Liz looks at him in confusion. “Anger?” she asks. “What does that mean?"Paul glances down at Liz as the doors open with a ding and steps out. “The creature may look like a beast, but its emotions are much more complex than that. Its anger is pure rage fueled by fear, fear fueled by pain, and pain fueled by loneliness. It's driven by hate, hate-fueled by grief. That's why it's called the Beast of New York"“You must have lost your mind,” Elizabeth whispers incredulously.Paul shakes his head as they step out of the elevator and approach the cell doors. “I wouldn't say that, Liz. I wouldn't call what I saw a hallucination if it was just a hallucination. You see, the reason I said 'no one can resist being drawn to this place is that I b

The group is led through a maze of hallways and then down stairs to a basement. The room is dark and musty smelling. An old iron gate is sitting on a platform in the middle of the room and a couple of men are standing next to it. There is a large metal padlock attached to the front gate. Two guards stand guard outside the gate. A loud noise catches the group’s attention and the doors of the lift begin to slide open.Liz looks up and sees another security guard standing behind the two men, holding a gun pointed directly at them. She stares wide-eyed at the guard before quickly averting her gaze, focusing instead on the floor. After the elevator door has slid shut once again, she turns back to look at the guards.One of them smiles at her slightly, "I'm sorry Miss Jones. No visitors permitted under any circumstances." He reaches up and pats her head playfully. "I bet they'll let you through though. It's nice to see a young woman getting some exercise, hm?"The other guard smiles malicio

He went back to his horse and mounted it quickly.He rushed climbing unto his horse as he raced to Clem city. The streets were filled with zombies, he avoided the corpses as he rode past them. They weren't paying him any attention anyway. As he neared the city, it became darker and darker, the only source of light coming from the moon.

The gate was open, but nothing else. Nothing unusual. Deadman dismounted and entered the city. No zombies greeted him, and no sounds of screaming or crying echoed through the em

of the city. Perhaps to escape another zombie attack.He entered and noticed how dim it appeared compared to the outside world. The lights were all broken or missing, but he didn't care, he needed to focus on the task at hand. He searched the hallways for any signs of other people, but he found nothing. “Hello?! Anybody here?? Please respond" Deadman yelled out, he knew they were here, and they would hear him eventually, but he hoped that they didn't answer him“If anyone sees me, please come to my aid!" He shouted, still searching the halls for movement. Eventually, he decided to go upstairs to where they stored the bodies to search for survivors.After checking every hallway and room in the building, he decided he couldn't continue. It was empty. He left the hall and returned downstairs into the city.

DEADMAN POV I walked into the middle of the abandoned building with my gun drawn close to me . The place seemed empty, not a sound could be heard aside from my breathing. Suddenly, I felt something touching my leg, it was cold and slimy, causing me to look down to see the most disgusting thing I'd seen in my entire life.It was a body, lying lifelessly across the floor. There was a hole in its chest. The body looked human, even though its face and arms were covered in blood. The clothes were dirty, torn, and ripped, along with the shoes.The body lay on the floor, next to one of the many pools of blood covering the floor. The smell of blood filled the air, and my body tensed up slightly, afraid of what the body might do. Slowly, I walked closer to examine the body. On the corpse’s stomach, there was a large red stain. A wound? That's weird, it shouldn't have any blood, unless…I touched the wound, and the whole thing started to burn hot. It was a burning sensation, the same kind t

I tried focusing back on the camera, but all I saw was darknessMy vision finally cleared and I gasped, I had accidentally hit one of the creatures with my gun, knocking it off balance. With shaky fingers, I pushed the button for the video to stop recording, letting out a sigh of relief.‘I am so stupid I thought. I took the camera and threw it across the room, where it crashed against the far wall, shattering into dozens of pieces. ‘Shit! This is bad, I need to fix the camera!’I stumbled over to my camera and picked it up carefully. Luckily it didn't break apart into many pieces, but that didn't make me feel much better eitherI placed the camera on my desk and sat in front of it, grabbing my pen, and writing something down in my diary***A few hours passed, and it was already dar

“You want the apple, trust me it in a safe hand” I answered“What do you mean safe hand?”Jaden asked me “Over there” I pointed behind as they all turned to see an 8ft zombie rushing towards us , it raised its bloody arms in the air with blood dripping down his hands, droplets of red hitting the ground as it approached. All of us screamed and ran in the opposite direction. We ran down different alleyways, avoiding the zombie until we eventually reached a big, open area full of empty parking lots filled with carsWe stopped running, panting heavily, staring at each other. I leaned against the brick wall of one of the empty parking lots as I watched the rest of our group take cover from another group of zombies.“So, what exactly does the apple do anyway?” Jake asked me“It gives powers” I replied.The zombie slams the cars on its pathway as it causing a large explosion and destroying all the cars surrounding it“How does the apple work?

