Sunny skies, some days were cloudy, but for the most part, the whole month of July seemed to be happy, vacation filled, and perfect. But then, the first day of August approached, and that's when kids realized that school was about to start up again.
There were pros and cons though.
The positive side, there comes a sudden zombie apocalypse, the negative side, a zombie apocalypse.
Yeah, pretty good, right?
Wrong.
Totally wrong.
Wrong like 'drown yourself it's so bad' wrong.
A freaking zombie apocalypse!
Certainly they could trust that those in power ultimately had the best interests of the people in mind, right?

Luna slouched low in her seat, staring at droplets of water that ran diagonally down the window of the bus. The sky was a flat, depressing grey and the incessant, soaking rain left her constantly chilled. It was a typical "liquid sunshine" day in the Pacific Northwest.
They drove past a single tall scraggly tree on top of a hill shrouded in mist. The creepy tree was full of screaming crows. How could she hear them from inside the bus when she couldn't even seem to hear the voices of the kids around her? Geez, that was an awfully freaking dark image. She shivered and looked away. What did they call a group of crows again? Right, a murder of crows. Perfect.
The weather was certainly the only thing that was typical these days, although you'd never know it by looking around the bus at most of the kids as they sat joking and gossiping with each other just like they had before... before that day everything had changed. Idiots.
