I'm laying in bed, staring at the ceiling. I was thinking about whether my crush Aaron would ever even think anything of me. I mean, I got that even though my parents were good friends with is, he wouldn't give two shits about me either way. He's popular, I am not. He's gorgeous, I am not. Those kind of things don't fit with his category of a woman. By then, I was half asleep fantasying about something that would never happen. I shot up out of my bed when I heard my Mother screaming. I sprinted down the stairs, nearly falling on my face. I ran into the kitchen, eyes wide. A man, was ripping my Mother's neck open. She was screaming for me to get the knife. I couldn't move. For a full minute I watched the man eat my Mother alive. I finally came to my senses and grabbed a knife and stabbed the man in the back. He didn't stop. I stabbed him over and over, her spine began to show through his back. I took the knife and chopped his head off, the body falling onto the ground. My Mother was leaned against the wall, her breathing jagged. "I am going to call the police!" I sobbed as I picked up the phone. "No, Rose,"she whispered. A single tear fell down her cheek. "Why not? You are bleeding badly!" I let go of the knife and stared at my bloody hands. They were shaking. "Police can't stop these things, soon enough the whole world will be full of them," She breathed heavily. "What things? Mom what the hell are you talking about?" I screamed. My little brother Ethan walked down the stairs, holding his ears as he stared at my Mom. "Gather a bag, filled with food and weapons. Make sure you and Ethan are safe. If you come across one of those things, stab them in the brain. Its the only way to kill them," she stopped breathing. "MOM! MOM!" I screamed shaking her by her shoulders. After about half an hour, I gathered everything. Food, water, and weapons. Ethan was crying, and I kept yelling at him to shut up. Something terrible was happening. I had no idea what it was.
