• The Lost: A New Reality: Part 1

  Listen while reading:
  

  After a week long nature trip, I was finally returning home.
  

  It was strangely desolate when I arrived…
  

  Having an odd feeling, I decided to walk around town to see what was going on.
  

  Everything seemed to be okay, until I saw the body of a man laying in the middle of the road.

  

  Horrified, I ran trying to find anybody that I could to help. There was no one.
  

  I walked to the nearest school, but the doors were chained shut.
  

  Unsure of what any of this meant, I walked around to the back. That’s when I saw…
  

  Scared, shocked, and confused, I turned to run. That was until a man pulled me to the side. He told me to stay quiet if I wanted to live.
  

  Being the only life I could find, I listened. He said there was a herd coming and to hide.
  

  As we hid, I saw…many of them. Running…and looking….unlike anything I have ever seen before.
  

  After they were gone, the mystery man gave me a look that said “follow”.
  

  We walked in the alleyways, and stayed out of the visible areas. I asked him what was going on, and he said he would explain later. Our safety was the main priority, and once we got back to a temporary safe haven everything would be explained.

  It seemed like everywhere we turned, there was dead body after dead body.
  

  How could all of this have happened during the short week I was gone? Where was my family? Where were my friends? That’s all I could really think about, were they dead, alive? Were they cannibalistic…monsters?

  We heard a soft groaning noise, but were unsure of which direction it was coming from. Being thrown into such a terrifying situation, I broke down. Tears pouring down my face. Even so, I dared not to make a sound. From what I could tell so far, any sound I made could mean death for the both of us.
  

  We approached slowly towards the sound.
  
  There they were tearing a man to shreds.

  “We have to help him!” I whispered with a tremble in my voice. “He’s already dead, ain’t nothing we can do for him” the mystery man said without a shred of remorse. “He’s been infected by their bites, their scratches, and even if there were something we could do for him, he’s been torn to shreds, his insides all over the place.” I couldn’t believe this guy, how could he leave a man there to die. The least he could do was put him out of his misery.
