Chapter 1: The beginning of the end
I sat on the cold bathroom floor more terrified than I've ever been in my whole life. There were a million question flowing in my head. Were those things really…dead? Did my roommate make it out alive? Is my family ok? Question after question after question. I covered my face with my hands from frustration.
" What's going on?" I whispered to myself. I could hear those things walking through through the hallways. They took very slow and steady steps. Maybe I could out run them I thought to myself. But there were so many of them, almost fillling up almost all the hallways of the college. I've seen what those things do to people. I couldn't stand to think about it happening to me. And what if they could run?
But I couldn't just sit there forever. I had to at least try to get out of the college. And that's what I decided to do. I waited until I heard the footstep die down until it was silent. I looked under the crack of the door and didn't see anything.
Now was my chance I opened the door very slowly. I looked to my left and to my right. The hall was empty. But maybe not for long. I ran to the closest dorm. I shut the door and locked it. I felt kind of safer in there. Even though I knew those things were still in the college.
That feeling of security suddenly died. For when I turned around I saw one of those things…eating someone. The thing looked up at me. I gasped in horror. " Tom" I whispered. The whole left side of his face was torn apart on some parts right to the skull, his cloths filled with blood . I heard it hiss and then all of a sudden it jumped on top of me sending me the the ground. It was trying to bite me. It was about to bite my neck but I grabed his bloody face and pushed him back. I managed to get up. But it ran towards me again. I grabed his neck this time. I twisted his neck and heard a loud crack. I was expecting it to die. But in my horror it was still alive. I looked behind me and saw a window. I ran towards it. But this college was 3 stories. I couldn't just jump off. The thing that used to be Tom was walking slowly towards me with his head dangling. When it got to me I grabed its bloody arm, pulled it towards the window and pushed it out of the window. My heart was still racing. I sat in the corner of the room curled up in a ball gasping for air.
I kept looking at the dead body in the other side of the room. I couldn't stand it being in here anymore. What if it turned to one of them. I walked towards it and picked the dead body up. I did not dare look at it's face in fear that it would be someone else I knew. I walked to the window and threw the body out. I layed down in the corner of the room thinking about my family and friends as I drifted out to sleep.
