The style of this story is kinda like a hybrid of real life and minecraft.
This story was meant to look as if it was in anime
It's been a month since the event... the reason THIS happened. I still remember how peaceful these streets were before this apocalypse happened. If you were smart you would leave the city, but some people well.. they made some bad decisions. Many militias have been formed along the way, some of them help you out, they give you food, water, and may spare a bullet or two, but the others.. they're monsters, when these assholes come into play they have have one goal and one goal only; making your life as fucking miserable as humanly possible, if you see these 'men' you better make a run for it or make every bullet count... but don't try waving the white flag... they will just strangle you with it. My role in this shit storm is kinda in between if I would say so myself, I killed people yes, but only in self defense and when someone tries to harm the innocent. But when this incident happened everything escalated VERY quickly but yeah I still remember exactly what happened on that day.

"Hello sir may I help you?" I asked nonchalantly.
To be honest; I HATED this job more than anything, I loved serving the customers but it was the manager and my boss constantly breathing down my neck that made me rather 'angry'.
"Yes, I would like some soda for now." The man said.
"Alright, and your dinner?" I asked while writing the order on a notepad.
"I haven't decided yet." He replied firmly.
As I prepared to leave I heard the managers voice on the left of me.
"Hey, Nikolai I need to have a word with you." He said while entering a small office in the back of the restaurant.
'Awesome.. just what I needed.' I thought sarcastically.
'Well you might at least hear him out before jumping to conclusions Nikolai.' A mature radioed voice echoed through my mind. (The A.I. sounds like the ghost from destiny.)
Ignoring the voice I entered the office and took a seat.
"I'm afraid I have bad news for you." He started.
'Well, time to look for more jobs when I get home. Anything left to say before I get fired Foxtrot?' I thought.
'Come on lighten up, there's a 35% chance of him to say what you're expecting.' Foxtrot said reassuringly.
'We'll see.' I thought feeling slightly reassured.
"You have been promoted." He said, with an unreadable face
'Bullshit...' I thought.
"Well, if you could excuse me I have to wrap the day up." He said, getting up and announcing to everyone in the restaurant. "Alright people, we are now closed, these will be your last servings along with your orders." He announced while making a line towards the exit.
"Hey wait.. can you explain how the heck I got promoted?" I tried asking. But my efforts were useless as he already walked outside, rudely shutting the door on me.
'Well.. that happened. Congratulations, I think your parents would be very proud of you.' Foxtrot said approvingly.
"Yo Niko, here is the order for table eight!" A worker shouted to get my attention.
"Huh? oh.. yeah, I will be right with you." I responded. Taking the meal I made my way towards the customer. "Ah.. sorry for the wait sir things have been eventful today." I started to apologize only to be interrupted.
"No need to apologize." He said then added, "Congratulations though." He said, smiling.
"Wait wha-" I started to question, but he interrupted me by putting his hand up.
"You're a loud one aren't you?" He laughed.
Confused I looked around me to see everyone staring at me. Some were laughing a little and some looked at me disapprovingly.
'Go and check out. I'm pretty sure your colleagues will understand. And also the fact that you got promoted, I think you earned it.' Foxtrot said.
Without hesitating I went to the back of the restaurant and checked out. 'Colleagues? I wouldn't think this as a high class job.' I thought as I walked to my car, a black 1970 Dodge Challenger.
'Well... yeah I just wanted to make them sound professional.' Foxtrot said, then asked, 'So what are you going to reward yourself with?' The voice in my head asked curiously.
After entering my car I responded, 'What do you think? Finish watching breaking bad of course.' I thought while turning on the radio.
' Wh- really? I was expecting you to-' Foxtrot started only to be interrupted by a distant sound of an explosion and screaming. This immediately got my attention as I looked at the back window of the car.
"What the." I thought out loud. Then suddenly the radio station changed into a broadcast.
This is your national emergency broadcast system.
This is NOT a test.
Civilians are to stay indoors at all means necessary and await rescue. For those in a vehicle or have one you are instructed to leave the city.
If you have a child or loved ones missing please report to your local police department.
"Oh shit..." I said unable to move due to shock. Is this an attack? Are there terrorists invading? Is my mother s-. I stopped at that last question. No... she WILL be fine. As I tried to reassure myself my body moved on it's own, grasping the gear and the wheel I drove my way into the city.
'Uhh.. Nikolai?! I don't know if you heard the broadcast but we have to get OUTSIDE the city.' Foxtrot said nervously.
