Personal Narrative: Zombie Apocalypse
Zombie Apocalypse It was a dark spooky Halloween night, I had just finished watching Spookley, the Square Pumpkin. After a long night of handing out non-poisoned candy to weird staggering tots at my doorstep, I felt it was time to turn off the light. Walking to my room, I tripped on something slimy, being dismissive, I labeled it as my long lost sweater and threw it in the hamper. The corridor to my room seemed longer than usual this night, my steps seemed louder, offbeat almost. I quickly looked behind me, no one was there. Picking up my pace, the steps sounded closer, faster. Detecting my room door, I flew in and shut the door. with my back turned towards it. I’m panting, out of breath. Turning away the cover to my bed, I saw it. It was …show more content…
At this point the beast was so close I could smell every malodorous scent emitted by its decaying flesh.
I couldn’t stand waiting for any longer, I made a dash for the other corner, and bolted for the door. It wasn’t like a could kill it. Once out, I scrambled out the steps and fumbled out the main door. It was then apparent to me that this was no ordinary Halloween night. I stood soul-harrowed, hundreds of floundering bodies crowded my once happy neighborhood.
Suddenly a thought struck my mental, where is my family? I couldn’t run inside. Paralyzed with fear I stood there, wishing so desperately it would all go away. Almost instantly, my eyes flopped open. I laid frozen in my bed, scanning my surroundings to ensure nothing was gobbling on my flesh. Once I felt it was clear, I jolted out into the kitchen, to be greeted by my mother making pancakes. It was so strange I didn’t believe it. I ran outside, still in my pajamas from the previous night. Nothing. It was all in my head.
Sometimes there are situations in life, and sometimes you just have to calm down, meditate, and trust that everything will be

    I looked to my left then to my right, it was dark all around, except for the light emanating from the flashlight mounted on my gun. I cradled my assault rifle, it was my lifeline, if it was gone, I was dead, or worse... Alive. I heard a shriek, not from a human, but from a zombie...... I looked down the alleyway ahead it was fully dark now, I heard running footsteps behind me. I turned around as fast as I could. A blood covered zombie was running toward me, I was scared for my life. I chopped the zombie down with my rifle, the muzzle flashes lighting up the ally. Suddenly I heard the blood curdling cries of many zombie- oh no, I made to much noise. Now they were pouring in from the street into the alleyway I was in. Around forty of them were coming towards me, I turned around to try to escape.. at least five more in that direction. i sprayed the five zombies down with my gun, pulled the pin on a grenade, dropped it, and sprinted in that direction. I made it onto the street.…

    My favorite horror genre are zombie horror. Zombies are an interesting topic about dead bodies coming to life and infecting other people through a virus. It's good because you can use regular weapons to defeat them. They also are very slow but scary, if you get bitten, unless you amputate the affected limb, you're doomed. The survivors of the wasteland, covered in zombies, are badasses with guns and axes. There are even multiple versions of zombies like bashers, pukers, bombers, walkers, and crawlers. My favorite reason is because you can make diy weapons to smash skulls in. Those are the reasons i love zombies. (im also going as a zombie killer for halloween this year =3)…

    So there I was with my roommate two days earlier in the afternoon in the afternoon watching The Walking Dead. Afterwards, all of the sudden my roommate had the most craziest question “what if this really happens really? and then I responded to her “this could never happen” with a laugh. I was a realistic person, what could I say. Then at night, while laying down I started to think “this could never happen in million years.Then I started to laugh “that is stupid, there is just no way”. Afterwards I fell asleep. All of the sudden around midnight, I started hearing loud screams and I started to panic. Once I open my lids, I finally realized that it was coming from my roommate. I was a bit frightening because she looked so pale compared to her original skin color. And maybe I thought that she has seen a ghost because I have never seen her like that before in my entire life.That is when…

    When I was a kid there was so many things that scared me such as horror movies, clowns, spider, and other things. Every time Halloween came around I get this feeling where people would get killed going to others houses for candy or to the haunted house. Because many have died from these type of situations. That's what scared me the most I have a fear of dying which a lot of people do. It's the biggest thing that anyone would want to go through. I've had dreams about what might happen if I die like how would it feel or the position I'll be in.…

