THE LIVING DEAD
Author: Rikki
In The Beginning

In a small town of Milliopo, where everything seems quiet and nothing much happens. David, Jacob, Lucian and Bella are friends who grew up together since childhood. Their curiosity for discovering things made them stand out from other people in Milliopo. Lucian being the elder among them, by the age of 20…. Bella and Jacob are of the same age (19 years), while David was the youngest (18 years old). The four friends all live with their parents except David who's parents died in a car crash when David was 6 years old after which he was taken in and cared for by his uncle Zach. Lucian, Jacob, Bella and David basically did everything together both when in highschool and they actually Graduated out of highschool together, after which they got the idea to apply for the same college. 

Meanwhile at Milliopo, where everyone thought was quiet and safe, a group of scientists created a lab at the very centre of the town. Carrying out illegal biological experiments, but as one could imagine, the experiments backfired and affected the whole town of Milliopo. 

At Lucian's place in the basement, were the four friends usually meet up known to them as their lair…. All four friends were playing a game they were familiar with. The game was called "The dead Apocalypse: green horde". 

They were almost through with the game when Lucian received an email alert on his phone and when he opened the message, he saw that he had been given an admission into the college of his choice, this made others check their own emails. 

Out of the four friends, only Lucian and Bella were given an admission to the applied college. 

David and Jacob quickly hugged and congratulated them. 

A week later…. 

David and Jacob were given admission by another college within the town, but at first…. 

They have to escort Lucian and Bella to the airport in a couple of days so as to meet up with their school schedule. The day for their departure came and they got to the towns airport, While they were about booking their flights, all flights at the airport was delayed and the airport eventually shutdown due to the news of rampant behaviour displayed by both animals and humans in the town, all the people who were at the airport were sent back home including Lucian, Bella , David and Jacob.

Disappointed and on their way back home, there seems to be an unusual traffic jam. Different cars were honking at each other, and noises of complaints by the people were everywhere .

Jacob, David, Lucian and Bella saw the traffic jam as an opportunity to talk about their next move when they got home. Swallowed in their discussion, little did they know that something strange and weird was already happening. 

The rapid movements of people caught the attention of Jacob who was at the driver's seat. He then alerted others and behold, they saw cars hitting other cars trying to escape from the traffic, people running out from their cars, panicking 

and screaming out in horror. They didn't understand what was going on at first. Not until they saw a weird looking 

individual rushed a lady in a savage manner, bringing her down to the ground…. Grabbed her tightly and bit off 

her throat. 

The four friends' eyes widened in shock from what they saw. 

It wasn't long until they saw more strange individuals rushing towards their direction. Still contemplating on what to do next, they saw the lady whose throat was bitten off and was thought dead, shaking rapidly and vigorously on the floor. 

It soon stopped, and she suddenly got up from the ground. Her eyes turned white, with pale skin and some what black blood from were she was bitten. And also displayed a rabid behaviour that was similar to the man that bit her. 

"What the f*ck is going on!!?". David yelled out. His eyes showing how frightened he was. 

"Guys, I don't think we can get out of the car yet, we've been surrounded!!?". Jacob replied as he saw that there was no possible way for them to get out since they were surrounded by the strange behaving individuals. 

Bella screamed out in horror. "Drive, just drive!!!". 

Before Jacob could respond to her, their car was being attacked by the lady, and other rabid 

individuals…. Bashing their heads violently against the car windows while growling aggressively. 

Jacob saw that there was no other way out, and seeing that the windows were cracking, he got scared.

He had to take the only option on his mind. Because of the continuous screaming of his friends, his leg rapidly pushed the throttle, while his hands focused on the steering. 

He drove roughly hitting away cars that blocked his way as he steered to the direction of the bridge. His head was processing thinking of what next to do either to stop the car and make a run for it or to continue driving with the hope of not getting blocked both having a 50:50 chance of surviving, but since staying in the car seems more safer, it was their only option out of such situation, he had to continue driving, unfortunately the continuous bashing of other cars out of the way caused their car's front tires to explode making Jacob to lose control of the car and driving them of the bridge.

The car fell off the bridge. They all screamed out in horror as they witnessed the car falling down off the bridge.

The car crashed and landed upside down on top of a truck below the bridge, the impact was so massive that it caused 

them to be knocked out unconscious, making everything darkened afterwards.
