Chapter 2

September 17, 2008

Tina was making breakfast when it all started. She woke up early so she could have something decent to eat before she went to the basic military training camp. She was a drill instructor. She changed wimps into real men and women. She slept peacfuly at night knowing that she was training the future soldiers of America.

The pancakes were a nice meal. She hadn’t had them in a while. So she was really looking forward to it. They were her grandmas old recipe. Her grandma had always made the best pancakes. Always adding a little vanilla to them. She stayed at the table for a while eating, savoring each bite. But as she was loading her dishwasher, that’s when it started.

The creatures busted down her door. She had seen these things in a testing facility before, and knew what they were capable of. She opened one of the countertop drawers and pulled out her pistol. She always kept guns around the house. Where she lived, people needed guns all over the house. The gun already had ammo loaded into it, so she didn’t need to worry about finding ammo for her gun.

There were 10 of them. One was enough to overpower even the strongest of people, so she knew she had her work cut out for her trying to destroy these things. She fired off a shot and blew a clean hole through a zombies head. That was the only way to kill them, the head. Somehow they’re brains still worked, while nothing else did. They just gorged on humans, with their endless hunger. But she kept firing.

They started getting closer. There were more coming through the door, and she knew she wouldn’t last to long if she stayed there. So she made her way to her garage. She picked up the keys off the counter, and ran. But as she ran, she was confronted by another one. It knocked her to the ground, and she struggled to keep it away from her neck. It was getting closer, and so was the other mass of zombies.

So she made a desperate move. She snapped the creatures neck. It made a sickening snapping sound as the creature died. She dumped it off of her body and fired a few more shots into the mass of creatures getting closer. She opened the connecting door to her garage, and darted into her car. She started the car, and busted out of the garage door without opening it. She sped down the highway, and started looking for survivors.

The takeover

September 16, 2008

This is a zombie story I’m doing. The chapters are short right now. But I will make them longer. Leave feedback, on how it could be better, or how good it his.

Chapter 1
The alarm woke me, Dave, up at 6:00 in the morning. I didn’t want to get up, because I didn’t like my job at home depot. Another boring day of stocking the shelves and pointing the way for the unwary customer. But I gathered my pride and told myself that someday, something different would happen.
Little did I know, this was the day.
I did my usual routine. Shower, breakfast, brushing teeth, getting dressed, and watching the news before I went to work. But at around 7:10, I was aware of a scraping and moaning at my door. I peeked outside of my window, and saw what looked like a homeless guy.
I opened my door prepared to yell at him to go get a job and a life. But as soon as I opened the door, he lunged at me and tried to bite me. I instinctively dodged the lunge, and went to throw him out of my house. But when I walked over, I saw that something was wrong with him.
He turned and started limping at me. That’s when I realized that he wasn’t normal. His facial features had been distorted. It almost looked like his face had been eaten.
I pushed myself away from the cannibalistic monster, and darted out my door to my car. When I stepped outside though, I saw that there were more creatures just like him. And they were all coming for me.
Luckily I always pick up my car keys when I get dressed in the morning. I ran to my car, punching any creatures in my way, and quickly unlocked my door,got in, started up the car, and drove away. I could feel the jolts as I ran over these creatures, but I didn’t pay attention to that. I just got out as fast as I could.
I drove away at dangerous speeds. I saw burning cars and hundreds of the creatures. I was struck with a panic there and then. Were my friends allright. After that thought popped up in my head, I go my cell phone of my car’s dashboard and started to dial number.I got a busy dial tone on all of them. I suppose that the signal was gone because of this apocolypse. I cursed and threw my phone on the ground. I then hit another one of the creatures, and cursed again.
I was then overcome with adrenaline to just keep going and going. I didn’t see that I was going straight for a car. Not until the last possible second in time. I crashed into the overturned car, and banged my head against the steering wheel. I was dazed, but realized I had to get out before I was consumed.
I opened the door to my car, and limped out. I started to limp away, avoiding the incoming creatures. I then started to look for shelter. I knew I would be needing it, because I knew this wasn’t going to end soon.