    I frantically turned off the television and stared around the den with a paranoid expression. Who knows what could be lurking behind the striking red curtains that mysteriously shifted back and forth or even underneath the soft brown leathered couch. My mind quickly flashed back to the horror movie I had just finished watching by myself at the dead of night. Turning off the light, I was submerged in a darkness in which I felt I was being watched. Sprinting out of the den, I started to scramble up the stairs mimicking a scared cat, and turned quickly into the hallway and stared into the shadows that stood between me and the path to safety. My feet sunk into the beige carpet as I hustled towards the door at the very end of the hall and cursed myself for choosing to have the room farthest away from anyone else. My hand grasped the metal door knob and turned it, but before I could breathe out a sigh of relief, my face contorted into an expression of horror.…

    After that long night was over it was time for breakfast. My mother asked about my first night alone. Again I did not mention anything to her about the strange noise. It was now night two and I was very afraid. A loud shrill woke me up; I felt a cold breeze rushing through my hair. The hairs on my skin suddenly raised up like spikes. My whole body shivered and my legs were shaking like a rattle. Sleeping alone was not so pleasant after all. I missed my sister and whatever it was that was haunting me just wasn’t leaving me alone.…

    I sat on my front porch on a cold, dark Halloween night. The wind howled as it blew straight through my bones. The crisp smell of leaves from colorful layers over my lawn flowed through the air. The only light visible was that of the street lamp at the end of the street. It was giving off a creepy glow setting me in a nervous mood. Then I finally saw a pair of headlights come over the hill approaching my house. Finally the car pulled up to my driveway. I instantly jumped into the back seat. I let out a sigh as I sunk into the soft material of the car seat. The familiar smell of leather filled my nostrils. Cody and Sam looked backed at me.…

    Her name was Bianca, Halloween is the one thing she looked forward to all year round, seeing the houses decorated, feeling the breeze of fall brushing against her body and the wondrous scent of candy, all these things brought joy to her. Every house she had been to was so generous towards her, she could never be happier. However she came across one particular house, it was old and rusty and had no decoration, no scent of candy and no sight of people. Only by pure curiosity, she skipped her way through the poorly cut lawn and onto the doorstep, she rang the bell as much as her delicate fingers could handle, waiting anxiously for a response. The door slowly began to open, and the light that came with it helped the girl to be able to see her surroundings more clearly. “Hello, little girl,” said the female behind the door “You’re looking for candy huh?” Bianca nodded enthusiastically, flashing the girl with her white set of teeth. “Well, you’re not getting any.”…

    The rays pieced the veil which was my room, my eyes burned from the light streaming through the blinds. I felt my surroundings warp around me; I could feel the wetness beneath of the previous night’s events. Unfortunately I had vomited on myself in my drunken endeavours, my ears rang, and my head spun, I could possibly have the worst hangover of the century. I have no memory of last night in my drunken state; I felt my pockets for evidence. All I could find was my wallet, car keys, someone else’s identity and I had lost my own, not knowing who I was. I then having a vague idea of where I was at last night set off to find an understanding of who I am and what had happened to me the previous night.I walked around my house looking for remnants of the previous night, I stumbled upon a figure sleeping on my couch, he was a stocky male around 6ft, and I hesitantly nudged him trying to wake him. His eyes opened wide neither one of us knew what was going on. Till he leapt from the couch and embraced with a hug, it felt like a bear was squeezing the life from me. After a few awkward moments he said “bro that party was mad” I thought my party, what party. I then began to converse with this stranger “who am I” with a confused look he replied. “John what’s wrong with you, are you that hungover”. “Who the f### is john, I can’t remember john” I ask the stranger in a demanding tone.…

    As I opened the door, I was startled to find darkness occupying our room as candles were lit on every corner of the room. A cold breeze from an opened window dashed passed my skin sending shivers down my spine as I took my first step into the room. Paused, standing by the door, curiosity filled my thoughts. What was happening? I pondered. I grabbed Josh’s hand and told him to check the room as I walked cowardly behind him. I was overwhelmed with fear.…

    I was suddenly awakened in the middle of night.As I glanced around there was no one except me,laying on an uncomfortable bed.Slowly,I got down from my bed and tiptoed to the window.A slight of cool breeze whipped to my ears.Dead leaves rattled in the wind.There was a stony prickling silence except for the eerie sound of chilly wind howling in the air.Goosebumps sprouted on my skin all over my frail body.A sliver of moonlight glimmered through the wind,slicing my pallid face.Slowly,I swept my dry face and sighed heavily.I had same dream that haunted me for years .A streak of remorse jabbed into my soul.A purged of guilt poured deep into my heart.I had a bad memory.The memory was glistening trough my luminous intriguing dark eyes.…
