The Apocalypse: Chapter 1 "The Normal Life"

Hi! My name is Joshua, and I am Senior Highschool Student. I live in Bohol, Philippines, but I spent my childhood in Cebu City. I am a simple guy who minds my own business and someone who loves music. I had a normal life, but everything changed after a life-changing event that happened ten years ago.

Ten years ago

Hi it's me Joshua and today is Saturday. I woke up early and prepared myself as I'm going out to the mall with my friends Joseph and Jamester. I kinda took a long time to prepare because honestly I'm not really a morning person when it's a Saturday or Sunday. They told me that we would meet up at a restaurant in the mall at 10am sharp. I had no choice because it was two against one. Well so as I finished preparing I rushed to the mall quickly as it was actually already 9:20am. As I ran outside to the highway, I was lucky enough to get a cab to take me to the mall.

Joseph and Jamester were my childhood friends. We three have been through challenges together. Together we moved here in Bohol to continue our studies here as we received scholarships. We were brothers from another mothers.

I arrived at exactly 10:00am. I ran towards the restaurant and saw them laughing at me.

"Late as always aye." Joseph said sarcastically.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late." I told them.

So we went to eat lunch at a restaurant called "Chimon". We enjoyed their Japanese food. The three of us really love Japanese foods but the one who really love it the most is Jamester as he always orders food from this restaurant. After we finished our meal we walked around the mall to find interesting stuff's to buy.

"Hey bros I have to go to the restroom, wait for me here outside." Joseph said

"Ok" I replied

Me and Jamester chatted for a while. I asked him where he was going for college.

"I'm probably going to the Manila to pursue acting." Sortones told me.

"Go bro and accomplish your goals." I replied with a smile.

I would honestly miss him as we were together since our childhood days. The three of us me, Joseph and Jamester.

We chatted for about fifteen minutes, and we started wondering why Joseph was taking too long. Then suddenly we saw a guy running fast from the restroom like he saw something so scary. So we rushed to check on Joseph if he was alright.

"Help!" Someone yelled inside the male restroom.

As me and Sortones walked inside the restroom we started shaking as we were spooked by what we saw.

"Help!!!" Joseph yelled.

We could not believe what we were seeing. We were looking at. We couldn't move as we were full of fear. It looked like a human, actually it was a human. It was putting Joseph down to the floor. We realized right away what we were seeing. We were actually looking at a live zombie.

We were frozen, as we couldn't believe that those things were actually real.

" Are you guys just gonna let this monster eat me or you're going to help me?!" Joseph yelled.

So as it was busy on trying to bite Joseph, Jamester took my water bottle, and he pushed it to the zombie's mouth then we immediately pushed him away and ran outside the restroom and locked the door.

After what happened, the three of us looked at each other because we knew we were in big trouble and our world was about to change.
