The dead are among us - Chapter 6 - Scavenge

It's been 9 days since the death of Beth, Audrey and Ahmed and the Group have been busy. They've managed to fortify the Cul-de-sac by putting some parked cars to block most of the the road and pavement leading to it. There is a small alleyway in the Cul-de-sac however they couldn't fully block all of it. They've put a big piece of scrap corrugated steel against the entrance which covers most of it. This has been with the help of a man that lives just on the corner of the cul-de-sac called Lewis Stevens. They have put the cars in line with his house so he is still covered aswell as the other 4 houses. The group have still been listening to the emergency radio broadcast however they have stopped broadcasting at midday yesterday. The last broadcast said that it's estimated that around 30-35% of the population are now infected. It also says that the emergency army camp in Birmingham got overrun however others are still up and running. The nearest being Wolverhampton. Th...

The dead are among us - Chapter 5 - Turned

Whilst Colton and Wendy are watching Brad try to tune the radio, Audrey decides to check on Beth. She walks to Beth's room and knocks on the door. She says "Hey Beth, are you okay? You seemed in a lot of pain." She doesn't get a reply so opens the door. As she walks in she trips on some bags that had been left in the doorway hitting her head on the floor. This knocks Audrey out cold. A turned Beth has now rushed at Audrey and starts ripping into her, tearing away flesh. About 30 second into this Audrey turns. She gets up and they both walk out of the, now open, bedroom door. Wendy thinks she hears a bump coming from Beth's room. She walks into the doorway and screams "AHHHHH". She slams the door at the sight of them and tries to hold it shut. Colton and Brad also join in trying to keep the door shut as Audrey and Beth start clambering against it.  The window of the bedroom is open and faces the rear garden. Luckily the next door neighbor is in his own ba...

The dead are among us - Chapter 4 - Saviour

It's now the twenty seventh of June, the day after Beth was bitten on the leg and she is in a bad state. Josh walks into her room to find her almost fully red, sweating and shaking. He puts his hand on her forehead and says "Oh my god. You're burning up. That's not normal, we need to get a doctor." Josh shouts downstairs and everyone runs up to Beth's bedroom. Geoff says "OH NO, I've got to take you to a doctor." He tries to pick her up but Beth screams in pain. "You're going to have to bring a doctor here to help her. Why don't we get that guy next door to Audrey's house. He was a doctor wasn't he?" Says Ruth. "I'll come with you, let's go." Ruth and Geoff run out the house and get into their car. Geoff and Ruth get into the car and start speeding out the cul-de-sac straight to Audrey's home. As they're driving down the main road there they notice how it's so much quieter than usual. There ...

The dead are among us - Chapter 3 - Regroup

It's now just gone two pm and Geoff has just finished his shift in the office and is getting into his car to drive home. He puts on his heavy metal music playlist and sets off from the office car park heading home. Usually it takes around thirty minutes to drive home and he always takes one of two routes. If it looks like it's going to be busy he goes down the bypass that's slightly away from the town, however if there's not much traffic he tends to head through town as it's a shorter distance so he uses less fuel. As it looks busy he decides to take the bypass meaning that he will miss all the drama that's unfolded in the town. He does however see a few army personnel on the outskirts of town almost as if they were patroling for some reason.  A small amount of time later he pulls up on the drive of the family home that's located at the end of a cul-de-sac. He gets out the car and walks through the front door getting greeted by the whole family swarming him ...

The dead are among us - Chapter 2 - The Great Cafe Escape

The woman in the cafe that bared the door shut runs to the back of the shop, searching for anything they can use. She is a short woman with short black hair in her early twenties. She has tattoos all over her arms and piercings on her nose and ears. She is wearing a black and white striped apron as she was the girl working at the cafe at the time. A few of the people follow to try and help. She says to one man to watch the front door and make sure they don't get through. Josh says "what the hell were they doing? Are they the people that they were talking about on the news?". She replies "Must be, we saw someone attack a few people outside and a few of them escaped and managed to hide inside the shop. Oh, my name's Kate by the way". "Oh god, and i'm Josh and this is my younger brother Brad". The three of them notice that one man that went in the back is shaking slightly and sweating. They're not sure wether it's because he's scared o...

The dead are among us - Chapter 1 - The Barber Shop

It's the start of a warm day on the 24th of June, 2021. It's around nine am and the sun has already rose. It's bright outside and the birds are chirping. However, inside a room, it's dark, no sight of life. There's a foul smell. Then all of a sudden. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! The alarm of a nineteen year old boys alarm clock goes off. The boy slumbers out of bed. He has dark outlines around his eyes due to a lack of sleep. He is a relatively well built, fit young lad with light brown hair. As he slumbers he tries to make it to his curtains that are blocking out most of the light to undraw them and light up the room. He does so in a tired matter only opening them two thirds of the way. He puts on his black slim jeans and plain white t-shirt and heads downstairs for breakfast. The TV has already been left on by someone and is on the main news channel. They are reporting of some humans that have been acting extremely peculiar. As he walks past he hears the news reporter mentio...
