THE NIGHT BEFORE
Eric Stone sat on the bench on the front porch of his house. He looked at the green grass and the clean cars which lined the homes of Hill Street. He watched the children playing Hopscotch on the road, and smiled to himself. This was paradise. He found it was a great relief from his High School troubles and his teenage problems. Life at fifteen was okay.
Later that night, as he sat with his family watching television, an alert suddenly blocked out the show they were watching. It was an alert. It came up with a flashing symbol, and a newsreader announced-
"A mysterious plague is sweeping America, and many other parts of the world. What started as a riot has now spread into a massive massacre, as many people line the streets, trying to kill anyone alive. They have been dubbed zombies because of their behaviour, which appears to involve eating flesh. This is not a hoax, and the following images are completely authentic."
It showed clips of people running down the street, some of them covered in blood. There were people screaming as these 'zombies' attacked them, and bit them on the neck. Blood streamed from their necks and they collapsed on the ground, only to be attacked by more 'zombies'. The clip ended. The newsreader came on again.
"The virus is said to have reached some parts of Australia, and scientists are doing their best to quarantine it. It is suggested that everyone should stay inside, lock their doors and windows, and keep out of view of people on the street."
"Oh my god" Mum gasped, and my Father was looking at the screen with a look of disbelief. My little sister started crying. I tried to calm her down. "Don't worry Katrina, we have great technology in this country, we'll be fine. The virus will be gone in a week, I promise" I gave smiled at her comfortingly. She smiled back. "You're right Eric, we'll be fine"
How wrong I was
