Chapter 2

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.
