Chapter 1

Third day on the run by myself, my group had been overrun by a group of the dead and I had been separated. I didn't try to find my way back to them because it was only my second day with the group. I felt better on my own anyway. I was riding low until I could find a car with keys in it. I could see I would have to fight again because there were five zombies sluggishly creeping down the road towards me. I draw my axe and start to sprint towards them. The first zombie I kill by sliding the sharp axe through his skull, throwing half his head onto my feet. I kill the next two almost at the same time by removing their heads, trying to avoid them falling on me. The last two almost got me when I stumbled to the ground but I swiftly slice through the leg of one. The other, I shove the axe through his stomach sending his innards splattering onto the ground. I quickly finished off the one with no leg. I started sprinting down the road, the sun falling behind the trees quicker than I could blink. I found a port-a-potty that was at the side of the road, I squeezed all my gear into the tight space along with myself. No sleep came for me that night. I could hear the zombies outside humming like a broken down car.

At the first sign of sunlight, I got out my axe and busted through the door. I ran and never looked back; I expected a whole heard of the dead. I slowed down and looked back, ready to fight, when I did nothing was there. I could see an old car in the distance and I prayed that it had the keys inside and gas in the tank. It had little gas left but that was good enough. I got in and took off speeding not knowing my destination. I found a couple other cars along the way and siphoned gas out of the tanks. I travelled all day and all night, I told myself no stopping. I went on driving, I slowly drifted into a dream. In the dream, I was back with my girlfriend Marley, we got separated in the beginning of the outbreak in this town. I still clenched to hope that I would find her. She leaned in to kiss me and just when I was about to kiss her…..

I was in and out feeling like I was dying. I could hear a soft beeping noise, then I blacked out again falling into a nightmare. In this nightmareThird day on the run by myself, my group had been overrun by a group of the dead and I had been separated.

I was in and out feeling like I was dying I could hear a soft beeping noise, then I blacked out again falling into a nightmare. In this nightmare, I closed my eyes to kiss Marley, but when I opened my eyes she was missing half her face, she lunged for a bite. I awoke with a start, realizing I was tethered down to a metal bed, surrounded by machines. I heard the creek of a door and a man came towards me.

"Stay calm" this man warned me in a hushed tone.

"Why I am I tied down? Why am I here?" my tone getting increasingly more demanding after each question.

The man grabbed a piece of paper and a chair and sat down beside me.

"I am the Governor, you son, are in my town Woodbury. Who are you?"

"Let me out of these tethers and I will tell you. I won't hurt anyone" I demanded.

The Governor undid the tethers around my hands. I rubbed my reddened wrist to try and calm the irritation. I sat up looking around at the make shift medical room, the Governor just sat there writing on his note pad.

'My name is Kory, how did I get here?" I asked.

"When we went out for a supply run, we found you in a very smashed up car. You must have hit a fallen tree" he explained. "I wouldn't usually have taken you in because we are low on supplies but I have a job for you" he offered.

"What job?" I asked not really having a lot of interest.

"I need a new guard for my town and you look like you have experience, if you want the job take it, if you don't, I need you to leave" the Governor said as he was getting up to leave.

I thought about the offer, with me being in no shape to travel I yelled after the governor with my reply "Okay. I'll do it," I agreed. He turned with a smirk and said,

"you start in three days". I lied back down and shut my eyes praying that I didn't have another nightmare. i wasn't so lucky. This time, Marley was dressed in a blood stained white dress and she was reaching out for me but I couldn't get to her. I awoke several hours later to the smell of the beans beside my bed. I devoured the beans and washed it down with the sweet tasting water. I sat back on the bed and got the picture of Marley out of my wallet. I stared at the tear soaked picture wondering when or if I would ever see her again.
