It all started with a phone call.
“Tom!!! Tom!! You have to believe me!! Zombies are attacking my neighborhood!!!” My friend DJ yelled into the phone, completely losing his calm and cool tone.
He is crazy, no way.
“Dude, don’t worry.” I said. “Its probably a bunch of teenagers in costumes.”
I plopped on my couch and flipped on comedy central.
“NO!!! I’M SERIOUS !!!”
“Dude, it’s okay. I’ll see you tomorrow at school. Bye.”
I shut off my phone, and laughed under my breath.
What kind of sick joke is th-
My thoughts were interrupted as my program was automatically flicked to news.
Here is a view from sky cam, Matt. I heard the news lady’s voice ring out from the television.
I got a bird’s eye view of thousands of fleshy figures, attacking people, consuming homes.
What the hell?

Yes, folks! We have a zombie situation on our hands! Please stay inside your homes and protect yourself!
My TV went off as the power flickered.
I gotta get out of here.

    Good job, but the dialogue seems a little forced, even. I’m not sure. I do like it, it just seems with a few tweaks, it could be even better.
