the apocalypse took the world by surprise, a normal day ruined by an infection that killed you in a couple hours.

THE DAY THE WORLD FELL everything changed permanently, the streets erupted into chaos and the people fought each other yearning for supplies and weaponry, the small things that mattered.
the Jones family scrambled to reach each other and get the hell out of dodge, the youngest, Natalia in hysterics.
"this isn't real!" she sobbed, slowly pulling the straps of her backpack over her shoulders.
Nicole huffed and picked up the newspaper slamming it against her little sisters chest, "don't be so bloody stupid! this is all real! our neighbours are zombies!"
a large smashing noise echoes through the halls of their home followed by the sound of men shouting at each other, "quick run!"
two hands grasp their shoulders and pull them aside moving towards the front door, "dad? where are we going?" the front door comes crashing down and large numbers of zombies begin shuffling inside.
Natalia screams at the top of her lungs tears burning her eyes, "oh my god!" as if the world had begun moving slowly, their neighbour mr Rogers now a zombie latches onto the girls father and takes a giant chunk out of his neck.
"daddy! no!" the two sisters only 17 and 21 turn around and run for the back door, avoiding the undead creatures following them and ignoring the sounds of their father's screaming as hands and teeth tore him apart.
the gently breeze brushed over there flesh as they finally escaped their home, a large full moon sitting up in the sky surrounded by trillions of untouched twinkling stars.
Natalia exhaled heavily her breath visible in front of her face she crossed her arms over her chest regretting the choice of clothing she was currently wearing.
a no good cheap target jacket and a pair of old pants, "we have to go back in there for him! we can't leave dad behind!"
Nicole rolled her eyes and begun walking away, her boots slapping against the concrete "we can't fight off a dozen zombies! are you kidding me? they'll eat us for dessert."
as if she was fighting an inner battle Natalia hesitated before following her big sister eyes flickering to the lit porch of her childhood home, "goodbye daddy."
a little girl screams rushing from a double story home pink shirt stained red, "my mummy and daddy need help!"
the sisters share a glance and rush forward pulling the young girl aside eyes fixated on the open door, "honey you need to stay calm and tell us your name so we can help."
the girl didn't look any older than 12 years old, her beautiful olive skin stained with a mixture of tears and splattered blood "m-my name is Amelia Grace." she stammered through heavy breathing.
"I'm Nicole and this is my little sister Natalia, can you tell us if you were hurt?"
Amelia shook her head "daddy protected me but the zombies they got my mummy! she needs help!" Nicole stares into her pleading eyes grunting quietly.
"stay with Natalia, I'll be right back."
Natalia watched helplessly holding onto the child as her big sister, her best friend runs into the strangers home holding a bloody wooden bat that she picked up along the way.
they both stare at the house waiting to see if any of them make it out, a moment of complete silence drifts around.
"I'm going to go find my sister and your mum and dad, okay? you stay here."
Natalia nervously approaches the house fidgeting with one of the bag straps, as her foot makes contact with the first stop a deafening gun shot goes off and her whole world falls apart.
