I woke up hearing Jayne yelling my name "Chester!... come here now!" I ran downstairs in my pjs. "what?" I asked him throwing my hands in the air because it was only 3 In the morning. "I need your help! go get dressed and grab Mural make sure to grab that thing that you put her in when you carry her on your back... whats that called?" he sounded out of breath. "I don't know!" I said running upstairs.

I put on a pair of jeans and a Red
t-shirt that had the design of black paint splats spreading from one of the shoulders. Then I put on a pair of black Converse, Combed my hair and grabbed Mural. then I strapped her to my back using that... thing...

I ran downstairs and saw my dad throwing a bunch of canned food in a backpack. "Where are we going?" I asked pointing at the bag. "I don't know We just have to leave!" he shouted. "Why?" I asked getting a little nervous. "There was an accident at new life incorporated and in the process of them trying to find a way to increase a humans lifespan by 20 years something went wrong that caused a Virus to spread only they couldn't stop it and now there are dead people walking on the streets attacking every living person on this planet so yes we are leaving." I felt a chill of fear run down my back but some disbelief in what he had said. "Why do we have to play your games at 3 in the morning." I said walking back upstairs. "Stop! I'm serious we need to go... Now! Grab whatever you need." he didn't sound like he was joking so I ran upstairs and grabbed my pocket knife, money, and a light green hoodie jacket that was in really bad shape. I ran back downstairs and into the living room.

"What's going to happen to mom?" I asked sliding the knife in my pocket. "I don't know but we have to go... is that a knife you have in your pocket?" I covered my hand over my pocket. "Why?" I asked as he let out a small laugh. "Take this that won't save you." he handed me a loaded pistol. "What... your... serous?" he looked at me like he wanted to slap me. "Yes." As I walked in the kitchen to grabbed my cell phone I heard Jayne mumble something about me being worthless. we ran to the car and I took that baby holder off my back but I didn't put her in her seat in case we had to jump out fast. I wanted to go back to sleep but I'm kind of wide awake from this... zombie thing? whatever you call them...

I held Mural tight as we backed out of the driveway. We got off our street and we just went straight. dad wasn't talking and Mural was sleeping like a rock neither of us were wearing a seatbelt because I was to scared to strap myself down to a chair right now. . .
