Prolog
At first The Zombie Era was top secret. The News reported strange murders in which people where brutally cannibalized, so bad that they were almost impossible to identify. The government covered up the attacks as horrible murders. The government told far from the truth. The Government was trying to make a new super virus to destroy the enemy with, but the inevitable happened. The virus got out of control and started infecting the workers of the new weapon. Soon after they were infected they turned into the lifeless zombies. The virus was out of control and leaked out of the weapon lab into the small rural areas infecting the people secretly. The Government knew all along what the virus was capable of, but not to this extent. The weapon was so top secret that not even the New York Governor knew about it. Only the Presidents most trusted officials knew about it.
So the Government covered it up and the media told the lie. The government was forced to evacuate the surrounding villages of ground zero. The government went on TV and said that so called “Cannibals” were taking to many lives and people needed to be evacuated. The zombies continued to spread and the situation worsened. The government was forced to tell the horrible truth. They were too late. The virus had already spread into the suburbs of some of New York’s smaller cities. The Government told the more important people in the world, including the world leaders, Secretary Of State, the CIA, the NSA, and the governors of New York, Road Island, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maryland, and Maine. Then the Governors of these stated would inform the rest of the Governors of the country. Then the Governors told the most trusted people in there capital about it, then the President Of The United States would go live and warn everybody about the Danger. Then the Great Panic began.
Day One
Albany, NY
12/21/2012
It was early in the morning. At about 4:00 Am the alarm clock radio started buzzing for Andrew Benot to wake up. Andrew worked at the capital building and today all of the important people in the capital were having a meeting with the governor about something top secret. Andrew was one of them. Andrew slouched up in his bed. He had left the TV on by accident. It was on C-SPAN and it was playing a speech from Ronald Regan when he was president. Andrew slumped out of bed and quickly got changed into his nice uniform; after all he was meeting the governor face-to-face. Andrew walked over to the TV and turned it off. The bill is high enough, he thought. Andrew turned on the lights and sat on his bed. He continued to ponder about what the meeting was about. It must be real urgent because Andrew was told about it last night at 11:00Pm. Andrew kept pondering until he realized that it was 5:00Am. The meeting started at 6:30AM. Andrew got up and walked into the bathroom. Combed his hair, then went into the kitchen to grab his keys and his wallet and left for the capital building. This year was the warmest winter in New York in 100 years. There were still severe thunderstorms now and then. It hadn’t snowed all year. There wasn’t even a November frost like there usually is in New York. This was very odd indeed. It usually snows in New York, doesn’t it?Andrew walked out into his driveway. Just near his house was Albany High School. The sound of the starting busses echoed down the empty, lonely street. Too bad, that every one of the kids, who attended the High School, were doomed.Andrew unlocked his car and opened his old rusty pick up. Not the best for picking up the ladies but it got him to and fro. Andrew was never a car guy. He couldn’t tell a Minivan from a Corvette. The only car he could identify was a pick up truck. The cars old engines started with a fuss. Andrew thought, man she was doomed from the start. Nevertheless the car started and Andrew drove the old beat up truck to the capital building were the most important meeting of his life was about to be held. Andrew drove down the empty streets. Occasionally a few cars would meet him but other than that the road was deprived of any live. Some of the people in the cars would wave, but most people were too stuck up to make someone happy for just a second.Once at the capital building things went from normal to the strange. Andrew got out of his car. It was 6:00am. Around now the busses should be picking up the kids for there final day before Christmas break, but they weren’t. People should be getting to work by now, but they weren’t.Andrew passed the statue that sits in front of the steps that lead up to the capital building. Still there was no sound other than the sound of Andrews feet hitting the capital building’s steps.Andrew got to the top of the steps and opened the double doors. Oddly it was completely quiet and dark. Andrew slowly walked up the steps to the floor were his meeting would take place. At the end of the long hall way on the floor, where two large doors opened wide, and light was shining out from the room. Andrew slowly walked into the room to find The Governor sitting at the far end of a long table. Andrews set was reserved right next to the Governor.“Hello Andrew” the Governor said cheerfully, although there was nothing to be cheerful about.Andrew took his set next to the Governor. Except for the Governor, every other person in the room was unfamiliar to Andrew. Then the last person entered the room and shut the double doors for obvious security reasons. The man sat down as quickly and respectively as possible. Then the Governor took a big sigh than began.“Hello every body.” Everybody said high. “To get to the bottom line” he said. “It has come to my attention that the Federal government has been developing a bio-hazardous weapon. His weapon was so top secret I had no idea about it. It was started right after the Iraq war. This weapon is a virus that is only transmittable by fluid contact. The virus will kill you within a few hours and than your dead body will reanimate. You will become what “Hollywood” calls a zombie.”The Governor paused to clear his through then continued “last month the virus somehow escaped captivity and infected every single worker. When the news said that there were cannibals, which was a government cover up for what rely happened.
