This should be fun don't you thinkā¦
My name is Sonny Kiriakis, I'm here wanted to ask you something. Answer me, Do you believe with Zombies or Undead? Hey! Answer me!
Well, I don't believe it at first but now I do believe it. My life is completely a mess, my parents divorced when I was ten. I live with my grandfather Victor in my step grandmother Maggie for many years in a town called Salem, but they both left me on my own when I turned 18. I know, my life has not been full of happiness since I was a kid. What else can I expect? A girlfriend? Haven't I told you? I'm gay. I don't fall in love with girls and that's the secret in my life. I never came out before, I didn't want to be bullied.
Well, that is my story.
Sunday morning in spring time, a perfect time to go to have a holiday with family or just walking with your partner and having a cup of tea. For me, it's all just a dream. I don't have a boyfriend and I live alone, I work for myself inside a small cafe near the town hall. I'm the co-owner with a guy name Chad with some money my grandfather gave me before he left, I got friends in here and I work almost every day. I go to school in the morning and go to work in the evening, that's my life. Do you think that suck? I don't know but what else I can do? If I don't work, I don't get paid. I live in here also, in an apartment just to save money. It gives me a chance to prepare and clean the entire area before the cafe open for the customers.
So here I am, standing in front of the cafe entrance. Waiting for the customer to come, the clock struck at seven am and usually people already crowded this place. It's strange though, I never see the town hall guarded with many cops and soldier. Well, maybe there'll be a military training or something. "Where is everybody?" I mumbled, even the staffs is not coming in time. I'll just turn the TV on.
'Attention people, today the Government already declared an emergency situation, to every civilians we recommend to stay inside their house and lock all doors and windows. Never let anyone get into your house' Yes, I'm watching news channel but "Lock the doors?" I muttered. I just don't get it, we're on business here and what is going on?
'Keep your distance from a sick person, we recommend the civilians to stay their own house and please wait until the situation change. Never go outside and don't let any stranger to come into your house, that's all for now. Once it's safer outside, we will bring you information about the on-going situation. For now, we will broadcasting from the studio here. We'll be back for another information as soon as possible'
"What?" I mumbled, I'm here alone and what should I do now? Lock all doors and windows is what I'm going to do. I walk fast to every doors and windows, closed it and locked it. I run back to the front of the TV to watch another news today, I mean I need to know why we must keep all doors locked and what is the emergency situation? I just don't get it. I change the channel and here we are.
'New York is on fire, we're reporting from this helicopter until it's safer to go on foot. This unusual phenomenon is spreading throughout all of the countries. We can see all people are panicking and even some of them already shooting a gun. This cannibalism phenomenon is happening in whole world. We still doesn't know what is the cause of this chaos, - We're- Shoot-' lost connection? I don't understand, cannibalism? What is happening out there? Maybe this is the reason why the town hall is guarded by cops and soldier.
'We're reporting from Salem University Hospital, the numbers of deaths already exceeds more than 10.000. After the government released the emergency situation, we advise you to stay in your house and don't come outside until it's safer. We received a report from London an hour ago and now London is set on blazed and we also received reports from the White House, the president already evacuated and the other countries are maintained for the International order. We also received reports from Australia and Indonesia, the total deaths already exceeds 17% in Australia and 23% in Indonesia'
My eyes widened open, since when all of this chaos happened? In one day and all is changed. I can't believe this, what should I do to protect myself? Cannibalism? It was like an inside a movie or something. Once you're bitten, you'll turns into a cannibal? What a classic!
"What the heck!" I screamed and fell onto the ground. What is happening with that guy? I saw a man blood over his body, walking to the town hall. One thing that's really scary is, he's only have one arm. Shit! I forgot to cover the windows with the curtains. That man is walking so slow, I'm scared. I can't see it anymore! I felt like wanted to puke.
'Knock-knock!' 'Knock-Knock!' Someone's knocking the door, I wish it's not that man. First, let me take a peek for a second. I look up and "Abby!" I said with relief. I run to the entrance and open it. Abby get inside with a big bags and just run towards every windows and covered it with the curtains. I locked the door back and sit on a chair, looking at Abby. Abby is my cousin.
"Abby!" I greeted, she looked at me with a smile on her face.
"I'm glad you opened the door!" She rushed to me and hug me tight "I thought you're were dead!" She continued.
"No I'm not, what is happening out there?" I asked, she looks so surprised and sit next to me.
"Listen, the world is changed" She said, "Changed?" I asked. "Yeah, changed. People eating each other, and I'm glad you're still here" Abby said with a breath of relief.
"But from the news, they told us to stay at our house and never go outside..." I said, she hold my hand and looking straight into my eyes.
"My dad is dead, some people broke into our house and killed him. I ran into my room and packed all my stuff and jumped from the window, take a sprint into here" She said with a sorrowful face "Wait, have you called Ben?" She asked, Ben is one of the waiters here. He's one of my friends and yeah I forgot to call him. "No... Not yet" I answered, Abby took out her phone and call someone. "Pick it up... please... Damn!" Abby put her phone on the table and bury her face in my chest.
"What happened?" I asked. "No answer, I'm worried about him... do you still have any space here? I'll decided to live in here until the situation change..." Abby asked, begging. "Well, yeah. You can take the staff room, there's a bed inside there" I replied, pointing at the staff room. "Gee, thanks!" She said happily, walk and bring her bags into the staff room.
"Ben?!" Abby screamed, I ran as fast as I could into the staff room and see Abby standing beside the staff's bed, with Ben on it. "Uhh... what time is it?" Ben said, yawning. Abby put her bags and sat on the bed. "So you've been sleeping here? All night long?" She asked. "Yeah, I was too tired to drive back home" He replied. "Ben! Do you know what is happening out there?" I said, walk closer to him. "Well, all that I know is my sister was calling me when it's still dawn. She told me to go home soon, she's talking crazy. She said that our neighbor is cannibals and well... I just go back to sleep" He replied, rolled his eyes.
"That's true... everything is chaos now... cannibals... or zombies we could say..." I said. Ben laughs so hard and stand up, walk towards me and patted my shoulder. "Are you still dreaming?" He said with chuckles. "He said the truth!" Abby yelled. "What? Really guys, we're late to work now! Dang!" Ben said, took his shirt on the bed and ran outside the room, but before he got out I already grab his hand and take him back inside the room.
"Sit!" I ordered. He looked at me with an angry expression. "What the hell Sonny?! You maybe my boss but don't talk to me like that you're not my dad!" Ben yelled, I stood back and sat on the floor. "You can't go outside, Ben.
You go outside it would be committing suicide. You'll die if you go outside..." I said, bury my face in my hands.
"Suicide? How about my sister and dad? I need to get to my family now!" He yelled.
"Well, I think you need to take little peek before you go outside" I said, giving him a suggestion. He nodded and walk to the front door, Abby unpacked her stuff and then rushed to the bed. Covered her face with a pillow and cries.
Now we're alone in here... trapped inside this cafe... All Alone...
