A cloud of dirt followed the tractor as they all drove towards the town. You couldn't see it, but it soon would be coming up. Hopefully, even though it was taking forever. The moon shone over the 6 of them. Christine drove while Micheal stayed on the back, trying to maintain his balance as he stayed vigilant. Jeremy was slumped against Jake, and Rich was on Jake, both boys asleep. Brooke was also asleep, curled up below them.  What sucks was you couldn't check the time- it was a damn video game.

Christine kept her eyes on the road ahead of them, the tractor's lights illuminating the way. She yawned to herself.

"Mikey, how long does it take?" She whispered softly.

Michael looked over at Christine. He still had his axe in his hands. "I have no idea, but it shouldn't be too long."

Christine nodded. Michael felt the smooth metal of the axe and tried to stay awake.

"We should be getting there." Jake replied to both of them.

Michael and Christine jumped in surprise. 

"Dude, you scared us!" Michael tried to keep his voice down.

"You should rest, Jake." Christine added.

"Can't sleep." Jake insisted. "Plus, I gotta protect Rich."

"Gotta protect who?" Michael smirked at Jake.

"I uhhh... gotta protect you guys!" He said.

"Uh huh." Christine rolled her eyes.

Christine looked back at the road. As she did, a limp sign passed by. It read:


In 5 miles: Town Rtyn.


"Guys, look!" Christine pointed at the sign. 

Michael and Jake examined where she was pointing. They noticed the sign and cheered silently.

"Alright. So Mikey, what happens when we get there?" Jake asked.

"Well," Michael started, "First, the tractor gets ripped by the zombies, so we leave fast. We explore a bit. Of course, it's foggy. We gotta find a shop. It has weapons and food."

"Awesome." Jake yawned, still having his arms wrapped around little sleeping Rich.


After about 10 minutes, the group made it. And Michael was right- there was fog everything, blocking their vision. Jake carried Rich, Michael carried Jeremy in one and his axe in the other, and Christine took Brooke. They set them down in a vacant corrupted house. Christine sat beside the three sleeping teenagers.

"Okay Christine, me and Jake are gonna look for the shop. Stay here, we'll be back, don't move." Michael said. Jake nodded in agreement.

Christine snapped her fingers and the belt appeared, with the shurikens.

"Let's go, little man!" Jake said, grabbing Michael's arm as they left. He blew a kiss to Rich as he left.


Christine rolled her eyes jokingly. She examined the shuriken's points. 


After about an estimated hour, the door was knocked down, followed my groans and moans.
