The smell of smoke and decay filled the air as Liz pushed herself up slowly from the floor, her vision blurred. She tried to focus and look at her surroundings. The room she in was somewhat dark and completely gray except for a red metal barred door. A table sat in a far corner with what looked like weapons and boxes on it and metal shelves stood next to the table. Liz looked to the walls and squinted in the dull light. Writing had hastily been scribbled all over them. The walls read:

We are the real monsters
No the zombies are idiot!
Have you been outside?
I miss the internet.

Liz turned from the wall contemplating what she had just read then noticed some movement. She looked down and realized three other people were on the floor. She leaned over one of them and looked closely. Liz reach towards the person slowly then suddenly punched them in the arm.

"Hey! Wake up!"

The person on the floor grunted then slowly stood up.

"What the hell!? Who hit me?!"

"I did, get up!"
"What's going on? Where are we? Who are- Liz?"

Liz helped the person up and realized that it was Nick.

"I don't know where we are or what's going on. Can you get the other two people up?"

Nick began helping them up and Liz walked over to the red metal door. There was a small window in the door she could see through and she glanced around outside the room. Outside the room was a long corridor with many doors along it. Moaning noises could be heard from somewhere in the area and Liz backed away from the door. She looked to the wall and read it once more. Zombies.

"So now what?" asked Nick

One of the people that had been on the floor stepped forward and Liz recognized him. It was Jaimos. The other person stepped forward and she saw it was Andy. Liz walked over to the table and picked up one of the guns. The boys were mumbling to each other about the situation when suddenly the door started rattling. Liz turned to face the door and aimed carefully, hitting something through the small window. It let out a shriek and blood spurted into the room. A thud was heard outside, then silence.

"Liz, what did you just do?" asked Jaimos

"I just killed a zombie. We've been thrown into a zombie apocalypse apparently. So here's what we're going to do. Everyone grab a gun and let's go kick some zombie asses." replied Liz

"What if we don't make it?" asked Nick

"Then we won't make it! At least we'll look cool as we die" said Andy as he went to pick up a gun.

The other two boys smirked, nodded, and went to grab weapons. Liz put her gun away and picked up a small red box with a cross on it. She figured it would be useful to her, and noticed three more. She threw the rest of them to everyone else, dispersing them evenly. She then turned to the shelves and grabbed a fire axe off of it. A smile spread across her face as she turned to the group.

"Let me axe you a question guys. Are you ready to kick some zombie ass?" She asked them.

"Did you just make a lame pun during a moment that could be our death?" asked Nick

Liz glared at him and then said "For that comment, I will be making all of the puns!", and with that she walked up to the door. Nick let out a groan as Liz placed her hand on the bar. It was the one thing protecting them from the zombies, but it would only keep them safe for so long. It was now or never, it was a fight to the death.
