Two Months Ago
Snow covered the ground and footsteps could be seen going in all directions with no meaning. The sun was high in the sky when the first screams could be heard at a lab downtown, piercing the silence. There had been various tests going on when one of the scientists sliced his finger on a slide containing a mutant virus unknown to man, within minutes the virus had spread through his veins and infected his body. He continued to infect his coworkers until the whole lab was infected, then started to roam into the streets. It was rush hour and there was an accident right outside the lab in the intersection, traffic was backed up for miles. The workers from the lab broke into the streets and infected everyone in sight who wasn't lucky enough to be killed first. The Infected then continued to infect the world.


Zane sat on his roof looking at what used to be his neighbor hood and was now a wasteland. Few people survived the first day and those who did barely survived the first week after that. The world was infected in two weeks tops, from america to asia. He knew his parents and most of his family was dead by now and most of the people on his street. The only reason he has survived this long was because his father was paranoid about the end of the world and stocked a years worth of supplies for a family of five in the basement. Zane hadn't invited anyone in since the outbreak, too paranoid about people stealing his perfectly protected house. It had a rain well for running water, solar panels for electricity, and an electric fence to keep the infected out.

Zane watched the Infected wander aimlessly around the street, shuffling their feet. He knew that if they found something to eat, they would be much faster and deadlier. They also had a little common sense, but mostly they just wandered around until they spotted something or someone to eat. Sighing, Zane got up and walked over to the stairs going back into the house. Once he was inside he paused to make sure nothing got in and went down two more floors to the basement into the bathroom. He only used the bathroom in the basement because the noise didn't carry outside. That was another thing, the Infected had developed sensitive hearing and moved towards sounds.

He used the bathroom and headed over to the floor to ceiling bookcase in the corner, picking up Romeo and Juliet and opening to the beginning. Zane used to think it was so stupid to fall in love with a person that you just met, then the outbreak happened and his whole outlook on life changed dramatically.
Zane sat down in the corner and started reading the book, forgetting that he was at the end of the world.
