Prologue

It is the middle of the night when he hears it. The scratching. Doctor David curses as jolts awake from where he was supposed to be on watch. Damn it, he had fallen asleep. Looking around the dark bus, he sees that everyone is still sleeping soundly...was it his imagination?

Doctor David exhales a breath, running his hand through his balding hair with frustration. He couldn't believe that they were in this situation...sleeping in a bus and hiding from them...the undead. When the alert first sounded that a top-secret government project had gone horribly wrong and the virus plague started to spread, people were suddenly almost slapped out of their daze. So now almost everyone in the country was affected that Doctor David knew of.

He was able to save some survivors that he had found in the city, hiding. They had found this bus and made it a temporary home being able to drive from place to place easily. It was the middle of the night and they were still asleep, so it had to be his imagination.

Doctor David leaned back in the driver's chair and sighed, his imagination, sometimes! There was silence for a few moments when he heard something...the scratching again. Freezing, he looked to his left slowly, seeing the hideous face of a zombie, looking straight at him with its soulless, bloodthirsty eyes. Time to move, quickly. The windows weren't bullet proof...and where there was one zombie, there were many.

It was just a matter of time before- a screech filled the silent night and Doctor David roared the bus to life as dozens of undead bodies crashed against the side of the bus, hungry for the living.
