Swearing loudly, I know I can’t get in there. I call my dad to make sure he’s alright, when he finally answers his phone, he had already been to the shed and grabbed a shotgun and was grabbing the spare gas containers and is going to fill them and grab more non perishable food for our emergency room.

Zombie Project The very first day was going great. My friends and I were on our way home from school. My friends name our Riley and Jaylin.

Not everyone can be in war mode one hundred percent of the time. Humanity had never experienced anything like the army of the living dead. The undead were always in a state of total war…
