Stan raised his machete over the living corpse sprawled out on the floor in front of him. he stagers unsteadily looking down at the corpse desperately trying to reach for him. "I'm sorry this had to happen to you" Stan says sympathetically as he brings the machete down hard on the skull of the undead monster effectively killing it in one hit.

"With that out of the way" Kyle replies as he's kneeling on the ground next to the cash register. he hastily puts 2 cans of beans in his back pack while giving Stan a menacing look as Stan kneels over the corpse of the now dead zombie

"Dude.." Kyle pauses thinking of what to say "its been 2 months since the outbreak and you still aren't used to killing them yet?".

"Them" Stan says withought breaking contact with the corpse "you know they were real people before this" Stan replies with a slightly agitated tone.

"Well they aren't people any more" Kyle quickly adds as he stands up with his back turned to Stan looking on one of the shelves. "now help me look for food, id like to get back before sundown."

Stan rolls his eyes and stands up walking away from the corpse over to one of the shelves in the grocery store.

"GODDAM!" Kyle angrily expresses "you are such a pussy, Kyle turns to face Stan "you couldn't even shoot an animal when we went hunting with your uncle Jimbo"

Stan suddenly lunges at Kyle pulling at the collar of his coat knocking him into the shelf while shaking him rabidly "FUCK YOU, DONT YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY UNCLE AGAIN!" Stan shouts loudly into Kyles face. Kyle balls his fist with his right arm punching Stan and knocking him away from Kyle, while Stan holding his face in pain, Kyle then quickly picks Stan up by the legs and slams him to the ground.

"Are you done" Kyle says breathing heavily as he steps over Stan to get to his backpack near the register. Stan still on the floor, grabs Kyle by the leg and pulls him back causing Kyle to fall to the floor. with a loud thud, Kyle falls head first on the tile floor. Stan slowly stands up feeling with his arm and grabs the shelf slowly hoisting himself up with it, while Kyle still on the floor pushes himself back up on his feet. before any word could be spoken between the two, moans of the undead are heard outside

Kyle looks at the front of the store "Oh shit" Kyle repeats three times in rapid succession. "we need to get out of here!" Kyle turns his head and looks at Stan "sounds like there's a hundred out there"

Stan shouts "we need to ge-" suddenly one of the undead bursts through the front window making an entry point for the rest to follow. Stan and Kyle both grab there back packs and run for the exit with the undead at their heels. as the boys run past the almost never ending rows of shelves they finally make it to the rear entrance and exit the now infested grocery store.

The boys are met with sunlight as they exit through the rear of the building and quickly turn around and close the door.

"Do you think they can get through" Stan says out of breath.

"No...no I don't think so, the door lock looks pretty thick, Kyle says who is panting like a horse who just ran the derby walks to the side of the building and leans against it.

Both boys look around and notice they are in a closed off courtyard fenced all around both boys return glances at each other but don't say a word.

"So... we should climb that fence to get out, they'll be expecting us back by now" Kyle anxiously says as he points to the fence in the corner of the court yard.

As the boys walked to the corner of the court yard they both noticed a 10 foot brick wall standing in their way of freedom.

"Ill boost you up" Stan said putting his back to the wall while locking his hands together "put your foot in my hands and ill boost you up" Stan adds.

Kyle withought saying a word he put his boot in his friends hands and climbs the wall.

"Ok your turn Stan" Kyle grunts as he reach's down as far as his arm can reach and connects his with Stan's. as soon as Stan reaches the top Kyle motions for his friend to sit on the edge of the wall with him.

"Dude your an asshole sometimes" Stan starting the conversation off while dusting off pieces of dirt on his spot.

"look man I.." Kyle pauses for a second thinking on what he thinks he should say "I'm sorry" Kyle looks with an apologetic face "I shouldn't have brought up your uncle like that, I knew you to were close" Kyle also adds while he dangles his legs off the edge of the wall.

Stan staring off into space "I'm sorry too, "I shouldn't have acted that way but Jesus sometimes you piss me off" Stan looks at Kyle and smiles causing Kyle to blush and let out a short chuckle "you do have a hell of a right swing ill admit that". Stan admits both boys laugh.

"I miss these times" Stan adds While pulling out a water bottle out of his pack and taking a swig then handing it to Kyle.

Kyle laughing admits "you mean the times when we would go on some little adventure and not have to worry about being eaten by the dead or other survivors trying to take our shit?.

"Exactly" Stan simply states and takes another swig of the water. as the boys sit there enjoying each others company. as the sun starts too set like an alarm clock telling the boys to get back before dark.

"Well.. lets get to the car both of them jump off the wall and run to the car in the front until they reach the front.

"Shit there's three zombies outside we are gonna have to make a run for it and hope we don't die"Kyle says with chuckle.

Both boys sprint to the car and are already in the car before the dead even noticed they were there,the boys began their trip home.

1 Hour later

As Stan looks out the window from the drivers side he faintly sees the sign of the south park elementary school outside.

"Kyle don't forget to flash your lights" Stan remarks.

"I know I know" Kyle repeats "you don't need to remind again".

The car flashes its light and a faint light in the school appears the side garage door opens and the boys pull the car into the garage as both boys get out the garage door closes and there three figures stand in the dark a more memorable voice calls out to turn the lights on.

"You guys are finally back" Wendy says excitedly as she runs up to Stan and embraces him. as the lights turn on inside the garage Clyde, Kenny both enter the garage to see them Kyle runs up and Pats Clyde and Kenny on the back as they go into the entrance to the school ill see you tomorrow Kyle shouts to Stan while leaving the room.

"So how much supplies did you get" Wendy still smiling while holding a clip board. Stan leads Wendy to the back of the car and opens the trunk, "Our last stop at the grocery store didn't work out so well..." "BUT we did get some stuff id say we got enough food and water to last everyone here, id say for a week"Stan says wittingly.

"Ok" Wendy replies focusing on her clip board writing "this is good enough ill have someone look through it tomorrow morning lets just get some sleep" Wendy says while yawning.

" Wont argue with you there, I'm beat lets get some sleep. Stan puts his arm around Wendy and they both enter the school.

"We do have a slight problem Though" Wendy says through gritted teeth as there walking down the hallway.

"What is it" Stan looking concerned.

Its Eric he's doing it again... Wendy says while rolling her eyes.

Ill talk to him tomorrow Stan replies also rolling his eyes.
