Chapter 2
"So what are we going to do?" asked JJ after sitting down with Kate. We were back on the roof just like the day before. Everyone looked back and forth to each other, but nobody came up with anything. We all looked very sullenly. It has been harder to sleep lately. Each day that passes, the crowd of zombies grows even more, and their sound gets louder.

"I've got a better question," started Kate. "Where the hell did these things come from? I mean I know none of us know, but we can try to figure it out."

"The Bible." said Amanda quietly. Everyone looked at her and she blushed a little bit. "In the Bible it says that the dead shall be raised at the Apocalypse. Maybe that's what's happening?"

"It's possible." responded Travis. "I never believed it till now...but she might be on to something. I don't think that it's the Apocalypse though. I do think it may be sort of biblical."

I stood up and walked to the edge of the building. "Maybe you're not too far off. There was an Apocalypse in the Bible, but God saved a few people." Now it was my turn to be stared at. I pointed out towards the zombies. "What does that look like to you?" Everyone stared for a moment, but said nothing.

"It's just a big sea of brainless bodies." said Kate.

"Exactly! Sea! The flood. Noah's ark. Does this seem familiar to anyone?" I saw Amanda perk up, and Travis looked more alert as well. "Theses zombies came like a flood, and so far we're the ones being spared. The flood came to erase all the sin in the world...and we all know how much of that there is. This movie theater is like our ark. Does anyone know how long the journy was? I don't." Nobody knew. They all looked around very confused at this one. I slumped down next to Amanda and put my head into my hands. She rested her head on my shoulder, but finally someone spoke up.
"Forty days? They used that alot in the Bible, right?" asked JJ.

"I don't know...maybe." I said with a sigh. "So then we wait. Forty days. It's already been five, so only five more weeks then." Everyone nodded. I didn't know if we could hold out for 35 days, but it was the best idea that anyone could come up with.

Travis stood up and walked to the edge of the building. He noticed that the crowd spread as far as the highway. Everyone turned to see. The highway was over 200 yards away. He wasn't lieing. Not a single space of earth was visible within the flood all the way to the highway. We looked at each side of the building and they stretched out just as far in every direction. You couldn't see any road or grass. Once in awhile you could spot a car in the middle of the crowd. Buildings were scattered around as well. The sight was eerie. Nobody should ever have to see anything like that.

I put an arm around Amanda and held her tightly. She buried her face into my chest. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what it was like to be back home. For some reason I couldn't. I couldn't picture my house or my family. The only thing I could remember was running from these things. I leaned my head a little in confusion.

"Amanda...how did you end up here?" I asked quietly into her ear.

She clutched my back a little bit and hesitated before answering. "Well I remember waking up in the morning to screaming. My eyes opened to see my mother bleeding from the neck. I could see little teeth marks there, and I was so confused. I got up and dressed quickly as she guarded the door. I could see the color drain from her face. She was shouting at me to go out through the window. She never said why, but I climbed out, and as soon as I had done so then she turned into one of them. I ran as fast as I could. away from there. I saw lots of people running. I wasn't to sure where everyone was going or running from. At that time I wasn't too sure of lots of things. That's when I saw JJ, Kate, and Travis hauling it down the street in some car. I called for them to stop, and they did...eventually. I climbed in, crying and wondering what wqas happening. We rode on for awhile, and I was the one who spotted you. I guess you know the rest from there..."

I nodded and held her a little tighter. Had she not gone out through the window, we may have never met, and we both might have been one of those brainless types out there. Travis got angry about something and stormed inside. I looked around and saw that JJ and Kate had started getting romantic with each other. She was sitting in his lap and they kissed passionately. I looked back out to the flood to hear the waves make their sounds. Travis came back up a few seconds later carrying one of the theater chairs. I could see that he tore it right from the ground in his anger. He thankfully walked right past JJ and Kate, and he headed for the edge of the building. Everyone watched as he took the seat and heaved it straight down at the zombies crowding the entrance. We heard the snap of a neck as the chair landed on one's head. Amanda flinched a little at the sound, but the only sound afterwards was that of Travis and his heavy breathing.

I let go of Amanda and moved towards the edge. I looked straight down to see the damage that was caused. I now saw how emotionless these things really were. They didn't care or make any notion to the fact that one of their own was just "remurdered". There was a new one standing in the dead one's place already. In fact it was standing on top of the fallen zombie. I returned to y place in Amanda's grasp and we headed inside. The sun was slowly falling into the flood. JJ and Kate followed us shortly, and once again Travis stayed on the roof a little bit longer than the rest of us.

"That's one down! How many more of you fuckers are left?" he screamed out into the dusk.

Inside the theater I headed for the little television. I flicked it on, hoping for anything. To my suprise there was an anchorman sitting in front of the screen and sweating up a storm.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he began. "If any of you are left alive, please hear this." I called out to the others. We found some wires that hooked the TV up to a projector so I set it up. The newscaster was now enormous as he was shown against the screen. "Here at WPKN we fear that time is running out. Millions have died, and we are soon to be next. I am broadcasting this message to say that there is nobody else alive. We've called all over, but at no avail. We do not know whether or not anyone will recieve this message. There is no help coming. If you are trapped indoors, please ration your food out to last as long as possible. If you have any weapons I'd advise you to spare the bullets, and if worse comes to worse then use the weapons upon yourself. Turning into one of these...creatures may mean the death of another survivor if there are any left. Good luck to all who hear this. This will be the last update we at the WPKN studio will air unless things start to clear up..." The screen went to static. The five of us stood in complete silence just staring at the screen. The sound of the static was surrounding us like the great flood outside, but none of us moved. I eventually clicked off the little television and the huge projected image disappeared.

I collapsed into a couch nearby and put a hand to cover my eyes. I shook my head slightly, replayiung what we just saw. I felt a body lie near me, and I saw that it was Amanda. She was crying slightly. She got as close to me as she could, and I just held her near. It was all I could do. No words could comfort her. We stayed that way until we both fell asleep.
