Chapter 1

A Chapter by pdogmoney

Eric woke up with a start. He arose from his bed, tired and not ready for school. He went into to the bathroom to take his daily shower. Funny, he didn't hear the birds chirping this morning.

" Eric, hurry up in there!" exclaimed his father.

"Almost done dad". He yelled trough the door.

Eric quickly finished his shower and got dressed into his normal school uniform...khakis and a red polo shirt. He slid down the railing of his staircase and rushed to retrieve his breakfast.

"What's for breakfast mom?" He asked
"Just cereal honey, nothing special". She said.

He groaned and started to eat his cereal.

"Thanks mom", he said, but he received no reply. "Mom"? His mother then fell to the floor as stiff as a board. Eric immediately stopped what he was doing and ran over to his mom. Then he realized that she wasn't breathing. "oh my god, mom, mom wake up. Please wake up mom!" he yelled. Eric evaluated closer and started to see blue ooze begin to inch its way out of her lifeless body. He dashed up the stairs to get his dad, but by the time he arrived, he was to late. His father was already collapsed onto the floor with the same blue ooze protruding from his mouth. Eric ran outside hoping there was someone out there that could possibly help him. There were, just not the kind he was looking for. People lined the street lying on the ground. He ran over to a man that seemed to still be moving.

"Sir, are you okay?" Eric said.

The man managed to whisper out two words before his head falling to the ground. "Find help," then at that exact moment a helicopter landed only a few feet from Eric. There were two men, each wearing a yellow gas mask and jumpsuit. "A survivor!" one of the men shouted in a surprised and slighlty muffled voice. They grabbed Eric and boarded the air craft. They then began to fly higher and higher into the sky.

"How did this one survive?" the pilot yelled over the obnoxious sound of the propellers.

"I don't know, we'll have to take him back to the lab for testing." said one of the men in yellow. The back of there jumpsuits said "CDC" on it...The Center for Disease Control.

A man in a lab coat guided Eric to a cot and gently pushed him back so he laid down. He quickly plugged a needle into the crook of his elbow before he could protest, and clear liquid was shot into his viens. He started to fell his world spinned and felt dizzy. He then slipped out of consiousness.

The idea is interesting, but the main point is details here. I understand that this is probably your first draft and you try to go to the ACTION part faster. Not today. Start with more detailed entrance.
Let's say, he wakes up and looks in the window, but there were no cars or the trafic was gone, and it was unusual. Simple as that.
Looking forward to see your finished work, apparently you need to work more on this piece.
Anyway, good job,

91/100
