They're coming. I can hear them. I have two choices. Fight through them or jump. Both decisions could be fatal. Its life or possible death. All decisions seem to be this way ever since The Start. I can hear the rustling of the leaves and I can see the first Infected as it comes into view. Its a horrendous sight, one which still to this day gives me nightmares. There's blood pouring out of the gaping hole in its left cheek, hinting that it had just fed. On what I prefer not to think about it. What's left of the skin is like rubber, stretchy and a dull gray under the light of the day. Its bones protrude from the skin like the twigs from the ground. They aren't any color you would expect, because they are as black as the deepest night. The Illness does that to them. Unless someone out there can find a cure, we're all doomed to the same horrible fate. The Illness is a terrible disease that was unknown. It turns your bones black slowly and at the same time filling them with an unknown substance the color of rotten flesh. The goo makes them heavy, heavier than cement. They become fragile, ever more so than a raw spagetti noodle. Its hard to move when you are filled to the brim with poison. Always keep moving, that's our motto. Keep moving, keep your faith. Its all that's left to do when humanity is lost.

*THE UNEDITED VERSION* Beware of typos, errors, and general mistakes. This is a very, very rough draft. "I live in a place called Compound 4. We are one of ten different compounds placed at strategic locations around the US. It's been thirteen years since the virus overtook humanity, turning about ninety percent of us into zombies. I'm not sure how it started exactly; that's classified information. I do know that in order to save what was left of the human race, the president at the time took a bunch of really smart people and kids and relocated them into new 'protected' cities. My father was one of those really smart people. I was only five at the time, but I knew what was happening." Within the walls of the compound, Jay makes stupid mistakes, mistakes even she doesn't understand, putting everyone inside at risk. All because she can't shoot someone. All because she misses the wind in her hair, the flowers on the hillsides, the sound of crickets at night. All because she's different, the only person untouchable by the Virus. When the mistakes begin to duplicate, and a girl shows up who knows her name, everything begins to change in Compound 4. Highest rank in Science Fiction: #9
