The Walking Dead: Connor's Story

This is an original story set in the World of AMC's "The Walking Dead"

We like to think that our world doesn't hold any mysteries, that we have a good read on things. My plans to return to school in the Fall were cut short when my Father lost his job. Unable to pay my tuition I was forced to take the Semester off.

I was furious back then, lashing out at everyone. My Father became a favorite target of my youthful arrogant scorn. In hindsight I see that it wasn't even his fault.

I reluctantly got a job at CostMart, you know the place. The big box store off the Highway with the annoying radio Jingle. Well anyway I had taken the late shift and we had just closed up when we heard a furious pounding on the doors.

"We're closed Jack Hole!" I shouted tapping my naked wrist to signify a watch.

As I turned to go deeper into the store the knocking was louder. Where there was one person just a moment ago I suddenly found myself starting at a crowd.

"Connor you gotta see this!" Audrey, one of my Coworkers said from the break room.

I walked into the break room and found a sea of blank pale faces.

"What's going on guys?" I asked

No one said anything, Audrey just pointed silently at the tv.

Scrolling across the bottom of the screen in bold letters was one simple, unfathomable statement... "The Dead Walk!"

I tried to wrap my head around this ridiculous statement, they can't mean literally can they?

As I reached for a chair that wasn't there I heard a loud crash from the front of the store. Running out I saw the crowd had used rocks to break the glass. As the looting began all I could think was getting home to my family.

I jumped in my car and made it home in minutes. As I neared the door I could see it was slightly open. The house was in shambles, clothes and trash was strewn all across the floor.

I spied a note tacked to the fridge "Connor went to Aunt June's House, be safe. Mom".

I couldn't believe that they wouldn't wait for me, how selfish and inconsiderate.

I dashed up to my room and packed a bag full of clothes. I was about out of the door when a twinge in the back of my skull told me to grab a wooden box that was hidden under some old clothes.

I opened it and found my Grandfathers Military Police Service Pistol. I slid the Magazine inside and turned on the Safety.

Slipping it into the small of my back I sat in my car and turned the ignition, It roared to life and I found myself staring at a sea of blank pale faces.

"oh shit!" I shouted seeing the Walker Horde within spitting Distance.

When there's no room left in hell, the dead will hire some carpenters to build an expansion (perhaps with an indoor water park)
