Dream Journal
It was the middle of the night and everyone in town had fallen over dead except for my immediate and extended family. The electricity went out and the whole town was eerily silent. We decided that we would be safer and happier at my parents’ home out of town than where we were.
We took torches and went to my parents’ house as fast as we could. I was afraid that whatever had killed everyone else was going to get to us too, but I was also afraid that the dead bodies would turn into zombies and come for us. On our way to my parents’ home we crossed paths with a teenage girl who had survived, and we brought her along with us.
At my parents’ the teenage girl panicked and said that she couldn’t stay with us because then she would know where we were and would be able to lead others to us so they could kill us. She took a square tupperware container with a dirty lid and left us. I was sure the dirty tupperware lid would attract the zombies, but we let her go anyway.
Everyone crammed inside the house and tried to make out some sort of plan. As daylight grew I stayed in the basement and looked out the windows, wondering what or who was out there and how we would survive another day. I watched my mother with someone else and two large dogs walk around the house, and I feared for their lives. I thought that no one would be able to convince me to go outside, even though I know that I wasn’t 100% safe inside. It was only a matter of time until the zombies would be after us.
