Zombie Invasion?

Posted 02-01-2009 at 07:53 PM by OddTragedy
Chapter 1

It starts out on an ordinary day, like most stories do, with the sun shining and a light breeze floating through the air. At least thats how it was outside the window of my office. I couldn’t wait to go home, but the day just seemed to drag on. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, I get great pay, awesome health plan, and paid vacations. I just can’t stand the long days and the whole suit-and-tie getup.

Six thirty finally rolled around, I gathered my things , and put everything in its proper place, then I left my cramped and stuffy office for the day. I was the last to leave as usual, but that never bothered because I’m not a people person. As I walked to the elevator, I heard a small crash that sounded like a stack of papers hitting the ground. I figured is was just someone working late, so I didn’t pay it any mind. I wanted to get home and relax, and just left without even thinking to help who ever was there.

I get to the parking garage, and get in my car. As I drive home I will tell you about myself. My name is Venks, I’m 22 years of age, I think I am a fairly good looking guy. Black hair, slender body, and sexy brown eyes. I’m not conceited, I just like the way I look. As I stopped at the last traffic light before my house, I saw a strange man standing on the corner. He seemed to walk very slow, but he eventually got to the other side of the street.

I got to my drab apartment, and walked to get the mail. The mailbox was about a two minute walk away from where I parked. I saw the same guy walking to the bus stop, but as he got there he seemed to attack the other woman that was there. It looked like he was biting her. I ran to my house and called the police to tell them of the attack. I looked outside towards the bus stop, but no one was there. There was however a trail of blood leading to the apartment complex.

There was a crazy man on the loose, so I went to my next door neighbor to warn her. I knocked and knocked, but there was no answer. That’s when I noticed another blood trail leading in the apartment. I was worried about the beauty that lived next to me, so I kicked in the door. As I searched the house, I saw blood everywhere. In the last room, I heard a strange noise, like a moan or grunt. I rushed to the back then into the room, and there i saw the man attacking Rebecca. How could someone attack and destroy something so magnificent, divine, and radiant. A large crash came from behind me, and I jumped. The man quickly turned to look and saw me. He glared at me with glazed eyes. I turned to run when the woman from the bus stop appeared in front of me. She lunged to attack, but I pushed pass her.

As I ran out of Rebecca’s apartment I almost tripped over a large mirror that had crashed just a moment ago. I quickly went into my house and locked the door. I sat at my computer and went on the internet. I searched for “Slow moving, flesh eating, and mindless” in an online dictionary. “Zombie(n):An undead soul, possessed and sent out of the grave to thrive upon the flesh of the living. Usually slow moving and mindless.” Zombies?! It can’t be! They aren’t real! Just then was the sound of the door breaking, so I went to the window and climbed down the fire escape.

“Hello? Anyone here, I’ve some to save you.” I heard coming from my apartment as I climbed down. Just as soon as I heard hope, it was gone with every scream of the mysterious man in my apartment. I kept going down, and slightly mourning the man.

There was no time to sulk over someone I didn’t know. I got in my car, so I could drive to the near by hospital. I pulled out and started to go down the street, when I realized, these people are everywhere. In the streets, on cars, and all through out the buildings, I just hoped they weren’t in the ER.

This is just the first chapter. Tell me if you like it, and Ill write more~

Hmm. I think I would have sex with the protagonist of the story. Especially if my name/alias was Joey boy or Max. /nod

You shouldn't need our approval to write more. Also, I don't recommend showing unfinished product to people you don't know. If you want a real, unbiased critique of the writing, you should take it to an English teacher/professor that you have studied with. That being said, I didn't bother to read it. It could be very good.
