Summary

Set in the world of Robert Kirkman's award-winning comic book series, The Walking Dead 365 is a non-canon story. You read the experiences of different characters. Austin, a teenage boy who's father died before the apocalypse and his mother, Samantha will try to find a safe place for herself and Austin. Ellis, a police officer that worked on West Georgia Correctional Facility couldn't be with his family during the apocalypse and is forced to help Frank and Melvin on finding a secure place for survivors. Oscar and Fernando are brothers that lost their parents right when the apocalypse started. They're trying to keep family together and look for their sister, Sofia.

I'll try to make this story as if it actually canon and bring cameos and references from the TV show & the Video Game. Expect lots of original characters.

Austin's Story 2/365

As I stepped crushing the orange leaves falling from the tree on top of my father's grave, Daniel, I still had the tears raining down. It was five days since I've seen my father, alive. I felt as if he was still here. With my mother and I.

I stepped out of the graveyard and saw more police cars. I live in a suburb Greenville, South Carolina. It's calm here and all the years I've lived in Greenville, I've never seen more than two police cars in a day.

I got in my quiet neighborhood. Elderly people lived in house all around us. I'm the youngest one in my block so I don't really hang out with my friends after school ends. I go up the stairway get the keys out of my pocket and open the door.
"Mom?" I said but I didn't get a reply.
I went dashing in my room and looked at the calendar. Tuesday. My mother, Samantha, is a news editor for WABE in Atlanta. She comes back home at 7 pm on the weekends but it's Tuesday and she's suppose to come home at 4 pm. I try not to worry and open up my laptop.

I went on Facebook and checked what was going on in my friend's life. Nothing exciting.
Few hours passed and mother didn't come. I called her multiple times. No answers. It was getting late and I still heard the sirens. Something was going on.
I started watching the news if there was something going on. As I watched, the reporter was trying to give out the news, but seemed very nervous. They were losing signal, but I could make some of the words. The news reporter was saying some infection in Atlanta, and we had to hide from the people with the infection.

I hear my phone ring! I picked up the phone. It was mother.
"Austin? Are you ok?!" My mother screamed through the phone.
"Yes, Mom. Where are you?" I replied
"I'm driving back from Atlanta…" I noticed that she was losing signal.
"Mom what's going on back there?" I asked.
"It's… Do I hear sirens outside?" Even my mother noticed.
"They've been all around the city." I said looking out the window.
"Ok, Austin I need you to…." The signal was getting worse.
"Mom?!" I said worriedly.
Her phone lost signal. I went downstairs to lock all the doors. When I finished locking every window, and door. I heard gunshots, followed by a scream. I went to my room and locked myself.

                                ______________________________________________________

I waited for hours. I started crying. I didn't know where my mother could be, or what's going on. I took a deep breath, I knew I couldn't just stay here. I grabbed my black bubble jacket, in the pockets there was a pocket knife. I forgot about it. It was my father's gift on my 12th birthday. I must have hidden it before when my father was alive. My mother wasn't really happy with my gift, but now it's useful.
I open my backdoor.

I can see the red and blue lights of the police car! I was going to run out and scream help but what if the police officer shoots me? I heard more gunshots after waiting for hours in my room, but I also don't know if the police officer could help me. I peek over my fence. He's on the floor. I open the fence and walk toward him.
"Officer?" I whisper.
As I kneel to his body I notice he isn't breathing. I examine his body only to find a bullet hole by his chest. I flinched a little, but then I see his gun. It's a small black one. I take it carefully. It feels wrong to hold it. I began to look inside the car until something grabbed my leg!
It was the police officer!
"Officer? Are you still alive?" I said trying to pull my leg away but he didn't let go.
He moaned and rose up growling, looking at me with confusion and the started to get up on me!
"What's wrong with you?! HELP!" I screamed, but nobody came. I tried to close the door, but his arms were preventing it.

I managed to get inside of the police car, but I can't close the door all the way because of his arms and he keeps on growling violently, I'm scared to open the door and make a run for it. The police officer let's go of my leg, giving me a chance to close the door but after a moment he's bashing his face into the window! I try to close the window but he stuck his head in! I back up into the driver's seat. He manages to stick his arms and torso into the car. I grab the gun that I took from him and aim at his head. I put my fingers on the trigger. I close my eyes and press the trigger…. Nothing? The police officer slides more into the car slowly trying to reach me. I press the trigger once, and again, and again! No bullets I think. Then I notice there's lights coming into my direction! It's a car. It goes into full speed and makes a right where the policeman's legs are. I flinch for a moment and open my eyes. The car took the policeman's legs off but he was still alive! Now he manages to get in the car! I start kicking his face, but someone opens the door behind me!
I got out quickly and I hear a shot. I turn behind me and it's mother!
"Austin! I told you to stay in the house!" My mother yelled.
"I thought you weren't coming so I left the house to check what was
going on!"
I yelled back at her.
I see my mother's eyes shed tears.
"I-I'm sorry, Austin. I thought I wasn't going to make it…" she says as the hugs me. I hug her back. We walk to a jeep.
"Mom? Where did you get this car?" I asked while sitting down.
"I had to take it. They took over ours." Mom said turning on the car.
"Who took over it?" I said as I closed the door.
My mother took a deep breath.
"People. Who rose from the dead." Mother said as we started driving.
I was in shock. I didn't know how to react, so I stayed quiet.
" I was driving back home." My mother started speaking.
" There was a lot of traffic. Until the moment people were getting out of their cars and running away from… The dead. I saw person get eaten alive!" my mother let out a cry. She stopped for a moment.
"So, it was like the police officer?" I asked my mom.
"Yes, the dead bite you and eat you. Whatever is left of you comes back. It's the bite that turns you into one of them." Mother said.
It didn't make sense. The police officer I saw didn't have any sort of bites only a bullet hole.
"There were some coming at me. I had to get out of the car and go on foot. Until I saw this car left with this pistol and some grocery bags."
As she said that she grabbed my gun.
"It doesn't have any bullets." I say
"It does. You just forgot to take the safety off." Mom says as she puts in a bag.
I look back of the car. There's about more than a dozen grocery bags.
"But mom…" I say looking straight at her.
"The policeman that tried to attack me didn't get bit."
She stopped the car.
"Austin. Are you sure?" she said.
"I checked. It was a gunshot that killed him." I say
My mother looks at the road. I realize there were more dead people coming at us. My mom steps on the paddle.
"Where are we going?" I say after breaking a long pause.
"Columbia.I don't think the infection could of spread that far." My mom says with little hope in her voice.
"Go to sleep." Mother says. "I'll wake you up when were there."
I settle on my side. I think. How the world has gone to hell in just a day. I don't know where it started. What if there's more dead people? I close my eyes, wondering what's going to happen.
