2024: Zombies 12
I came too to see that I was still tied up, I had something stuffed in my mouth, and my back was on fired for whatever they were doing to me.This is not how I thought trying to survive a zombie apocalypse would have been, he being tied up by some rowdy bunch who was doing all this for fun.They had Eva tired to a tree stomp and burning her with a hot iron all over the body.I didn't know if Mustang was still alive or not because he was unmoving.They were threatening to do things to Chrisean and Mia before my eyes.And they only one who wasn't having any problem was Abby, who was sitting on the man who said he was God's lap.She was telling him how she would do anything to please him, and I knew it wasn't a strategy for us to escape.I still can't fantom the thought that people were like this. They would rather see people suffer than come together to help fight for the human race.Maybe that's why my brother said in the letter that I should pick who I choose to carry on the ship with

We were well on our way, but I guess the minivan didn’t have much gas because it suddenly broke down.Mustang turned to look at us. ‘’We have to continue on foot, everybody up for it.’’I looked down at Mia, who was sleeping, and knew that I would have to carry her.‘’I can manage,’’ Chrisean said.Mustang carried Eva, and together we navigated the winding road that had no lights, so it was hard to see our own hands before us.The only thing that was constant was the nasty smell of lifeless bodies and the occasional growls from the zombies in the nearby bushes.I was on high alert, waiting for them to jump out on us any minute now. And because of this, I wasn’t paying much attention to where I was going and tripped over something.It grabbed at my foot, and I kicked wildly until I heard a weak voice.‘’Help me.’’But whoever it was, there was no hope for them. They were either almost dead, or on their way to becoming a zombie.The rustling in the bush got closer, and I scrambled to my

Not seeing any immediate threat, we got out of the car.‘’Maybe we can find another car along the way,’’ Eva said, assessing the damage done to the front of the car.‘’I doubt it, each time we only got lucky,’’ Chrisean said.There was a rustling in the bush and before any of us could react, a zombie sunk it’s teeth in Eva’s neck.She screamed out and tried to fight him off, but I guess she was too weak.‘’Eva!’’ Mustang yelled and fired several shots, but none of them hit the zombie.He aimed again, but Chrisean pushed his gun away.‘’Stop, it’s too late for her now and it might attract more zombies to us.’’But mustang didn’t want to hear any of that, he fired several more shots.I thought he was trying to get the zombie, but his aim was right at Eva.‘’I am sorry, Eva,’’ he said as her lifeless eyes stared at him.There was a roar and Mustang ran off without another word.I pulled Mia along with me, telling myself that I can’t let her die like Lura. I promised that I will take her

I don’t know how long we were walking for, but we came to a boarded-up house and Mustang suggested that we rest there for a while.I am still shocked at how resilient he was, even after being shot in the arm he used it as if nothing had happened.He didn’t even seem to be in pain, and I was starting to doubt that he was even human.There was only one bed in the small house, and cloth thrown all around. It also smelt of rotten flesh inside.‘’I don’t like it here,’’ Mia said.‘’We don’t really have much choice, but I promise that we will make it to that ship and things will be better.’’ I patted her head.‘’Oh my God,’’ I heard Chrisean let out, then followed her eyes to where she was looking.There in a chair was an old lady, her mouth slowly gaping at us and her teeth making low snapping sound.‘’She is a zombie,’’ Mia began to cry.‘’But I don’t think she can move, I guess she is too old to do anything.’’ Mustang assured her, but that didn’t even help my nerve.He then threw a sheet

We got to a spring, and just as Mustang was about to suggest something, a female ran out in the road.The car swerved and came to a stop, I thought Mustang would have reversed but instead he sped up.‘’What? She needed our help,’’ I said.‘’No, the fuck that bitch doesn’t!’’When I looked back I saw two men waving their guns in the air and laughing.There was nothing for me to say, but to look ahead as if I was the one driving.‘’What if we don’t make it to the ship?’’ Chrisean suddenly said. ‘’I don’t want to be a downer, but there are all these odds against us. I don’t know if we will make it.’’‘’Little lady, best believe that we will. Despite what we have to go through,’’ Mustang said.‘’I have been through worse than this. Was once stuck in the desert for twenty days, no food no water and the moment I was about to give up I saw a dead camel. You want to know what I did?’’He paused for dramatic effect.‘’I ate pieces of its meat raw and had to drink cactus juice. Then finally I w

‘’I came here on a friendly visit, Dr. Lynn. She is expecting us,’’ Mustang said.Two of the men exchanged looks, and I didn’t like that, because it was either they are still going to kill us, or that this doctor woman was already dead.‘’How do you know Keshia?’’ the man asked.‘’She is a friend of mine. Just tell her that Mustang is here to see her.’’The man’s face held recognition of the name.‘’Fine, follow me this way.’’And as we walked through the town, the men never removed the guns off us, as if expecting us to do something.‘’Do you really think they are leading us to this doctor?’’ Chrisean whispered to me.‘’I don’t know,’’ I told her.I know she was looking for some form of reassurance, but I couldn’t give her that.I don’t know what these men had in mind. They could be leading us to the doctor or our deaths.We finally got to a house that didn’t seem as if anyone lived there, but the man knocked and after a while a beautiful woman came to open the door.‘’Dr. Lynn,’’ Mu

I didn’t know how long we where at Dr Lynn’s for.I didn’t know if she was making progress, I didn’t know if the ships were still there or how longer we had left to live.We were told nothing, and all Dr Lynn and Mustang did was talk and laughed with each other.She was mostly cooped up in her lab, while he made friends with the men who were protecting this place.I was becoming restless, and I guess Chrisean was as well.While sitting around the table and bouncing my leg up and down, a thought came to me and without a second thought I got up and went down to the lab.I pushed the door open to see Dr Lynn just standing there.She didn’t turn to face me, but her voice was angry.‘’Why are you disturbing me.’’‘’I think we have been here long enough, and nothing is happening. Did you find a cure? Can we go to those ships? What?’’She laughed.‘’Do you really think that science only takes a day or even five days? Kid, there are trial and errors until we get it all right.’’‘’Yes, but at

I wasn’t normally one to get angry, but the sight before me caused to be.This mad woman had a child locked in the cage with the zombie.‘’Relax, they have been like this all morning, I just think that even though parts of the zombie’s humanity had been restored, I can’t do much about the rotted flesh, that is a different cure altogether.’’‘’You think, and half its humanity. I know that you think you are the shit, but what you are doing is crazy and just half of a theory. Aren’t you thinking about that little boy? What if the zombie loses it and attack?’’Dr. Lynn shook her head.‘’The child will be fine, I know what I am doing and is positive that with just one more dose of my cure, the zombie will be fully human.’’I guess the zombie was listening to us, because it turned its head in our direction, and I swore it smiled at me.‘’I don’t trust this,’’ I said.‘’I don’t care about you child. My purpose is to be the one to find the cure and save humanity, and I’ll do whatever it takes
