Soldier

*JASON POV*

"Will we come back alive from this clean-up mission?" Is the only question I could ask as the Jeep moved towards our location. There were only 8 people in the Jeep excluding the driver. 

I could only look out of the window as my question went unanswered. The rundown buildings and zombies on the street were by now a common sight for us soldiers who go out for clean-up or scout missions after the disaster hit us unexpectedly. 

My name is Jason, a normal soldier in the base camp near Evergreen city. My passion for 'fighting for the nation' brought me to become a soldier. I was hoping to retire in a few years as I was already in my mid-thirties. But not everything went according to plan. 

The apocalypse hit as I was doing my regular rounds around our military base like always. The moment I could hear our general giving out orders, I knew something went wrong. But I never imagined the things I saw in fictional movies come true.
