The dead are among us - Prologue

It's June 24th, 2021. The world is deep in the battle with one of the worst pandemics in modern history, Covid-19. Things are looking positive however, there are vaccines that are being distributed around the globe and all countries are trying there upmost to tackle and beat this virus; However there is a new threat. An unknown desease that seems to be giving people canabalistic and aggressive symptoms. There have only been a few cases reported on earth but it's all being overlooked. Many people have thought it is teenagers that have used recreational drugs such as mushrooms or spice. Some conspiracy theories online are even suggesting that it might be a variant of Covid-19. 

25/06/2021 - 8pm: The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has just held a meeting about this unknown threat that seems to be increasing at an alarming rate. There are now hundreds of cases being reported in the UK alone so the government has decided that action has to be taken imediatly. They have decided a full blown lockdown has to be forced immediately as the threat of this new phenomenon is unlike anything ever seen.

The emergency press conference starts. It is broadcasted on every channel across the United Kingdom interrupting whatever show was on at the time. The Prime Minister seems nervous as he starts speaking. He is gripping his right arm as if he was in a lot of pain. He is sweating profusely. He announces that everything people can publicly visit is to close with the exceptions of supermarkets, hospitals and Pharmacies. He states that there is to be Special Force personel at every single open public place aswell as patrols on towns and streets. 

As he is finishing up his speech he starts to slightly sway from side to side. Almost as if he had just been spun around or consumed a lot of alcohol. He starts itching his right arm that he'd been gripping previously. He suddenly ends the conference and runs off his podium. He stumbles out the room. Turns right down the corridor and into the nearest toilet. He goes into the first cubicle and locks the door. He rolls up his sleeve to reveal a bite mark. All of a sudden his eyes close and he blacks out. His body is lifeless.

Two members of the special forces rush to try and aid the prime minister. Their names are Captain Tom Ryan and Captain Simon Preston. Tom is fairly well built, has short blonde hair, he's about 6 foot tall, light skinned and around 30 years old. Simon on the other hand is a bit more tanned, longer dark hair, and around 5 foot 8 inches tall. They both kick down the door as they could see he was in trouble and bust through the toilet cubicle door that they can see he's in. All of a sudden his eyes light up. However, he doesn't have any pupils or details to them. They are just plain white as if he has rolled his eyes into the back of his head. The prime minister suddenly leaps off of the toilet and attacks Captain Simon Preston. Biting him on the neck and tackling him to the ground. Captain Tom Ryan sees this and is frozen to the spot, in shock of what he's seen. 

5 more men rush through the door to aid and assess the situation. They aim their guns at the massacre that is unfolding. Captain Tom runs out the room Terrified of what he's witnessed. As he runs for the exit all he can hear the sound of bullets. Not just one, but a spray of them aswell as the frantic screams of what he can only assume is the men that came in to aid him and Captain Simon. He wonders what has just happened as surely it wouldn't take more than one shot to put someone down. He pulls open the exit door and runs for his life.

The dead are among us - Chapter 12 - Out of nowhere

The sound of a gunshot has echoed around the nearby area. Josh opens his tear filled eyes and takes his finger off the trigger. He thinks to himself "It sounded like it came from down the road towards the Nisa shop." He can't see over there as the windows are covered by the the undead and some of them have smeared blood on them. A few of them have started to move from the car and meander towards the direction that the gunshot came from. Josh feels a sense of hope at the fact that it could have been someone in his family that fired the shot. He starts to search the old car for anything that he can use to escape. He pulls open the draw on the passenger side of the car. All that's there is some paper work and some old tapes. He turns and looks at the backseats. It's an almost empty car so there is not much there that he can use. Suddenly he hears a splat. He turns to see the brains of one of the undead exploded onto the front windscreen. Suddenly Another one seems to

The group have just seen a horde of the undead that are heading straight for the Cul-de-sac. Geoff shouts "Run for the alleyway. see if we can get some cars from the main road and get away." They all run down the path past the houses and are around 5 meters from the alleyway. All of a sudden 6 of the undead push over the piece of corrugated scrap blocking the entrance of the alleyway.
