I was never really religious. Didn't really believe in heaven or hell…But now I see my life before was heaven…my life now is truly hell…what happened on the train was only a little before I seen this hell I now call life.
"Attention all passenger, trains are being halted to the nearest station, sorry for the inconvenience," The intercom voice announced abruptly.
After the man on the intercom finished, the train quickly erupted with whispering and chattering of people trying to figure out what was going on.
"Must be pretty bad to shut down all the trains," One man said.
"I wonder if its terrorist," An elderly woman said.
"I just talked to my sister and she said there were addicts or psychopaths attacking outside her office building," Said a young lady in front of us to another passenger
I glanced over at Judy; her face was pale and filled with fear.
"I'm sure everything's going to be fine, don't worry," I said in a sympathetic tone.
"I'm fine, I really am," Judy said
"I'm sure it's nothing like the attacks," I told her trying to make her feel better.
"I said I was fine Claire," Judy commanded.
"I better call into work and tell them I'll be late," I told her as I reached into my purse to pull out my cell-phone.
"Me to," Judy said with a sound of depression in her voice.
"Hi you've reached Bingham & Stein law offices, you have reached us outside of business hours," A tape recording said. I hung up my cell-phone and stuffed it back in my purse.
"How strange," I thought, "They should have opened an hour ago, and that message should have been turned off as soon as they opened."
Suddenly the breaks on the train started to squeal loudly as we started to pull into the next station. The train passengers started to quickly file out. The station was a madhouse. Crowds of angry men and women filled every inch of the area, people were ranting and raving, and it was so crowded people almost fell into the tracks.
"Hey were only about a block from Midtown, we can just walk," Judy said as she gazed down at the subway map
"I guess," I said with a worried tone in my voice. We both managed to make are way out of the hellhole, before things got worse. When we stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the subway, we saw the city was more than chaos.
"Oh my god," Judy shouted. The entire street was packed with cars most were abandoned, or demolished with flames, and explosions. Only about an hour before the city seemed peaceful and now it was filled with the sounds of screaming, sirens, and gunshots.
"I bet there's been an attack!" Judy yelled out panicking. She almost fell to her knees, but I caught her quickly.
"I don't think so, this seems different," I told her, but we were interrupted by the sounds of a screaming women.
"Hey what the hells going on?!" Judy hollered as she grabbed the woman's arm.
"My baby! They attacked my baby! They killed my little boy!" The woman shrieked, as tears shot out of her face.
"Who did?" I yelled to the women, because of the intense sounds around us.
"Those monsters!!" She cried out falling to her knees.
"What th-" The women screaming cut off Judy
"There they are!" The woman screamed repeatedly. As I turned around I saw a small group of people running up the street, but they didn't look like people anymore. Their eyes were filled with evil. Their clothes were tattered; most of them were covered in wounds, one man looked as though his throat had been ripped out. Judy and I stared in shock. Just then we heard the women scream, I turned around and saw that the lifeless boy she was holding before was suddenly full of life. The small boy was latched deep onto the shoulder of the women. Blood ran down her arm as she screamed, and was quickly mauled by several others.
"Oh my God!" Judy yelled out. I quickly grabbed her hand and we dashed away. Some of those things didn't seem interested in the woman, and dashed after us. We quickly rounded a corner and pushed up against a wall. The things ran past, not seeing us.
"Quick, over to that store," I whispered to her. We both ducked low and managed to get over to the store without being seen. As we were about to enter I heard Judy scream. I looked over and saw one of those things about to rip out her throat, but it was knocked down by the sound of a gunshot.
"Get out of here!" The police officer shouted. She was killed though by the things that came out of nowhere. We both got away and just kept running down the road. We stopped by a wall, and took a breather. None of those things seemed to be around. Judy screamed and fell to the floor.
"What?!?" I yelled out, as I looked over and saw a head peak around the corner. I jumped to and fell to the floor.
"Shhh!" The old man yelled. He was an old man around his sixties, bald, and stubby. He held a .12 Remington 870. He motioned us to come with him, and we quickly got up and followed him. He led us to a convenient store, and we walked inside. We looked around, and saw it was pretty much empty. Judy and I followed him up the stairs into a room that said Staff Only.
"This way," He told us unlocking the door. We stood at the bottom, and ascended our way up the darkness of the steps.
