(Author's Note - Nice to see there are a few people interested in my story. Already over 1.1k almost 1.2k views and 17 people who put it in their collections by the time I got to my second class today. Wow, I just finished homework and now we are at already over 1.5k views and 23 collections. I'm impressed. )

March 2nd

(Rain) - "Urghhh"

I woke up abruptly groaning feeling a slight pain all over my body and while my body was feeling sort of cramped up. I grab my phone that is laying on the floor next to me since it seems to have fallen out of my pocket when I collapsed. When I checked my phone I was shocked as it said it was 7:00 in the morning. Not 7:00 at night on March 1st, but rather March 2nd, in the morning. Of course, I was shocked cause that meant my parents never came home from work that night otherwise they would've at least woken me up and had me get to bed rather than sleep on the floor.

Worried I tried calling my parents to find I strangely had no cell phone service, no internet service, or even my location services working. Even more worried I got myself dressed and was about to walk out to the garage and drive out using our spare vehicle when I suddenly heard a female's ear piercing scream before I even finished walking out the door.

(Unkown Woman) - "AAAHHHH!! HELP ME!! HE'S TRYING TO EAT ME!!"

I look out the small window on the door and see a woman running from a man who was holding onto her arm and bitting her arm as if it was the most delicious meal he ever had. Freighted by how he had grabbed her and bit her I ran to the kitchen and grabbed the hunting knife gifted by one of the of my parent's customers who really enjoyed hunting and gave it to them when he moved out of town about a month ago. I also grabbed a smaller knife that was more like a slightly larger but much sharper butter knife. As I was about to run out and help the woman I see her already pushing the man who I realized was my neighbor next door. Unable to compute what I saw as I knew my neighbor for quite a few years and I know he definitely wasn't the type to attack a woman much less bite her in the middle of the street.

(Rain) - "Wha - What's even going on anymore!? Why is Mr.Roberts biting the arm of the new lady who moved in yesterday!?"

Rushing out blindly due to hearing the woman crying in pain I rushed out with the hunting knife in hand and the smaller knife strapped latched onto my belt I rushed out point the hunting knife at Mr.Roberts and threaten him to stop.

(Rain) - "Mr.Roberts stop what you're doing now or I will have to help force you to do so! Assaulting someone is a crime!"

(Mr.Roberts) - "Urgghhh!! ARRGGHHH!!"

When I saw him turn to look at me his eyes were rolled back almost like those from a zombie anime shows. Creeped out with what I saw and the way his jaw started to unhinge from his mouth and opening with the blood from the lady's arm flowing from his mouth while staring and groaning and roaring at me. The lady at this point had fainted from having a chunk of her arm ripped straight through by Mr.Roberts and the pain from it. I wasn't even the one being bitten and I felt like fainting from the horrifying sight before my eyes. The hunting knife started to shake in my hands while I had it facing Mr.Roberts due to ominous dark feeling of peer terror I started to feel from him turning to look at me.

(Mr.Roberts) - "ARGHH!!"

He then drops the lady he took a chunk of and starts to sort of walk and hobble over to me. Getting freaked out even more by this creepy sight and the fact that his front was covered in blood and a small knife sticking out from the front of his chest in what appears to be his heart's location.

(Rain) - "Mr.Roberts! Stop there or I will use force! IF YOU TRY TO ATTACK ME I CAN STILL CLAIM THIS TO BE SELF-DEFENSE UNDER THE LAW!"

As I scream this out Mr.Roberts continues to come closer and closer towards me. Then, before I even realized due to blanking out, he appeared near me roaring again just like half a meter from me. Scared out of my wits I suddenly felt the instincts of fight or flight start to kick in as he approached just enough to almost grab me. In the end, my instincts told me to fight as I used my right hand with the hunting knife and hit his arm with it while at the same time grabbing the smaller knife with my left hand from my belt and threw it forwards to his face.

As the smaller knife pierced slightly into his face through a lucky shot to through to his right eye I pulled my right arm back with the hunting knife and used the blade to smack the smaller knife further through his eye now bloody and slightly bulging eye and into his brain. When the smaller knife went into his head he suddenly stopped and collapsed on the ground right before me with his arm seemingly what felt like few centimeters from me. Freighted I forgot about the lady and ran back into the house and started to clean myself in the house.

Horribly freighted by what happened I start to use random items throughout the house to block any door and windows with a mix of items such as furniture, sharp objects with duct tape towards windows/doors, and random items I could move to make the barricades slightly stronger. Further paranoid I started to move storage contains to contain the food and put it inside my parents closet along with cases of water and other containers of water from the sinks, showers, and the family's emergency hurricane containers of water all into the closet. I then further barricaded the bathroom door that led to the closet and hid inside hoping to hide hoping what happened was merely a dream but no matter how much my brain kept repeating the moment I killed Mr.Roberts. I hid inside thinking about those sort of zombie shows/novels I had read in the past thinking it was impossible to actually happen but, nevertheless, in the end, my brain failed to trick me to calm down despite utilities still working, unlike the common zombie stories. Reasonably speaking the utilities wouldn't very likely just be kicked off that fast anyways even if an apocalypse did happen in reality this is what kept me freighted.

Meanwhile, unknownst to me, after when I killed Mr.Roberts due to my fear I ignored something that shouldn't have possibly been something I could hear.

(???) - "Ding! Experience +1. Level UP! Now Level 1! Congratulations! Gained 1 status point! Gained 1 skill point! Next Skill Point At Level 5. The user has gained a random function. Function unlocked "status function". The user has now automatically unlocked upgrade function. The user has 1 available status and skill point to upgrade with."

This was how my first day went. And the beginning of a long period of my cowardly period of hiding, while hoping, desiring, and wishing that the apocalypse would end when I was hiding away in my parent's closet.
