Most people weren't prepared for when it hit... Nobody knew what to do... It happened to fast like getting tackled when you were going to sit down or getting sucker punched in a fight. Needless to say you knew to Target the head everyone knew that because of all the media around zombie survival tv shows. What no one knew was you had to Target three specific parts of the brain and that was the hard part.

We didn't know what was happening the principal came over the intercom and announced a full lockdown. I wasn't in the classroom I had use the bathroom and that made me the lucky one.

I was lucky I had my backpack on me but that's about it. I was freaking out but I took numerous deep breaths having to calm my nerves and I waited I heard terrifying horror filled screams and breathless groaning. I got a text from my best friend Dan who just graduated and was a redneck and garbage man the text read get your mom from the motel and hightail to my house. You'll be safe their get to my room keep the lights of and front door locked. I responded with a simple ok.

I had to leave my mom just got fired three days before from her job and she is probably watching the news. Things have been rough because money's been real tight for a couple years and about six months ago my mom got kicked out. So we are living in a motel.

Stepped out into the Hall and looked back and forth down either side of the long hallway. The front office was right there and not long after my old teacher Mr Johnson stepped out of the principals office motioning quitely for me to come inside when I was about to make a break for the parking lot. I went into the office and a small group of students and teachers alike were gathered in there.

The door was then locked and the principals desk was picked up and placed in front of the older oak door. "Mr J what is happening... They are I heard screams and... I was in the bathroom but it sounded like bloody murder." I said asking as my right leg began to shake invulantarily from the fear.

"I have no clue. I just know that everyone is acting like goddamn zombies and killing each other. " He said having a pistol in hand as he checked the blinds. "Well could it be a nerve agent or some type of chemical warfare" I asked thinking out loud Mr Johnson would know Mr J knows everything he's a teacher and a former Marine. This kid Justin was curled up in the corner head in his knees crying I asked what's up with him and Mr Johnson responded and told me " you remember the secretary Mrs Christen she tried to eat him" he said. I suddenly got a loud buzz from my left pocket and I pulled my phone out in response my mom texted me u ok I'm on my way . I responded yes and told her I was with Mr Johnson. I pulled Mr Johnson aside and told him "my mom's coming we need to get you wife and get out of here".

"No I can't go these guys will die without me." He Said to seriously and went to turn I grabbed his forearm and responded " your family is what matters.. you of all people should know family comes first I told the young 35 year old former Marine.

"Alright let's go." He said and we moved the desk and we left to scout the school for his wife. We found her she was in the janitors closet with a broken broom leaning against the wall farthest from the mutant janitor. I lost it and spilled my breakfast. While Mr Johnson comforted his wife who was crying against his chest.

"We need to go" I told them wiping my chin on my long sleeve black shirt. I then rolled the sleeves up and past my elbows. I was a good fighter I fought only 7 amateur mma fights and win 5 of them. I have been training in Brazilian Jui jitsu and kickboxing for 3 years and know quite a bit at first it was an outlit for my anger then it evolved into a hobby I greatly enjoyed then a lifestyle.

However it wasn't all that usefully in the current moment I grabbed a screwdriver nearby and gripped it firmly before we left. I followed Mr Johnson to the parking lot and mom had just peeled into the parking lot right by the doors and a many loud peircing cries of Savages that have no remnants of humanity left erupted behind us and three of us crammed into the small Pt cruiser. Before we tire out of the school parking lot.

"We need to go to Dan's he told me to haul ass and get up their he has guns and knows how to use them". My mom protested "what about our stuff at the hotel..". "what about it, it's Monday you just did laundry at you Vinnie's and our clothes are in the backseat. That's all we have that we need" I said really quickly.

"I actually back the Noah right now Dawn."Mr Johnson said. "I've seen this before.. people will get scared and resort to looting. It's better we get off the streets and to somewhere safe. Dan's is perfect because it is in the middle of nowhere." He said. My mom replied"okay I hope the military does something about this." She responded flatly like she had no better option.
