Here We Remain The world we knew had started to fade. An outbreak had brought humanity on its knees. Timmy had lost his entire family. He lived just outside of Helena, Montana. He had hardly any supplies Timmy was starving. If he didn’t eat soon, he would perish. He needed to find food, and a home of some sort. That’s when he was found by officer Tony.

They had a dinner all barricaded up. “So, you a runaway or something?” the officer asked.

“ No, I lost my family a long time ago to those monsters,” he replied. Then a banging followed by growling. Timmy tensed up. “ Don’t worry the dead can’t get in. And we got Randall on the roof. He has good aim.” From up on the roof they heard “BALM, BALM.” then a tall skinny man came from the kitchen. “ Tony we got a... wait who’s this?” asked Randall.

“ Randall, this is Timmy.” answered Tony.

“ Sup kid,” Randall replied.

Jimmy remained silent.

“ Tony, we got a large pack coming. Not so many but we don’t have enough ammo to take care of it. We also have good news.”

“What?”

“ Army chopper. Looks like they got room. I think we could draw them towards us, but not without drawing attention.”

“ Maybe we could use a radio to get them?”asked Tony.

“ No batteries,” Randall replied grimly.

A few hour later, Randall brought out some food. It was so quiet they could hear the dismal moans of the zombies. Tony finally broke the silence. “ So, how exactly did you lose your family?”

“I’m not sure if my dad is dead but I saw my mom get, you know,” Suddenly the sound of gunfire and a helicopter muffed out the sound of their conversation. They then heard a thump on the roof. Collecting their things, the group ran up to the roof. The same chopper Randle saw had come to their rescue. Salvation had come. But, would they be safe?
