It was a normal night and I was getting ready to settle in for the night. I slipped on my slippers, grabbed my dinner and sat down to watch tv. I was flipping through the channels and about to skip through the news channel when I heard it say “Breaking news! Many people in the state of new hampshire have been infected by a zombie virus, Scientists say that they were trying to do a sciencentific experiment but it went horribly wrong. Please lock all of the doors and stay inside to stay safe”, I turned off the tv and sat there for a moment. This was something you only heard in horror movies or tv shows. There is no way that this is real. I sprang up from the couch and quickly locked all the doors and windows.
About 15 minutes later I heard nothing but terrible groaning, banging, and scratching outside my house. I quietly creeped up to the window to lift up the blinds and I was speechless. There were hundreds of zombies outside my house. I Diden’t know what to do until I remembered my emergency exit door in my house so I decided to try and get to a safer place to stay.
I was finally outside and I couldent see any zombies so I started to try and find a more safe place to stay. I took a couple steps forward and saw a crumbled up piece of paper on the ground. It was a map! It said there was a safe house all the way across the forest. I needed to get to safety so I decided to see if I could make my way there. I looked up from the map and saw a zombie lunging right towards me. I tried to run away but the zombie was already pinning me to the ground. I tried to kick, scream, or wiggle away but it was no use the zombie had a firm grip around my wrists. Just then I felt an excruciating pain in my arm and relized that I was bitten. My breathing slowed, my body was numb and my vision was getting blurrer by the second then everything went black and when I woke up again I was a zombie.
