It had all started out one night when I was coming home from a friends house. He lives in a rural area about 5 miles from my house which is in an urban area.I don't see him much, but he was having a party. I was getting a drive home from his brother since I had no way of getting home especially since it was late. We were driving home and I saw a few men in the corn fields a few blocks over. There was about 7 of them. All equiped with flashlights. I couldn't figure out what they were looking for. I figured that it was just a missing cow or maybe a wolf has found it's way to the corn field.
I got home decided to see if it would be on the news. There was nothing about the corn fields, but there was something about a man who was inside an office building trying to bite people. Apparantley he was going up stairs slowly in a staggering manner when he bit someone going down the stairs. The biter got his neck, but the man who got bit kicked the biter down the stairs trying to get away and killed him because his head slammed against the wall going so fast.
It also said that the man who died was announced missing earlier that week and the man who got bitten was in the hospital with a severe feaver. This all seemed strange, but then it got worse. The building was about 2 miles from me. What's worse is that the hospital was about 3 miles. I knew what was happening. It could only be one thing.
I called up Atarah and Mr.Anderson. I told them to come over as soon as they could. It only took about half an hour. I asked them if they saw what happened on the news. Mr.Anderson saw it, but Atarah didn't. We explained to him about what happened. He was dumbfounded. We all knew what was happening. The thing we had been preparing for, for years. The uprising was about to start. We went to Atarah's house. In his basement we made a secure base since his walls were made of concrete and wasn't directly under his house but instead a little of to the side. Inside we had water, canned food, machetes, and more supplies. His parents were out of town as were mine.
Mr.Anderson simply snuck out. We all were in the basement with a map.
On the map there was a trail. It lead to the ocean. At the ocean a dinghy was there that was never chained up on the shore. "Mr.Anderson, how much can your bag carry?" Atarah asked.
"It's a big bag, so it can hold enough food and water for about a week... I think..." Mr.Anderson responded.
We started packing. The bag was a duffel so it held well over one weeks worth of canned food. We had at least one months worth of canned food and 5 gallons of water. Mr.Anderson picked up the bag and said "Let's get out of this town". We all knew we would be leaving our familes behind, but we didn't have enough to support more than 3 people for an extended amount of time.
As Mr.Anderson and I were walking up the stairs Atarah asked "Wait, what if it wasn't a... zombie just a psycho with a infectious disease? I mean also even if it was just one zombie. It should be able to be controlled... right?" Mr.Anderson and I looked at each other. We knew he was right. We were reacting too quickly. Mr.Anderson put the bag down and said we should stay at Atarah's for the next few days and watch the news. Atarah said it would be fine for us to stay. We all thougt that was a good idea. We switche off wathcing the news so that way we had one person monitering the news at all times.
Mr.Anderson went first for monitering. He was watching it as Atarah was looking up recent news in other places around the world looking for similar incidents. I was in the basement looking to see how many of each things we had. I mad a list.
Supplies
------------------
Canns of Food: 68
Gallons of Water: 12
Machetes: 4
Blankets: 6
Radio: 1
Batteries AA: 12
Batteries AAA: 8
Batteries D: 2
Clock: 2
Fishing Pole: 3
Matches: 3
Lighters: 2
Gasoline: 1 gallon
I came upstairs with the list. We had enough to be locked in the basement for about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 months. After that we would need to find other food.
Mr.Anderson said after two hours he didn't see anything on the news and that it was Atarah's turn. Atarah got up and said "Two men have died in france from infectious bites." He than went over to the TV to moniter it. Mr.Anderson went to sleep and I began to look up news on the computer.
