Zane awoke still on the opposite side of the bed from Addelyn. He looked at his clock, which read<span style="color: #00BF40">8:02</span>. He then pulled himself out of bed, careful not to wake Addelyn. He pulled on some pajama bottoms, opting to stay shirtless. He went downstairs and turned on the television, listening to eat as he cooked eggs, sausage, bacon and french toast. He put it all out on the table, optimistic that he and his wife would actually eat together. As he finished placing the plates down, Addelyn came down the stairs wearing only panties and a tee-shirt. Smelling the food, she entered the kitchen. She yawned then sat down, serving herself some of everything. Zane sat silently as well, getting his portions and eating while listening to the news. "More and more reports are coming in about face-eating and attacks on people. People are calling authorities, reports bands of roaming gangs attacking people. There is starting to be panic in the streets, with looting and people rushing to stores, buying and stealing food and whatever else they'd like. We'll be bringing you hourly updates as the situation changes." The tv switched to some random weather report, and Zane stopped paying attention. "This is getting intense, isn't it?" Addelyn asked. "Indeed. I think we might wanna buy some supplies just in case. I'll go to the store. I'll see you later." Zane got up, put away his dishes and went upstairs to get dressed, then left.<br/><br/>Zane pulled into a nearby Walmart. There was absolute pandemonium as people panicked and ran into the store. Zane walked quickly inside, keeping his head down. Every cart was missing, so he opted to grab a basket, but noticed an untended cart just inside the doors. He made his way to un-perishables and stocked up on food such as Ramen and canned foods. He swerved around rushing people as they ran into each other and different stands.<span style="font-style: italic">These people are so stupid, if they would just calm down, they could get a lot more done.</span>he mused. He headed toward the hunting/sports section, but decided to head home after seeing the raging mass of people crowded around it. he got in line and payed for his food, even though many people were running out the doors. The alarm was blaring constantly, but no one did a thing. Zane dodged other carts and made it to his car safely.<br/><br/>Zane drove home, crossing the Arlington Memorial Bridge.<span style="font-style: italic">That news caster wasn't lying about the bands of people. They're everywhere!</span>he thought as he swerved to avoid a small groups. He noticed their eyes as he passed, which stared vacantly at him. They stretched their arms out, scratching his hood and moaning.<span style="font-style: italic">What the hell...</span>He arrived back home and noticed that Addalyn's car was missing.<span style="font-style: italic">Where the fuck did she go??</span>He unloaded the car and put all of the extra food away, cramming his pantry past full. He then washed his clothes and finished his packing, deciding to bring some extra, nice clothes along, just in case they were needed. He went back downstairs and turned on the tv, waiting for Addelyn to get back from where ever she was.
