Here is the short story!!

Here is the short story for class.


Jay has always had a dull life. Every day he would get up and go through the same routine all the time. First he would get out of bed at 9 o ‘clock, then go take a shower and brush his teeth for 15 minutes exactly, then put on his dull grey business suit. After that, he would eat the same Bran cereal with his family, and then he would head off to work every day on the bus. Until one day when he was walking to the bus stop, he saw a tree shaking. As he kept walking, a body fell out of the tree, and a couple of seconds later the body rose up and looked at Jay. Jay turned very slowly and walked the other way, but as he started to walk, another body popped out of a dumpster and grunted at Jay. Jay finally realized that it was now time to run. As ran down the street screaming, zombies were chasing him around the neighborhood. As one zombie almost grabbed a hold of Jay’s suit jacket, he flailed his arms in the arm, while screaming and took his briefcase and smacked the zombie in the face. When he did that, he brought the briefcase up and saw that the zombie’s face was stuck on his briefcase and the zombie’s tongue stuck out. Jay dropped his briefcase and ran off screaming in the opposite direction. Jay kept running until he saw a building and no one was inside. Jay called his family and asked if they were ok and his wife yelled yes and said that they were in a fortified area in the middle of downtown. It was just his luck that he has to go past the deadliest place in the city just to get to his family and be safe. He took a deep breath and started his journey through the city. He grabbed a knife he saw sticking out of a zombie’s neck, but he thought to himself that he needs to put some distance between himself and a zombie if he is attacked. So he broke into a store and grabbed a mop handle and tied his newly acquired knife to it to make a spear. He also grabbed a wooden baseball bat and put nails into it to use it as a blunt club. The next day he started his trek to get to his family and the safe zone. While he was sneaking around, he saw a zombie that use to be a clown walking around doing cartwheels, he did not know what to make of the strange scene, so he put his head down and kept walking slowly. As he snuck through the city to get to his family he called his family to tell him that he is safe and getting closer and closer, but after a while, days went by and his wife could not get a hold of Jay, no one heard from Jay again… Or did they?
