I was on my way home from an expedition that had extended to over 2 weeks. I lay in a dark forest, I was exhausted from the walk and my legs were in pain so I laid down to rest. My eyes begin to close then I start to imagine winning the lottery. I giggle to myself then open my eyes to see that I am still in the forest but something is different. The sky is now a dreadful black, I had slept through the day into night. “That’s impossible I closed my eyes for 2 minutes” was the thought that was traveling through my mind, I was a little concerned how it was night but none the less I continued my journey home.

It had been about 5 hours but I still had a little way to go I also had no source of communication with anyone because my phone had broken while I was rock climbing, I didn't have the money to buy or rent another one.I had finally reached my destination but something was off about it, there was no one around, no one was running down the street, no one in cars, not even anyone in the houses. “Something very strange is going on here” I stated as I slowly opened my door and placed my things inside. 

I go over to the home phone and call my friend Hilton he doesn't answer but a voice on the other side says his phone number doesn't even exist I begin to look around looking for anyone in town I still find no one I begin panicking thinking that everyone has left or just disappeared then I hear some noises in the alley next to my house. I slowly approach the alley and begin to observe my surroundings I see that the walls are still spray-painted with graffiti. I start to hear some rummaging in the garbage then out comes a dog but who seems to be different from other dogs. He looked weird, he had red eyes and blood around his mouth. The dog begins to start barking at me so I ran as fast as I could to get away from the dog and jumped in a car and drove away. As I was driving I spotted someone walking in the distance, this person looks  like a dog but in human form. Their eyes are red and I can see blood around their mouth. I realise what is going on, It is a Zombie Infestation.


I couldn’t believe what is happening. I had only been gone on a quick vacation and now it is a zombie apocalypse. This isn’t real it can’t be. I continue my drive to find what could be happening or to find some help at least when suddenly a huge truck comes out of nowhere and smashes straight into my car. I am sent in spirals, car spinning out of control and crashes into the side of a house. I begin to hear ringing in my ears but my body seems to be unharmed, I steep out of the car pushing ruble out of my way which by now I am shocked how I survived the crash unharmed.
Now that my car is demolished, I have to walk to find help or if there even is any. I walk for hours and hours but find nothing I then think of something, it was crazy but might be correct if I fell asleep in the forest during the day and woke up at night was this all a dream considering I didn’t hurt myself in the car I begin to try various tests to make sure I wasn't just lucky. The first test was hitting my arm on a fence, I don't feel it then hitting my head was next, also I don't feel it “This was a dream!” I said passionately now I just need to wake up. I try closing my eyes and opening them it doesn't work I am still in the town then I figure the only way to truly wake up is to die in my dream so I find a vehicle and jump inside it I then start driving towards the nearest cliff or steep hill I drive all the way to the top of the hill. When I reach the top I turn my car around and speed down the hill and I crash straight into a house. When I open my eyes I am in the forest and it is day. In shock, I sprint as fast as I can towards home and see everyone walking around cars as loud as ever and the neighborhood being normal.
