Growing up there was always gory zombie movies like, World War Z and The Walking Dead, It was all fun and games because you knew you could turn the t.v off and go back to your everyday life, but what happens when the pixels on the screen become a reality? What happens when you're stuck in the position of those characters and no one's there to press the off button? You never expect it to happen to you, no one does. I mean, who would expect a zombie apocalypse? It’s an unrealistic situation that only occurs on the T.V screen and perhaps our nightmares,but never in real life, until now... It all started on June 2nd, 2022, It was summertime and I had just turned eighteen. Finally, my parents would let me go on a trip all by myself! I had been
I remember the shriek, a blood curdling shriek that tore at your eardrums. My initial thought was that someone had gotten hurt very badly but i remember everyone staring at me and i felt a presence behind me, i saw people running away and i immediately turned around to face a very pale looking man, almost like a corpse. He had blood stained teeth and dark circles around his eyes. i remember that day so clearly, it was terrifying, the man's eyes were black, pure black, and he had bite wounds up his arms, human bite wounds... i was only looking at him for a second but it felt like ages, after the second passed i remember standing up and running across to the other end of the room, everyone was running out of the cafe. Back then i didnt know what was going on but the man was a zombie, the woman that shrieked, she was his victim, i saw her on the ground that day, she was laying on the ground with bite wounds. back then i had no idea that she was going to turn into a zombie, but that woman did, she was bitten, if you get bitten then you shift into one of them. I don't know how the apocalypse started but that day was the first day anyone in ireland had ever seen a zombie. It was all over the news, every where, they kept saying get to shelter, it seemed like zombies were everywhere after that day, the virus spreaded so quickly. I remember packing my bags,i packed essentials
No electricity and a zombie apocalypse occurring. How great. i feel like i'm in an episode of revolution that crossed with the walking dead if you've ever seen those shows. I had to leave that rental car behind and start walking. it's scary being alone, makes me feel like im the only one left sometimes but that's not true, there has to be more people out there. I stopped at a local shop entering it carefully, it is really dark so I pull out that flashlight and carefully make my way to the tent section. The shop is trashed, broken glass on the ground, spiders crawling on the floors. I get back to the camping section and grab a tent and start to make my way back, but I hear a low growling noise, I shine my flashlight in the corner and see five zombies, fizz coming out of their mouths and then they start to run towards me. I shriek and sprint as fast as my legs go until I reach the outdoors. I have realized in the few days that the apocolypse has occured that zombies dislike sunlight, they are not like vampires where they turn to dust if they step outside but they do dislike the sun. I catch my breath and begin to walk to find a place to sleep for the night. I keep thinking of my family and wondering if they are okay. I called my mom three times, but she never picked up so I stopped calling because my phone is at 25 percent and this is the last time I will ever be able to use it unless to power decides to magically come back
Despite there being hundreds of video game releases every year, most of these games are unoriginal and therefore unplayable. There are countless video game genres, but one of the most popular genres in the past few years have been the zombie games, also called survival games. I was thoroughly convinced that all the games in this genre were clichéd and overdone, until I played the video game The Last of Us. Even though it is a survival game, the focus is not on gruesome zombies or gratuitous violence, making it already vastly different from the others. Instead, the focus is on telling a story. Between the gorgeous graphics, serene music, and flawless acting, it already goes beyond being just another “zombie game,” but this isn’t even accounting
Although the zombie metaphor focuses primarily on fear involving unconscious contributors and their mission of adding to their population, the fear of governmental control and how society responds to the epidemic is also an issue that needs to be considered. In this scenario, the viral outbreak is not only a threat to individual health but also to the stability of society as a whole.
Do you ever wonder what you would do if you were being chased by a zombie? Last October on the weekend before Halloween, I got to find out the answer to that very important question. My friends Ashley, Anna, Vikram, and I decided to go to the Great America Fright Fest. It’s a very unique event where the whole park is decorated for halloween and filled with lots of scary attractions for the entire month. It had been a sweltering day for late October filled with lots of cotton candy and rollercoasters, and as the sun sank lower into the sky the real fun began.
IT's hard to be a peasant during this Plague! Everybody is dying off, my friends and the older people, even innocent infants. It stinks of death everywhere I go, and we can leave or our lord will kill us. My mom is sick and no one likes her because they think she has he Plague It could be me next, who knows.
