** Life or Death ** By: Mitchell Staniszewski Two weeks after first infection. Santiago says, “Stop,” then crouches down and puts his fingers in some gooey stuff and says, “I wonder what it is?” Then Gerald says in a sarcastic tone, “Gees don’t let that stop you from spreading it all over yourself.” “Their changing,” said Santiago in an angry voice and wipes his fingers on Gerald’s vest. “Aw dang it Santiago, aw it smells to,” says Gerald as Louis chuckles in his mouth. The group hears a faint crying and Hanah says, “Someone is still alive.” So Santiago and Hanah go into a little shed connected to an apartment as they open the door slowly Hanah turns on her flash light and they slowly walked in then a lightning bolt made a light and they saw a beast so Santiago shoves down Hanah’s flashlight and says, “lights down” and whispers, “quiet” Outside the shed Louis and Gerald were guarding the shed they hear a scream and see a bunch of zombies running at them and climbing fences so Louis says, “shoot, Shoot, shoot, shoot then runs in the shed and yells, “their coming!” but accidentally shines his flashlight on the witch so she looks up and screams and slowly gets up as Hanah says, “run like heck” so they run outside and Santiago closes the door and Louis leans against it. The witch runs at the door and dents it twice then breaks a hole in the door so Louis screams rite as the zombies reach then so Louis is shooting the witch through the door and saying, “DO YOU LIKE THAT? DO YOU LIKE THAT?” Santiago, Gerald, and Hanah are protecting Louis while he is killing the witch. Once he killed the witch he helped get rid of the other zombies. Five seconds later a smoker shoots out his toung and grabbed Santiago and squeezed Santiago so hard Santiago was suffocating Santiago. Gerald heard Santiago and shot the smoker who blew up in a puff of smoke. A helicopter scared the zombies away but didn’t see the survivors. Louis follows the helicopter and yells, “Hay down here down here were not infected hay help!” but the helicopter didn’t see Louis and says “if there are any survivors we will meet you at the top of Mercy Hospital.” While Louis is running he runs out of energy so stops to catch his breath. A hunter is crawling on the edge of the roof and sees Louis so he jumps around to get closer than jumps and lands on Louis and starts clawing at Louis. Hanah hears Louis struggling and runs to him and starts repeatedly shooting at the hunter and the bullets are pushing the hunter towards a car Louis ,on the ground aims carefully at the hunters head and shoots his head witch kills him but the hunters body lands on a car and sets off the alarm. As Hanah is helping up Louis Santiago and Gerald come and Santiago says t"this is about to get really bad." When they look around they see zombies, zombies, and more zombies. But while they were getting ready they hear a low yell And see a car fly and hit a bunch of zombies out of its way while it is running at them smashing any zombies that gets in its way. Louis says “do we run? Do we shoot?” Then Santiago says “both”. so they do just that. As they’re running into the ally a bunch of zombies and the tank run after them, they run around a corner and prepare to shoot the tank had already shoved all the zombies on the wall on the way to the corner. Around the corner the survivors prepares to fight the tank Gerald says “Come on!” When the tank rounds the corner still smashing zombies on the wall the survivors shoot and shoot and run. Louis sees an apartment stairs that lead to the roof so Louis yells “up the windy stairs." First Hanah goes up to the top of the roof then Louis goes up. When Louis gets to the top, Gerald was about to start climbing up the latter when he looks back and sees Santiago about to get smashed by the tank Gerald shoots the tank in the face witch makes him swing sideways and hit a wall instead of Santiago. Bill was about to climb up when he noticed Gerald wasn’t there so he looked back and Gerald was about to get smashed. Santiago shoots the tank in the face with his machine gun until Francis is half way. Bill started to climb the latter and the tank wanted to crush Santiago so he jumps and grabs on to the stairs, he is watching Bill and sees that he can just catch up to Santiago he can just climb the stairs while dangling on to every other turn around in the stairs. when makes it to the top Hanah was shooting down protecting them from regular zombies but wasn’t smart enough to run when she saw the tank. When she finally decided to run she turned around rite as the tank was pulling the platform down she jumped but didn’t make it so as she was falling she said “Francis” Then Gerald grabbed Hanah’s hand and pulled her up to the roof as they saw the tank fall and get covered in heavy metal stairs and died. On the roof Louis says “We made it, I can’t believe we made it.” Then Santiago said as he lit a cigar “Son we just crossed the street, lets not throw a party till we’re out of the city."

**Questions for Peer Reviewers**
(Think in terms of questions you would like to ask the author.)

1. Think of plot—is it original? (If an adaptation, is it creative or interesting to you?) What suggestions do you have for the author(s)?

2. Think about problems that the characters face. Are there complications that add enough suspense, tension, or interest? Is there a climax that satisfies you? Is the resolution satisfying? What could be added or changed?

3. Think of characterization—are the characters life-like? Are characters likable and enjoyable? Do we get a good sense of character from many of these: description, dialogue, narrator's opinion, discussion from other characters, the character’s own actions?

4. Think of imagery and details. Do they help you //see// and //hear// and //experience// the story? What details would you like to see in the next revision of the story?
