The first chapter to this new book of the apocalypse. #TRIGGERWARNING MINOR GORE

Chapter 1

SMASH!

Everything just seemed to stop.

Glass was everywhere. Over tables and chairs, on the floor and all over the windowsill. A pebble size of a rock sat just under the window surrounded by glass, water and soil " after it had hit the vase of a flower pot.

They all stood in silence, listening for the slightest sound or crack. A young girl stood leaning in the corner covering her mouth with her hand, her breath rapidly hitting against it. Her other hand gripping her purple jacket enough that her nails dug into her palm.

Branches scratched against the window, scaring her and the other boys as they all looked towards the window where branch silhouette was blowing in the wind and hitting the window before dragging itself back.

The girl watches the branches hit the window again before looking towards the other boys. They stay tense but one lets out a sigh and relaxes his shoulders. He raises his hand up, signalling the others to calm down and relax. Most relax to a point but stay on their toes, as they go back to leaning against walls and the backs of their comrades.

The boy scratches his head as all the others get settled again. He walks over to a young boy with blonde hair and holding an AK-47 in hand. The blonde takes notice of the older boy coming over but does not move from his position near the wooden door.

“How does it look? Just a scare?” The older boy asks

“Yea. There’s no movement that I can see. But with a group like this, they’ll sniff us out in no time” He answers

“Only if there’s blood” The other boy exclaims

“Yea….”

Suddenly one of the overhead windows smash! Startling everyone in the confined room. A breath catches in the older boy’s throat as he hears a moan come from the people who slept under the glass when it smashed. The girl in the corner screams, a look of horror on her face as she looks directly at the wooden door.

“IT’S SHAKING!! IT’S SHAKING!!” She screams

The blonde boy jumps off from the table that he had been sitting on, and stands ready with the gun at the entrance of the door. Suddenly a bright light flies into the room and smashes all over the floor! Wax and a liquid substance leak all over the floor and a bright flame follows, catching onto blankets and clothes, burning them brightly to a crisp.

They all look as the flames spread over the place, they begin to panic. They yell and scream, some catching on fire and others looking down at the already crisped bodies.

“THE DOOR, THE DOOR!! OPEN IT!!” They screamed. Quickly the blonde grabbed the handle and started to pull on the door, a look of horror shot over his face when it didn’t open. Pushing against it with his shoulder, he thought that it was a simple confusion of which way the door opened, but when the door didn’t budge, he started to panic when he realised that:

“IT’S LOCKED!! I CAN’T” The blonde yelled back.

They all look horrified as the boy yelled back. They were finished, they were to be cooked and eaten by the flames…

….

Moments later the building had collapsed, burying them all under a layer of rubble… it wasn’t long before they came. Tearing at their flesh and pulling off their limbs.

The dirt ran red....

Finishing off the last of the edible part of the body, they left; some limping others moaning. When the scene was clear of them all, a group of three or four climbed into plain sight overlooking the mess of rubble.

“Sorry…but it had to be done” a wicked smile creeped across the face of those words, as they kicked a pebble, then turned away and walked off with the others of their group, following behind.

The pebble hit the rocks as it fell, then was suddenly stopped as it hit a dis-attached hand laying on the red dirt…

Author's Note

I know, i know. I should finish my other story's before writing a new one, but i just had to write this one. This is all based off a dream i had - so weird cause i hate zombie related things and didn't watch or see anything zombie related the night before i went to bed.
Anyway Please tell me how this went, it was a quick throw together - i don't really like the way it flows.

"SMASH! Everything just seemed to stop. Glass was everywhere. Over tables. ." -it's really a wonderful way to begin a story. The starter lines give the hint of chaos described in the later part, also draw the attention of readers.

Branches scratched against the window. . .they were to be cooked and eaten by the flames -these lines have created the violent atmosphere perfectly. The description is alright, I'd love to read the next chapters. Best of luck.

Thank you so much!! I'm so happy that they made that kind of effect - that was what i was hoping for.
Thank you!!

Love the tension straight from the beggining. Hooked me right in. Great image writing too from the start. Brilliant tension when they we're trapped by the fire.

The writing just flows, just how writing is meant to be.

Looking forward to reading more about these creatures.

Mark.

Thank you so much! So glad to hear this! Really glad you enjoyed it!

[KittyKatgirl]

This is amazing and I agree with Rafy. The way you described the happenings and explicitly detailed the attack, engages the audience and gives them a good view of a violent background that this story isn't lovey dovey or anything like that, it is full of action. And I remember this dream you told me about and thanks to you I had a similar dream that night though it wasn't nearly as exciting.

[PenguinEmpiress]

thank you!! Even though the dream was really weird, i just couldn't resist writing a story about it.
It really good to hear that the description is good and it draws in the audience!! I'm so glad~

[Larry John]

!!! This is fantastic !!! I'm super excited to read the rest of the story, it's great! That cliffhanger though ;)
I really like the action in this chapter, I hope the next is as intense!

[PenguinEmpiress]

Thank you!!! I'm so glad to hear this!!! No one has commented yet so i was feeling very neglected :c

Well... you will have to wait and see, to see if it is just as exciting as this one!! ;)
