THE OUTBREAK…

– Vihaan Palkar, Grade V, Northpoint School

It was a stormy night! After work, James got out of his car into the quiet alley that led to his apartment . He was a calm person with a talent for computing. As soon as he got out, there was a loud ‘THUD ‘on the ground.

He saw an eerie looking creature that resembled a human being. He instantly ran home and locked all the doors and windows. He turned on the NEWS. He realized that it was a zombie. The scientists said that it was a mind controlling virus.

‘CRASHHH!’ The glass window shattered. He went to check, then he ran as if his life depended on it. He blasted out of the house till he heard gunshots and a few more THUDs. He had reached one of the many safe havens set up by volunteers. They welcomed him and equipped him with armor, a sword and two guns.

They turned on the news. They were shocked to see the impact of the virus. They had lived there for many days growing plants, killing zombies and most important, hiding. Everything was going well until, the alarms rang. Zombies!!!

The zombies has raided the base. All the members escaped; leaving one. James was bit in the cross fire. Then his eyes turned blood red. His skin burst and green skin grew in place. Soon he was one of them!!!
