2022-07-05 22:49:19The world isn't what it used to be, the happiness, joy, and optimism that had once filled every corner of the earth are long gone, and the people no longer live as they did before.
It's a different day.
A new era. A new era where the dead roam and blood flow with souls all trapped inside the darkness of the world, it's a new era where the dead only rule, a new beginning where everything is ruled by death only
They call this ‘Death Age’, but many people prefer the term “Dead Era”.A car drove into the scene into the lonely, quiet street covered in blood. As it parked beside the traffic pole. The car was covered in blood and broken glass, and there were bullet holes littered throughout the entire vehicle.
A bearded man alighted from the car with a gun in his hostler tied around his lap, as he unzipped peeing on the pole. “You know what's great about a zombie Apocalypse?” he started as he zipped up his pants, “You get to kill everyone you hate without them knowing who did it or why they're dead!” the bearded man laughed, he picked up the gun and threw it down the road. He walked towards the front door of an apartment but paused for a moment. As he watched the sunset, “BALI!, get into the car now...we know it is extremely dangerous to roam at night ”
The whole floor started to tremble as crowds of Zombies started to run in their directions, their eyes glowed with hunger and thirst.
"Hurry!"
"Get in the car!"
"Go! GO!!!"
Immediately the car engine roared as it sped down the road and out of sight leaving bloody footprints behind it
"This car has been modified," Bali said proudly as he looked over his shoulder. It was black, almost metallic, and had two bullet holes and some wires running through its body. A few pieces of paper had come from the roof.
Immediately a heavy force collided with the car causing the metal to shake violently.
"What the fuck?" Bali cursed as he tried to pull the steering wheel but failed due to the strong force knocking the vehicle to the left.
A group of zombies came running into view, Bali watched a zombie come close to him as a gunshot was heard with a bullet piercing through its skull. The zombie fell dead, and another bullet was shot busting into another zombie's brain. Immediately a man tied a rope around his waist jumping from the roof to the ground.He pulled his arm back pulling a knife from his belt. As soon as he was close enough, he plunged his knife into the back of the first zombie-killing it quickly. As if they were made of butter Bali watched the man move through the crowd and kill a Zombie after a couple of seconds.
Bali turned around and saw the man standing still.
"Did we lose them?"
Bali nodded his head.
"Good."
Suddenly a loud sound of thunder shook the whole city.
"Well, that's the cue to get back into the car."
Bali nodded his head and opened the car door, he got in just as the rain began to pour pouring onto the windshield. Once he shut the door, the man got in the driver's seat and drove the car down the street as fast as he could.The rain poured relentlessly as he continued driving king everything look like a horror movie. Bali looked at the man sitting across the console from him. He was very tall and muscular, the man's beard reached his chest, and his brown hair had grey streaks through it. He seemed like he was well respected, and Bali was slightly jealous of him.
The man turned to face him giving Bali a small smile. His lips were chapped and cracked.
“What’s your name?” the man asked breaking the silence between the two.
“Bali…” the man nodded his head taking in Bali’s appearance as if trying to remember something.
“Where do you work?” he questioned, but before he could even answer the man’s question, the rain had begun again pounding against the window. They both held up their guns as the car was suddenly hit by another violent gust of wind, sending the car flying forward. The man was thrown forwards from the sudden movement.
Both men grabbed the safety bars holding their seats up. Bali glanced at the other side and noticed a zombie hanging precariously from one of the rails above the roof. Its feet were dangling over the edge, its hands grasping desperately for purchase. Bali took out his pistol and aimed at the zombie. Without hesitation, he fired, blasting the zombie’s head off. The corpse fell screaming down the building as it slowly tumbled to the ground below. Bali turned to see the man looking at him confidently and with a smile.

“Nice...now let's get somewhere safe before zombies feed on our brains .”As the car came to a screeching stop, the three occupants leaped out and quickly ran to the house.Once inside the house, the man checked around and sighed in relief. There were no signs of undead activity and no blood stains on the floors. It was as if nothing even happened during the apocalypse."Do you have food?" the man asked while checking the fridge."There should be more in the cupboard."He grabbed a box of granola."Anything else?""Just the cereal and milk in here."Bali took a seat at the table and watched the strange man. He seemed so relaxed compared to the way he treated Bali before they entered the house. It reminded him of home…well, not home in that sense, but somewhere he knew from memories and things.Bali remembered a time when his father would bring home a box of cereal, milk, and some eggs each morning.

"Coming," he mumbled as he walked up the stairs."Are you ready?" the stranger asked excitedly."Yeah, whatever," Levi replied tiredly. The younger man glanced back at Bali, noticing the dark circles under his eyes, "You look tired," he commented.‘Well maybe if you weren’t a complete bastard for not allowing me to sleep…’ Bali thought glaring back at him.The pair headed out, stopping by the front of Levi’s truck. The stranger brought out a giant chest from the truck . When he opened it, he grabbed two AKs and a box full of grenades, “Take any gun, because we are going to need it” he said passing both shotguns to Levi. “Also grab some ammo.”Levi took all the weapons handing a few pistols to Bali who nodded in reply

Immediately a loud footstep echoed around the streets, leaving everyone speechless. “What is that?” Bali asked looking as the footsteps came closer.“Probably not our friends,” the stranger said calmly as he looked at Bali, his hand coming down to grip the revolver he wore strapped underneath his shirt.“Maybe those are infected,” Levi said, looking around the room with apprehension,“Let’s hope so,” the stranger said reaching for the gun under his shirt, but Bali smacked his hand away.“Don’t touch it,” Bali whispered fiercely.“If they are infected,” the stranger argued, “Then we’re screwed, we won’t be able to protect ourselves. If they attack us, we could die”“You can’t tell me you aren’t afraid!” Bali countered, glaring at the man.“Of course I am,” the stranger said, looking down at his hands. “If I have learned one thing, it’s that fear gets you nothing”Bali narrowed his eyes as he stood up from his seat, “Well it sure would give your enemies something to fight for. Why can

The stranger opened his eyes to see himself laying on the bed in a hotel, with Levi and Bali sitting beside him as they talked quietly, though his hearing wasn't working as well as before.“Hey, you're awake! How do you feel?” Bali asked, concern clear in his voice?“I... think, I'll live,” the stranger replied with a smile, reaching for the glass of water beside him and sipping from it.His friends smiled, relief clear in their faces as Bali spoke, “That's great”Suddenly he gasped, his vision blurred as he tried to focus. The world spun around him before going dark again.Once the room had regained its stillness a sudden noise interrupted the peace. Bali jumped from his seat, staring wide-eyed.“Is the door locked?”“I think so?” Bali replied uncertainly.The stranger frowned deeply before getting up and heading over to the window, pressing his ear against it. Bali watched in confusion as the stranger pushed the window open. He looked outside, trying to figure out what the noises we

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

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.

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.
