As the warm light illuminated the survivors faces, They discussed the escape route from their temporary holdout. James Rolfrix was a young gentle man in his twenty’s had a stern look on his at almost every moment of day. His hair was short cut with spiky hair here and there along his head. He was a mild tanned person, He was one of the group leaders on this scavenging party. “We can't stay here much longer those things out there will break down the barriers by tomorrow evening” Sulfric said in a angered tone. He was an older man clean shaved head, with a slight beard growing around his chin and lip. “We know that all ready, We are trying to find a way to get out safely but you keep interrupting our planning” snapped James. Sulfric slumped back into the dark corner were he was sitting.
“ So far the only way out is going up to the roof of this convenience store and hoping onto the bar next door and run for it” Said Ben calmly. Ben was a big muscular man with a lumber jack shirt. People back at the colony called him lumbering Ben or Big Ben. “so it's decided at morning we pack and and go along with the plan... Everyone off to bed” Said James. The others followed the directions. Tom,James,Ben and Sulfric went to bed. Tom is a thin wiry kid only 18 and survived all the madness. He is called running Tom. The store was Dollar general in a little town. No one calls towns their name only rename them. Its a new age of America.... and the earth.
The morning light seeped
through the holes of the wood barricades. But everyone was already up before dawn, the sound of the monsters tearing at the barricades awoke them in alarm. There were more of them now almost a herd of them. A herd is 20-30 of the freaks as they called them. “ OK everyone up to the roof NOW!” James yelled at the group. They scurried up one of the shelves in the store into the ceiling. As two people got up the Freaks broke through.
“Shit!” Ben said in surprise. He pulled out his make shift club and started to knock shelves down to delay the shambling monsters. “James GO! I have these bastards!” Ben yelled. James didn't have time to warn Ben that they got in from the rear entrance. One of the freaks a teenage boy that had goth clothing and material on him came up grabbed Ben's shoulder's and took a heavy chunk out of his neck. Blood started to squirt and ooz from his fatal wound. “NO!” Exclaimed James as his friend fell into the shambling sea of lifeless bodies. He stood on top of a shelf stunned and frozen from the scene. He watched them tear skin,flesh,and meat from his once alive friend. They bit and gnawed at the corpse Ben looked at James for the last time... so much pain in his eyes so much fear.
He then closed his eyes and fell into deaths cold and bony fingers were he slept forever. James felt a sharp tug on his shirt and found himself on the roof with Tom and Sulfric around him. “What happened?” Asked one of them “Wheres Ben?” asked another he couldn't tell their voices apart he could only re see the horrible scene of Ben's death. He managed to stand up and reach the edge of the store. All he could see was a mass of Freaks
everywere coming from houses stores and the nearby woods. They were trapped no way to get away from it all. They were stuck here until they starved or were killed. They all knew there was no hope or chance of surviving this happening.... The freaks didnt know they were here. But someone did and that was the thing about this new world for someone to survive they unloaded their burdens onto other people. Like a relay and now this was their turn and they would lose the race.
