How did it come to this ?
That was the single question that lingered on your mind as you gazed at the news on the television. Some sort of epidemic disease making people have an unsatiable urge to devour any human flesh. You knew you needed to run, but where?

Marianne yawned as she had her head in the palms of her hands. Class was boring as ever. Wouldn't something interesting come out? Looking around her, everyone was listening on the the teacher's monotonous lesson, making her heave out a sigh.

Somewhere, in an apartment building, a very stressed writer was seen residing in it. "This is dumb." Raye groaned, staring at his drafts then to his calendar. Right....The deadline was fast approaching and yet he's on his writer's block. Shutting off his laptop, the twenty eight year old proceeded to gaze out the window, where he could see the streets below. On days like these, he wished that he would be rid of his deadlines and get the sleep he deserves or people-watch.

Lumi jumped into her car after another day of work at the school. She turned on her radio and drove to the store, where she had a half day due to a problem in shipping. She heaved a heavy sigh and turned off the radio, deciding to drive in silence.

*Maddy walked outside of her farm house and began to chop wood with her axe. She stopped for a minute to catch her breathe as she look out towards the horizon* Maddy? Come inside for lunch *Maddy turned* Coming mom

---

"Hm?" Raye hummed questioningly as he saw a man staggering towards a person. Was he drunk? Whatever. The writer continued observing and let out a gasp of horror once he saw the man digging his teeth on the innocent person's flesh. The ravenette immediately shut off his curtains and tried to even out his breathing. What was that? Why was it so grotesque...?

---

*Maddy put her axe at the door and walked inside.* Mom? *She heard footsteps upstairs. She ran upstairs and looked around* Mom? *Maddy saw her father in the hallway* Dad, where is m- *Maddy saw her mother dead on the floor with bite-marks all over. Her dad began to slow walk towards her* Dad? *Maddy saw her dad's bloody mouth and hands and she ran downstairs and he ran after her. She went towards the door and grabbed her axe. Her dad ran towards her and she axed him multiple times to stop him*

(Oh geez...)

After reaching the shop, she sat there for a minute, deciding to wait a few minutes. She quickly decided not to and went in anyways. She unlocked the door and walked in, then went into the back. She grabbed a few extra pieces of candy from a bin and put it in her basket to take to school the next morning. She then went to the front to examine everything and tidy the place up before opening time.

---

"Ah geez, everything's so boring!" The female hissed under her breath as she scribbled nonsense on her book. On the corner of her eye, she noticed that someone just couldn't sit still and wouldn't stop shivering. Were they okay? Marianne just shrugged her shoulders as she couldn't care less. Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard in the hallways, immediately breaking everyone's concentration. "Miss Catria, I'm gonna check what's up, alright?" The teen asked, an excuse to get out of the class. The ginger didn't wait for her teacher's approval before slipping out of the class.

Everything was so quiet when she was out. Was it all in her head? No way, everyone heard that right? Suddenly, Marianne was pounced on the ground and was horrified when she looked at their face. "Oh, man." The high school student groaned, trying to push the weight of what she assumed was an undead off her body. Considering her physique, it was hard for her to do so. After a lot of pushes and attempts of evading the undead's bites, she somehow escaped and immediately ran. Ran for he life, she did as she got out of school, now noticing how noisy it was. "Oh, oh, what's happened...?" Marianne couldn't help but to feel helpless in this situation, but she didn't know what to do. So, she went to the nearest town to ask for help.

"It's like...A scene from a movie." The writer huffed, sweat forming on his face. The male immediately grabbed his laptop and shoved it in his backpack. He also did not forget to bring along his phone, although he rarely uses it. "Right...Weapons..." Raye mumbled, searching through his apartment for something. All he could find was a hammer and an aluminium baseball bat. "Had I always have this?" The bespectacled male murmured, inspecting the baseball before thinking that hey, it was a life or death situation.

(Sorry i went all out on this lmao)

---

(It’s alright XD)

It was now opening time and she was waiting for her co-workers to show up. They should’ve been here 15 minutes ago, but none of them were. Suddenly the door slammed open and 2 of the undead ran in. She shrieked and hid behind the counter, but they were already on her. She managed to escape into the back room and lock the door.

---

*Maddy looked at her dead father* It's happened. *She ran into the basement and grabbed her family's Winchester Rifle and all the ammo she needed*

---

The writer immediately ran towards his car and sped into town. It seems that the highway was already jammed up according to his GPA. "This is no good." The bespectacled male drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, thinking of what he should do. If he followed the highway, he'd be probably be stuck there, waiting for ages. So what he did was that he went to the nearest supermarket. If you need to survive, you need to scavenge for items. That's what he thought anyways.

