By zack and jillian.lewis It was a normal day in New York, well a normal day in the apocalypse. Hi I’m Cotton Eyed Joe or just Joe (sorry we had to make the joke) and these are my friends Max and Stacy. They are siblings. We live in Yonkers, New York. It is the year 3001. We are at one of our bases, an old abandoned army base. We got a lot of stuff like guns, cars and a bunch of other cool things. Stacy was practicing her shooting skills with some guns because her aim is bad. My driving is not so great, I need to practice as well. Max is good at all of that stuff. I usually watch Stacy practice her aim but I'm a good inventor. I make guns, bombs, cars and sometimes robots. When we are not being invaded by raiders, we just start having a good time. I have a secret. I kind of have a crush on Stacy. Max and I are building a pool at the base to cool off on hot days because it is starting to be summer and it gets really hot. We went out to get more supplies to finish the pool when we found a building that had a lot of stuff we needed for building the pool. While searching the building, we heard some sounds that sounded like cracking and scratching in the wall. We decided to ignore it, but it kept getting louder and louder. Max said “what's that sound man?” I said “I don't know.” Just then the ceiling brakes and falls on Stacy and blocks the door. I was worried about Stacy and called out to her, “Stacy you ok?” Suddenly zombies come out of the wall and Max grabs the gun and shoots some of the zombies. I rush to free Stacy. I was able to get her out of the debris. Max yells “take the gun. Joe, can you get a grenade?” I get the grenade and pull the pen. I yell, “take cover!” The grenade explodes near Max and Stacy. I was able to take out most of the zombies with the grenade. I don’t see my friends. Were they casualties of this crazy world? The guilt of possibly killing my friends fueled my rage. All I could think about was Max and Stacy. Did the grenade get them to? I see Max’s gun laying nearby. I quickly scramble to it and begin taking out every zombie in sight. When the smoke clears there are no zombies to be seen. I quickly return to base and get medical supplies for my friends. I have no clue of their fate. As I return to the scene of the battle, I see two badly injured figures, Could it be Max and Stacy? …… to be continued.
