The sign hung just out of reach, she walked closer to get a better look and read it. “Please evacuate the area immediately. This notice is by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). We ask that all able bodied individuals leave the area immediately and seek shelter in underground protected bunkers. This zone is considered level Biosafety level 4. Leave immediately, if you contact the zone call this number 888-445-3456 for assistance. All persons are asked to evacuate, thanks for your compliance.” She read the note again and the words bounced off of her with no regard. 5 years 18 days and still no break in the creatures that started in this exact location. The world had been destroyed and ripped of all she knew. The few survivors said there was a cure, it sure was taking its time. She read the note again just to remember the past. A time before they roamed the earth, a time before the chaos, a time she wouldn’t get back. She hiked up her gun and whistled for her dog. The road was long but life was different, maybe not for the worse, maybe not for the better, maybe just life in the apocalypse.
