SURVIVAL

She is just destroying the vineyard row trying to get to him. He is heavily breathing and thanking his lucky stars he made. He then slowly gets up but not all the way to make sure that she can't see him then dust himself off, but not so loudly she knows he is there but she can't see him so, Alex doesn't want her to find him so.

Alex dust himself off softly he then slowly starts to walk to the end of the row he is in. So he can get to his Mother and help her, Alex almost get to the end of the row. He then he stops to see if he can see his Father or any of the other workers, but still nothing the only worker he sees is the one that was trying to eat him, Alex gets to the end of the row and crouch down and looks to his left and then to his right and sees that it is all clear.

Alex goes onto the dirt road that goes down to the right side of the vineyard he is walking slowly down the four rows checking all of them before he goes down making sure she is not in one of them looking for him. Alex then comes across the second row and sees that she has broken threw the first row and is looking around to see if she can't find him.

Her hands is covered in blood. The blood is dripping on the ground as she is giving of a scream he has never heard before as she is turning to her right side as he ducks behind the third row and wait for her to turn to the left so that he can move on. She start to walk to where he is now panicking thinking of a way to distract her as she is slowly walking towards him then she hears a noise and turns around and runs towards the noise.

Alex sigh a breath of relief and slowly walks to the end of the dirt road and then turns to the left and runs until he get to the end of the dirt road then gets onto the cement road and slowly walk up to the restaurant and checking if he can see anybody, but what he sees is like a battlefield gone horribly wrong there is dead body's covered in blood, torn clothes and tables turn over its a bloody mess. Everywhere he can see is, Alex slowly approaching the kitchen door. Alex starts coughing and his eyes are burning from all the smoke he is inhaling.

He is walking towards the kitchen door which is a glass door as he sees his Mother and her back turn towards him. Alex starts to scream Mom!... Mom!.. Mom!.. Mom! as he is walking towards the kitchen his Mom is slowly turning towards him and he stops in his as the tears start to form in his eyes. Tears drops onto the ground and thinks to himself "Why did this have happened to me Why!".. he slams his hand against the ground, Alex then looks up and stands up and walks up to the glass and holds his hand and his forehead up to the glass and tells his Mother that he "i love her", she then runs up to the glass slamming her head against the glass.

He jumps back with shock on his face to see that his Mother would hurt herself like that. He then wipes the tears from his face and eyes as his mom keeps running into the glass door. He looks at her one last time and sees her as she was to him and not as she is now. He is now walking out of the building and he notice that all of the bodies that were on the floor. When he came in is now gone only blood stains are left as he is walking slowly towards the road.

He looks around to see if he can see any of the bodies that were laying on the ground, but there's nothing around him "thinking to himself where is all these people could it be that they all turn into those monsters that is now my mother''. He is walking and then stops in his tracks forgetting that his neighbour just a moment ago wanted to attack him. He looks around to see if he can see her but there is no sign of her. He breathes a air of relief.. He walks straight onto the road he turns left to go home so he walks keep walking until he gets to the part of the vineyard row where his neighbour try to attack him. He slowly walks up to the front row to see if she is still there looking for him, but as he is getting closer to the distractive hole she left behind her in pursuit of him.

He doesn't hear her. It looks like she is gone too. Alex looks at the distractive mess she left behind. He then turns around and walks out of the vineyard rows. He stops still to look around to see if there is anybody, but there is nobody around. So he steps out of the vineyard and keeps going left back to his house. He walks past a big tree then, Alex sees all the other workers and neighbours are in a circle. He then stops in his tracks.

They are all standing motionless in a circle. Some of there backs are turned to him and some are looking at him, but it does not seem that they are seeing him so he slowly turns to his left and starts to walk slowly. He does not want to make a loud noise as he is walking. He gets a glimpse of somebody that he is looking for, "it's his Father he yells Father!.. Father!.. it's me Father" those who were looking away turn around and those who were looking at him eyes slowly fixed on him. They all start to run towards him. He turns around quickly and starts to run on the road he is now.

He keeps running until he gets to a crossroads where he has to choose between three roads, the one he is on now or the other two which goes left and right all of which is dirt road. He has to make a split second decision to either go left or right or just straight he makes a decision to go right now. He turns and runs onto the right dirt road he keeps running and looks back to see if they are still following him. They are still following as he is running. Alex turns left into one of the vineyard rows and starts to run as his neighbours and the farmworkers fall over each other.

They all stand up one by one and start to run after him. He looks behind him and sees that some of them are running towards him in the same row he is in now. Alex starts to run more inside the row he is in now. Alex then stops and turns around and looks straight at the horde that is stampeding towards him. As they are closing in on him legs starts shaking he then lifts up his hand and makes it into a fist and then hits his legs and say to himself that ''this is no time for fear i have to survive and find out what happened here''.

They are getting closer to him one of the horde almost touches him. He ducks down on to the ground and rolls to his right side underneath the vineyard rows three times and then stops, standing up dusting himself off from all the sand and dust that was on the ground he stands up all covered in cuts. Alex ducks down so they can not see him he starts to crouch on the ground and starts to walk to the end of the vineyard row. He is now sneaking towards the end as he is getting to the end.

Alex slows down a little bit checking if there is anybody he sticks his head out and looks around, but there is nobody so he gets out of the row and turns right and starts running towards his house. Alex gets to the house, takes out the key which is in his pocket and puts it in the keyhole and turns the keys and opens up the door takes the key and then close the door behind. Leaning towards the door now looking around him to see if he can find something to use for protection against them, Alex then sees a broom with a plastic handle he walks to the broom and look at it and sees he can unscrew the broom handle.

He starts to unscrew the handle, he places the broom on the ground and opens up a drawer. He takes out a knife and starts to cut a quarter of the broom off and sees that he can make a weapon out of it. He then opens up another drawer and searches around a bit and then he gets his hands on what he was looking for.

He then takes out the tape and puts all three of them together and starts to get to work he first measure the broom handle hole against the knife handel he sees it will fit and then starts to look around in the top to see if there is any glue he sees the glue takes it but there is only a little bit left he looks at it and thinks Father. His Father use the glue last night for the front of is shoes, Alex is thinking back to last night.

His Father puts a little bit of volume on the TV, Alex walks up to the cupboard and opens up the first one where the medicine is he looks in and sees there you are. He then lifts up his hand and then puts his hand in the cupboard and takes out the glue. He then closes the cupboard door and then He walks over to his father and gives him the glue. His father takes the glue and puts it beside him, Alex then walks over to the couch that he was sitting on and leens on it and looks at the news.
