A few minutes later they had all the people in a line to be put into the trucks. Once he stopped spitting out what was going to happen to them, and what the quarantined area was about, the back of one of the trucks opened. Eight men came out fully kitted out in black tactical gear. All of the men women and children stood frozen not knowing was happening. The megaphone cracked and the man yelled “Ok everyone calm down!” There was a long pause that seemed to last hours and he yelled out "As a direct order from the Department of Homeland Security, you all are deemed infected." One man in the crowd yelled, "what hell does that mean?" The man put the megaphone in the Humvee and pulled out a water bottle. He took a long drink of water, coughed,and yelled, "well it means, huh, FIRE!" The men opened up on all the men women and children with lead ripping through them like butter. The scene before my eyes was horrific. The bodies were in piles. I heard one of the men yell towards the man that made the call. "Colonel Anderson should be burn the bodies?" The Colonel walked over to the bodies and took his boot and poked it at a boy on the ground. The next thing I knew there was a loud shot and the colonel dropped in a pool of blood. There was a loud yell "God Bless America!" The man on the humvee gun swung the turret around and opened fire on the second story of the house the shot came from. It was Derrel's place he lived a few houses down from me. He was the only sensible guy, on the whole block that I could talk to. After all of the gun control, and confiscation talk around the country I started going to the range to work on my shooting skills. I met Derrel there and I knew he only lived a few houses down. He had the same mindset as I did so we became good friends. I just hoped he was okay.
After they used up what ammo they had on the house the men got in there trucks and left with a honk of the horn. The girl from earlier that morning ran out to the pile of bodies, grabbed a small child and took a bite out of the neck of the lifeless child. I threw up a little in my mouth and fell to the ground listening to what I figured to be more of those things running out to the mass of bodies like it was a free buffet. I layed on the floor staying silent thinking about all I had seen since I had awakened an hour ago. I closed my eyes for a few minutes and just listened.
