    My Eclipse Story.
    By: Jason Groskreutz
    My eclipse story starts when the day of the eclipse in 2017 rises. It was an ordinary day or it seemed to be. The students at south Cobb high school didn’t expect their world’s to be turned upside down. The students thought the eclipse would be just another day until one student looked out the window and noticed a huge pile of cars outside of the school campus. There was buildings burning, and undead Nazi’s roaming the streets with Hitler leading what was once his army.
    Hitler and his army of Nazi zombies were terrorizing the American citizens. Then out of nowhere the army noticed the high school and started towards the school. All of the students in school were forced to survive as one.
