All Alone

It had just beginning to get dark, the small town Sage lived in was surrounded by corn fields as far as the eye could see. Nothing of interest had ever really happened here, except for the past couple weeks things were beginning to get a little strange. She was walking home from a friends house, hardly aware of anyone else. Usually there were at least some people on the road but for some reason the town was completely empty. Sage had been texting her boyfriend was off at college the whole walk home and had just learned he was coming home this weekend as she looked up from her phone smiling she quickly realized that she in fact was not alone. There was a dark figure up ahead just standing there under a lone street light, waiting. As Sage approached the dark figure she could see it was the owner of the bakery, Mr. Easterbee. She tapped him on the shoulder to ask him what he was doing all alone in the dark and when she did he turned around revealing a horrifically decayed face. His eyes were blood shot and sinister, he began to growl and lunged towards Sage attempting to tear into her flesh.

 Sage screamed at the top of her lungs and raced towards her house to tell her parents what she had encountered. But when Sage got to the steps of her house the screen door was hanging open ripped down the middle and the windows had been shattered. Sage's blood ran cold as she slowly opened her front door and saw her whole family being devoured by the towns people. One of them looked up mid bite with the intestines of her baby sister still dangling from his bloody decayed mouth and with the ferocity of a rabid dog attacked Sage. Sage able to dodge the attack and sprinted to the corn field behind her house but she quickly realized she was the only one in the town who had not become a zombie.
