I sat down on the bed. This was not happening it cant be it's not possible it's just in the movies I closed my eyes opened them again the screen still said the same thing the dead walk. A million thoughts ran through my head part of me wanted to scream another voice in my head told me to hide in the cupboard. I took a deep breath I had seen loads of zombie films read a million books the zombie survival guide World War Z Day by Day Armageddon listened to were alive only one difference they had guns i had a mop stick. I went in to Ty's room yelled at him to get up and watch the news in my room after a bit of grumbling and me putting my foot up his arse he got moving. I went down stairs to wake up Jon.
Baldy wake up
He groaned and told me to piss off
I turned on his TV and told him bailiffs were trying to get in this got him up. Ty came down the stairs and the 3 of us just sat there watching the news. The aerial view had pulled away from the hospital now and you cold see the things making there way to the junction where I had seen the policeman there were a couple of dozen or so in a rag tag group lumbering up the road. The reporter was in hysterics as a policeman made his way towards the group his pepper spray in hand you could see him shouting at them to stop he pulled the trigger and the spray hit the thing straight in the face not that it seemed to take any notice of this. The officer tackled the man to the floor another two officers joined him forcing it to the floor they jumped on it's back and attempted to handcuff the thing again they hit it with the spray the officer moved closer this time the thing squirmed under the two officers the officer moved closer still it looked like he was trying to negotiate with it it lurched out suddenly and caught his hand the other 2 officers pulled it away and managed to cuff it. The bitten stricken officer stumbled back behind the makeshift barricade of police cars. There were a good couple of thousand of people working in the hospital not to mention patients visitors and people only in for quick appointments. If they were having so much trouble with 1 how were they going to deal with thousands? The news did a fairly good job of convincing Ty and Jon that my story was true and if they needed any further convincing I showed them my coat covered in that foul smell an glass shards and the pole covered in blood.We sat there and watched the news for another 20 mins or so the police had moved the barricade further back and the number of monsters was swelling at least a hundred now if they kept up this direction they would be coming our way. No one said anything we just sat there Jon was the 1st to speak what are we going to do? Shopping I said the other 2 looked at me like I had gone mad. It was time for our monthly shop any way our cupboards were empty apart from a few beers half a loaf of bread a tin of tuna and more assorted bottles of alcohol. No way to ride out the end of the world on that. We quickly drew up a plan me and Jon would head to the supermarket Ty would stay home lock the doors cover the windows turn off the lights and keep an eye on the news making sure the things didn't decide to put on a massive burst of speed and me and Jon getting caught out in the open. Ty had no credit on his phone Jon handed him his I made sure i had mine on me I rarely take my phone with me I don't know why and even when i do i rarely answer it that wouldn't be happening today. I headed upstairs to quickly change I thought about the thing s Zombies and tried to see a positive at least they seemed stupid and slow the 1st 1 i meet couldn't work out a pull door and they only seemed to stumble around the place at least they were not 28 days later zombies that was something. Clio the cat was on my bed when I came in and gave me a grumpy look showing her disdain that I had dared to interrupt her peace and quiet. I pulled a face at her and pulled on a pair of black jeans red trainers now for a shirt I looked o the side and smiled a grey t-shirt with a white first aid cross on it it read Zombie Apocalypse rescue team. I pulled it on and a hoody I got from my Resident Evil 6 collectors edition seeing as my coat was stinking. As we left I told Ty to take all the dirty clothes he could find in the house and put them in the wash if I wasn't overreacting this could be the last wash for a while. I also told him to fill up the bath sink all cups and bottles with water. Me and Jon headed out the door making sure it was locked behind us. We walked in to the town center I'm not sure what I expected to see mass panic stores being looted cars overturned bins on fire but none of that was happening people were still carrying on as normal. Humanity's arrogance and blindness to the truth they could be marching towards extinction and they only thing they could care about was getting in that last bit of shopping. Me and Jon didn't talk much we mainly just smoked we walked past the train station and entered the supermarket every thing was so normal again no panic buying no fights over the last roll of toilet paper. We grabbed a trolley and headed in making straight for the tinned section. Normally we get frozen items but this time it was tin after tin of food I didn't even know what half of it was but the expiry date was in 3 years so it was thrown in the trolley. We also got 60 2 liter bottles of water a lot of dried food 60 cans of cat food for Clio I hope we don't get desperate enough to eat it or the cat and 1 or 2 things that would expire quickly but made life a bit more pleasant bread eggs milk need to make a note to eat those 1st. We did get a few odd looks as we walked round and a few comments about how 2012 had not happened little did they know there end could be right around the corner. I rang Ty to find out what was happening the monsters had made it past the Tesco at the hospital the police were constantly falling back and there ranks had swelled to at least a thousand apparently military vehicles had arrived but there had been no shooting ...yet. Jon waved at me I nodded and he got a kilo of tobacco of the world is going to end I want to at least enjoy 1 more smoke .The old lady at the till gave an exasperated look as we piled everything on to the counter. We started putting things in to boxes a member of staff fetched for us it took me Jon and 3 others to pack everything up and me having to run off to grab a tin opener that would have been embarrassing in a survival situation. I made sure to tip the people who helped us pack and offered them another fiver each to carry it out to the taxi for us. The driver was a nice fellow a jolly Indian man he asked why we had so much food Jon lied and told him we were going for a world record attempt the biggest picture ever done with food items. This seemed to satisfy the driver all though he told us we were completely mad he mentioned what had happened at the hospital we feigned ignorance of the matter. I rang Ty and asked him if the house was OK he said it was and the things had not made much progress they had stopped to terrorize the occupants of nearby houses and the group had split in to different directions but a large number still heading our way the police had been wiped out a band of 30 soldiers were apparently were firing in to the creatures with little effect not aiming for the head probably. Ty also told me all possible water containers were full up and all the windows were covered I told him to unlock the front door and to give us a hand the driver pulled up outside our house I tipped him in the car this encouraged him to give us a hand. We said good bye and he drove off we looked at all our food part of me now wanted the end of the world otherwise we would be living off tuna and baked beans for the next 6 months. We decided that was enough for the moment we sat down and watched the news the things were still on a steady course to our place. I went up stairs and in to my room i pulled the boxes away that were in front of my cupboard I pulled the clothes up from the bottom and pulled it out it was still in the box maybe I watched far to much TV but having this made me feel better. In the house we had few options for weapons we had stopped off at the local sports store we got a 4 cricket bats the biggest lightest we could find and a couple of golf clubs so to defend our selves against thousands we had cricket bats golf clubs a couple of pool cues left over from a table we broke a couple of months ago oh and a mop handle plus what I had in the cupboard we had done all we could. Let them come we have done what we can to prepare if we make it we make it if not well dam it.
The evening followed soon
