Ok so my old story failed so i’m trying something new based off a dream I had comment on what you think.
————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Welcome to my world Owen Nix, thats the name and I’ve lived one hell of a life. Let’s begin from the start. I was born in a small town not far from where I live today. The town was Warsaw, OH but after financial problems occured we moved here in Castile, OH. It all started about 4 days ago when my brother Derek, and I were driving home from the baseball game in Louisvile when he turned on the radio. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing..A zombie virus? The man’s voice sounded sincere giving off directions on what civilians should do. My brother turned off the radio and turned to me.
“Just some stupid shit, its like what they did with The War of Worlds.”
” I, hope so.” Trying not think about it.
“Just trust me, I’m pretty tired so were gonna stop in Columbus ok?”
“Yeah it’s fine.” Not wanting to begin a fight, anyways he was probably right.
After about 4 hours of driving we hit Columbus, nothing really looked strange. Traffic was heading both in and out, each passing pair of headlights seemed to blend together as my eyes began to become heavy. I realized how tired I was since it was 3:00am and now I was certain that nothing was wrong.
“Don’t you fuckin fall asleep, I gotta stay up so do you!”
Yeah he was definetly my brother, so for another five minutes I remained awake until we reached the hotel. My brother bought a room and we headed up towards our room. 5th floor, large room, two beds, a t.v and a very small bathroom. At that point I guess it didn’t really matter, I would have slept in a barn if I had to. My brother left as we had just settled down.
“Where ya heading?”
“I gotta smoke”
Yeah he still can’t smoke around his 16 year old brother and I don’t blame him if mom ever found out she’d kill him. It’s not something hes very proud of but yet he does it to relieve stress or just cool down after a long day. I turned on the T.V, nothing about a zombie virus…..oh well. I turned on sportscenter and fell asleep. I awoke to the sound of Derek coming in at about 3:45. I turned to see an object flying at me. Ever tried to catch something in dim lighting without your glasses? Yeah it doesn’t always work out well. So they object clunked me in the head. Jesus Christ did he throw a fucking rock at me?! As I turned on the light I saw the object in fact was a gun. His paranoia got the better of him. My brother was an ex-Navy man and like most military men he was always paranoid of invasion or something to that effect. In his trunk he always kept supplies like medication, dehydrated food and water. Underneath in the secret compartment he kept 2 automatic guns and enough amunition to kill everyone in Columbus, how perfect. As I looked at the gun I didn’t bother to question him, with me around he took no chances. I awoke to my brother shaking me. God what time was it, it felt like I barely rested. I rolled over to see the clock say 6:30.
“Any reason we might be waking up this early?” I asked grabbing my gun.
“Miltary style, let’s get home. Double time let’s go!” I followed him out the door not wanting to dissapoint my C.O.
“How’d you get the guns through here last night?” Now worried that we weren’t on the run from the cops.
“I told the guy at the desk of what we had heard on the radio and he let me bring them up.”
“Bullshit he wouldn’t just let you walk through with loaded weapons!”
“They weren’t loaded.”
“Then what’s this?” showing him my loaded clip.
“What I brought in before the guns.”
That guy defenitly should be fired. We exited through the side exit, my brother was on guard, so I followed making sure to keep my eyes open. If this zombie virus did exist, I was not going to be killed eaisly. We walked stacked until we reached his car and we did a quick survey before getting in the car. My brother jumped on the interstate and our voyage continued once more. We passed cars pulled to the side of the road and some were driving like us, some heading towards Columbus, some heading the same way as us. It was a perfect day the sun was out, not a cloud in the sky and the temperature was perfect yet, it seemed eerie. Now my paranoia was setting in and I kenw it. Everything seemed normal yet, I was more alert than ever, gun in hand, ready for action at any minute.
“Easy, we’re good as long as I keep on the road ok?” As if that was going to soothe my tensions
“We’ll be good when we’re home, until then my guard is on full alert.” He didn’t resond he knew I was not going to be persuaded.
We drove for only about 3 more hours until we hit the town.
“Full alert 200% somethings not right.” My brother ment buisness so I put down my window and aimed my gun out the window.
There was nothing, sure our town was small and quiet but not even a dog was out.
