The Walking Dead

Your out of breath you can hear the undead behind you. They where hungry, and had lost the almost pitiful expression you had seen before. You could hear their screams as you run faster, angry with rage an earsplitting sound that made you run as fast as you could. You could see the swings ahead, and what seemed like people on top of the jungle gym. Crack! An earsplitting scream followed the large sound. Crack! Another scream followed. Crack! One more scream, and you could now see the source of the loud noise. There was a man and a woman on top of the jungle gym, the man was holding a rifle, shooting with the skill of someone in the military. You dared a glance behind you, 10 ft. away there was a zombie, and two more following 20 ft. behind the first. You tried to run faster but you couldn't. It seemed like the end! You took one last giant step pulling out one of the kitchen knives as you did so. As your step landed you heard a Crack! You pivoted on your foot swinging yourself around and falling backwards. You hurled the knife at the zombie only 7 ft. away, hitting it in the face. It dropped to the ground skidding to a stop 3 ft. away from your feet. The one remaining zombie who was only a short distance away from you dropped to his knees as another Crack! was issued from the man on the jungle gym. The zombie was shot in her eye, and as she hit the ground you saw that it was your ex-girlfriend. You jumped up off your butt and started running towards the jungle gym. As you reached there you puked onto the ground in front of you. The girl hopped down to see if you where alright. She was about 30 and very fit. You reckon she was a personal trainer of some sort. The other man was wearing a marine t-shirt, and had a finger missing from his left hand. You where right, only a marine could pull of shots like that... After talking with them for a few minutes you realize that you had been passed out for a couple of days. You didn't even realize how hungry you where untill now. As you start to devour a quick meal you where filled in on the event of the last few days. Evidently there was an outbreak of a chemical weapons plant in New Mexico where the government was engineering an experimental virus. The virus infected the first 100 workers and from there it was spread throughout the state. In only a matter of days the virus had spread all the way to Texas where you live. They kindly offer you some food which you decline saying that "i already have enough". You cant even fathom how you could have been out for that many days without knowing it. It was starting to get dark. You hadn't realized that you had spent a couple of hours at that park. Then the man suddenly climbed up on the jungle gym and looked out of his rifle's scope. "We've got company!" he says. The girl replied that they shouldn't stay there and should find a safer place to stay for the night. You take out your rifle and look through the scope. Sure enough another 20 of the "infected" where walking this way, it seemed they hadn't spotted you yet. You could easily take them out from this distance or you could find a safe place to stay for the night, like the girl suggested.
