“ ugh, Terrance the Undead are here.”

“Are they?” Terrance got up to look at the crowd of undead outside. “holy fuck they move faster in herds than expected.” Terrance closed the window and looked back at the group.

“Alright there's nothing left to do but hold off till we can’t” Terrance readied his fireman Ax.

“Ladies just stay here where we can protect you all.” Franklin Finds A Weapon. Taking a knife out of the kitchen drawer.

Franklin noticed the undead walking behind the house. “We're surrounded.” Franklin said out loud. Banging started to happen against the house.

“There at the front door.” Tacos started to bark at the door. “Throw the couch down the entrance way.” “it will stop them from coming up.” Terrance suggested.

Quickly Shane and Terrance tipped over the couch knocking off Retia.

She layed where she fell. Passed out. Laughing Molly started to drag her friend out of the way.

Shane and Terrance threw the couch over the ledge and watched it fall to the door being busted open. Standing behind the couch Terrance and Shane fought using their axes. Chopping the Undead as they came in.

Then music turned on. Molly started up the DVD player and played a Cd Containing some 90’s Techno Trance.

Terrance and Shane Chopped at the Zombies. One after another they swung at the hands and the heads, Chopping into the incoming horde. Glass started to be broken in the basement.

They started to accumulate a small pile of Undead. Shane started to breathe heavily.

“Get out of the way.” Franklin took the Ax and started to chop.

“Shane, stop the music.” Shane ran to the DVD Player and pulled the plug from the inverter.

“Hey, I was Listening to that.” “ Sorry my love it's not the time.”

Franklin and Terrance fought and fought, killing as many as they could till Franklin's Ax got caught in the collarbone of one undead, Then more grabbed on to Franklin. Terrance tried to fight the horde and pull Franklin back from the Crowd. Till Terrance only had a grasp of Franklin's Leg They Sank their teeth into Franklin. Biting him in every possible location and tearing at the wounds, Ripping him apart. Franklin was Screaming for the most part then it was so fast Franklin was in pieces. And the Undead feasted.

Terrance swung and Retreated up the stairs as the undead poured in. Caught at the stairwell behind the couch and pile of dead. Taco Barked at the Undead.

“Where do we go? They are behind the house too.”

“ Molly grab your friend Retia, Shane help her grab Retia.”

“ What are you?” Shane questioned as he watched Terrance swing his ax at the main window.

busting it open and looking out at the undead that surrounded the front lawn and the fire engine that was right below more than 3 feet across from the main window. Terrance looking across to the engine the jump made him uneasy. “The undead don’t make this any easier.”

“Alright time to spread my eagle wings and fly out the nest.” Terrance took a deep breath and bolted across from the back of the living room. He leaped for his life. He flew above and across the undead. Landing on his side on top of the fire engine.Terrance stood up, Looking down the undead surrounded the turck and there was no way of getting in the fire truck. But the roof controls and water cannon were still accessible. Terrance caught his breath and got behind the ladder controls. He extended it to the window. “You guys get in the bucket.”

Molly got in then Shane lifted her Friend Retia passing her over the bucket’s railing to Molly. Taco jumped in the Bucket.

“Oh My God SHANE LOOK OUT!” Shane spun around and pushed the crowd of undead back.

“Aaaahhrrgh back the Fuck up!” Shane threw an undead into the crowd, sending them back for enough time for Shane to turn back around and hop back into the bucket.

Terrance used the lever and pulled the Extended bucket back and away from the window as undead fell from the opening back into the crowd down below. Terrance switched the lever forward and lifted them up to the top of the roof in the bucket. Shane got out on top and helped Molly lift over the passed out Retia. Taco Jumped out onto the rooftop.

A zombie grabbed Terrance from behind and Tried to bite Terrance but he turned around real fast and threw the zombie off the fire engine.

“Fuck off me, wait a second.” Terrance noticed that the Undead that grabbed him was one of the guys that robbed him and Shane on the dirt road. Terrance looked around. “ There you are.”

“Hello Axel, you're looking well.” The undead axel turned around to be seen with no jaw and a tongue dangling from his Bloodied mouth. “Yup, even better looking now than before.” Terrance turned on the Water cannon. “For franklin.” Terrance started to use the water cannon. Shooting the undead around the truck. The water cannon was so powerful it shredded the skin and broke the limbs of the undead. Sending waves of the undead to the ground. The water cannon blasted and enough of the undead crowd around the vehicle. Then the water in the cannon tank ran out.

