Short Story: Vocab Style

My short story is going to include Zombies, a Hospital and a divorced couple.

Anthony Hanes ex wife Jennifer suffered from constant chronic fever attacks which resulted in her hospitalization. Though he and Jennifer had been divorced for over three years, Anthony still had a deep sentimental feelings that arose within him every time he took the kids to go visit her. He longed to make things right and to continue to be with her, but she had remarried and he was a man of morality. As much as he wanted her, he would forever keep his feelings to himself.

On the 23rd of December, 2012, Anthony headed to the hospital with his daughter Amanda and his twin sons Jacob and Jason, who suffered from severe panic attacks due to a birth defect during his delivery. Jennifer had collapsed at work again from another one of her fever episodes, and even though he knew he could have done nothing to help her, he felt a tugging remorse throughout his body as though it was his fault. Upon arrival to the hospital Anthony and the kids got stuck in traffic. People were shouting and honking, screaming about how they all had places to go. Anthony caught sight of an acquaintance of his and called out to him. He explained that the traffic had suddenly come to a abrupt halt and the cops told everyone to stay inside their cars with the doors locked and to keep noise to a minimum if they see anything suspicious. Anthony felt a queasy feeling of discomfort form in the pit of his stomach as he quickly rolled up the windows and leaned back into his seat nervously.

"What happened?", his daughter asked warily. Before Anthony could answer the twins began to laugh hysterically.

"Something funny?", Anthony asked, clearly irritated. Before the twins had time to answer they were interrupted by a loud piercing scream from a few cars ahead. The twins began to move around uncomfortably and try to leave but Anthony wouldn't allow it. He knew they were bothered by the scream  because it had bothered him very much as well. To lighten the mood Anthony turned the radio on hoping it would somehow soothe the terrifying noise they had heard earlier.

"Bzzpt. . . The Apacol . . .Bzzzzpt. . . has begun. . . Bzzpt . . .unexplained. . .Bzzpt. . . phenomenon occurring . . . Bzzpt. . . world wide."  The silence in the car was intense, the kids sat in the back breathing heavily trying to conceal their feelings of panic. Jason began to breathe rapidly as his cheeks turned a bright read and his skin began to flush. Anthony tried to figure out what was wrong when Jason made an implication towards the cars windshield. Before them a grotesquely hideous creature stood just inches away from the car. Screaming coming from one corner and crying from the other. Anthony revved up the car engine and attempted to reverse the car to move away further but ended up hitting the car behind him as a result. The zombie inched closer to the car as Anthony frantically searched around for an alternative. Amanda begun scream as a slender one armed zombie pushed up against the passengers window of the car, the glass cracked slowly but the they were spreading quick. Amanda began to tug and pull at her car seat but couldn't seem to unbuckle herself underneath all of the panic. Jason begun to shake rapidly and sweat excessively due to a panic attack then fainted underneath all of the stress and fear surging through his body. The zombie on the passengers window then broke through the glass and tugged on Amanda's shirt until he was able to bite into her neck and take a chunk of flesh with him. The savage monster than came towards Jason and Jacob ripping them limb from limb. The trauma overwhelmed Anthony as he felt the last ounce of his sanity leave his body. The zombie then wrapped its arms around the collar on Anthony's shirt and pulled him to his rotting blood stained teeth, his teeth only millimeters away from his flesh. Seconds feel like hours as the zombie takes a bite out of his jugular and the world fades to black. You have died. 

That ending was a little confusing huh? Lemme spare you from my blabbing and sum it up into ten simple words. The story setting was a video game and you lost. Interesting twist? Or just a quick way to end a story? Well actually it was both, i found the ending both interesting and a quick way for me to prevent myself from scraping the entire story and turning it into a novel. Hope you enjoyed.! Please stop by again soon. (:
