post zombie apocalypse has begun.

After hearing what the woman who answered the door told him and seeing her husband standing close behind her, Zumwraek was surprised that neither of his relatives seemed scared to see him. Instead, they both looked annoyed and irritated about him showing up uninvited and without knocking. Which made absolutely no sense to him whatsoever. Sure, he might look different now but that didn't mean he looked bad. He was wearing clothes which weren't covered in blood anymore, he was clean and he had shaved, even though that hadn't worked out very well. Still it seemed like everyone else in town didn't care about that anymore as they just ignored him completely. Maybe it was easier that way, he didn't know if he would be willing to explain to them exactly what was going on in there, he just wished he could go inside and see for himself. That was something he really wanted to do. But he couldn't risk doing that while his brothers were in there somewhere, trapped or unconscious. He might not know for sure that it was his brothers in there but he knew that at least his brothers were still alive so he would wait outside and watch.

"Can I ask you something?" The woman suddenly interrupted the silence surrounding them.

Zumwraek frowned and tilted his head sideways slightly. "Of course, you can ask me anything you want," he replied. "You know that by now."

Her lips curved upwards in a small smile as she lowered the child in her arms to the floor. "Thank you, dear. My name is Susan and this is my husband, Jonathan. What is your name?"

"Oh, umm…yeah. Hi," Zumwraek stammered awkwardly, unsure of whether or not he should offer her his hand first. He settled for just shaking his head slowly from side to side, not being able to think straight. For some reason his hands weren't obeying him right now, he kept feeling like there was something important he had to say, but no matter what he tried his mouth wouldn't form the words to say it. "Um…well…my real name is Zummie…but…uhm…I prefer Zumo," he finally managed to blurt out in a nervous voice.

A confused expression appeared on Susan's face, but her husband merely raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"You don't want to tell us your actual name do you?" Susan inquired.

Zumwraek'.

it was at this time that the undead zombies began to appear eating people alive, and before he could blink twice Susan was screaming as her eyes widened in horror as several zombies tore through her body before grabbing onto her children. He wanted to help her, to help both of the children, but he froze in terror. He couldn't move. His body didn't seem to belong to him anymore.

It wasn't long before the man came running out of the convenience store after hearing Susan screaming, and after a brief discussion between the man and Susan the man rushed towards the zombies, the zombies grab your arm is starts to eat your flesh, the man try to got out but the zombies had too much strength and pulled him down to the ground. As the man screamed and struggled desperately against the zombies, the two start eating alive the man is more zombies began to appear and attack people to eat them alive everything turned into complete chaos. Zumwraek felt like he was frozen to the spot as he watched everything happening in front of him. His vision started becoming blurry and he thought that maybe this was it. His death. At that thought he started panicking and struggling even harder against his own mind. But that just made everything even worse.

Suddenly Zumwraek heard his mother scream in terror and felt something slam into his chest. It hit him hard enough to send him flying backwards and land on his ass. He immediately got up and tried to run forward, but then a sharp pain shot through his stomach, making him stop dead in his tracks. When he looked up he saw his father standing above him, the same grin painted on his face as always. This must be a dream, Zumwraek thought to himself, this must be a nightmare…right?

But as he started walking towards his father who was smiling maliciously at him he realised that this wasn't a dream at all. Not only was his mother screaming because Zumwraek's father had attacked her; she was also screaming because she was terrified, she was worried that Zumwraek would get hurt and it was obvious that he was trying to fight back, he was trying his absolute hardest to defend himself. His siblings were screaming as well, they were also afraid
