Before the outbreak, I used to be very ordinary. I had graduated from a good college with a degree in botany and I settled in a small town called Greenville. Greenville was a relatively peaceful town. It had a very low crime rate of all the cities in the Midwestern USA. I bought a house that had a really big pool and it was quite spacious. With so much free space out in the backyard, the place was very good place to plant some beautiful flowers. It also helped my decision that the flower shop was pretty high quality and close by as well. The only catch was that it was built near the town cemetery. Creepy, but it was a good comprise. At least what I thought before. A famous urban legend that was told among all the folks was of Dr. Zombor Bossier. Born in 1979, Bossier was once a much respected scientist. He was very ambitious, wanting to defy death itself. He came to the town to perform his experimentations. A fateful day, he tried to demonstrate his genius through reviving a dead pigeon. But to his chagrin, the bird failed to live again. The citizens of Greenville laughed at him, calling him a sham.
The doctor snapped, running from the jeering crowd. Because of shame and anger, Bossier kept experimenting in his seclusion from the people. He never left his home, again. The police investigated the house, and found the doctor dead. According to the legend, he was buried in an unmarked grave. Five weeks later after the Bossier's supposed death, one of the groundskeepers of the Greenville cemetery was found dead with his brain missing and a grave unburied. In the mysterious grave, there was evidence that the coffin was smashed open, but there was no corpse within. Some people thought that grave robbers did the deed, seeing how the groundskeeper had his skull crushed with his own shovel, while others believed that the grave belonged to Zombor, who had returned from the dead.
If the doctor was real, then his current successor to the title of village idiot was my next door neighbor. He calls himself "Crazy Dave" and the "Crazy" is self explanatory. He was the kind of neighbor who believed in alien abductions and big conspiracies. When I asked him why he wore a metal pot on his head when I first met him, he responded by saying that it would protect his head from losing his brains. I tended to avoid him, but we shared the love of gardening and I could not resist talking him about the topic. He had always tried to convince me to have some of his special seed packages, but I refused. I really didn't know those packets would save my brains until that day.
The outbreak happened on Monday May the 2nd. I was out buying some fertilizer for my new germanium. Just as I carried it outside, I was attacked. Two bald green skinned people dressed in tattered clothing swiped at me. Their mouths were missing a lot of teeth and they smelled like rotting tuna. I smacked one of them in the face with my bag of fertilizer and bolted with my manure. I looked all around. People were being swarmed by more of these strange individuals, when I realized what the mob was doing. They were eating their victims' brains! Holy crap! They were zombies! I started to run back to my house even faster. But the crowd of zombies briskly walked after me, growling out their bloodlust and hunger for brains. Only a couple of steps to my lawn! Almost there!
Suddenly, I was tackled by three of the monsters. There was no way to escape. I could smell blood and raw meat from their breathing. Just as I was about to feel jaws on my head, I head a loud noise of something firing near me. One by one, the zombies that held me down were shredded into chunks of bone and flesh. It was truly disgusting smell.
"Hey are you alright there?" I looked up to see my saviour. It was "Crazy Dave"?
Before I could ask him anything, and dragged me to my feet.
"Come on! More of those zombies are arriving!" I looked at Dave's lawn. It was full of large pods of peas and sunflowers. They looked like regular plants except for a few things. The green plants had eyes and were firing peas into the horde of zombies behind us and the sunflowers had big eyes and smiles. I immediately fainted with confusion afterward.
