I was breathing hard by the time I felt the hands grabbing me, trying to rip my flesh apart. They pulled me down with their weight. I screamed. I felt them sinking their teeth into my flesh as I screamed louder, not caring if more came, as I was already going to die. I suddenly felt them being pulled off me. I sat up and saw man killing the zombies that were just piling on me. As the man turned around I noticed that he looked like he couldn't be much older than me, maybe 21. He had blood all over him but I don't imagine I look any better. He walked over to me and stuck out his hand to help me up. I took him up on his offer. After I stood up I noticed how many zombies truly were after me, there were maybe 10 or 12 bodies laying on the ground. I looked at the man and suddenly realized that I was bit and if he didn't leave soon I could end up attacking him, though I doubt that he will have any problems with being able to protect himself. "You need to leave. I don't want to hurt you." He just laughed at that and came closer to me inspecting my arms that looked horrible with bite marks all over them. All of the sudden I felt really dizzy, next thing I know is I'm on the ground. That's when the seizures hit My name is Ireland, and I've been living as a zombie for 9 months now. This is how I turned and how I survived. #1 in nightstalker started: 12-15-18 All credits are given to @CrystalScherer for letting me use her zombie ranks and some of her characters from the book 'The Virus Within'.

Altered

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
