"Wake up!" whispered Alex.

"……5 more minutes, dad…" Ian said groggily.

"Ian. Your dad's dead. Remember?"

Ian sat up slowly. He didn't need to be reminded about his father's death. Nor did he want to keep living, now that both of his parents, and his older brother.

Alex thought back to what happened not to long ago. Only three days prior to today. Ian's father was trying to turn the power on in an old warehouse to draw the zombies to the building. It seemed that the plan would work, and it did. A little too well. The undead cornered Ian's dad on the roof where the fuse box was located under a concrete panel. He jumped to his death, so he wouldn't become a zombie, and create more problems for the two boys.

"We've gotta keep moving…" said Alex. "I found a car. One that actually works…"

"What are we gonna do with a car if we don't have anywhere else to go?" asked Ian.

Alex pulled out a radio from the car he found.

"New broadcast…" said Alex. "There's a place with people… basically a colony."

"……..I'm not going……." said Ian.

Alex stared dumbfounded at Ian.

"What the hell do you mean you're not going'?!?" yelled Alex making Ian flinch slightly.

Ian looked up at Alex with a sad look, and said quietly "I can't… I'm sorry…"

"I'm sorry too," said Alex getting madder by the second.

"For what…?"

"For letting you die here alone not being an option!"

Ian stood up, and slid the clip of ammo he had in the handgun he had taken from a gun store days before. Three bullets left' thought Ian. Then, he pushed the nearly empty clip back in the gun and cocked it sliding the black outer metal back, hearing the click, before letting go of the metal, which encased the silver of the barrel.

Alex was sitting in the driver's seat of the car he found. He was turning the key in the ignition repeatedly, but the engine wouldn't start. Ian heard Alex hit the wheel and yell "Shit!" while placing his head on the steering wheel. And eventually forcing himself out of the car.

"Guess we're walkin'" said Alex to Ian who was walking out of an alley looking tired.

Truthfully, Alex couldn't blame his friend. For looking tired. For feeling like all hope was lost. …For wanting to die. But it wasn't like Alex himself hadn't lost anything.

His mother was also dead, and he hadn't seen his father since he was three. Like anyone who had survived their first days and nights in this hell hole that was taking hold of almost every country, Alex just wanted it to stop.

What if this plague… this virus had killed everybody it could, and eventually died out because its host couldn't find warm flesh to feed on? Would the infection end forever? What if Ian and Alex were the only people alive? If that happened, the entire human race would die out with the virus.

"Only one country has been reported to have completely dodged infection," came a very recent radio broadcast. "The only country so far untouched by this viral plague is New Zealand."

"Too bad we'll never get there…" said Ian.

"Ian. You…have never been the type to just give up," said Alex.

"Well sorry if I haven't been myself lately," retorted Ian.

"Let's just try to get to this ARMY base, Ian."

"Fine…"

Ian stood up and turned to walk down the street, but stopped as if he'd suddenly been paralyzed.

"Dad…?"
