Personal Narrative: A Zombie Apocalypse

The garish sun illuminated the sky, and in the horizon there was a faint figure gallivanting through the fields, my sister. No place anywhere else in the world lies more peace and serenity than in the suburbs of Reykjavik, Iceland, a place full of wonders and where a zombie apocalypse is never a possibility. For this reason alone my sister and I had settled here in the suburbs after our parents had passed away back in Vienna. Post mortem indicated that they had died of a heart attack, “presumably old age had taken the best of them”, they had said, but my sister and I knew the hospital staff and the Vienna troopers weren’t conveying the truth behind my parents death. I had seen the zombie myself in quarantine surveilled by the Vienna state troopers

when it had escaped from their clutches. Since then the zombie had subjected fear into people like my parents who consequently died of a heart attack who still in spite of the dense security could not be apprehended. In actuality, old age hadn’t taken their life, rather the zombie was the sole cause of my parents demise, but the troopers disregarded all of our accusations against their irreparable behavior that led to the absconding of the zombie. They abruptly left without notice and left us alone to die in the streets of Vienna, my sister and I, now orphans, left for Reykjavik to lead a life without tyrannical zombies and enigmatic troopers.
I walked to my sister who was currently gallivanting through the fields when she suddenly came to an abrupt stop and the came firing towards me. “Ostensibly there was an enormous plane with an exodus just behind the densely packed trees”, she exclaimed. Instinctively, I grabbed her arm and ran towards the exodus, hoping to collect information regarding the zombies. The densely packed trees themselves proved to be just some of the many vicissitudes I had confronted after the death of my parents and would certainly not hold me back from reaching the exodus, and it hadn’t. After much endurance and perseverance my sister and I had finally reached the boeing carrier and observed the people amassed just to board the plane. Without hesitation I confronted one of the guards along with my sister and had asked what exactly was going on. He looked upon me and said, “I cannot reveal the issue but I certainly can tell you that a certain creature from Vienna has infected people and has become a threat to the population of Europe, hence we are executing a mass exodus out of Europe into North and South America. You and this girl have been given the ultimatum of staying here and being left to die or board the plane and migrate to North and South America.” The answer was quite simple and just the plain obvious, to board, and the certain creature he had spoken of was most probably the zombie that had absconded from quarantine.
We were dropped off at New York City within a matter of hours where it had come to my attention that news of this mysterious creature posing a threat to the human population had already spread to Asia.

Without any delay I went to the secret science laboratory my father had worked for in a separate branch in Austria and luckily for me I have his ID. The laboratory specializes in antidotes for viruses and certain epidemics that could eradicate the human population. Coincidently my uncle, the administrative head works in this laboratory and can help me with my own antidote that could annihilate the zombies once and for all. Similarly the workers in this area were also working on their version of the antidote and happened to know more about the zombie apocalypse than me who had a first hand experience. My uncle personally told me the origins of the first zombie who was held in quarantine in Vienna. This zombie was an ordinary human who was subjected to rigorous amounts of nuclear fusion in order to create the perfect soldier, but the experiment was unsuccessful and mankind had created a zombie that could infect the entire human population. It couldn’t be killed, so the only solution was to find an antidote, and this opportunity was given to our science

laboratory.
With my antidote solution combined with the solution developed by these scientists it could be twice as powerful.

Moreover, time is of the essence and the graphs are indicating a sudden and immediate growth. What seemed to be just Austria has now become the entire Europe. The growth has substantially increased and is spreading rapidly into Asia and now parts of North and South America. All of the scientists headed into the lab to fuse both versions of the half finished antidotes together in order to make a full restoring antidote. After much anticipation the antidote was finished and was fully

functional.
Unanticipatedly, the alarm went off and the room became an abattoir. One of the scientist exclaimed the zombies had breached into the vestibule area and were heading upstairs. The three in command scientists, my uncle, my sister, and myself headed for the helipad along with the antidote to take an unprecedented course of action, but before that we needed to head to a secretive area where no zombie can reach. Until then we had to make as many antidotes as possible and divide each of us into separate areas so we can cover more area. My sister and I decided to cover the area of New Orleans and took the helicopter. We had taken a zombie meter that would keep us up to date on the number of people infected, and as of now the meter is showing a colossal 98% infected, and nearly all of Asia was infected with the exception of Greenland which soon would perish too. Without haste we headed for New Orleans and were dropped off on a high rise building. From there we had used our disinfecting guns to cure the zombies, and the meter slowly went down just a little after some time but then came back up and this continued on and on.
After hours of shooting antidote pills at zombies the terrace door began to shake and was finally broken down by a zombie who at this point in time was within close proximity to my sister and myself. Gooey liquid oozed out from its mouth and its cranium was half open whilst showing his green brain and its teeth were quenching for blood… our blood. There was no more antidote left and the helicopter hadn’t reached yet. Slowly limping towards my sister and I, with no other alternative we gave in, but before that I had taken one last glimpse at the meter and it was little by little going down then up, then down again… fluctuation in short. I knew someone would find us and cure us with the recipe we left for the antidote, but until then on behalf of my sister and myself I bid farewell… for now.