I have to make sure. I have to...
It took a while for Foxtrot to notice what I was doing. 'Nikolai she will be fine! She is probably on her way out the city by now. You would be putting your life at risk for nothing!' The more he tried to reassure me just made me more worried and I slowly speed up.
'Nikolai! Stop this instant! This is ridiculous!' As Foxtrot realized that I would not stop for nothing he eventually gave up. 'Fine. Don't say I did not warn you.' He said, ending his efforts.
As I neared the city I checked around me. It was complete chaos as the roads were filled with abandoned cars, also people screaming in terror as they ran in all directions and several buildings on fire. 'What the hell happened here?' Then being the presistant guy Foxtrot tried once more.
'Roads blocked. Maybe we sh-' I then angrily interrupted him.
'No... I will not be stopped by just a few cars' I thought.
'Well tough guy.. there's absolutely no solutions to this proble-' As he was talking I stepped out of my car and ran towards the apartments, where my mother lived.
As I was running through the alleyways I heard many screams along the way. 'What's going on?! there's nothing here, why is everyone screaming for?' As I reached the end of the alleyway and back on the streets I saw something that answered my questions.
What I saw was unbelievable. There were zombies ripping and eating flesh, skeletons that had a bows and arrows, weird looking green creatures with four legs and no arms, tall black weird looking figures with purple eyes and some sort of purple aura surrounding them.
"What the... fuck?" I whispered.
I guess I stayed in the open for too long, because before I knew it, three zombies were chasing me down.
'Run run run!' Foxtrot yelled.
Without hesitation I sprinted away into the alley across the street. "Where the hell did these things come from!?" I yelled while tipping near by trash cans and debris in their path hoping they would trip so I can get some distance away from them. And to my luck they didn't, they just jumped over them.
'Gate up ahead!' Foxtrot said.
I then looked ahead of me to see a locked gate... damn it. 'Alright you have done this many times, don't slip up now' I thought trying to concentrate. As I was nearing the gate I prepared myself for what I will have to perform.
'Ok.. jump... Now!' I thought as I jumped on a stone building with my right foot, then immediately used all my force to jump once more on my right giving me enough air to reach the top of the gate and climb over it. resulting me landing on the other side with a loud thud.
I grunted at the impact of hitting the ground. "That.. *gasp* was too close." I said exhausted. My thoughts were interrupted by pounding coming from the other side of the gate.
"You think they can break through that?" I asked.
'I don't think I would like to stay and find out.' Foxtrot calmly replied. 'Wait where do you think you're going?' Foxtrot asked as I started walking.
'You know where.' I thought as I started to get back on track.
"Alright where am I..." I silently said as I brought up my phone to check the maps. "Ok just a block away."
To my surprise Foxtrot did not respond, I guess he officially gave up on trying to convince me to go back.
As I rounded the block I saw the apartment building I half-smiled at the achievement of getting this far. As I walked towards the apartment lobby Foxtrot spoke.
'Don't go in..' Foxtrot said with a hint of depression.
'What?' I asked.
'I'm sorry Niko, I really am.' He said sympathetically
'What are you talking about? The fuck is going on here?!' I thought barging into the lobby and darting up to my mom's apartment.
'You don't have to see her, just turn back now..' He said with a final effort.
"Shut up!" I angrily yelled as I kicked the door open.
My mother was there, just not how I wanted to see her. Her body was laying on the ground motionless, she was shot with four arrows, her left arm bit, and the side of the room was blown up.
The sight made me grit my teeth in sadness and anger. "How.. long?" I barely said.
'Huh?'
"How long did.. you know about this?" I said trying to fight back tears.
Foxtrot hesitated before saying, 'Since the start, when you were halfway to the city.'
'First my dad, and now my mother...' I thought while looking outside the window at a supermarket.
'Now what are you up to now?' Foxtrot asked.
'I'm going to survive this. Crying won't bring her back, I need to focus on the future.' I thought still trying to stop the sadness from exposing itself.
'You know I still remember when you were five or so, you really have grown up since that day. Foxtrot exclaimed.
And with those last words I walked off and never looked back. Since this is survival now, people will do anything now even kill, I need to get better. And I think I know just the right guy to teach me.
Well that was fun, anyway I decided to put in a quote from another video game, who ever finds it gets a cookie :P
And tell me if you think it's somewhat like minecraft (I'm kinda skeptical that it's not)
