You ever notice how, in the movies, the world falls apart in a day when the first infected rises? Well, turns out that its all bullshit. The world stays alive and running for weeks before it collapses, when people they thought were dead take a chunk out of them. People who no one knew were infected dropping dead and coming back up, ready to dine on the flesh.
The only people that it didn't seem to effect was anyone under the age of seventeen; all of them seemed to have an immunity to the disease. As you got older, it began to fade away and you were just as susceptible to it as anyone else. Some people had a natural immunity to the infected, but most would die anyway from the diseases these things carry. A few people, though, had a very strange… never mind, I'll deal with that later.
In the beginning of the outbreak, there are plenty of areas that are totally fine for humans. Hell, in some areas that may even mean they don't know about the infection. But as the time rolls on, these areas begin to get smaller and smaller until finally, that final town falls.
Of course, that happened about two years after the first signs of the infection, one of which happened in my small, Midwestern town of House Springs. There were only six places that had the initial outbreak: my town, Venice, Moscow, Toronto, Seattle and a small city in Maine. Derry I think is what the news guy said.
But wait, where are my manners? I should have introduced myself, after all, you did manage to stumble across my records. My name is Derek, about six feet one inch, and Caucasian, just so you have the image properly at this time I have brown hair with streaks of white due to…certain things.
I think I will start from the beginning of the outbreak, from where I was at ground zero. It was 2010 and I was helping chaperone a local Homecoming dance for some quick cash for that Saturday…
A/N: Hello friends! Just letting you guys know how the story will be working. Anything that is written in bold is going to be anything from whatever the present is, coming from Derek. Anything not is of course going to be the story at hand.
I decided to write this based on something that has always irked me about anything zombie related: The world falls apart in about two second after on person takes a munch on someone. Look at the Dawn of the Dead remake, everything went to hell overnight. E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E! I am not going to do that, instead it is going to be a slow moving outbreak but with different types of zombies. What kind? You'll just have to see.
