            I woke up. I was feeling a bit more refreshed that I have been in the last couple of days. I had the stomach flu for the past couple of days. Of course I was worried it was one of the diseases that are going around nowadays, but a couple days of rest does anyone good. Well maybe not the disease ridden people, but sleep is a wonderful thing anyways. I think I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jacob. I have brown, curly hair, 16 years old. I stand around 5’7, not too tall, but not too short. I live in Harriston, a small town in Canada. Its’ a beautiful town, our slogan basically is “A Nice Town.” Everyone waves to everyone here. It is home. That is the only word that exactly describes it for me.

         Okay, Where was I? Oh yes, I was just recovering from my sickness. I got up, out of my Harry Potter poster ridden room. I then went to check the time, but the power seemed to be out. So I went to the wall clock which displayed the time as 9:28 AM. Both of my parents should be off to work, and my sister Sadie should be at school. Speaking of school, I should of went , I was feeling well enough, but once you get a taste of home, you just don’t want to go. I decided just to wait one more day… Just to be sure. After I got dressed, I decided to take a walk down the neighborhood. Before I left, I noticed the house was unusually messy. That was just really odd. I put on a coat on this chilly spring day. I went outside, and something was off. Everything felt still, there was a thick fog with little to no visibility.  All that could be heard was a crow hawking in the distance There was abandoned cars along the street that I cautiously avoided. Not at all the “Beautiful” neighborhood I grew up in and loved.



        Suddenly, a figure emerged. It was hard to make out, but It looked a lot like my bachelor neighbor, Glen. He was a Ned Flanders type looking guy. Extremely nice guy. Except now. He was making unpleasant noises. walking with a bit of a limp. I walked towards him. “Glen?” I said. Glen mumbled “HUUUURLLG” I saw his eyes, bloodshot, or blue shot? I couldn't tell. It was a bit of everything, except the brown colour that it usually is. I then saw the blood running down his mouth “WHAT THE HELL” I yell. By then I was probably too close to ever tell the tale of the sight, but suddenly I heard a slash sound. Glen paused and fell to the ground with a kitchen knife embedded in his head. Someone around my height was behind him. Brown hair, but lighter than mine, and not at all curly. That was all under his toque. He had glasses and had a black puffy coat on. I knew this guy. It was my good friend Mel! “Man I am glad to see you” I exclaimed. “What do you think you were doing man?” He questioned with concern. I explained “Going out for a walk, I just recovered from a flu and..” Mel grabbed the knife out of Glen’s head and pointed it at me. “Are you infected?” He said calmly. “What are you talking about dude?” I said. Mel then said “Just tell me, are you still sick? Were you bitten?” “No, and No” I said with authority. “You really do not know what is going on?” Mel said. There was worry in his eye, but also was lowering his knife. I then said in almost a whisper “Absolutely Not.” Mel fully lowered his knife. “This is gonna sound like a mode off of Call of Duty or something, but in the last few day, an outbreak occurred. It was strange. Schools were on lock down. these everyday people turned into these deady’s. through an infection and a bite” He exclaimed pointing at Glen. The weird thing is Some people, mostly parents just disappeared.”




       Just a Mel finished saying that I thought of my parents, and my sister. We were a tight family. Had fun, very close and loving. I interrupted “You didn't happen too see my family as one of those?” “No” He said. Then pointing back at Glen he said “He is the first one I've seen in person. and the first i have killed. I saw it on the news before the power went out. Me, my brother Ulli, and my dad got supplies, but I woke up this morning, and my dad was just. Gone. Without a trace” What Mel said somewhat gave me hope. Even though I had no idea where some of these parents disappeared too. Mel then said “Well Jake, Me and my bro are going to find shelter. We are driving up to our high school and see if they are any survivors. Then head to some house. I immediately thought of all my friends, Isaiah, Liam, Liz, Rose, Sandy...Lily. Lily was my everything…. sorta. She sorta friendzoned me, but we gotten really close since. She is so beautiful to me. dirty blonde,light freckles, my height. Unique style of clothes. There was just something about Lily. I then got a horrible feeling. I can not lose her. “She has to be at the school” I mumbled. “What?” Mel said. “Nothing, lets just go” We walked a few blocks to Mel’s house, avoiding deady’s. Got his brother Ulli who was basically Mel except shorter, and two years younger.  He was really smart with computers. He put his Mac In their fathers minivan, followed by Mel’s PS3. “Do you really need that?” I said to Mel. “Gotta be power somewhere” He said with no questions asked. We got in the car. I then said with suspicion “Do you have your full licence Mel?” “Nope!” He said with a grin, and then he took off to the high school that was down the long Whites road. Lets find them.
