It took the duo that was Kevin and Max a lot of effort to convince the girl to join them as sobs racked her body over the death of the boy they had found her with. She remained where Kevin let her fall, shedding tears on the ground while the two men looked on, the killer unmoved — convinced that he had done what was absolutely necessary to save themselves from a man with an infected leg and the rest of the world from an extra zombie, while the other man looked as though he would join the girl in crying for the boy.“Was he your boyfriend?” Max asked, not without being spared a deathly glare from the other man, however.She shook her head.“Did you guys fuck?”Again, she shook her head, too immersed in her misery to see Max raise his eyebrows and then roll his eyes at Kevin.“You should come with us.” Kevin told her. “We are just trying to save ourselves from the apocalypse, and don't want to leave you here alone with the zombies.”“You promised my friend to take care of him and kille

Laila.At the van, the sympathetic man whom she liked more was still with the girl, still holding her to himself while the boy looked up at them. “She's gone through too much already.” The newcomers heard him say. “To lose your full hearing and see a corpse so close to you in twenty four hours. Why did she leave the van?”“To save you.” The black boy answered. “She was brave enough to think she could have.”“She heard the gunshot?”“She can only hear things said and done loud enough.”“Oh yes, that is true.”Again, the sympathetic man who she liked more planted a kiss on the girl's hair, cradling her in his arms before raising his head to look at them. “I think camping in the bunker until we can get help is the best thing we can do for now. We should get in as quickly as possible and shut ourselves in while I go to get some food for us all when we start running out of supplies.”“What about me?” Laila heard the unsympathetic man ask.“I promised to take care of the children, or did I

The soldiers standing at the border that separated Middlestown from her closest neighbour, Heavenlin, had until that moment done their work well enough and kept all who tried to leave Middlestown well within their limits. They had made camp at the border and were at their posts again that morning, doing their jobs with dedicated service when a single person was spotted running towards their ranks from three hundred yards away by the watchman, himself another single man sitting up on a high post with a pair of binoculars for his aid.He called for a shooter, and one soldier — the best shooter of his squad — fell into position behind a barrier set up for the purpose, and then shot, him being one of the best shooters of them all. Still, the person continued to run even closer, undaunted. He let off two more shots, firing them in quick succession. Still, this person did not stop his advance, as though the bullets had not even touched him at all.Two more people fell in step behind the ap

Despite a thirty-minute advance warning, there were still those caught unawares when the zombies came in.They were those sitting in a traffic jam, convinced that being locked in their cars could protect them, and those still stealing from the supermarkets, trying to get their hands on whatever they could at the dying minute. There were those who had no idea of how short a period of time thirty minutes actually was, who had convinced themselves that they still had time, and others who still did not believe that the zombies were actually real. Then there was finally, those who thought that it would be fun to have a live encounter with these creatures.They rushed in, and one man stood shooting at the one horned bull zombie that ran towards him with a large chunk of its neck bitten off, so that bones and cords were hung from the hole where the neck met the shoulders. All the bullets seemed to have no effect as he shot until it gored him, throwing him up into the air and moving off. He w

The place named Ioso was quite popular for the lake it was named after, Lake Ioso, despite being a small town. The lake was known for its biodiversity and peaceful atmosphere for fishing, and it was exactly what Julian Hernandez was seeking when he met the unfortunate incident that sent him running wounded to the Santa Maria Hospital.The doctor who heard him give this account, Dr. Andres was sure that the Q-21 virus plaguing Middlestown and her unlucky neighbour Heavenlin had found its way fifteen thousand kilometres around the earth to their beloved Ioso, and he did not keep this fear within him, but rather gathered all the doctors on duty at the Santa Maria Hospital that Saturday morning.“We are in trouble.” He started, looking at the faces of the three other senior doctors who all wanted to be elsewhere, the whiteness of the room and the light within glinting off their faces. “That man… Julian…”“Is mentally unstable.” One of his listeners, Dr. Carrio, the Head Doctor of the hosp