Ok. One night my sister and I were at my father’s house. He lives in Kingsville on 10 maybe 9 acres of land in this [small pause, looks at ceiling] I wouldn’t really call it a farmhouse, just a kind of small house out there. The previous person who lived in the house was supposedly shipped to an asylum, for, you know, normal stuff [pause] schizophrenic or something. My sister and I were at the house one night and we were cleaning up the house while my dad was on some sort of job out of the state and my step mom was at work in the hospital. We were doing our stuff, and then the power flickered, and came back on. We didn’t think anything of it. Then, outside of the door, we heard a noise, kinda like a dog barking, but like, just enough not so that we knew it wasn’t. So, we hear this noise, and start to get fre...
I woke up about 9 o'clock. As usual I turned on the TV. I saw a terrible image of one tower and a lot of smoke was coming out of it. Still not realizing what was happening, I went to another room to pack my stuff in order to go to college. At this time I was thinking that it was just a regular fire and nothing serious. When I got on the bus I saw unusual commotion among people. I could feel panic and fear among people. I wanted to use my cell phone to call my friend to find out if he’s ok, but it did not work.
Mass amounts of people will die, families will be separated, and peaceful ways of life will be long gone. Guard your loved ones, board up your windows and keep your gun under your pillow because you’re gonna need it. I have taught the facts, the opinions, and the theories on the possibility of a zombie apocalypse. I have explained with facts and statistics the ramifications of it if it was to happen, the way and speed at which it can spread, and the cruelty that will follow. You can protect yourself and the ones closest to you, but first you have to believe it.
As I lay there stuck I hear the sirens coming from down the road. “What happened” I asked myself. “Are my friends ok” my head started to spin. “BEEEEEEEEEP” I wake up laying in a small hospital bed, what is that noise. As I turn my head to the right I see my friend Maddie laying their hooked up to a lot of machines. The beeping wouldn't stop everyone was panicking before anyone even realized I was awake Maddie was rushed out of the room.
For most people, becoming a parent is one of the greatest moments in their lives. I never understood the true meaning of love until I became a father. Little did I know; I would also learn the tragedy of loss.
The garish sun illuminated the sky, and in the horizon there was a faint figure gallivanting through the fields, my sister. No place anywhere else in the world lies more peace and serenity than in the suburbs of Reykjavik, Iceland, a place full of wonders and where a zombie apocalypse is never a possibility. For this reason alone my sister and I had settled here in the suburbs after our parents had passed away back in Vienna. Post mortem indicated that they had died of a heart attack, “presumably old age had taken the best of them”, they had said, but my sister and I knew the hospital staff and the Vienna troopers weren’t conveying the truth behind my parents death. I had seen the zombie myself in quarantine surveilled by the Vienna state troopers
Nothing could be worst than your dad bringing up "THE CONVERSATION." Starting at age 5 I loved playing soccer,running up and down the field, making moves and kicking balls to the back of the net was always the way to go. Soccer meant the world to me and especially playing with my best friends since the day I started. My days would go something like this, go to school,get home,do homework then get ready and go to a beautiful fun day at soccer!After soccer I would go home sit on the couch and eat.I was a lazy one. That's why I hoped my dad would never ever bring up this conversation.... But he did anyways.
It was just a normal day. I was living at home with only me, John, and my mom. My dad had died trying to protect the village from a wild animal from the forest. My mom wanted me to go to the market and get some food. So I did. As I made it to the market I could see all of the things being traded. I went to were the food was being traded and traded some stuff for some food. As returned home I noticed a couple of strange voices I didn’t notice. I walked into the house. It got dead silent. Then all last I heard were gunshots until everything went black.
Do you have a interesting story about something that has happened to you? Well, I sure have one. This event may be enjoyable for you, but it definitely was not for me! This event is the most scary thing that has happened to me. I never thought this scary incident would give me a good lesson.
One day a little girl who lived in the Lehigh valley her whole life found out some news that was going to change her life forever, I was that little girl. It was the summer of 2011 and I was at Brookside Country Club a place that I spent most of my summer. I was eating dinner with my family after a long day of swimming with my friends. We had just ordered dessert and my dad told my brother and I to go in the parking lot and wait for him because he had something to tell us. At this moment I was scared I thought to myself oh no someone in my family had passed away. My dad came outside smiling so I soon realized it wasn’t something sad. I look at my older brother hoping his facial expression would help me come up with how I should be acting.
When I was seven years old I went on my very first holiday abroad, to
