were all dead at this point. Dad looked at me and said get razor wire. Saw blades are needed too. We all went back to the cabins and sat around as we all couldn't go back to sleep.

Honey woke me around seven and said breakfast was ready. We ate and got ready to go on a run for the needed items. Honey kissed me as I was leaving to get Peter. Peter was walking down his steps as I walked out. We headed to dad's truck for the run.

Georgia headed over to Honey's and my house as we headed to the gate. We left through the gate and watched it close. We headed to the city and hoped we would be quick. Peter was watching ahead. I asked him how his married life was going and he just grinned.

I vowed to pick up pregnancy tests and a few other needed items. Mom needed some sugar water because she was hypoglycemic. I was looking at Peter when he said, " Oh fuck!" There was a huge amount of zombies ahead of us. I stopped and turned around quickly.

Peter was watching the horde as I sped away. He watched as they got smaller and smaller.
I turned down a side road and Peter checked the map. He told me to turn left at next intersection. I did and it was a straight shot from there.

Meanwhile back at the cabins. Everyone was checking the fence to see if there was any repairs needed. Mom found an area that looked like something or someone was digging at. Dad checked it and started filling it in again and he placed nails, tacks, and other sharp objects to keep whatever it was from digging.

Patty was cooking lunch for everyone. Harry was watching the gate. Marcus was playing with my old Legos. Tawny was helping Patty with lunch. Peter's mom was sitting in the living room and looking at photos.

In the truck. Peter was watching ahead again when he pointed out a lumber store. I parked close to the doors and we jumped out and knocked on the door to see if anything was in there. We watched as two came out of hiding. I shot one and Peter got the other one.

We started grabbing everything on dad's list. Barbed wire and lots of other things. After we loaded up everything, we headed for a pharmacy. Peter spotted one so we stopped again and banged on the door.

We saw 12 in there and I took my silenced pistol in and Peter got his. We started shooting them and they lay dead for real this time. I quickly started gathering medicine and other first aid items. Including the pregnancy tests. We then got behind the counter and took everything in there.

We finished loading up the truck and got in again. We had just pulled out onto the road when we saw zombies chasing a motorcycle. We tried to find where it was headed, but lost him or her quickly. We decided to head home. The drive home was uneventful.

We arrived safely and started unloading the truck. Dad was impressed we got everything and more that he wanted. The medical supplies went in dad's place. Honey came out and I handed her the women's products.

She divided everything between the women who needed said products. Boy were they happy to get them. I kept the pregnancy tests to myself. I put them in my drawer. Patty hollered that lunch was ready. We all headed there. Next was putting barbed wire on the fence around the whole property.

As we all ate and made plans for the fence, we heard a commotion at the gate. All of us men grabbed our guns and ran out. We walked through the trees keeping out of site. We saw the motorcycle from earlier. I walked out into the open and called out to him. Yes it was a guy.

He stood by his bike holding his helmet. He said, "Hello are you the guy who was at the pharmacy earlier today?" I nodded and said yes.
