This New World We Live In (A Walking Dead fanfic)

I ran as fast as my feet would carry me. My lungs gasped for oxygen. I knew I had to stop, but he could still be following me.

I pushed myself harder. I needed to get away, far away. From him. From this.

I remember I just woke up one day, and went to work as usual.

I drove my squad car around town on patrol, but I saw bodies. Bodies everywhere. They were dead bodies, but they weren't still on the ground. They were walking around. As if they had re-animated.

I shook away the memories from the day it started all those weeks ago and focused on my running. It was almost sunrise and I figured I could stop soon. As soon as I knew I was safe.

But I know now that I had fooled myself. In this new world, you can never be safe.

I'm Katie Greene, and this is the apocalypse.
