This is a story fallowing a sofar unnamed character through a zombie out break. He goes to work just like any other day but finds himself seperated from his family but a outbreak.

 All these people where in the condition of the woman or far worse. The crowd screamed and tried to run. Some made it away others were too late. The camera man dropped the camera as he began to run. The last thing seen before the image cut was the reporters insides being made outsides.

                The office was completely quite. No one  spoke. No one even took a breath. I could feel the hair on my neck stand up. My heart raced as everyone in the room looked at each other wondering what they should do. I couldn’t think all I could see was the scene on the news. Then my mind flashed to my wife and daughter. They were alone at home!

                 I spun and charged to my office. My movements caused chaos of talking to break out in the office I left behind. When I made it to my office i hid under my desk with my cell phone and dialed the number for my wife as fast as I could. The phone rang for what seemed like forever then she answered.” Hey honey enjoying work?” She hadn’t seen the news yet.

                As I rushed to speak my head became soaked with sweat.” LOCK THE DOORS AND START BOARDING UP THE WINDOWS AND DOORS!” The loud sentence startled my wife.

                ” Honey what’s..” She stopped because I interrupted.” Seal the house babe and take any food and water upstairs with you, something’s going wrong…..i just saw people …dead people…eating people on the news, seal the house…” As I spoke I couldn’t hold back tears.

                “Are you serious?!” She said in shock. When it dawned on her I was serious she started to cry.”Honey I know , so am I. I want you to seal the house and get Athena  upstairs with you and hide, I’m going to go try to find a way home, I love you soo much.”

Quietly she responded ” Love you too, see you when you get home…” As the words came from her mouth I knew it was more like a prayer then a comment.”See you soon…” I kissed the phone and hung up. When the line cut and I slowly sat my phone on the floor. Sitting in the fetal under my desk I lost it and broke into tears……will I ever see my family again…..

    A few grammatical problems, but overall a captivating story. I would definitely continue reading if it were expanded upon.
