AMC's The Walking Dead Fan fiction
Hell on Fire
Prologue
"The end is near." Some bums sign was actually right. But it's not near…It's here. The dead are walking again, and I have no idea why. It's freaking the shit out of everyone though. I found a bunch of people, and we've holed up in a self-storage place. We found a bunch of cots in someone's old storage place. They ain't nice, but they'll get us through the next few weeks, 'til the generators run out. We already checked, and there ain't no more power once them generators do finally run out… And then... Then I guess we're all screwed, ain't we?
Chapter One; August 14, 2013
Things were real bad at this point. Mike said we had 'bout a week 'til no power. And the worst part is; the storage place is all indoors. Safe, but indoors. Power goes out, no windows, no light what-so-fucking-ever.
"Johnny! Getcher ass over here! I'm in mah room!" Suite 147 it is, I thought. We preferred to call 'em suites rather than, you know, storage units. It ain't much, but according to some jackass psychologist we got with us, it "helps with mind calming". What a douchebag. But, he knows better than any of us right?
"Shit man…We best load everyone up with some flashlights. Guards first, any extras can go to families, then single people. I think they're probably gonna run out tonight… I know I said a week at least," he interrupted me, seeing the shocked look on my face. "I know, a'right? I do… We're gonna head out once they do run out…"
I thanked Mike for lettin' me know 'bout this. I wasn't really thankful, I just… I'm not an asshole. I put out an announcement which, thinking back, wasn't that smart; wasted more power. Now that everyone knew, I thought we'd all start getting ready. I was wrong. Nine million per-cent wrong. All hell broke loose as soon as I finished that announcement. I heard the screams, the panic, and the guards trying to calm everyone down. I un-holstered my 9 mil. pistol, and headed into the hallway. I fired a shot into the air, and everyone shut their mouths real fuckin' fast.
