Introduction
I'm one of the last survivors. Almost all of the humans are dead now. Once the rest of us are gone, only the zombies will be left. It's hard to remember a simple time after you've watched your wife get eaten right in front of you, lose your son to a pack of zombies, and can't find any of your friends anywhere. I am a cop. I am a human. I am a survivor.
Not a Great Day
(Dave POV)
Beep, beep, beep. Beep, beep, beep. "Would you turn that thing off?" No answer. I turned over on my side to see my wife sound asleep. I reached over her, careful to not wake her, and pressed the snooze button. Groggily I got out of bed and got on my uniform, bullet proof vest, strapped my gun to my side, and walked out the door.
I got on my motorcycle and rode down to the police station, about three miles away. I got there to see my best friend and partner standing at our car (a police car), waiting for me.
"Dude, what took you so long?" Kyle yelled at me from across the clearing.
"I couldn't find my rifle, then I remembered that you borrowed it." I shouted at him with a grin on my face. "You better keep that gun in tack, that's my bull shooting gun!" No, I have never shot or killed a human before but I have killed a wild bull.
"Why do you always bring that story up? We've all heard the story about a hundred times each!" Shouted Kyle.
"Yeah, well what great stories do you have to tell?" Kyle began to open his mouth to speak, but closed it a second after. I smiled. "That's what I thought."
I started walking over to the car when Kyle asked, "Hey well how's the wife doin', her names Lisa, right?"
"We've been partners for 12 years and you can barely remember my wife's name!"
"Hey, I got it right!." Kyle smirked. "And how's your son, ummm…" Kyle looked up at me to see me frowning. "I'm just kidding. So how is Braden?"
I opened my mouth to answer but just then we got a call on the radio for a stolen car. We both jumped in the car and headed off to catch the guy and return the stolen car.
But I never knew that if I had just said, "We'll get the next one." It would all have been so much simpler. But I didn't know, and that's why this is all so complicated.
