Chapter 1: The Outbreak.

Not knowing where to turn, Jason looks down at the balcony of his apartment. His long blonde hair swaying in the warm windy day in Atlanta. Seeing everyone going to work and rushing to school. He asks himself as he takes out his pack of Newports and lights a cigarette, "what am I going to do with my life?"

Jason was never really quite socially fit. He always kept to himself most of the time. He had a few friends here and there but he never really had any friends. He had long blonde hair down to his shoulders, average build, and square glasses. As he is about to turn back into his apartment, he hears a scream of pain. He quickly turns around, "What the hell was that?" He looked down from his balcony and sees a group of people running from God knows what! A loud obnoxious knock comes from Jason's door as he almost drops his cigarette. "Jesus, hold on," as he yells out.

Jason answers the door, a next door neighbor almost falls into his apartment. Jason looks at the guy with a worried face and sees a chunk from his arm missing. Jason screams out, "What the hell is going on here?" As he looks into the guy's eyes, Jason realizes that the guy is dead. "Shit, there's nothing I can do now," as he thinks what in God's name is going on? As Jason gets distracted for a few seconds, he realizes that the guy stumbling in is already dead and charging at him now. The guy that used to come over a few times asking for a cigarette or a cup of milk for his morning coffee is now dead but why is he still walking if he's dead? That question is racing around in Jason's mind. While the guy charges at Jason, he quickly dives out of the way missing his neighbors hand by an inch. He quickly tries to reason with the guy, "Ben, what are you doing?" Ben charges Jason again, barely missing him. Jason quickly goes for a kitchen knife and tries to stab Ben in the stomach. Without realizing what Jason has done, what used to be Ben is more pissed than ever. Ben reaches out with his cold wet hands and tries to grasp onto Jason. Jason jumps out of the way just in time. As he takes the knife from the stomach of Ben, he quickly does a knee jerk reaction and stabs him right in the side of the head. Panting and out of breath, Jason starts to get light headed. Thoughts of people walking around, feasting on people's flesh, is just way too much for him to handle let alone an actual human being. Passing out from racing thoughts and realizing that he's screwed.
