I could hear the crackling of a fire in the distance. The world had been destroyed due to dumb people making dumb decisions. Science fanatics had been researching a virus that had been developing inside dead human remains, but what they didn't know was that working with these animated remains would not only kill them but destroy the world. My father had been working when it all started. Mother and I were cleaning the house as it was the weekend and I had no school. He should have been coming home soon and we wanted to surprise him, but he never came back. Instead, a flesh-eating dead version of him came. My mother, worried about him, rushed up to see what was wrong. My name is Susan McGrain and two months ago I watched as my father ate my mother alive.As I stumbled through the forest to the sound of the fire I cautiously checked every shadow, behind every tree, and listened for any sounds. I couldn't tell if I was hearing things or not, but every few seconds I thought that I heard something following me. Spinning around for the twentieth time I saw what looked like another survivor, but I couldn't be sure. Taking a step backward I watched as the figure slowly turned towards me and smiled."You must be Tom McGrain's daughter," it said, "I must say that my first subjects did their job fantastically." The figure cackled before taking a step towards me, "You see," it continued, "I have been looking forward to this day for a very, very long time."Its smile grew larger in only a matter of seconds. The wider it grew the more unnerved I would get, The more unnerved I would get the more panicked I would get, the more panicked I would get the quicker I would run. So I did a reasonable thing and ran. I ran with all of the speed I could muster forgetting all of my precautions, I ran for that fire, I ran for the hopes of survivors.
