Unholy Nightmare

We drove to every major city in California hoping that I could find a safer place than Huntington Beach for all of us but they were all like our hometown. Even the smaller cities were littered with bodies and obviously overrun. My phone rang and I seen it was Brian so I put it on speaker.

"How's everything doing there?" I asked as I answered the phone.

"They're alright. So where are we headed?"

"It looks like we're going to have to leave the state but we've got to get supplies first." I said and I turned at the stop light to go towards the Wal-Mart.

"Alright I'll call the others and let them know what we're doing."

"Thanks Bri." I said before hanging up the phone and placing it back into the cup holder. I spotted the Wal-Mart sign up ahead and I pulled into the parking lot and taking a space close to the doors. The others parked right beside me as I got out of my car.

"So what do we need to get?" Johnny asked as he held Lacey's hand and keeping her close. I wish I had someone to do that with but with my wife gone...I guess I'll never be able to find that again.

"We need to get the essentials. You know like food, water, blankets. I'm going across the road over to the gun shop to get us some weapons." I said grabbing one of the rolling carts.

"So we're just going to steal all of this stuff?"

"Lacey, there's nothing left and we need what we can find to survive. The world is basically in fend-for-yourself mode." Zacky said and she nodded in understanding.

"Keep and eye on everyone Brian." He nodded and I made my way over to the gun shop. Cars lined parts of the road and some even had the windows broken out of them. There were a few that had torn up and bloody bodies inside them. I walked to the door and pulled it open quietly. I looked around not seeing or hearing anything from inside.

I went behind the counter and a body of the clerk was lying on the floor with his belly ripped open and his intestines were everywhere on the floor around him. I stepped over him and grabbed box after box of ammunition and set them on the counter to be loaded up when I'm finished. I found some metal tipped arrows and then the crossbow they went to. The walls were covered with several different types of handguns, shotguns, rifles, and knives. I grabbed a few of every type of gun and one machete. I went back around the counter and took each gun and loaded them. I placed them into the cart along with the machete and ammo boxes and left the shop.

The place was so quiet and deserted as I made my way through the Wal-Mart parking lot. I pushed the cart through the doors and I couldn't believe the sight. Mutilated and tattered bodies were scattered all over the floor. It looked like a scene from a war movie or better yet right out of Call Of Duty: Black Opts. I went around and picked up some canned items, bottles and jugs of water, plenty of cases of beer, pots, pans, pillows, blankets, and I even went over to the Pharmacy section and grabbed anything we might need. I grabbed up plenty of cold medicines and antibiotics plus some bandages and wraps before going over to where some men's hygiene items were. I put bottle after bottle of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream, and packs among packs of razors. I spotted my favorite cologne and completely emptied the shelf.

"Hey Shads...damn do you think you picked up enough shit?"

"Well I'm making sure we're prepared. Let's gather up everyone else and head on out." I said and we walked around and got everyone together. We left the store and I started loading everything into the trunk except for the guns and ammo. I did put the crossbow and arrows and one automatic rifle into the front seat of my Camaro.

"Here Johnny, Lacey." I said giving them each a gun and 2 boxes of ammo. I went around to each person and gave them a weapon and the ammo they would need. I got into the car and petted Bella's head before starting the engine. The others did the same and followed me out of the Wal-Mart parking lot. I just hope we have enough supplies to last us for a while but for now I need to find us a place that isn't crawling with the dead or is that just too much to ask for?
