Surviving the Dead
Book by: Dakota Harvey
Chapter1 (v.1) - The very beginning
My name is Joe. When I first woke up that morning I checked the news. I always check it when I first wake up. This time, though, this time it was different. There were videos of chaos in a little town. The reporter called the incident a crisis. There in the video were people shooting other people. I was terrified, but it was only because the people who got shot kept on coming at the others. I thought it was some kind of joke, but who would make a joke like that. There were a couple of people who got shot that didn’t come at the other people anymore, but this was only when they got shot in the head. I got sick to my stomach. This was a horrible joke... this was a surreal moment.
It was only then I realized this was real. The blood stains and broken skulls still fresh in my mind. See, the little town in the video was called Catawissa. I had a cousin that lived up there. My cousin was shooting at those things. I immediately ran for the phone, I tried calling but it was busy. I then called his wife, she picked up but there was something wrong. She was yelling something horrible. Then I realized what she was yelling, “The dead, the dead got him”. She suddenly started to scream louder, “the dead, the dead are coming oh my god the dead”.
She was telling me the last thing she would ever tell me “get, get our family to safety. Don’t hesitate to shoot them in the head. Don’t get bitten, if you get bitten you change into one of those things. Oh my god they are here, my god they are here”. There was a high shriek and some gunshot but the phone call ended. I had to sit down for a few minutes to get my thoughts together and then I finally yelled “get your asses up”. In a few minutes my brother John and my son Ben was standing in front of me.