The zombies have escaped from the lab and are starting to infect some of New York’s cities. I was just alerted last night about this threat.” The Governor paused. “The President will make a live appearance in two hours to warn about the threat. His speech will be repeated on every channel all day and all night. Now that the zombies are more populated it’s only a matter of hours before most of the country has infected.” Then he said “Any questions” nobody had any questions. Then the said “Sense there are no questions, you may be dismissed. Take care and my God be with you.”
All the men except Andrew and the Governor stood up and left the large room. Most of the people just wanted to be with there families.
“Andrew may I speak to you?” the Governor said to Andrew.
“I want you to go with me to D.C to get the president out of D.C after the speech. We will go to someplace safe. You are one of the smartest brains that we have here at the time and we need your help.” The Governor asked Andrew. Andrew looked at the door for a brief few seconds then looked at the Governor and said “I would be honored.” Andrew said in reply.
“Well we need to hurry. His speech is soon and we need to get to D.C.”
Andrew and the Governor stood up and started to walk out of the long room. The meeting took longer than any of them thought. It was 7:00Am. Both of the men quickly walked down the hallway and the set of steps. Then they quickly raced down the steps into the front wear Andrews car was parked.
They did not ride in Andrews’s car. Just as they exited the building an armored limo pulled up and the men rush into the long, black, armored car.
The car ran smoothly and was fast for a limo. Both Andrew and Governor Shayne were both sweating. “Please tell me why we are in a rush?” Andrew asked. The Governor had no reply. The sun was starting to come up. Andrew could see in the distance a large object on a runway. Andrew squinted to see that it was Air Force One, the Presidents plane. Andrews’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the plane. As a child, Andrew had always wanted to fly in the Presidents air plane.
The limo pulled onto the runway. The runway was flat and blank except for the massive plane that stood on it.
The limo parked next to the set of legendary steps that lead into that legendary air plane.
The Governor opened the limo door for Andrew and let him out. Once out Andrews jaw dropped from the beauty of the plane.
Andrew took in the moment as he walked up those legendary steps. Andrew was speechless. He was nervous from the news of the outbreak, very nervous.
The flight was very fast. For Andrew the trip was horrible. Andrew was in the Bathroom vomiting while Governor Shayne was sitting on a couch designed for luxury.
Andrew had never vomited from nervousness. It was very strange for him. What caused it, the zombie outbreak? Or was it the excitement of flying in Air Force One? Either way it was not a very pleasant experience.
The plane landed on a blank runway some place near D.C. Everybody got off, got in the limo and proceeded into D.C. It was weird because there was still no one going to work or school. The Limo had all the room to use its max speed.
The Limo arrived at the front gates of the White House. Finally sign of life, there was a Guard by the gate that opened the door for the limo.
The limo drove in and parked next to the front of the White House. Its size compared to the capital building seemed incomparable to Andrew. This time the limo driver opened the door for the men and Andrew got out first.
Andrew and the governor walked up the steps up to the entrance doors. Finally some service, Andrew thought as a guard opened the doors and lead the men into the oval office were the President of The United States of America sat at his desk. The President looked up at Andrew and the Governor and smiled. “Come here Shayne.” The president said. “I have been waiting for you, and I see you brought who I was asking for.” The President said. Then he said “Andrew, come here.” Andrew obeyed and said “Mr. President Sir, it is an honor to be here. Of what to you need assistance in?”
“I need you to get me out of here safely to the NY capital building after my speech. Once there my men will escort me into a large room full of enough food and water to last as long as one year and enough defense to withstand the worst attack and was is built with almost indestructible materials.”
A guard walked in on the conversation and said “Sorry to intruded sir, but your announcement will be recorded in one minute.”
After he said that a few men walked in carrying high tech video cameras. The guard escorted Andrew and the Governor out of the Oval Office.
“We’re live in 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.” “Hello, Fellow Americans. There is something that needs to be said.” He paused “Recently we have been developing a top secret bio-hazardous weapon. The weapon is a virus that reanimates you within a few hours to one day, depending on the severity of your bites. Somehow the virus was released and has been spread. The virus should be, at the of the day, on the other side of the world.” He paused. “In simpler terms the virus turns you into a zombie. The only way it can be spread is by fluid contact.”
“The only way to kill a zombie is by destroying the brain. I’m sure you’ve seen a zombie movie so you should be able to identify a zombie if you see one. If you can, try to escape to a remote location. If you can’t, lock all your doors and windows, bar them up, block the doors, do anything to reinforce the exits so no zombies can get in.” “I leave you with great grief and sorrow. God bless, and God speed. This message will be repeated all day. Good night America.”
The President knelt his head then stood up. “I’m ready Governor, let’s go.”
The guard escorted the three men Andrew, Governor Shayne, and the President out of the white house to the waiting limo.

Hate to be a jackass, but, I have to say, the writing isn't quite "novel" level. The editors would have puppies if they saw it. Otherwise, however, it's sounding good. Keep up the writing, but be ruthless with yourself during edditing. And where's the Prologue? I'm also concidering getting my story (I Read) published, when it's finished. Again, though, good start!
