The book of bad luck #Wattys2015

chapter 3

It had been a couple of weeks since we'd met our counterparts. I have a girlfriend so do my mates. If you're wondering why we'd been in here so long just ask. There is no way to escape. We had to make our own. How do we know ? We scanned ,mapped , every single corner or curve of this fortress of doom and there was still nothing. We needed resources if we wanted to get out. We didn't have any. Some of the other group had gone insane... We lost good people.

But we were still here (unfortunately)

Our base was about as big as you could get it. Yeah that's what we used our resources on. But we needed it and to be honest. I kinda liked it here. We had everything we needed , animals ventured our way from time to time, we had survived. Before this my life was boring and now I have a purpose to live. To live with each other and for each other..

The year now was 2020 the outside world had evolved to its full extent (thanks to us) but unfortunately so had the monster living in this place with us , they are smarter now , when we infiltrated some of there bases, it, it looked like they were planning the same as us ,planning how to get out, out of this godforsaken hell hole. The next morning was somewhat cheerful, me, my brother , and Joey , doing the daily run searching for the creatures other than us that roamed this base. We searched for years looking for a way out but we could not find one. I have a theory for that, we didn't want to find one (of course we wanted to see our other friends , and our mum again. But we kept the world safe and we wanna carry on doing that ,but there's one thing that's always on my mind... Where do they keep coming from? Surely we must have cleared the whole base out over the time period of ten years so someone must have been letting them in.. Maybe we were part of a test... Nah that's rubbish , no one expensive knows we are in here. However, that thought got me thinking even more... Is it a test? A trial perhaps, I don't see any reason why there would be. These things just make me want to cry so why would you want to put someone through that? Every night I sleep I can see them, in my nightmares, watching me and my friends. Waiting for one of us to mess it all up.

It was six in the morning ,and I was doing my morning run around the base when I came across something unusual, very unusual. A mobile phone , and it certainly wasn't one of the zombies. Someone else had found their way in. But it was impossible, we fortified this place to the maximum limit. That's when I came across him. It was my dad...

Now this guy I've not seen since I was two so you could probably imagine how annoyed I was with him, so I brought him back to the base and conferred with my brother, "get rid of him" said Joey in the distance. My brother turned around and said "no, me and my brother have decided he needs to prove himself for a place here" and he did just that. He disposed of three tanks, two stealthies, and four runners, with nothing but a pistol and a knife. This was not his first rodeo I can tell you that. It turns out it was him... My dad was a multi millionaire, he was the one who produces these flesh-eating abominations, it was him who blocked the exit and stopped us from getting out of here...
