"Oh so now we are voting who will be the new mayor of gone-to-shit-ville, It's the fucking end of the world and your argueing over a small title"- Ken Myers

"Does he have a pulse" Logan said."Barely but he has one" I replied.''Don't let me die Ken please" Sohti said as he started to w."drive faster the biters are catching up" Axel said."OH SHIT" I heard logan scream before the car flipped and i blacked out. I woke up biters on all sides of the car trying to break into the car I looked around and saw that everyone but Tom was okay. I tried to reach for Tom but i couldn't because my arm was badly sprained. I kicked him and saw that he had a gash in his head and noticed one of the bars of his chair's head was gone. I started to cry, I had just lost one of the friends that I knew was alive. I looked at Sohti to see if his arm was okay but he was still bleeding out. I was just about to rip off a peice of my shirt to cover it when he lunged at me. His skin was very pale and his eyes were devoid of color. I held him back with my leg but he kept trying to get me. He grabbed my shirt with his one arm and started to pull me toward him. My leg was weakening but i kept on kicking him back. My brother woke up and realized what was happening. He grabbed his pistol and shot Sohti in the head. My ears started ringing and my eyes were flashing."Holy shit did the limb cutting not stop the infection, Ken are you okay did he get you" Logan said. "I'm okay is my girlfriend okay". "yeah she's okay how about back there". I checked on everyone and said " Everyone but Sohti and Tom are okay" then i started to cry. My brother rolled his window down a little and killed all the biters.''

"Okay damage check, two dead the car is badly damaged and we need a new shelter to settle in, anyone got any suggestions" Logan said."Hey who voted you the new leader, we need a fair vote" Axel said. "Oh so now we are voting who will be the new mayor of gone-to-shit-ville, It's the fucking end of the world and your argueing over a small title" I said."Well Ken you didn't argue when Sohti userped the title huh bitch" Axel replied."Oh that's it asshole" I lunged at Axel and puched him in the face. He kicked me square in the nuts and pushed me to the ground, he started to choke me. My brother kicked Axel in the head and then in the chest and said "no one hurts my little brother". I then spit on him and said "your stupid son of a bitch you would insult a dead man who did the most he could to protect us just for your benefit, you make me sick"."Axel get up and don't start anymore fights you can't win" Adam said."Back on the topic, anyone got any ideas where to go" Logan said."I would like to know how the hell did we crash in the first place" Karen said."When Axel said to speed up I stepped on the gas and when I tried to turn the car spun out of control and we hit a fence, the car flipped and we kept rolling and then i blacked out" Logan replied."It doesn't matter we need to find shelter I suggest we go to the motel down the street barricade it and see how long it will last" I said."Little brother that's not a bad idea i agree let's go" Logan said.

About a week after we settled in the motel shit started to hit the fan."okay Ken you Felix and Kyle will go into the city and get any planks you can they are essential we need more if we are going to barricade this motel" Logan said."you got it boss" I replied. I grabbed a luggage cart and Felix handed each of use a pistol. We set off and went to the nearest home depot."Okay Felix you load the planks on the cart, Kyle you push the kart, and I will stand guard here" I said.Okay lets go Kyle" Felix said. I looked out the front doors and their was nothing, this was going to be a peice of cake."KYLE DUCK" I heard Felix scream then I heard shots fired I ran over there to see what was happening and saw Kyle and Felix dead and some strangers walking slowly toward me."Remember me kid one of the strangers said."Who are you guys and why the hell did you kill them" I replied."It's john remember from walmart well we are what you might call bandits, and you guys were going to raid our Depot so now turn around and say your prayers" John said. I turned around and jumped behind the metal platings I grabbed the biggest one there and ran for the exit covering myself with the metal. I grabbed a bicycle that was there and stuck the metal on the back to protect myself. I started to petal back to the motel when I saw a herd of biters saw me, I started to petal faster hoping that I would lose the biters. I returned to the Motel and Logan said "Where the hell are Felix and Kyle, and what about the planks", I said "Bandits depot, biters following, plating all I got, Gear up". Adam ran up with some rope and started to tie the plating to the rest of the wall. My brother gave each of us a gun and told me "well Little brother let's fight some bandits". After a while a herd of biters came and each of us started to shoot them. Halfway through the Biters we heard shots from the other side and it was the Bandits. After the biters were gone we saw bandit's, I noticed that it was more than triple that of last time. They started to run into the motel since the wall wasn't finished. Joey was the first to die, he got shot straight in the head when the bandits entered. Then Philip got shot from saving Karen from getting shot. I lifted my gun and shot two bandits through the head, two birds with one stone. I pointed at John smiling because I was about to repay a favor when Diana pushed me to the side and a bullet went straight through her. I looked up and saw Axel with a look of disgust on his face and his rifle pointing at me I reacted quickly and shot him in the leg so he fell and dropped his gun. I ran up the stairs to where he was and Adam was treating him while my brother was covering them. I started to shoot at the bandits until there was none left but John." Hey John remember what you did to my friends well consider this me repaying you" I said right before i shot him. I turned around looked at Axel and said "You son of a fuck you did it again you killed my fucking sister" I started to raise my voice" AND DON'T YOU DARE DENY IT BECAUSE I SAW YOU ASSHOLE AND THAT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT WASN'T IT YOU DUCK, WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU TRY TO KILL ME, IS IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT ANYONE ARGUEING OVER THE ROLE OF MAYOR OF SHIT TOWN IS IT, YOU KILLED MY SISTER AND I SHOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW BUT I WON'T BECAUSE I AM GOING TO LET YOUR BROTHER DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS". Adam Just stood there wondering what he should say he looked Axel and said "I can't believe you would kill a minor just for a role that won't mean anything in the future, I think that Axel should have to do extra manual labor for his crime and should lose two fingers" I lifted up my knife and with a smile hacked away two of Axel's fingers. I then turned around and said "Our fallen group members should be buried".
