I was a just a secretary for a Chevy dealership that was located right outside of town. You know one of those women who answered the phone, looked pretty as customers came in and did her finger nails while waiting for the phone to ring…

I was always the first one to get to work and I always got there at 6 am like clock work. The day that everyone became Zombies was no different and there I was at 6 am and unlocking the door. I noticed that the janitors car was still there and that meant one of two things, his car broke down as it did all the time! (It was a Chevy you know!) or he had issues and had lots do. All I know is that the owner (Sam) would not want to pay overtime and he would be mad if it was the latter…

The Janitor’s name is Ralph and I called his name out as I entered the building. No one answered so I figured all was good. It was only his car broke down. I went to the front desk, my desk and checked to see if there was any messages that had to be dealt with immediately. Nothing stood out and then I went to make coffee…

I brewed a big 100 cup pot of coffee and realized that we did not have enough Styrofoam cups to get through the day. The guys who worked in the garage loved coffee and of course salesmen suck coffee down like it was a bottle of beer to stay awake from drinking too much the night before…

I walked to the janitor closet, that was were we kept the extra cups for me to keep them filled. I opened the door and that is when I found the janitor. He was a stumbling, moaning, blood covered Zombie, with a screw driver sticking out of his head…

I moved like I have never moved before and was standing back by the huge coffee pot when I stopped running and screaming. Then I froze, all I could see in my frozen state was a dead man with a screwdriver sticking out of his head between his eyes and he was wanting to kill me. You could see it in his eyes, he just slobbered all over the place and just shuffled straight toward me. It was a moan, then a step, a moan, then a step and so on and so on…

I woke up from that vision of a Zombie and the fact that he wanted my brains. You know all Zombies want brains? Don’t they? I realized that I had put myself into the corner and he was blocking my escape from him. I also smelled fresh coffee…

I quickly pored a cup for myself and them grabbed the huge coffee pot and with a effort that I did not know that I had in me threw a 100 cups of coffee (minus one), into his face as he shuffled slowly toward me…

Well the moan became a screaming sounding moan and I figured that somewhere in that Zombie brain that he just realized that he was boiled. I thought about the lawsuit with McDonald’s over spilled coffee that the woman won and I yelled at him that he was not going to win a lawsuit and go to hell…

I ran past him, taking care not to fall on the coffee covered floor and realized that I had blinded him permanently by the super steaming coffee. I ran to the garage entrance door and just as I neared that door, the night mechanic slammed up against the glass of the door and he looked much worse than the janitor. He had huge bite marks taken out of his neck and one leg was arm was missing. The door was locked as I could see the dead bolt pushed too and I backed away from the door…

I turned back to the janitor and realized that he was trying to find me still. He was terrible looking, the skin was eaten off his face by the scalding water and what blood he had left was seeping out his face and neck…

I remembered that the boss has a real Katana sword in his office and it was his pride and joy. I ran to the office and since I have keys to everything, I opened his door and grabbed the sword. I just hoped that he would not be mad at me…

I went back out and found the janitor and yelled, “Hey You!” He turned to my voice and I swung as hard as I could at his neck. The sword is so sharp that I did not need to swing as hard as I could and I found myself spinning around and I hit the floor. As I looked up I saw a headless Zombie body and then I realized that the head was spinning in circles near by hand. The body finally fell over and the head stopped spinning. Except the eyes kept looking for me and the mouth was constantly gnashing and biting…

I stood up and stuck the sword through one of his blinded eyes and picked up the head and smashed it on the ground as I cut the head open. Then I turned to the night mechanic…

I saw him still pushing against the glass door and I decided to check out the back way into the garage. I quietly went around behind the Zombie in the garage and after I was sure that he was the only one in the garage. I tossed a tool at him and he spun around, moaning to beat the band…

He saw me and came right for me in a Zombie shuffle. As soon as he was in range I brought the sword straight down on top his head and sliced the head open like a ripe melon. That stopped him…

I unlocked the door to the front and went in and sat at my desk and waited. I was going to wait for the boss and see what he wanted to do…

After a few hours and no one showing up and no one calling. I started to call people and no one answered anywhere. Then I saw someone walking outside and I ran to the door. I saw that it was sweet little Miss Engstrum from across the street. She was always bringing treats for us to eat. I opened the door and hollered at her. I was greeted with a moan and a look of, I want your brains…

I slammed the door shut and locked it and she shuffled up and stared int the door through the glass. Then little Jimmy the kid next door was standing looking in one of the showroom windows and he had a puppy dog hanging out of his mouth as he ate it. Then I saw Mr. Bennett and he was chewing on a leg of someone as he banged on the front window glass. The building was all glass and that is when I realized that maybe I should try to get out of there…

I took the sword and went to the very back door and found no one around. I quietly slipped out the back and walked around the twenty or so Zombies that had gathered to see what was for breakfast in the dealership…

That is when I took up residence in this building that was the library in the town square, because it was built a hundred years ago, when they really built buildings. I snuck around and gathered food and killed a few Zombies here and there. I watched the Zombies get all weird as it rained and was able to gather food during rain storms as the Zombies are just stupid as hell then…

Then you came along and saved my ass as they were finally trying to kill me and eat a fresh meal. I messed up and was caught day dreaming about the good ole days…

That is it and all I wanna say, right now…