Terrance hopped down and rolled upon landing. He Ran and grabbed his

Shotgun off the Dead Axel. “Thanks for bringing back what was mine you undead prick.” Terrance Shot the last round in the gun at the incoming Undead. And ran back to the Fire engine. Terrance Climbed up the fire engine then climbed on top the roof and then climbed up the Ladder more Undead followed him right to the fire engine and started surrounding the vehicle pushing and shaking it. As Terrance climbed up. Once he got to the top of the roof of his house the undead tipped over the fire truck and surrounded the house pushing and shoving the base of the house shaking the two story structure.

“There’s too much they will bring down this house.” Shane said, looking at the Undead. Shane opened his little bag of cocaine and snorted the rest. “Shane what the hell man?” “What? Can’t a Man do his cocaine and die in peace?” “Fair enough.” Terrance responded then

Terrance walked over to Molly and hugged her standing on the roof as the Dead surrounded the house in the thousands. “ Molly If were going to die, I just wanted to say I loved you and every moment I spent living with you.” “Shut up, look!” Molly pointed across to a huge Tractor combine that came driving down the road with its blades spinning. The Undead crowd shambled towards the tractor, The huge combine drove through the Crowd of undead and continued down the road. The Combine chopped and spewed out the back of its rear the remains of chopped undead people.

The massive Crowd followed the huge Combine tractor, leaving the house.

“Shane, I will lower you down, grab the ladder from the garage,let's grab some supplies and take the truck out of here.” “Yeah, let's go.” Shane Walked to the back of the house Terrance followed him and Shane started to climb over the ledge lowering himself over slowly.

Terrance held one hand out from Shane to grab on to with both hands.

Then lowered him as far as he could laying on the roof of the building. Shane let go of Terrerances hand and Reached for a window ledge Grabbing the side of the window tops. He used his strength to hold himself up, Shane turned and gave a shoulder glance to see the ground. Shane jumped down the rest of the way. Rolling upon landing. Shane ran to the garage. And came back out with a high ladder. Shane started to extend the Ladder and place it right for Molly to make her way down. Terrance picked up and carried Retia over his shoulder Carefully he navigated the ladder steps then started to climb down. “ Be right back for you, my boy.”

Taco licked his lips.

Half way down the ladder. More undead came out from inside the house. “ Terrance the Undead.” “ Almost there.” Terrance got off the ladder and put Retia on the ground beside him.

Terrance noticed the ax that got caught in one of the undead was still impaled in the collar bone of the undead.

Shane ran to the Shack and pulled out a Heavy duty Wrench. Side by side they walked towards the undead. Terrance Grabbed on the ax in the undead, with his right leg he kicked it free sending the undead to the ground.pushing back the one beside him. Giving him room to swing the ax and hit the head of one incoming. Shane smashed the head of the one on the ground then swung at another about to reach and take a bite out of Terrance.

“Thanks, I didn’t see that one.” Terrance axed the last two with two swift head chops.

“Alright, that's the last of them, let's get inside.”

Molly ran inside and So did Shane. Terrance bent over to Pick up Retia, over his shoulder Retia slung. Then Terrance walked over to the Truck and placed her inside the back seat.

Terrance shut the door. And walked back to the front door of the house.

The dead piled up smelt awful. Terrance had to turn his head away at the stench.

Climbing over the corpses and making his way up the steps into his house.

Terrance walked into his kitchen and opened a water cooler's unopened blue jug of water and poured some into a pitcher. “ I will have a Glass.” “Here.” Terrance opened his cupboards and pulled out three glasses.

They stood around the kitchen table drinking water. “Shit was crazy.” said Terrance as he chugged the rest of his glass of water. Then Terrance walked to the fridge and opened it to start making some sandwiches. Pulling ham and cheese slices from the fridge. “ Where's the bread?”

“We're out.” Molly Repiled “ That's ok I will use buns.” “ There are no more of those.”

“ Fuck did the Undead eat all of our food too?” “We haven't gone shopping yet.” Terrance wiped his eyes with his fingers out of stress. “ Alright, we still have crackers, am I correct?”

“Yes, Right here.” Molly hands Terrance a box of Wheat long Crackers.

“Well, we still got 4 water jugs for the most part, a few boxes of cereal and crackers. canned fish and soup.”

Shane nodded and started to Box them up. “ Yeah, let's get these in the truck and get to the band office.”

Terrance started to pack the water bottles out of the Truck. Molly walked back into her and Terrance’s room and started to pack a bunch of clothes in a grange bag.

Opening drawers and throwing her thongs, garments and leggings in the bag and taking her favorite sweaters from the closet. Then stopped and opened a family Photo album. Tears fell from her face when she saw a photo of her father and mother. Then she closed the album and put it in the bag. Molly walked back out the house still a bit buzzed.

Terrance and Shane were placing the last water bottles in the truck.

“Let's go, the undead are on the way.”

