One morning I woke up, had breakfast and turned on the tv. Then a broadcast came up telling everyone that he will turn everyone into zombies unless they give him a billion dollars. The Presidents of the world refuses for some reason and then a big rocket went into space and exploded. Green gas came down onto the earth and everyone breathed it expect me. I held my breath for a bit and then the gas went. I didn’t want to take a breath but then I do. It’s fine, but then a safety message came up on the tv, it said, ‘Go to the Bellerive park for safety’. I decided to get two sharp knives from the kitchen and I set off to the park so I can save my family.
While walking down the street, I noticed a car with the keys on the ground. I started walking to it then heard a zombie behind me. I grabbed my knife and turned around with the knife pointing to the zombie’s head. I cut it off with one swing and started running then thought if I kill the zombies, I might kill my family. Turning back, I saw the zombie come back together, so I started running to the car as fast as I could. I made it to the car, but a zombie with a knife threw it at me, I dodged it, but it went through the gas and was about to explode.
I started to run to a house for cover. When I got to the house door, the car exploded. But the blast wasn’t near me it was safe beside the zombies. I started going through the short cut through a little park and there were no zombies. Oops I was wrong, a baseball player that was a zombie came out of the bush and he had a baseball bat. I had two knifes so I decided to run. The zombie was quick so I turned around and threw my knifes, one hit the bat and one hit his arm. I hit the wrong arm though, I needed the arm with the baseball bat, the other arm. So, I had no weapons I started to run for a sharp stick. I grabbed the stick and threw it and it hit his head and died. I quickly grabbed my knifes and his baseball bat and headed to the park.
I was almost there, but I saw a zombie tower which was turning things into zombies. I decide to head there instead. I saw a power switch. I think it will turn the machine off so I head there, running and turned it off, but then a timer appeared, it was going to self destruct. I needed to get out of there, but zombies were blocking the way so I ran straight for them and started stabbing them and hitting them with the baseball bat. I defeated them all then it blew up, everyone was back and safe yay.
