Running Man

A Story by LandonTheCreator
"

Zach has been the only survivor of a zombie apocalypse and must fight his way to survival

"

He couldn't do it, he had been running for months now. He had no choice it was either run or die. He didn't have anything to live for, why wasn't he afraid of death?  His family, dead. His parents, dead. His friends, dead. But most importantly his girlfriend. It wasn't just another break up. He witnessed her die before his very eyes. So ever since then he's been on a mission to get revenge for everyone they killed. Oh- you don't know? About a month ago a plague spread across the USA called zombrophycosis. Basically the entire USA had been killed. Luckly for Zach Morris, the guy who is running, he was on vacation in Russia. But when he got back he was not expecting this.


June, 16th 2015


 He slowly opened his eyes. He slept well that night, probably the best he's slept in months. He had spent the night in an abandoned house with parts of the roof rusted off. He loaded his AK-74U and his Glock and headed downstairs. He almost fell on a broken step. Zach wanted coffee but there was no maker around. He heard a knock on the door and busted out his Glock and opened the door. Then put several bullets into the rotten forehead of a zombie. "FIrst kill of the day, what an honor for you." He said with anger in his voice. He headed out the house and jumped in his 2011 BMW. He was happy to find that just laying around on the streets. Zach drove for about 3 miles hitting countless zombies. Then he saw his zombified brother. Alex Miller, he had the plague. Zach put the gun to Alex's face with tears in his eyes. Knowing he couldn't do it, he put force on the trigger. He finally put the gun down and tied up Alex and put him in the trunk. Zombie or human, he loved Alex.


He drove for a while as he fiddled with the radio trying to get signal. He eventually gave up trying. He was almost out of gas, so he left the car. He carried Alex on his shoulders for about 7 miles until they reached the city of Charlotte. They were now in West Virginia. They made their way over to the community center. Then he spotted endless waves of zombies. Zach whipped out his AK and started firing. At seven o' clock p.m. he killed about six or seven hundred zombies. "Seven hundred down... only five million left to go." He said as he wiped both blood and sweat from his forehead.He quickly made his way into the local WAL*MART where he ate dinner and slept the night.


June, 17th 2015


He woke up with a bad neck cramp. He snapped his neck about four times and the cramp left. He once more picked up Alex and left for a new car. It was there he found a 2014 jet black Camero with steel rims and pitch black windows. "Sweet!" He said with excitement in his voice. He was shaking as he drove. He didn't know why he just was. And he couldn't stop. He drove until he had to pee at nine thirty-seven p.m. then he made his way into a gas station bathroom. As he left he swiped some honey BBQ chips, those were his childhood favorite. He was exhausted. He slept in the car that night as zombies beat on the windows countless times.


June, 18th 2015


Zach woke up to a zombie grabbign his leg and trying to bite him. "Great, another broken window." He sarcastically said. Zach used to be a happy guy but when your family, friends, and loved ones die in front of your' very eyes things tend to change a little bit. He finally made it to a city called Lynchburg in Virginia. He had some old military friends that lived on the outskirts of Lynchburg in a small town by the name of Gladys. He turned sharply onto Pigeon Run road. He tracked down house 103 and went in. This is where is old friend Landon used to live. He sat in Landons' old recliner he loved and just stayed there for hours. Then finally he stole some guns and headed for Washington D.C. where he would get his revenge. 



June, 19th 2015 a.k.a. The Final Day


  Zach drove all night. He was now in Washington. Finally, now he would get revenge. The Queen of the zombies was located on top of the white house in her hive. He grabbed his guns and left the car. He battled through an entire cities' worth of zombies. By the time he reached the White House he was almost out of ammo. So he took his knife and his last gun adn ran for the hive. When he entered the hive it was dark, like pitch dark. He felt the walls and they were sticky, like jelly or glue. He probably killed another good one or two hundred zombies in there before he reached the Queen. When he reached her he punched her in the face. It was punch after punch. But Zach was completely out of ammunition. The Queen beat him down until he was almost unconscious. But even with his temporarily blurred vision he spotted a shard of metal. The Queen was about to finish him off when he grabbed the shard and threw it at her head. It hit her directly in between the eyes. She made a loud moan as she fell to her death. Zach could barely stand but he managed to make it over to her and he softly said "That's for everyone you've killed.." Zach walked away and got in his car and drove away. When he got to ohio he set up at a house in the neighborhood of Alum Creek and he saw something down the street. He got his sniper and looked at it it was a mysterious glowing morphed creature. He put a bullet in the sniper and said abruptly "Round Two......"
