I can't really begin to describe what we saw when jake opened the door, there was his dad lying on the floor, and his mom…..his mom was tearing at his throat blood was everywhere Jake screamed causing his mom to glance up at us. Me and brian took this as our chance to run and immediately took off running in the opposite direction we ran into a bathroom upstairs and locked the door, Jake screamed for a little more than 30 seconds.

We sat there in silence only broken by the sound's of snarls and flesh tearing somewhere down the hallway, I was standing looking into the mirror but not seeing anything really, I was too focused on what had just happened. Brian was sitting on the edge of the tub and decided to break the silence.

"you think Jake made it?"

I looked at him confused "are you fucking serious! Of course he didn't make it he's dead his mom's is eating his guts right now!"

I said still not believing that one of my best friends for the last 10 year's was dead we sat in silence some more and heard shuffling footsteps outside the door we both crowded into the bathtub and tried to remain as still as possible as the footsteps faded brian spoke up

"We should get out of here"

"what?"I stared blankly

"Uhm…." he said

I had no idea what to do but we couldn't stay locked in this bathroom forever

"alright what's the plan?" I asked.

"the way I see it Jake's bedroom is just down the hall and he's got a window that is only a short drop to their sunroom roof we could drop down there then into there backyard and…." He paused and caught his breath "jump the fence and go to my place."

"What if there are more of those things?"

I whispered we had just heard more commotion downstairs and I was worried we could be discovered "well maybe we should go to Jewels house?"

I thought this was a good idea and agreed we decided it would be good to find weapons besides tooth brushes and razors there wasn't much Brian took the shower curtain and took the curtain rod down and it was decided he would take point. We talked over our plans for a few minutes and then burst into action expecting something from a movie to happen Brian left the door first and I saw a flash as something dived at him the second he hit the hallway followed by Brian's screams I went out and picked up the shower rod and looked down the hall into Jake's room. Jake was on top of Brian and I could see Brian's intestines spilling on to the floor I held my lunch down barely and rushed downstairs knowing the plan had gone wrong I barely made it out the door before I heard the sound of footsteps behind me I knew that the second I looked I was doomed.

I couldn't help it I turned and Jake's mom and dad were behind me with Jake not too far behind and Brian was coming out the door with his innards spilling out and trailing behind him. I chuckled at the site then stopped myself ashamed. That quickly turned to determination to survive though I have to lose these guys I had ran maybe a quarter of a mile but they weren't giving any ground even worse Jake and Brian had managed to catch up my chest started to burn and I realized I had to lose them soon. I wasn't exactly a jock and I was known to smoke on occasion alright I thought time for a miracle or death I made a sharp right turn into a yard which threw them off a little but not much I turned into the back yard and a few yards down I saw a chance a pool one of the big one's it would take one hell of a jump but I saw a lawn chair close enough next to it to work but if I took straight off they would see me I would have to swerve around the houses.

I decided to go for it I wasn't in a mood to die tonight I swerved around the houses and my pursuers followed I managed to gain a lead on them and got to the yard and lifted my foot up and felt the weight of the chair tipping over and realized this might not work it has to I thought and got enough air to land in the pool with a splash that I thought the whole neighbor hood could hear I swam to the bottom and held on as tight as I could trying not to let any of my body parts float to the top I stayed under as long as my lungs could stand and came up expecting to find them all in a circle around the pool grinning wildly but I was alone I got out of the pool and looked at myself my clothes were sticking together I had to get home but then I remembered I had clothes at jewels house I'm not going to go as far as to tell you why but I knew that her house was closer. I took of towards the road and stopped I saw my pursuers down the street wandering around aimlessly I went back to the yard and hopped the fence and tried to realize where I was at.

I looked at the street sign and realized I was only a few blocks away I took off down the road looking all around for more crazies. At such a weird time I caught myself smiling and realized why, I'm alive.
