The day after.... The world has just finished experiencing the first day of the infection. The bad news. People all around the globe, have been knocked out of contact with one another, and all around the globe, the infection has struck. The good news. The zombies are slow moving, uncoordinated, and easy to kill.... for now. But signs are visible, of the strain mutating, and affecting hosts differently. h\How this will turn out, only time will tell. for now though, everyone's main concern, is simple survival. something rather more difficult than it may seem. the good news. the zombies are really, REALLY easy to kill for now. the bad news. The ratio of infected to normal, is at least a thousand to one. so there are A LOT to kill. Top priority. Linking up with other survivors, and trying to establish a safe zone.
Tiruen sat in the living room of his apartment, as deathly silent as he could possibly be. his sink, and his tub, were full of water, as well as every glass he had available. the moment the news had recommended it, he had done so. his door was locked ,.and barred as strongly as it was possible to be ,and he was at least ten stories up. no way they were getting up. But somehow, he had to get out. he brushed aside his long black hair and grimaced. he could grab it easily. so could they.... he took a pair of scissors to it, and grimaced, at how ridiculous he looked, but it was better than getting yanked back by the head to those horrifying waiting jaws.... he shivered, and fell to his knees, afraid. he had.... he had killed his next door neighbour. he still had the wooden baseball bat he had used when he played in high school. she had come at him when he was getting back from grocery shopping, and they had struggled. her body was still being eaten by a few of the mindless monsters in the hallway, and he could see the elderly old ladies face, contorted in.... some sort of inhuman emotion. he saw her mouth, full of browning, and bloody teeth, blood all down the front of her white night gown, her hair still done up in curlers, and he had fought. he had done everything, anything, and miraculously, he had escaped unharmed, and her blood still stained his bat, lying discarded in the corner of his house, and he was afraid to look at it. The fiction author had wanted something to happen, but not like this.... nothing like this. a horror story wasn't what he wanted, yet here it was, waiting outside his front door. Oh, how he wished he had bought a hand gun, or some sort of firearm so he could deal with this a little more, but no. he had decided against it, in the interest of peace. so all he had to fight with was a camping hatchet, his baseball bat, and any number of kitchen knives he chose to use. against thousands of of these undead freaks, that would only die with a direct blow to the head. he toyed with simply jumping out the window now, but he decided against, a thin glimmer of hope filling him at the thought of perhaps reaching some sort of military base. surely, they of all people could help. he went about his small apartment, making preparations, grabbing everything, his cellphone, a sleeping bag, a change of clothes, packing up anything that might be used as a weapon, as well as a journal, and several pens. he wanted to record this, in the hopes that maybe, when this was all over, eh could write a book, or at least, if someone came across itm, they could know of his account. it gave him some small measure of safety, to pretend. he was about to set out, and he imagined the creatures in the halls, waiting for him, and he groaned softly, falling to his knees, sobbing. he couldn't do it. not yet.
