After getting into my 09’ Nissan Altima, i pulled out hearing screaming all around. With no time to save others but those I care for, I zipped out of the neighborhood. What awaited me on the main road was chaos. There were crashed cars everywhere. I had to cross into the other side to goto the left to get to my sister's house. My sister is not a biological sister, but she's the closest thing that I had to one, growing up with 3 brothers. We met as freshmen in highschool and we just ended up being siblings.
When I thought it was a good time, I gassed my car across lanes, dodging incoming frantic cars, and monsters alike. I could see people being eaten and savagely killed. I could see another goblin blocking the road, so I pressed the pedal to the floor and downshifted. The goblin, not knowing what was about to happen, got hit while I was speeding 70 in a 40. Blue blood splattered all over my windshield, so I turned on my windshield wipers and sprayed fluid. I actually didn’t notice before, but the blood of the first goblin and the werewolf that I killed earlier had blue blood as well. With no time to think about it, I speed down the road.
Luckily, my sister's house was not far from mine; only about 2 or 3 miles away, so I got there in minutes. Arriving at the front of her house, I see a group of imps loitering in front of her garage. These demonic looking creatures looked like a red, shorter version of a goblin. Standing at about 3 ft tall, they had small red horns poking out of their foreheads. They had no shirts on, with only a loincloth to cover their genitals, if they had any. I jumped out of my car, sword in hand and rushed towards the imps. Unfortunately, they noticed me as soon as I pulled up. As I was rushing up, I noticed some fire gathering in one of the imps hands, while the others held small daggers.
“Shit! A fucking fireball” I said as I tumble left. Before it could shoot out another one, I took out my pocket knife that I always have on me, flicked it out and threw it at the mage imp. Luckily, it was too busy concentrating to notice a knife flying towards its face. The knife lands and lodges itself into the imps right eye, blinded it, making it howl out in pain. The dagger imps surrounded the mage, protecting it from further harm. I confronted the group with sword in hand, and with a swing, I easily decapitated ⅙ imps. Noticing how easy they were to cut, I sliced through them all to death. Some tried to parry, but their weapons were inferior to mine, causing their flimsy daggers to break or be deflected away.
After dealing with the imps, I proceeded to the wide open front door quickly before any other monsters noticed me. Once inside, I noticed 2 dead bodies. It's the parents of my sister. With a short regret, I ran upstairs to look for her. I found her in her room, tears streaming down her face. She was sitting on her bed, in a fetal position. I notice her sister on the floor, face down, with a pool of blood flowing under her. In another corner, I see a dead zombie with a knife stuck in its head. I look at my sister, britney. She was a few months older than I, but I was always the big bro. About 5”2, she was of average asian height. I went over to her to hug her. I say to her, “sis, we have to leave now. They're all going to turn into zombies soon. With a slight nod, and wiping her tears, she got up to follow me downstairs. When I got downstairs with her behind me, I see a pack of oversized wolves eating the imps I killed. They looked like normal wolves, except they stood at 5 ft tall on all fours, with muscles protruding everywhere.

“Shit. Fucking dire wolves? They're suppose to be extinct.”
“What do we do bro *sniffle*”
“Were going to have to yard hop. I can't that those things yet. Let's grab some kitchen knives. I lost my pocket knife and you need a weapon yourself sis.”
She nods to me, and we proceed to the kitchen.
“I think we should carry a few bottles of water and food. Everything is going to go to shit, and we won’t have running water and electricity soon. And speaking of electricity, let's see if the news is on.”
I grab the remote and turned down the volume a bit to not attract attention.
“I’m here in downtown portland, and we are getting attacked by monsters everywhere. These things are popping up out of nowhere, killing everything they see. Over on that building *points toward a tall building* there is a giant gorilla. It seems that all things fiction has turned to re-”
Before she finished her sentence, the news reporter got swept up by what seems to be a giant bat. We only got to hear her scream, while the camera dropped on the floor, showing a man, I assume to be the cameraman, running away before he too got swept up. I turned off the tv and look at my sister.
“We have to get our supplies and leave now.”
She agrees and we, together, have 8 bottles of water, 3 packs of beef jerky, about 10 granola bars, a box of cereal, and a few pounds of rice. I also decided to take some bottles of supplements to keep our body in top shape.
“Alright let's go sis.”
We yard hop 5 houses before we sighted no monsters. We enter a house and immediately I smell death. Not 2 seconds later I see a dead man on the floor. I searched his pockets and found keys to a toyota. I look in the front yard and see the last car I’d like to drive.
“A fucking prius! Why the fuck would you own a prius! For fucks sakes! I'm glad this fucking guy is dead for driving a fucking prius. This shit dont even got v-tech.”
“Bro, we don't have much of a choice.”
“Yea but I’d rather have a sports car or a truck to run shit over. Those direwolves would probably run me over in that prius, rather than the other way around. Well, let's checkout if they got any good food in the garage”
When I opened the garage door, another savage grin appears before my face, while britney just face palms and shakes her head. Before me was one of my dream cars: a Nissan GTR.
"Looks like I got an upgrade from my Altima sis".
