Hi, I'm Connor Michaels I'm 13 years old and in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Life is difficult, but in the end I'll hopefully get through it.
Chapter 1 – The Fish Fry
I slowly walk out of the woods, almost like a phantom emerging from the shadows; the screams of people fill the quarry. As I approach the screams I stumble across a camp. The camp was like any other camp tents nestled at one edge of the site, and then at the other a camp fire surrounded by people.
"Pass the fish, Dale," A man in a police outfit said, passing his plate over to a maybe mid 60 year old man in a fishing hat.
"Sure do Shane," Dale says laughing. I haven't seen people or cooked food in days; I've had to live off of whatever I could find in the woods, sometimes all there was half eaten squirrel or bird, and other days I could only find insects. I stare at the fire eyeing the fish when in the corner of my eye I see a walker approach a girl with light blonde hair. She stands next to the white RV's door. I had to do something and fast! I find the biggest rock and hurl it at the RV. The girl turns and her smile and laughter immediately turns into a frantic scream.
The girl stands motionless as the walker approaches.
"Amy!" A woman screams as she pulls out a gun her pocket and fires. It hits the zombie in the temple, the zombie collapses immediately. The group at the fire is now frantic as zombies approach from all sides. A girl about 10 get attacked, blood sprays from her neck as the zombie continues to fest.
"Sophia!" A woman with a shaved head screams tears rolling down her face. I stand motionless like Amy when hands grab my shoulder. I turn about to stab the zombie with my machete when I realize it's a boy around my age with short brown hair, and dirt smeared on his cheeks.
"Carl…" I say looking astounded to see him alive.
"Connor!" Carl says hugging me. We finish hugging and I turn around to be greeted by a walker. I scream as I slam my machete into its skull. It falls as I turn back to Carl who looks shocked at what I just did.
"Rick," Lori screams as Carl and I turn to see Rick, an Asian guy, a black guy, and a redneck with a crossbow storm into camp with guns.
