September 25
No one knew that the world was going to end. That everyone was going to be poisoned in the brain, by a virus. No one knew that that would be the start of the end

Madison sat in her room, researching for her school history project, when breaking news flashed on her tv. She turned around in her swivel chair, leaning back in it, as she watched the news.. "The number of confirmed deaths has past two hundred" the sound of police cars siren and ambulances "the governer has called a state of emergency" Ambulances flew behind in the back ground as they drove to the hospital full of sick people. "Hundreds and hundreds of bodies lying in the street" the ground was covered in blood as people layed motionless on the streets, on sidewalks, on roads. Everywhere.
"Panic spread world wide after a leaked report from the world health organisation showed that the latest vaccination tests have failed" a report labels classified in red bold writing on it read:
World Health Organisation
Dr. Michael Conner.
Head of vaccines and medicine research.
To the representative in the courthouse, we are sorry to say that the latest vaccination tests has failed, we have tried fungus treatment but the patient keeps getting more aggressive even after receiving the shot. We have no hope in finding a cure or vaccine.
"But the bureaucrats have the power, we can finally take the necessary steps" the present of America stood on the stand giving a speech to a bunch of supporters. "Los Angeles is now the latest City to be placed under martial law" People stood behind concrete pillars as the military stood holding guns, as everyone screamed in panic and shouted pointing fingers. "All residents are required to report to their designated quarantine zone"
"Riots have continued for a third consecutive day, is there any hope for our world"
"Oh shit" the women cursed as she quickly picked up the phone to check if her parents were okay, and if they had cancelled their trip to come home to get them. "Mum pick up" she muttered over and over again as she heard the ring of the phone, 'hello this is Rachel sorry I couldn't get to the phone, I am busy at work, please leave your name and number and I will try to get back to you" beep. Madison cursed angrily as she tried to get ahold of her dad instead. 'hi this is Otto please leave your name and number so I know to never get back to you' beep.
After a few days the world got worse the radio went silent after giving the last breaking news "the world health organisation has come out in the latest news interview" the news interview audio played "we regret to inform you that we haven't found a cure or a vaccine we advise you to lock your doors and stay inside, but that's all we can say at this point" Madison didn't know that the magder cities would be bombed the following day, until a large explosion could be seen out her window.
She called her parents one more time as the could be heard outside. "mum, dad did you know, did you know that the world was going to shit, did you guys flee the country because of it." Tear slipped down her face as she took deep breaths to steady her breathing "d-did you leave us to turn....t-to die. P-please just let me know....if you left us here...to be killed..." Madison sobbed in to the phone. "I-i will look after Malia so j-just come back....and tell me what to do...h-how to survive"
Voicemail is full...
"fuck!" She exclaimed and threw the phone to the ground hearing it crack on the wooden floor.
Madison heard screams outside her window and she ran into Malia's room "What's going on?" Malia asks, sitting up as she rubs the sleep from her eyes.
"we need to go" Madison rushes her 9 year old sister out the door grabbing a back pack and her baseball bat on the way to the car. She wasn't about to tell her little sister that the world was being infected.
The little girl held onto her teddy bear with her left hand and her right was around her sisters neck, as Madison ran to her car, before unlocking it placing Malia in the back. She rushed to the driver's seat. A man ran towards her growling and screeching. Madison yelled out loud as she swung the bat at the man's head, it made contact with his skull as he dropped down to the ground lifeless..no more twitching...or screeching violently... That was the first time she had killed anyone..but she would kill millions of more people to protect Malia.
The world around them exploded as bombs were being dropped around in the major parts of the cities. Madison pressed her foot against the accelerator. She quickly drove onto the roads avoiding the roads that lead into the city, as the news man had said that the virus had spread more in the cities, but the traffic jam forced her to drive into the city, whilst she mutter curses under her breath, as she avoided driving over normal people, who were screaming in panic as they ran around the street.
Her sister cried in the back as she was confused on what was going on. "Malia it's okay I just need to get out of the city" Madison spoke as she moved her left hand behind her for her sister to grab ahold of.
Madison turned left only barely avoiding the car and rammed into the side of the car In front of them, and was sent into flames. Madison began to reverse but there was to many people behind them.
She finally got of the city streets of Kansas, she didn't know where she was driving too but she had to get out of there. Maybe there was a place where no infected lived...or could get inside. It was a child's dream to find such a place.
But that was twenty years ago.
