Zombie Story Intro... [Non-Game Related]

Heya guys, just thought I'd post something fresh up on here and a little bit different to expectations. A little while ago I started writing a little zombie story, only got as far as writing the intro (Took the intro of Outnumbered for it as well :P), but I thought I might as well post it on here, so if anything was to ever happen to my computer, I've got it safe here! So if your bored and fancy a little read, here you are! :) 

Daz-Noob, happy gaming!

P.S more gaming posts coming up soon, going to be covering Red Dead Redemption as I've recently finished the main quest, so gonna write about that for a bit :D 

It was midnight. I had just arrived back home from a night out in town with the usual lot. Nothing really special happened, had a few beers, and cracked out a few jokes, nothing new or special. Barely even got any laughs, let alone giggles due to my jokes. Ah well, none the less eh? Anyway, this is a story around about how I and six other strangers managed to survive through hell or what they like to call a “government testing gone wrong”, well read on and decide for yourself what you believe it is.

Just your average Saturday night with the girlfriend, I had just arrived back from the shop with the bread and milk for the morning; I can’t miss toast and a strong coffee any morning. Once I had put everything away, hung up my coat, I could finally sit down with my girlfriend and put my feet up. We had decided to have a night in together rather than going out into town or having friends over, so we ordered a take away pizza and got some beers in, oh and also the latest horror film on pirate DVD, cheap and cheesy I know, but who cares eh?  We put the film on and started munching down our pizzas. Things between me and her went smoothly, there was some talking, some kissing and some cuddles away from the scary bits. It was a very nice night in, and one of which was one of my favourite nights with her, but not to my knowledge at the time, my last night with her.

After the film was over, it was coming close to eleven and we both had to be up early or else the dog would end up tearing our bedroom up and shitting everywhere. This was an incident that had occurred one too many times due to oversleeping.  I went into the kitchen to put the beers back in the fridge when I heard some yelling and screams. I peered through the kitchen window curtains to see what all the commotion was about. Typically it was our next door neighbours arguing with each other again. The wife’s shrieks were so unbearable and were hard to even understand what the woman was trying to say. I thought it would be a good idea to crack the radio on, to avoid even hearing the screams. I now know why the radio was so hard to get working now, but at the time, I couldn’t receive any radio signal at all. I was convinced it was broken and suggested to get a new one to the girlfriend, but her being her had to prove to me as well as herself it was not broken at all. She fiddled around for around thirty minutes, even taking it apart at one point until we finally got a signal, but what we were about to hear was the start of things to come. It was a very weak signal and we could barely understand what was being said. We finally managed to get a perfect signal where we could understand what was being said.

“The virus has completely devastated over one hundred and fifty of the world’s major regions, and it is spreading rapidly. At this point in time we know of only one way of killing the creatures, destroying the brain. Be on the guard of any loved ones who may have recently been under any contact with the infected and if you find yourself in a threatening position, please, do not hesitate to act. Again, this is not a test, this is not a joke. We, as a species, are over-whelmed. We are outnumbered”

I looked at my girlfriend and she looked back over at me. The message played itself again and again and again. It wasn’t stopping. We were confused about what we had just heard and whether or not we had picked up a prankster’s radio station trying to be a smart arse. It was coming up to half twelve now, and we knew we had to get some sleep. We shut off the radio, the TV and the lights and went to bed. We spoke a little more about the message; she was confused and scared about what it could have meant. I just kept reassuring her that what she had heard was a complete fake and a joke. I told her everything would be fine and that we will report it to the police in the morning. She was clearly upset but agreed to leave it until the morning. She closed her eyes and I watched her sleep for the very last time.
