2024: Zombies 18
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

I ran back to where Mustang was standing, his eyes were filled with so much sadness I could almost feel the raw emotions rolling off him.‘’Where is Chrisean and Mia?’’ I asked.With a heavy sigh he mustered the courage to deliver the bitter news.‘’I’m, sorry kid, I couldn’t protect them. The group of hostiles got to them first.’’‘’What?’’‘’You know I would protect myself to save them, but I couldn’t get to them in time.’’1A wave of disbelief crashed over me, and tears welled up in my eyes as the realization settled in. The pain and anguish of losing them engulfed me, Mia was like a little sister to me, and the time spent with Chrisean made me fall in love with her.I just couldn’t accept this; I still couldn’t believe his words and even though I knew that he told the truth I still searched for them.‘’Chrisean! Mia!’’ I began to yell their names.‘’Jeremy, I know that you feel some sort of way, but please keep it down else them sickos will come back for us.’’In my grief, I lash

We finally found somewhere for Mia to relive herself, Chrisean followed her to the restroom in the small gas station, while Mustang and I where on the look out with our guns at ready for any ambush.Suddenly, Chrisean and Mia came running up to us. She had a look on her face that I couldn’t read, and I thought that maybe it was a zombie or one of those men chasing after her.‘’What is it?’’ Mustang asked.‘’Nothing, I found a radio, it is working but I can hardly hear with the person is saying.’’Chrisean then pulled out a radio, the same one from in my dream but this time Chrisean was the one who found it.Mustang took the radio from her and turned the dials until we could hear the voice but there was still too much static for us to make out what was being said.Mustang nodded. ‘’I think we have intercepted some sort of signal; they are broadcasting a message.’’‘’What kind of message?’’ Chrisean asked.Mustang turned the dials, the radio crackled with static, and a female voice cut

“Well, what is an adventure without a little misfortune?’’ Chrisean laughed but I didn’t find it funny at all.We were being chased by zombies and humans alike.In a sudden and horrifying twist, the car overheated and broke down, Mustang tried to fix the engine but whatever he did made it worse, and a fire broke out. Leaving us with nothing but the clothes on our backs.Now we were stuck in a supermarket, I had a nasty cut on my leg, we didn’t know where Mustang was, Mia was crying, and Chrisean was making jokes.‘’We need to try and leave, find the others, and get the hell out of here,’’ I said.But a figure lunged at us, its undead presence catching me off guard and grabbed Chrisean and began to drag her away, normally these little shits would be biting but every zombie is different, and these ones liked to play around with their food before eating it.Chrisean let out a piercing scream, desperately calling out my name, I chased after them with an ax, but the damn thing was too fast

‘’We can’t let them die, please help me. Then we all can go to those ships and live happily.’’I didn’t hear what Chrisean said, but that didn’t stop Deedee, instead she began to dig more frantically.‘’Jeremy!’’ Chrisean yelled out my name then waved me over.‘’It’s working, I think we just need something now to hold the hole open and those people can get out.’’Hearing that, it caused me to run around like a headless chicken until I found three pieces of iron pipes and a piece of board.I stuck then inside the hole to keep it open while you continued digging.I paused for a short second, thinking what would have happened if Deedee wasn’t so easily swayed and we had persuaded her to come with us.‘’Deedee, go tell those people to move here to there back.’’She did as I told her and soon they were pushing out three small children, then two women and two men.A woman didn’t hesitate to throw her arms around me.‘’Thank you, thank you. You saved us.’’She then hurried over and hugged De

‘’Let’s take a break,’’ I said to Chrisean, I could see that she was tired, and I knew that it couldn’t be easy to carry most of my weight.We have long since lost sight of Deedee and her family.‘’We can’t stop now; the sun is still high in the sky.’’‘’Yes, and that’s why I am telling you to take a break. Let’s have some of the water Deedee gave us, rest for a while and then continue.’’Finally accepting it, Chrisean sighed and placed me on a rock.I gave the bottle of water to her first.‘’I still can’t believe those people, after helping them and risking our own lives they just… just fucked us off like that.’’At first I said nothing.‘’To be honest, I would rather to take my chances with zombies, at least we know exactly what they want. And that is to always eat, us humans on the other hand. We are our own destruction.’’I stood to see if I could at least manage my own weight now, and to my surprise my leg felt fine.‘’That’s weird, a few hours ago my leg was swollen and caused m

‘’Of course it is you, selfish man,’’ Chrisean said, beating me to it.Lester scoffed. ‘’Selfish? The eight of us is more than enough in here, we don’t need the extra mouths to feed.’’‘’You are right, we don’t need the extra mouths, so keep running yours and see if I don’t throw you to the dogs I saved you from.’’Lester gave me a dirty look before going to sit at one of the tables.‘’Jeremy!’’ Mia squealed with joy, running up to me.I bent down and engulfed her into a big hug.‘’I am so glad you are alright kid.’’‘’I am glad you are ok too, but Mustang kept me safe.’’Mustang clapped me on my back.‘’You two had me worried.’’‘’Don’t worry, the four of us are in this together.’’Mustang frowned, ‘’kid, I formed a small group while we were parted.’’I recalled to him how we helped Lester and his family then he did us dirty.‘’That little shit, he knew what he did. No wonder why he was pushing so much to shoot you, and now I see why he was pushing me to make votes and kick people ou
