Click. “My name is Colby Lillith Ojeda… I am nineteen years old, sophomore at the Art Academy just down the street from here. I live on the fourteenth floor of the Serenity Suites. You may be wondering why I am recording this on an old Barbie tape recorder that I got for my third birthday, but I had no other choice. If I am going to die, I want people to know who I am and what I died doing. A virus has spread across the world, causing everyday people to become rabid, angry-for-flesh zombies. I have been trapped inside my room for days now, unable to escape. However, I have a plan. There is a safe area on the other side of the county. It is far, and dangerous, but I think I can make it. To accomplish this task, I will dress up like one of the many infected here, one known as a “hunter”. Hopefully if the zombies see a hunter roaming around, they won’t think to mess with me and maybe, just maybe, I’ll get to the safe area alive. If not, well, hopefully a survivor will find this tape recording and pronounce me brave or something. Well… I got to go. I can’t waste too much time because I am not much sure on how long I can hold up in here before zombies find me. Colby out.” Click.
Colby stepped back from the tape record and removed the small pink and white tape out of the machine. Then she placed it on her dresser and grabbed a sticky note, quickly etching the words “LISTEN TO THIS” on it with a pen. She smiled happily, proud of her work, but was interrupted by a loud banging noise on her door. Gasping, she quickly ran into her room, dressing in her hunter costume she had been working on. It was perfect. She posed in her broken mirror for a while, making sure it looked exactly like a hunters costume before using face blood to start off. She spread it all over her mouth, hands and jacket to make it look realistic. She knew she was probably going to be covered in blood anyways by the time she spent longer than an hour outside. Set to go, Colby opened up her window of her apartment and quickly began to run down the emergency fire-escape staircase. It took a while but by the time she was down the stairs, Colby was already exhausted and on the ground. Zombies didn’t seem to take any notice of her at the very moment so this was a good sign. Colby sat down, looking around for a second to where she needed to go and then quickly started running in the direction, getting down on the ground and crawling like a hunter sometimes to fool the infected. She even was practicing her hunter growls.
