One day, when I was walking along the street. I heard a funny noise coming from a bin. I decided I would go over and check it out. So I went over to the bin and when I opened the lid, I saw a zombie in there! I screamed, "Aaaah!" and I ran down the road and over the hill.
When I opened the door, I called mum, no answer. So I kept calling and suddenly I heard a moan and then someone say, "GIVE ME YOUR BRAAAIINS!" I went to see who it was and then I realised it was mum and she had been turned into a zombie!
Then I realised that the same thing might've happened to dad! so I ran out into the backyard and sure enough, there was a zombie standing in the middle of the yard digging a hole. I then knew that both of my parents had been turned into zombies so I wasn't sure who I could go to to get help. But then I realised that there was a possibility that granny and grandpa, uncle Bob and Aunty Marie had all been turned into zombies. So I decided I wouldn't go because I couldn't bear the thought of being a zombie.
But then suddenly it felt like something sharp was hitting me in the back of the head. Then I heard a big moan behind me. Suddenly I realised that there must be zombies behind me. So I whipped around and sure enough, there was a big group of zombies in front of me. Then it suddenly felt like someone had taken my brain out of my head. Then it occurred to me that a zombie had just taken my brains.
I fell to the ground and when I stood back up, I felt different. Like really different. And then I realised I had just become a zombie.
