I looked out the window, seeing snow fall hastily. I could barely see across the street. The snow acted like a fog through my blurry eyes. A little light shown from the midst of the fog-like snow.
It was silent and all I could think about was how cold the room was. I was the only one in it, the fireplace was my only source of warmth in these cold days.
I shivered tremendously as my forehead started to burn up more, I had a high fever. This was the only room that hadn't had any broken windows, glass on the floor, a door, and hadn't burnt.
The military had done all they could to save everyone, though they lost many. I've seen few normal people run from the infected and failed. I would have helped them but I hadn't prepared any weapon of sorts to do so. Those people always tripped and torn to pieces, what a sad fate we all ended up with.
I grew weaker, day by day. Without food or water, I'd never survive. My fate was to die here, alone….. In this dark place.
I started thinking back, to that very beginning. Seeing people go mad… go insane and feverish. They ate each other like a pack of wolves. I ran with my little sister, Sia. We came here… What happened to her? Remember…..remember or I'll end up going mad…..
I barely talked before this happened and now I was alone, completely alone, with hostiles surrounding this place. I couldn't escape, nor did I even want to.
Sia had been running with me to this room. She tripped on a book that had been thrown out of a room. Before I could reach her, several pale gray hands grabbed her, tore into her….. all I did was run…. Run into this untouched room.
It was an empty, black colored room….. It added to the darkness… I had been angry with myself,….. Ever since that day…. my birthday when all of this started.
I had less then a week to live… maybe two, but I'd die of starvation and I was so thirsty….. I was pathetic…
I started to here movement in the halls, was someone coming here? Or was it an infected? Either way, with the little strength I had left, I dragged my body out of sight, hiding in the back closet.
I heard a banging on the door, not a knock. I was sure it was infected. Did something change my fate?….. Now I was going to be eaten alive. Some luck I have….. The infected backed the door down and entered the room. If I didn't want to die, I'd have to hide myself fast and quietly.
I heard footsteps come in my direction, my heart beating faster as I inched to a bunch of coats. Don't come yet! No! Don't! ….Footsteps coming closer, then entering the closet, I froze, not moving a muscle….barely even breathing. I didn't want it to end like this!
I looked around for anything that could be a weapon…..nothing. There was only so much I could see only moving my eyes. Then I noticed something shiny… a knife? Something sharp? Scissors? I hoped so.
I moved my hand just a little and it made a creaking sound on the floor boards. Oh no! The infected leaped at me and…..!