“Can we stop by debbies?” “ I don’t think we can, that's on the highway and there were way too many coming from that way.” Terrance replied and got in. Molly got in the Truck Front seat passenger. And Shane Hopped in the backseat with the passed out Retia. They started driving. Terrance looked to his left and down the road the columbine was surrounded and the machine was stuck.

Terrance pulled the truck into Cousin warrens. Who came outside to his front porch.

“Where are you all heading?” “The band office, you wanna come?” “Yeah me and the boys and carlette will hop in the back. “ Boys come get in the back of the truck, cousin Terrance came to bring us to the band office.” The boys came outside cheering happily to hop in the back of the truck. Carlette didn't like the idea of riding in the back and wanted to have the seat next to the Passed out Retia. So Shane pushed over and let her sit inside the back seat. They continued to drive down the dirt roads to the band office.

Terrance turned on the country cd he had in the truck. “ Fuck, oh well….but fuck.” “What?” Molly asked with concern. “I Forgot My Weed.” he took a deep breath. “Terrance.” Terrance looked in the rear view mirror to see Shane hand him a Joint from his pocket.

“Thanks man!” Terrance sparked it up and continued driving. “ MMMMMMMM Smells Goood!” Retia Sat up, “Where we going… to PArty!”

“No, were escaping the undead trying to, Fucking, Eat US!” Terrance said with an angry tone.

“Woah what crawled up your ass died and came back alive? Now pass the joint” Retia quickly responded.

“Retia cut the shit out I seriously had enough with tonight, im just tryna keep us safe and I dont need you slowing me the fuck down.” Terrance said, looking at Retia in the rear view mirror.

“ Okay, cool, sorry, can you pass the joint?” “No.” “what? Well go fuck yourself, smoke your shity dick weed.”

Retia then looked at Carlette. “ What are you looking at? Look over there creep.” Then Retia looked through her pants pocket to find her smoke pack. She opened and pulled out a bent smoke. She broke off the filter and sparked up the unfiltered smoke. Retia inhaled and exalted the smoke into Carlettes face.

“Geez, I can't even wake up around here without the worst attitudes surrounding me.”

“Come on, really Terrance, do we really need to put up with her?” Shane asked with a sound of plea in his voice.

“I’m starting to wonder why myself.” “Shut the fuck up Terrance, you and Molly love me.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Shane questioned.

“It means every now and again your sister and her man get drunk and we all fuck the living hell out of each other.”

“Seriously?” Shane looked at Terrance who stared at him through the mirror then looked back at the road.

“Your animals.” Shane sorted another bump and shook his head. “ ohh yes that's the spot.”

“Alright, the back of the truck isn't looking so bad at the moment.” Carlette said out loud.

They all looked at Carlette. Then Terrance looked back at the road to see the band office ahead of them. “Alright there she is right in front of us.” pulling the truck right up to the doors the lights were on.

“Lights are on, backup power generators?” Shane questioned.

“I'm guessing.” Terrance said. “Let's get moving inside we go.” Terrance opened his door and the crew got out from the back and started to make their way inside. There was no undead outside.

Terrance gave a quick glance and opened the doors and closed the door and threw his ax in the handles locking the front door of the band office.

Terrance turned to see Shane behind the Front desk. “Shane, what are you doing? Quit playing around.”

Shane jokingly “ Cheque please!” Then Shane held up an Envelope.

“haha , are the chief and counsel in?” “ Nope.” “The usual.” Terrance joked back.

Then Shane yelled out and Pulled his leg back out.

The front desk lady was dead and underneath the desk she had took a huge chunk from

Shanes leg. “ Noooo!” Terrance cried out and watched Shane Wrench the undead lady in the head.

“Fuck, fuck…fuck…” Shane said as he fell back on to the ground.behind the desk blood profusely spurted out from his leg. Molly Cried out and Retia held Molly who turned to look away from her dying brother.

“This doesn't look good, man.” Terrance said to Shane

“Terrance, im… I’m Scared, to die, man.” Shane said, holding really tight onto Terrance.

“I’m sorry bro the blood is coming out too much I can’t stop it.”

Shane started to cough up his own blood then his grip loosened.

Terrance watched Shane die. Terrance stood up with tears rolling down his face. Shane's body started to convulse rapidly, and his eyes blood red rivers and blood spat out his mouth.

Terrance was in shock of Shane becoming a transformed monster.

“Get down!” Terance jumped away and rolled on the floor and Warren shot his sks into Shane who stood up to attack Terrance. The bullets ripped through the skull leaving a fair sized exit wounds for blood and matter to leak from once Shane hit the floor.

Molly and Retia left the room to the back. And Terrance sat looking at his Friend Shane.

His friend Warren walked over and Put his hand on his crying friends back to comfort him over Warrens cousins dead body.

"Fuck!" Terrance cried out. "what?" Warren asked.

" I Forgot Taco on the House."
