Kennan's Diary

I’m writing this so that years from now, when the pieces of our world have been put back together, people will know what happened. They will know what we had to go through just to survive.
My name is Kennan O’Malley. I used to be your average teenage girl who loved to cheer and talk on the phone. I had plans for college and a boyfriend. But none of that matters now.
I won’t be cheering. I won’t be going to college. And I won’t ever know what it’s like to be Evan’s girlfriend. Because none of that exists anymore. That was my old life. And it’s gone.
Everybody thought my Dad was crazy, especially me. He kept duffel bags full of guns, ammo, and food supplies in our hall closet. Even his friends joked him. They called him a survivalist and said he was preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or something.
Turns out my Dad wasn’t crazy. Somehow, he knew the world was going to fall apart and he did what he had to in order to protect his family. And all those people who used to laugh at my Dad, they’re probably all dead by now. But it wasn’t zombies that destroyed the world. It was a monster far worse than that: humans.