"Oh boy, oh boy." The ginger muttered under her breath when she saw that the townsfolk was screaming and running as undeads chased after them. She also realized she didn't grab her bag along with her, where she had her phone in it. "Ah, damn it all." Marianne hissed, searching in her pockets for something. All she got was a pocket knife she had on her at all times. "If there were any poles nearby, I could just stick this st the end of it and make a spear..." The high schooler hummed before going to the nearest store, where she saw two zombies in it.

---

Lumi was shaking, hiding behind some of the cases. She clutched her handgun and fumbled with the ammo. She finally was able to get all of the bullets into the magazine and load it. She dialed 911 on her phone, hoping that this was all a Dream.

---

"Hey!" Marianne yelled out, gaining two of the undeads' attention. It was a spur of the action thing, something that she didn't plan well. "Oh. Oh crud." The ginger mumbled, immediately making a dash of it as the undeads chased after her. This was a horrible plan indeed.

Raye was now out of the store with a cart full of groceries and weapons and stuffed them inside his car. The writer contemplated on calling on his family members but decided that once he's in safety, only then he'll use his phone. The male drove forward, going to the candy store he frequented. The ravenette's eyes widened when he saw a high schooler running for her dear life from...something. And those something, rather, things were the undeads, now splayed on the street as the bespectacled male couldn't step on the brakes in time and hit them. Raye blinked once, twice. He never ran over someone before.

---

Lumi heard someone else had entered the shop. Had they tried to get her too? No... it sounded like they were trying to kill the undead, but unfortunately it didn’t go well. She cursed herself for being too scared to do anything and let the person get hurt. She ran out the back door, running after the group and attempted to shoot the undead. She had terrible aim, so she ran out of ammo without any hits.

---

*Maddy stopped at the edge of her ranch and went into a door inside the hill. She walked in and turned on the light, revealing rows of canned goods, guns and ammo, and a few cars. She walked deeper in and turned on an old radio.* Citizens are being told to remain calm as this disaster unfolds

---

"Get in. Get in!" Marianne snapped into reality once he realized that the driver who saved her life was calling out to her. She immediately ran to the backseat and locked the doors. "I...I heard gunshots." The nervous high schooler mumbled, looking at the driver's face on the rear-view mirror. "Welp, we gotta get to them." The driver shrugged his shoulders in a nonhalant manner as they tried to look for the source of the sound.

Oddly enough, Raye was quick to forget that he just ran over two undeads and stepped on the gas. "Tell me if you see anyone uh..." The writer trailed off, expecting the highschooler to tell him her name. " Oh, Marianne. Marianne Leicester." The ginger answered, gazing at the window. The male gave a curt nod and went back to his little speech. "If you see anyone that's not part of the undead, you tell me."

---

*Maddy heard gunshots and ran outside to her car. She heard the sounds of gunshots and people screaming from the town. She got in her Jeep and drove into town to help police officers and save people*

---

Once she saw that the girl was “safe”, she quickly ran back to the shop and locked everything up. She made sure she had extra ammo and food. I can’t survive off of candy... She grabbed a lollipop and ate it, knowing that she had to do something soon. She was scared out of her mind, shivering in her boots, her face pale. Most of all, she hoped her nephew was ok. She couldn’t bear the thought that he might be dead.

---

"That girl." Marianne pointed towards someone who ran inside a shop. "She went back into the store where I was chased." The ginger pointed out, staring at the door. The driver seemed to hesitate for a moment before sighing. "Alright. There's a baseball bat I just uh...Stole. From the supermarket. You stay here, I'll go get them."

Raye went out of his car with his aluminium bat on hand. He never had any memories of baseballing. So where did he get them. "Oh well." The writer sighed out once more as he approached the door. The male pounded on the door, in a desperate attempt to save whoever was inside. He also hadn't realized that a horde of zombies were fast approaching due to the gunshots from earlier.

---

Lumi jumped when she heard the pounding of the knocks against the door. She momentarily shrieked then covered her mouth. She raised her gun to the door and put her and on one of the locks. “A-are you s-safe?”

---

"Well, I've got a car and a highschooler inside. We're trying to look for safety and--" Raye's sentence was cut short as he now noticed the horde of zombies. "Ack. This is bad. Get out from the front!" The writer yelled as he started to bash the undead's heads one by one.
