Waking up this morning was a little strange. The skies were red instead of sunny and the streets were empty. I checked my parent’s bedroom to see if they were in there, but it was completely empty. It was as if I was all alone.

I went back into my room to put clothes on so I can go outside and investigate. When I walked through my front door it was like walking into an abyss. Nothing was there and it was dark. I checked my watch to make sure it was morning and sure enough I was right. It was 8:30 am, but it seemed like it was more like midnight.

This was just all too strange for me. I kept walking the streets in hopes I’d find someone and then BAM!

I heard a loud bang coming from an alleyway. I walk towards it to see what was going on. That’s when I see it... a zombie. I turn around and try to run away as fast as I can, but then I kept running into more. They were getting faster and faster. I didn’t know what to do so I channeled my last bit of energy and sprinted straight to my house.

Once I got there I began to board up every available entrance. “Phew, good thing my parents were remodeling or I wouldn’t be able to close off anything.” I said scared, but relieved.

Everything was boarded up as best as can be and for a moment I felt safe until I heard a scream coming from upstairs.

I ran up to the second floor to see where it came from, but it was silent. Oh wait! There it goes again, it’s coming my my little sister’s room. I walk to the room and enter as quietly as possible just in case the zombies were inside. When I opened the door I just seen Lizzy curled up in a ball behind her bed.

“Hey, are you okay?” I asked

“Yeah I’m fine, but mom and dad are missing and there are people outside our house.” She said

“I know, I tried looking for them, but instead I found zombies.””They chased me all the way home so we can’t leave.””We need to find a safe place to hide until they vanish.” I said

“Z-z-z-ZOMBIES!!!!” Lizzy screamed

“Shhhh, we can’t make any noises. I don’t know what they are capable of.” I whispered

Lizzy and I go hideout in the closet for awhile hoping that things will get better.

Then suddenly everything goes black.

“Zack””Zack””Wake up!”

“Mom, dad is that you?”

“Yes honey. You were screaming, I think you were having a nightmare.” Mom said

“I think I was too. There were zombies everywhere! I didn’t think I was going to make it.” I said as I was shaking

“Well you’re okay now son, lets go downstairs and get some breakfast.” Dad said

Ha! What a dream!

The End!
