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.
