“Aric wake up!” Adrin yelled as he slapped me. I looked at my roommate and long time friend. Adrin would never hit someone especially me something terrible must be wrong. “They have breached the fort Jess and Michael are down but not bitten or scratched.” Adrin reported in a panic. “How many are attacking the fort.” I asked quickly. “At least fifty sir we are out manned twenty five percent.” he replied. I grabbed my shotgun right as the horde of zombies broke the door down. I thrown a shotgun and sword to Adrin and shot all twenty bullets out of my modified shotgun. Pulled out my hooked blade and hacked off the heads of the last two. “Adrin reloaded and come we have to help the group!” I said sharper then I wanted too. Mark, Shell, and Beth were fighting to protect Jess and Michael. Adrin and I provided cover so they could retreat. We got the rest into the Mess Hall and finally destroyed the zombie horde. Nuke reported that we had a new comer so I wanted to talk to him. “Sir I saw Fort Sumter so thought it may be safe I don’t mean to be a problem.” The new comer said. “Welcome to Fort Zomter kid we are always looking for new comers.” I said. “Thank you for letting me stays sir my name is Duke.” he said. “Well Duke lets feed you and get you settled in.” I said.
