The Apocalypse: The First Year

Lost And Found

"We're not gonna find them before sundown." I say as we continue to walk through the woods. I mean how big can these woods be?

"She's right." Ashley agrees.

"I don't think it matters." Carmen says stopping in her tracks. We all turn to see what she's looking at.

Ugh!

More walkers.

"Fuck!" Glen yells out in frustration as he takes his gun off his clip and loads it.

"Don't these things ever get full?" I ask as I do the same.

"Probably not." Ashley answers my rhetorical question and when I glance at her she smiles.

"Could you two stop making googly eyes at each other while we're about to be ambushed by walkers." Glen says.

"Glen!" I shriek. I was so not making googly eyes with her just now.

"Glen, leave your sister alone." Carmen scolds him.

"I'm just saying." Glen shrugs.

"Don't be a douche, Glen."

"I'm not though baby sis I'm just-"

"Oh don't you baby sis me right now mister."

"Did you just mister me?"

"Um guys..." Ashley says.

"What?!" Glen and I both turn to her and say.

"Zombies." She says nodding in their direction.

Oh right.

"Run!" Glen says. Like that needed to be said. The zombies made up a lot of ground during me and Glen's little argument. We all take off running and realize we're running straight for a small town. We randomly pick a house and have to push extra hard to get inside the front door. It literally took all four of us. When we get inside we realize there was a piano blocking the door.

"Someone's in here." I whisper.

"Yeah we gathered that, Spencer." Carmen whispers back.

"Well." I shrug.

"How do you wanna handle this?" Ashley asks Carmen.

"Push that back Spencer and Glen." Carmen tells us, pointing at the piano we just moved from in front of the door. "Ashley you loaded?" Carmen turns to Ashley who nods and readies her bow.

"What do we do?" Glen asks.

"Stay here, if anyone comes from back there, yell. We're gonna check upstairs." Carmen tells us. Glen and I both nod.

"Who do you thinks in here?" I turn and ask Glen as Ashley and Carmen ascend the stairs.

"How am I supposed to know?" Glen asks with a shrug.

"I'm gonna punch you in the face." I tell him with a smile.

"I'd like to see you try." Glen retorts.

"Shut up." I punch him in the shoulder.

"Ow." He whispers and rubs his shoulder. "You're gonna pay for that." He adds.

"Nope." I shake my head and back up from him.

"Yup." He smiles and nods and starts to chase me around the living room.

"This is you two standing guard?" Carmen asks as her and Ashley come down the stairs.

"It was his/her fault!" Glen and I say at the same time, pointing to each other.
