4:35 PM

I tap rapidly on my controller, staring at the screen. "C'mon! C'mon!" I say desperately. "Anthony, flank them and pop a grenade!" I say in the mic. "Sure thing!" Anthony says back, until all of a sudden, the power goes out. "Uh oh." I say. I turn on my emergency lamp AKA just a regular lamp. Everything comes to sight around me, "Anthony?" I say on the microphone. "Can you hear me?" I say again. I get nothing for an answer, what's the hold up? I thought to myself, I open my door and walk out going to my basement. Which holds the power stuff, "Here goes nothing," I say. "RAHHHHH!" I yell and bash through the door. "Phew, thought I would see something like a monster." I get towards the power circuit and open it up, I look inside and look at it. "I'm no Guinness but I think this is on switch." I flip up the lever and the power turns back on. "Okay, back to gaming." I say then stepping out of the basement, and slamming the door behind me.

I then hear something on the tv in the living room, "What's this?" I say, then jumping onto the couch John Cena style. I whip my head to the tv screen and it says something like this: "WARNING, WARNING. DANGEROUS AND CONTAGIOUS DISEASE IN SUNLIGHT TOWN. STAY INSIDE YOUR HOMES UNTIL FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS." The tv says. "Weird." I say, I go to my door and put my hand on the handle. "I think this is some prank show-" BASH The door topples down and zombies fill the living room "AGH! ZOMBIES!" I yell, I quickly run up stairs and grab stuff inside my room, "Uhh." I spot some Cherry bombs, the ones where they are as loud as a videogame shotgun sound at full volume.

I grab them and head up to the attic, I fold down the ladder and climb up, "Zombies don't know how to climb ladders? Right?" I say to myself, I see a hand grip the corner of the wall. "OH FISH STICKS!" I yell then scrambling up to the attic, I look around and find a lantern, "Yes!" I say with my hands up in the air like I just won some world championship sport trophy thingy, I grab the lantern and turn it on, "Hmmmm." I say then looking around, I find my dad's baseball bat. "Rad!" I say, then grabbing the bat, I spot some nails and a hammer, I grab the box of nails and rip it open, I then grab the hammer and place the bat on some cardboard boxes. I start hammering in some nails near the edge of the bat. I finish up and grab black electrical tape, then wrapping it around the baseball bat handle. I rip off the electrical tape and stuff it in my pocket. I grab my old backpack which has a huge hole in it. I take out my electrical tape and tape it up. "Hot dog. Now this is what I'm talking about." I take some canned food and bottled water, shoving them into my old backpack. I see something at the corner of my eye, "Yes! My old satchel!" I raise it up in the air and put it on. It is all worn and torn, the buckle is a bit rusty, but that's okay. I then grab a hat and put it on, then taking a coat and bandana, I put on the coat and put the bandana to my neck for warmth, it feels like a scarf. In fact, I put it on my mouth. I hear banging on the door of the attic, "That's my que." I say, then jumping over boxes. I spot a mirror and look at myself, I look like some tough guy waste lander, I find some bandages and wrap them around my hands which work as boxing gloves, I grab some other gloves just in case I need it, I then feel a sharp pain on my right thigh, "Ooh!" I say holding it. I wrap it up in my bandages and stuff it into my backpack, then also take my cherry bombs and electrical tape and put them inside my backpack. I then find a rusty bayonet knife my grandpa found in a forest when he was 28 or 38. I take its sheath and also wrap electrical tape around the handle. I finally finish everything, and pack anything else useful, I find a coin purse full of coins and some dollar change. I stuff it into my satchel and then, Crick! Crack! BASH

! The attic door opens and zombies pile out. I jump to my zipline and ride it out of my attic window. "Beat that brain dead zombie!" I say behind me, rain pours everywhere basically polishing the streets. "Wait!" I single handedly took out my backpack searching for my radio scanner and walkie-talkie. I find them there. "Phew." I say, then pulling down my bandana and holding my backpack in my mouth and zip it up, I snatch my backpack from my mouth and slip it on. My mind plays some soundtrack instrumental apocalypse music. It feels like the start of the walking dead, just a kids story instead. I finally reach the end of the zipline and I appear in front of the comic book store, my favorite store, which also is half grocery store. I swing open the door with my left hand and take out my bat, resting it on my right shoulder. "Anybody here?" I say I get no answer in exchange, what a waste of words, I think in my mind, but not really a waste. I then find all of the food is fresh. "Good." I say then scraping some empty metal shelves. I quickly board up the doors with scrap and the windows. I grab my metal cutter and cut out a rectangle inside, I glue on a little handle on the rectangle and slip it back in, I also grab some super hero action figure gears and make some sort of open and close peep hole, but it's a rectangle.

I see the rain pour and zombies moan, groan, and limp past the comic book/grocery store. I close the rectangle peep hole, "Hm." I find a little corner and grab a yard shovel plus a pickaxe. I grab the pickaxe and start to smash open the floor tiles. The floor tiles are gone and are big enough to make a hole where I can walk down. I toss the pickaxe aside and start digging, "Nobody said surviving a zombie apocalypse would be easy." I say to myself.

8 HOURS LATER

I finally finish and walk inside my little cave. I unpack everything there, I even bring with me a rolling shelf which could hold my food and water. I put it to the wall of the dirt and put all of my water and food there, I also take out my radio scanner and walkie, I set them down and take out my cherry bombs and bandages. I put them on the shelf which holds even more food and a couple jugs of water. I grab a water bottle and open it up, then pull down my bandana and gulp the water down. I chug half of it and put the cap back on. I put it on my desks which I fished out of the manager's office, I also sat down on the managers chair, it was SOOO comfy. I sighed until my radio scanner turned on to pick up a voice that I didn't know. It says: "THIS IS OUR FIRST BROADCAST OF THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, WE WILL BROADCAST LATER AT 7 AM SHARP. WE LIVE AT THE SUNLIGHT TOWN BULLDOG MIDDLE SCHOOL, ALL ARE WELCOME…" The broadcast ends and I look outside, it sure is dark, good thing I packed my camping sleeping bag. I roll out my sleeping bag which has a pillow built in. I then hear some steps at the front door, "Trevor?"