Hours later the ship was heading towards a car junk as a ship horned loudly, signaling the end of their journey. Roy turns to look at Kori as she stands up, “Let’s go” she said while walking toward the door leading below deck. Roy gets up and starts following her, keeping his distance from everyone else, knowing that they have many questions they want to be answered.When they arrive at the bottom of the stairs, Kori opens the door to one of the rooms, entering before Roy. Roy quickly follows her inside the room and closes the door behind them. He stops walking and turns around to face Kori, “So where do I begin?” he said.“How about the beginning” Kori suggests.“Alright….so let me start by asking you a question...why do you think I’m going to stay here...when I should be trying to find a way out,” Roy asks.“There is a good chance that this mission will turn into a battle. If we stay here until then, the army will capture and use you as a bargaining chip. While that may seem harsh,

“You never did tell me about the explosion," Roy asked while staring at kori “You saved us...you saved the entire city," Kori replies. “From what?” he asked while staring directly at Kori with the image of a lady flashing before his eyes. Kori walks closer to him while kissing him gently on the kisser. Roy closes his eyes and kisses her back, savoring every moment with her. The two continue to enjoy each other's touch, enjoying the feeling of happiness before pulling away. "I'm sorry Roy" Kori apologized quietly as she looked down. “What?” Roy asked confused by what she said “Why are you apologizing? What for?" Kori glances at Roy briefly before looking forward again “It’s just...well...we've both known that we're soulmates since birth. I don't think we’ve ever told each other that we love each other or even admitted that we were attracted to each other. Even though we knew we loved each other, we didn't say anything.

“Okay, I need to grab something out of my backpack. Stay with me, Roy. Please!” he says while walking towards the tree and pulling out one of the many bags he’s carried around. He opens the bag and begins rummaging through it once again. Then he finds what he was looking for: a small box with a few bottles of liquid inside. He quickly runs back to Roy and kneels next to him as fast as he possibly could without losing balance. “We have to get you into my tent, alright? It’s our only chance.” He places the first bottle of saline on the ground and takes the box out of his pocket, opens it, and puts a couple of pills in his mouth. Roy watches the man drink the water in his mouth and then spit it out immediately, almost choking on it as he continues to look for the proper medication. After gulping two pills down he sets the empty bottle aside, and then picks another one up and pops it into his mouth. “Here, take this one,” he says as he hands Roy the bottle, then moves to pick him up brida

Roy could hear whispers then he opens his eyes to find himself being pulled across the hallway toward the exit that shone a bright light on his face. His body is hanging loosely from the straps of a chair. He groans slightly as he feels every movement his body makes as he is dragged across the smooth surface of the floor. He tries opening his eyes again, but he sees nothing except darkness for miles and miles. Then something hits him across the face hard. Pain shoots through his right cheek, making him close his eyes again. Then another blow. And another. Then something slams him on the back. “What kind of father do you think the general is? wanting his son dead” he could hear someone talking outHe’s thrown across the floor outside, as the got searching sun burnt through his eyes. later he hears the door close far from him, then he could hear footsteps coming closer to him.

Back to Reality
Roy wakes up to find himself floating by the side of the river all drained and wet with some glass pierced right into his stomach. His whole body feels like it’s on fire, from the waist down. The pain radiates throughout his entire body, not just his abdomen but his entire arm and leg are covered in blood. He tries to move his hand, but he can barely budge at all. A dull ache pulses through his head as well. As he stares into the dark water he notices the faint glow coming off of its surface of it, the reflection of moonlight against the dark green water. The air around him is still. Roy can hear nothing except for the sounds of his shallow breathing. Then there’s a movement out of the corner of his eye. Roy turns his head sharply as he hears footsteps approaching him. The sound doesn’t seem very loud though. Maybe they are underwater?The figure emerges out of the shadows. “What the hell happened?” says a familiar voice. That’s the guy who found him. It’s gotta be a trick of his min

When they start to get hungry, they decide to grab some lunch, deciding to eat in the cafeteria since it is the most popular place to go for lunch. They find a table outside and sit down to eat their lunch.“Have you ever been to the library before?” Trisha asks after eating.“No” Roy admits. He has always liked learning new things about other countries but there were some subjects that his father wouldn’t allow him to study. He was allowed to read historical novels about various countries, but nothing more.“I think I’d like to visit someday soon” Trisha admits “Perhaps after the festival is over”“That sounds great. Are you planning on coming here tomorrow?” Roy inquires hopefully“Maybe” Trisha responds quietly. Suddenly, Roy feels her tighten her grip on his hand. The sight causes him to turn to face her, noticing that her cheeks are bright pink.“Trisha” he says worriedly as he reaches out towards her “Is everything alright?”“Yes,” she says hurriedly “I mean yes I’m fine I’m ju

A new beginning 2
The next morning Roy wakes up from bed feeling normal, strong, and healthy. He walks out of the tent only to see several soldiers and officers walking around the area. They were dressed in uniforms, and all seemed very busy.Roy notices a woman standing near the tent. She is talking animatedly to someone who is standing behind a wooden bench. As he gets closer he recognizes the woman. She’s wearing a blue dress, and she’s chatting away with one of the guards in Arabic, both of them laughing together while pointing to something in their hands. One of the guards places a hand on the woman’s hip, and they share another laugh while leaning into each other's embrace and resting against each other for a short moment, which ends in them embracing fully. Roy looks at them for a second before turning back towards his destination. He spots the boy that he had spoken to earlier lying on the ground, still sound asleep, with a bunch of toy sheep laying nearby.The boy suddenly opens his eyes and s
