The Beginning of The End.

Dear Diary,

I don't know how to feel. I don't even know if what happened in the last few hours was real or just another nightmare. It seems so... surreal.

Today I woke up and started the day as any other day. The usual stuff. Showering. Brushing teeth. Having breakfast. After this, I got into my father's car so that he would take me to school.

I know that I should have paid more attention. 

I didn't think that it was unusual when my father hadn't said a word for the first minute of the ride. Not even a 'Hi!' or 'Morning!'. I should have been more careful... but I can't change anything now, can I?

I realized that he started driving like he was drunk or dizzy. And my father doesn't drink. I asked him if he was okay. Again, no response. 

'Dad?!', I screamed from the backseat.

The next thing I saw terrified me. He turned his head at 180 degrees and stared at me. I will never forget what I saw. His face was all disfigured. His skin was peeling off and showing what was under. He looked putrid, dead. Blood was dripping from his eyes and mouth.

He was not looking at the road anymore, instead he was reaching back for me. I am not stupid, I knew he was a zombie but it didn't seem real. Zombies are just in movies, why was my dad one of them? Was I dreaming? Am I still dreaming? I don't know... I'm scared.

I screamed and opened the car door and jumped out of the car. I watched it crash with three other cars... and my father was inside there. I know it seems like a scene cut out from a action movie, and that's what I was thinking at the moment. Now it doesn't seem so impossible, after all the things I've seen today.

The whole street was full of people running away and screaming. I didn't know if they were terrified of the same thing as me or just the car accident. I looked around me and I saw a group of zombies approaching me and other people. God, it doesn't seem real. Even writing this word makes me feel like I'm writing some weird story or a plot for a sci-fi movie. My first instinct was to run. And that's what I did.

I was so scared that I didn't even realized that I was really close to the school. I thought I should get inside and announce someone about what I've seen. A part of me also thought that I was imagining things and some friend of mine will be there and calm me down and tell me that they have no idea what I was talking about. Oh, how I wish that happened...

I got inside and I saw everybody freaking out and students running everywhere. It was the exact same thing that was on the street. It made no sense to go back outside, and I couldn't run forever. So I needed to find a place where to hide. 

I knew that in the library was a small door in the ceiling that lead to some sort of attic. A really small one, that people used to deposit old books which wouldn't fit on the bookshelves. I decided to run to the library trying to avoid any zombies. On my way  there I saw something that completely shocked me. It made my heart race and I don't think I've screamed any louder in my entire life.

One of the zombies caught a girl who was running and took a bite of her and the girl fell down. That creature actually bit her arm off and ate her whole arm like it was a chocolate bar. And even worse, the girl became one of them. She stood up and and she looked like a zombie. She started following other zombies and chased the scared students. 

I was completely frozen. I was scared for my life and everybody's else. Is it really no way to stop these creatures? I continued to run to the library and somehow managed to push a zombie off me when it tried to bite my leg. I got inside the library and I was surprised to find that it was empty. I opened the trap to the small room and pushed the books away and made space for my body.

I am now here, in this small attic and writing in my diary. I figured it out that if I am going to die here I might as well write about what happened in case somebody survives and finds this diary. I don't know how this can help anyone but I saw some of them dead. So they can die. This thing that is happening can be somehow stopped. If I don't die here and somehow survive, I am going to take this journal with me and try to find other survivors. 

I am so scared. What is happening? Is this really the end? What if nobody actually survives? This is the end of the world. This creatures are going to eat us and we will probably become zombies. How did this apocalypse even start? Where did these zombies come from? They look like infected people and when they bite you they make you one of them, they infect you, so clearly there must be a virus which affected a group of people and they spread it around the world. Well, this might be my last entry in this diary...

Oh my God, I heard the door of the library open and close. Did somebody else think to hide in here? I don't wanna get out, maybe they are zombies, not humans. If they are, I hope they don't find me. I don't think they will. This place is almost impossible to see and even harder to reach. So, I think I'm safe for no_____
