[ WP ] Its the zombie apocalypse . You are completely oblivious to everything about it , although its been going on for 2 years now . Your routine the past 2 years has not changed at all .

Life has been plain as of late; go to school, go to work, chill with girl, chill with friends.... and so on and so forth. Moral of the story is my life is average, nothing new nothing exciting, although there had been rumors floating around the community that terrible things were happening outside of our county. I dismissed them because I try to take the small minded citizens of the village of Obetz in southside Columbus with a grain of salt. Today I was walking through the local bike trails that are adjacent to my neighborhood, and I was idly thinking about these rumors. They had been going around for a good month and a half or so, but my life had n't been changed, and I was n't going to let some outrageous story about a `` zombie apocalypse'' bog down my already bogged down life anymore. That's what got me to the trails in the first place. 
 
 
 The trails are looking quite beautiful today, yah see it's Ohio but its December 10th and 60 degrees outside, so it looks like all the nature has receded in on itself for the long winter ahead, but I'm outside walking in a tee-shirt and shorts. Around a curve in the distance, I see what looks like a faded black blur. As I approach the silhouetted figure I start to realize that he is not covered by shade at all. The boy is black from head to toe with ash. It looks as if he has regularly wallowing in ashes. With every step I take closer to the boy, I become more certain that the rumors were all true. This, what had to be 13-year-old boy had stepped onto a trail of a beautiful meadow that seemed untouched. He is probably debating on what is approaching him so I hesitantly say, `` It's okay. Everything is alright, what happened to you?'' He gave me a look like I could n't be trusted, and put his hands on the makeshift knife he had in a holster around his waist. I thought to myself rather light-heartedly while being faced with my possible doom,'life is never going to be the same again...... 
 
 
 ( Just starting out. My English professor recommended writing short stories on Reddit, and really thinks I have a knack for writing. Thought I'd start giving it a couple goes. If you hate it tell me... If you love it tell me.... If you'd like to see where it goes tell.... Thanks! )
