Imagine if all of your friends were dead. Sounds like a bad dream, right? Now imagine if in just a matter of hours, you were the only one left alive, and all of your friends that were dead came back, and they came back hungry. For me, this wasn’t a bad dream, but the bleak reality.

I never thought this would be how my life would end. Here I am all alone, barricaded in a high school government classroom. My friends and teachers, well the things that used to be my…

“Ok, what’s the… Continue

It turned out that the noise was just a tree that was blown over against the side of the Coliseum. Anyways..



We decided to take back roads and steer away from the main horde. About 25 miles down the road we started to run low on gas, so we decided to stop in this little town about 3 miles from the interstate. We pulled up to a CITGO to get gas and stock up on supplies.

The only thing out of place was you could hear distant sirens (Charlotte used to be highly populated, so police sirens and such were a common thing). The day before, we… Continue
