Chapter 5

Dave was close now. His mother’s house could be seen in the distance, and it didn’t look like there were any of those zombies around. So Dave approached the house and parked in the front yard. As he approached the front door, he had a feeling he was being followed. He turned around and saw the creatures approaching. He quickly screamed, “SHIT!” and ran inside. When he stepped inside, he saw blood.

Dave started to panic. He went into his mom’s bedroom and saw what he had been dreading. The mutilated and eaten bodies of his mother and family were on the floor. Dave knelt down beside them, sobbing. Dave took his gun out, and shot a bullet into each of their heads, just to make sure they didn’t become those creatures. Dave stayed there for a little longer, contemplating if he should end his own life.

Dave decided that he would instead eradicate these bastards. Not for him, or his friends, but his family. They had killed his family, so he would kill them. After saying a few words for them, Dave lit the house on fire, just in case the bullets didn’t work.

Dave got back into the car, but not before wasting some of the creatures surrounding the house. He drove away, thinking about what he would do next. After some planning, he decided that he would try the small grocery store down the road. It was small, so it was all right for hiding in. He would need a place to baracade himself until this passed.

He drove to the store, and almost shit himself. There were hundreds of zombies surrounding the store, trying to get inside. There must already be survivors in there, so he decided he would floor it to the store. He plowed through the groups of zombies. Running them over and shooting at them from the car. He got close to the door and bailed out of his car.

He ran to the door shooting the zombies on his way. One of the people inside locked the door. Dave went over and screamed, “LET ME IN!” The man inside shook his head and said, “How do we know your not infected?” Dave took his shirt off and turned so the man could see, and pointed to his legs to indicate that there were no bites on him. The man looked, and then reluctantly opened the door. Dave stepped in, turned to the man, and punched him. Dave said, “Don’t EVER do that again.”
