I slowly lifted my head and peeked outside to find out the situation outside. I noticed there weren’t many zombies hovering around. So, I carefully got out inside the drum and stretched my knees.It looks like the zombies are gone there, and I don’t even hear any noise anymore. So, I went for a walk to find a safer place to hide. I'm walking alone now, looking around because there might be zombies suddenly appearing in front of me. Despite my walk, I found an open cell. I immediately went inside to find a neat clothes that I could exchange for the one I'm wearing now. It looks like I also need to clean my body because the pungent smell of garbage clings to my body.Fortunately, I found some clean clothes there. So, I immediately went to the bathroom and took a shower to reduce the odor on my body. Then I got dressed and was about to go out of the bathroom when I suddenly backed away from what I saw. I went back into the bathroom and barely peeked outside. There was a zombie there, sta

“Laura. My name is Laura.” The woman next to me whispered to me. I turned to her and our eyes met. But I also immediately avoided looking at her eyes and turned my attention to what was happening outside.A short smile drew on my lips, but I didn’t show it to her. I also felt excitement from my heart that seemed to jump for joy. However, what I felt for her, I put aside first and did not pay attention. I was afraid that I might not be able to protect her and that she might disappear from my life, as well as the departure of people who have been a part of my life before.So, I didn’t send in my feelings for her. Instead, I took courage in front of her and pretended not to care about her.Soon the armed men left. I heard her sigh and she seems so scared. But I did not look at her, but stood up and barely peeked outside.“Who are those people?” I was shocked when she approached me and put her shoulder on my arm. So, I step away from her a little and didn't look back.“We'd better get out

“What are you saying? I almost believe in you.” Simon said with a streak of smile on his lips. I just also smiled and turned my head.I was silent for a few minutes when the two men I had encountered earlier suddenly approached me.“About what happened earlier, we apologize to you. I hope you will forgive us.” A man said as he handed me a choco pie. I looked down at the food he was giving me and I accepted it.“We were just really scared earlier, so we did that.” One of his companions said that, so I turned my gaze to him.“Let's forget about that.” I just responded to them and they both smiled.“I'm Ramil, and he's my younger brother, Raven.” Ramil said, so I introduced myself also to them.“Just call me Sixto.” I said, and then they nodded. Kaiser and Simon approached us to introduce themselves to the two brothers as well. Thereafter, we were talking a bit and laughing when I suddenly looked in the direction of Laura and Zero. They have been talking for a while, and it looks like th

“This Raven is intelligent. They are very different from his older brother Ramil.” My father's voice as I quietly peeked at the door and was inside my dark room.When I was only seven years old, I got used to the fact that all their attention was focused only on me. I buy all the toys I want to buy, and I always hear good compliments from other people. But all of that has suddenly changed since my dad introduced Raven to me. He was Dad's son with another woman, and it was only then that Mom and I found out that he had another child and family before we became his family.My mother was very hurt because of that. I witnessed how she gradually sank into extreme loneliness and how she became addicted to alcohol. Morning to night, I often caught up with her in the kitchen. Sitting alone while crying and drowning in alcohol.As her son, I had a grudge against my father. I was angry with him, and I hated him as my father. Occasionally, I even tell myself that I wish I had never been born int

“I really didn't like what happened, and I'm ready to take responsibility for the sin I committed, but my older brother convinced me to hide the crime and keep the truth a secret from our parents.” Suddenly, I stood up to what Raven said in front of the supreme court. I couldn’t believe he was going to reverse the story and make it appear that I was the mastermind of everything. “That's not true …” I kept saying in my mouth as he looked at me sharply with tears in his eyes. As a result, the burden on my case increased, and I lost all hope of being released from that prison. I tried to fight for the truth, but I just failed, and he won with his plans. I retaliated with a strong punch to his face for what he did. But instead of being angry with me, he just grinned and stared at me. “Why did you do that? Why did you lie?” I shouted at him as I held him tightly by his collar. He grinned first before he responded to me. “Do you feel the way I felt when you cheated on me? What can you sa
