I stared in shock at the bloodied scene on the TV. It was like a horror movie, but you could tell it was real. I quickly turned the television off after the walkers started eating the dead body.

'Is... this the world now?... blood, walkers, and just a lot of death. Well, I better get used to it... right after this.' I cover my mouth and run to the bathroom.

A few hours later and I'm just sitting on the end of my bed staring at the wall. "I got some information from the guy... maybe I should go out, and practice killing the walkers and such? I will need it for practice, and I can test my knowledge. And learn some stuff along the way." I say.

I grabbed a few daggers and threw them in my belt pockets, as well as my bat. I changed into something more flexible, yet it covers most of my body, such as black sweatpants, as well as a dark green turtleneck. I ate a snack and started out the door.

I strolled away from the place, making sure not to be seen or heard by anything near. I made it to the park I was attempting to get to the day I found out about our expiration date, only being seen by a few walkers.

But that was my plan. I would lead them to the park and practice there. I was standing in the middle of the park, waiting for them to catch up. 'Maybe I ran a bit too fast... but those living dead bodies are freaking scary.' I thought as the 6 that were chasing me were getting closer. I gripped the bat, waiting for the best moment.

The walkers came close, almost touching me. I swung the bat and hit two in one. I watched as another one struggled to run over to me. It must have had a large injury on its leg.

I ran behind it, and before it could turn around I hit the back of its legs, making the bones poke out the front of his legs. I cringed as I gave it one final blow to the head.

The last three were coming from different directions. I firstly went for the one missing both its legs as it would be the weakest. They would be called a crawler. I ran over and stomped on its back since it was crawling on its stomach, which seemed to weaken it a bit more.

It barfed out a blackish liquid which telling by the other three I've killed, was the walkers' blood. The blade of the dagger was visible between its eyes as I stabbed its head.

I took the knife out of the walker's skull and hurled it at another's forehead quickly. Then I tucked the dagger back into my belt pocket. Once more, I swung the bat at the last skull and all the walkers lay lifeless on the ground.

'What did I learn from this? Well, their bodies are very weak and look as if everything is rotten. those bones did not look healthy. Hmmm, they are loud, and most likely will attract other walkers if you start a fight with them. I think all that screeching broke my eardrums, though.' I thought as I sighed.

At the end of the day, I should be better. I need to be more flexible, be more knowledgeable, and gain more experience.

And that's my goal, at the moment.

(slightly less than a month later.)

Since then, I would go out much more. In addition to killing the walkers as training, I've also seen some of the other kinds of walkers the man had mentioned. Speaking of which, the news hasn't been on lately. It looks like I'll be alone for a while, but id like to know if anyone else is out there.

However, I discovered that the majority of walkers' bodies are very weak, and by that, I mean most. Some need to be hit twice to completely kill them, which indicates they are a more advanced walker.

'Gon needed a few tools he didn't have at home, so he went out to town to find them. Although he had to kill one or two walkers, he managed to stay clear of them for the rest of the walk. His search for tools ended when he discovered a store that found them, so he walked inside going from aisle to aisle and grabbing the ones he needs.

After putting the tools he needs into his black backpack, he zips it up and is ready to leave. As he turns around, he sees a huge, obese walker at the end of the aisle. It was truly terrifying, and Gon mentally noted that these ones were the most frightening.

Slowly, he pulled out a bat and walked closer to the beast which growled as it shuffled towards Gon, going as fast as it could go. Gon swung the bat, and the walker fell to the ground. As Gon watched, he realized that the thing was still moving. It leaned to look at him and began to crawl over.

With a sharp knife, Gon impaled the monster's head swiftly leaving it completely paralyzed'.

It is important to ensure you are alone in stores, as there is a good chance of meeting an obese walker, my last favorite sort because they are strong and can be terrifying. But of course, they all have their weaknesses, Theirs being mobility, stealth, and swiftness.

After all said, I'm never going to get used to walkers of any sort.

~less than two months ago~

I live alone in a small trailer after my family moved away. The day before they left, I ran away. Or technically speaking, was kicked out. I wasn't going to be missed, no one cared if I was gone, not even my favorite sister cared enough about me. So, me being the 14-year-old genius that I was, stole a few bucks from my parents before leaving. Needless to say, they didn't need it anyway.

What I did with the money was; buy a trailer, get a job, and save the remainder for anything else that I would need. Because it was the first job I could find, I became an engineer for a while and had to learn about all of that.

Despite my age being 18 at the moment, I still live the same life that I did four years ago. My routine includes getting up, going to work, coming home, and binge-watching anime. It's the same every day, but I guess I know what to expect. An emergency alert was called while I was watching Attack on Titan. Curiosity got the best of me, so I clicked it immediately.

'Hello, dear citizens! A high-level alert has been sent to us. Multiple deaths have occurred in the past few hours, some report cannibals. They describe these creatures as beaten up, rotten flesh, unable to communicate with humans, with bloodshot eyes, and- hang on a second, we will get back to you soon.' Commercials started playing.

'Hm? Cannibals? Well, it can't be too bad, cannibals are... normal?' I thought, waiting for the ads to end. eventually, the news turned on once again.

'So, I had just got a call from the scientist's office and they have already run some tests on these 'monsters.' I'm going to share some information about them with you because I'm sure you'll need it.

They spread in a gruesome way, all that's needed is for their saliva to enter your bloodstream. How they do this...' she gulps. 'They will forcefully make an entrance. if you manage to escape one of these creatures after their saliva has entered your bloodstream, you will eventually turn into one of them. Though, we discovered that is not in fact their goal, for after they have bitten into someone they will continue to demolish the person.

Their brains have been infected by the virus, making them crave blood, or making them cannibal, similar to the drug a while back, but much more severe.

They will sprint at you, crawl, climb, any way possible. Find a weapon to defend yourself or hide until this passes. Good luck, to you all.' The tv turned back to commercials.

'Who's left? Why am I concerned about that? we have fuckin' cannibals roaming the streets, and I live in a fuckin' trailer! It's fine, Killua. You were trained to be an assassin for a reason, to kill who you were hired to kill- no! to kill. You're probably strong enough to fend for yourself...

' It's simple. don't get bitten, don't let them get to you. Right? Thinking back, I did recall hearing many sirens today...

What about my trailer?!' I decided not to bother with this tonight, and I would settle this tomorrow. The moment my head hit the pillow, muffled screams could be heard from outside. I immediately stood up and looked out the window, where I saw cannibals trying to break into a nearby trailer.

'hah, you get what you deserve when you throw parties every night. I must admit, those cannibal-like creatures are terrifying.' I was sweating, wide-eyed at the sight. 'Maybe I can't sleep on it.' I thought, rolling my eyes.

'At some point, I must leave this place; my hands are insufficient, it's too close for comfort.' My attention is drawn to a few items around the trailer, I went around collecting them and gently laid them on my bed.

Pulling out an old backpack, I fill it with everything I collected, then grab a crowbar I stole when I was around 15, and set both the items leaning against my nightstand. 'Maybe I can attempt to fall asleep again.' I thought while hopping back into bed.

I slept through all the noises that night, with a struggle of course.
