Valerie looked in her cupboard and rumaged around for something to eat. She had locked herself in her apartment since the 18th May and had to live with listening to the blood curdling screams of her neighbors as they were killed by the infected. As well as listen with the screams of victims on the streets, the infected's unsettling groan and the sound of a distant explosion or car crash or police siren somewhere in the city.
Which is why her Ipod quickly became her best friend in those first few days of self imposed quarantine.
Valerie tied up her blond, thick wavy hair into a pony tail to keep it off her face and zipped up her black leather jacket. She knew sometime or another she would have to venture out of her apartment for food or to escape. The banging at her front door had stopped a couple of hours earlier but she wasnt going to get out that way. It was blocked anyway due to her moving most of the living room furnature infront of it
She opened her curtains. Columns of smoke were rising from certain areas of the city, on the street below it was bothing but smashed in car's, dead bodies and some lumbering zombies walking down the street in a small group. The only reason she picked this time to leave her apartment was becuase it was the sunniest day they had so far and the daytime made her feel a little bit safer.
She opened her window and made her way down a fire escape. She was armed with her kitchen broom. It was weak but the best should could do. While proceeding down the fire escape she looked into the windows of what use to be her neihbors houses. most of the possesions were missing as people tried to abandon the city, some apartments had blood stains all up the walls. She tried not to look into them for too long.
Finally she jumped on a car, just below the ladder. She would easily be able to climb back up.
Valerie made her way cautiously down the ruined streets of the city.
"aaaaaa! Get away from me!" screamed a teenage girl further up the street
Valerie stepped back and kneeled next to a car to see what was happening
The young girl ran to the otherside of the street, fleeing a group of 4 zombies. when the young girl got to the otherside of the street she jumped over a fence and into an allyway. There was silence for a few minutes before hearing the blood curdling scream of the girl.
'there must of been more in the ally, poor girl' Valerie back tracked a small distance and turned down another long street, maybe she would encounter another survivor.......
