Narrator: Things have changed. Things are different now. Things will never be the same again. The enemy lives within us. Our own country is fighting each other. Except, only half the country is alive. A disease called "Mogul" (named after the scientist who discovered it in early January) has infected the world. It causes the host to attack the victim wildly. They are turned into your modern day zombie. On this Wednesday morning the ZAT (Zombie Assault Team) was under attack in the city of New York. George Williams, our protagonist, was held up in a building over looking times square.
George: We've got to get out of this shop sergeant! We'll be overran in no time if we continue to just sit here!
Stg. Trust: You will follow my orders when I give them! And right now we are defending this building!
Narrator: There was a panic in the streets seeing how the incoming attack was so recent. Not only were people running up and down the streets but zombies were patrolling them as well. Squad Aero was sitting in the building like sitting ducks when they could be saving lives. There was a loud shatter of glass from behind George. 12 zombies had made their way into the shop from the back of the building. Squad Aero was soon overwhelmed.
George: Damn it! Fight!
Narrator: Squad Aero held for a good amount of time but had to retreat up the stairs as the crowd of 12 turned into a crowd of 26. There were 7 total men in the squad. Pvt. Williams, Pvt. Stone, Pvt. Miller, Pvt. Ewing, Pvt. Harrison, Pvt. Snyder, and Sgt. Trust. Only Williams, Miller and Trust made it up to the second floor. Little did the men realize that were a few zombies in the many floors that lead to floor 26. Williams and Trust made it to the roof. Miller was surrounded on the 16th floor.
Williams: I request immediate helicopter pickup! I repeat! I request immediate helicopter pickup!
Trust: It'll be no use Pvt! They'll swamp us before the helicopter even gets around the block.
Narrator: The two men held off on the roof until the helicopter showed up. A group of 8 or more zombies rushed and surrounded Trust before he could get to the helicopter. The group charged Williams as he rushed to the helicopter patiently waiting for him. Williams jumped the gap inbetween the building and the helicopter. The soldier riding helped him inside.
Pilot: Alright boys, let's head home.
The End
