Overcoming An Apocalypse

[WPC #228 3rd place winner] At the sound of trumpets being blown, people turn into zombies. Johnathan and his other two friends try to survive this apocalypse. But is this a normal zombie apocalypse? Johnathan and this friends question this when they find a blood-red crystal come out of a zombie they killed. The aura it gives off is basically telling Johnathan to eat it, but he stops himself from doing so. However, because of some circumstances, Johnathan eats it. Not knowing what it'll do to him, he fears the worst. Death. But before this apocalypse, he watched and read many fantasy stories. So he got a little excited. What if it gives you power?' And because of that what if, he gambled his life. Not long after eating the crystal, he screamed in pain. His friends feared he had died but not long after, Johnathan stood up. He got what he gambled his life for. How will he use this power? Is this really only a zombie apocalypse? Or is it something more? Read and find out! (Warning) - The beginning is a little rushed, but it gets better. I plan on writing a prologue with a better start, but I still need to find time to do that. SO until then, Just bare with the rushed start. If you do, it'll be worthwhile. --------------------------- - Photo is not mine, I got it off google. - I also do not own any of the shows, movies, songs, etc. that I mention in the novel.
