The 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 onlyThey 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 i
“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. He loved cooking and baking. It was his passion.His parents would sit in the kitch
“Wake up guys, we need to get going,” the stranger said kicking Levi as Bali stood up from the couch. Levi sat up rubbing his sore neck, while Bali walked to the stairs yawning."Come on Bali!" the stranger yelled as he waited for him to come down the stairs. "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
14 HRS, 5 MINS LEFT The truck arrived before clem city to see everywhere filled with zombies all trying to force their way through the huge tall-built wall. As the truck pulled to a stop, the others got out of the vehicle, stretching their arms and legs before starting to prepare the vehicle.Bali approached Andrew, “Are you sure we are gonna make it?” “let's pray so” Andrew replied as he helped Bali attach the fuel container to the side of the truck.“So how many have there been so far?” Bali asked curiously.“I couldn't count” replied AndrewAs if on cue a loud crash echoed through the air. Bali looked up to see one of the towers collapse. A few seconds later an earth-shattering roar was heard. “Oh, God! What does that sound like? What is happening?” Bali cried panicked?“There isn't much time to explain, follow me! We need to find shelter before the horde gets here!” Andrew yelled back. As Bali nodded and grabbed his backpack, the stranger climbed aboard the truck and s
A man dressed in military wear, as was followed by soldiers behind him. “How dare you put everyone's life in danger?” the commander said at the stranger “You talk about putting everyone's life at risk when there is a child and his father's life in danger” the stranger responded “Don't test me” the commander growled“Listen here, I don't care who or where you are from, my job here is to ensure no innocents are harmed because of you.” he paused taking a breath.The commander sighed, “Do you understand that our only concern is survival?” he asked“You mean other than surviving for your own sake,” the stranger retorted as he glanced at the other soldiers. “Arrest them all” the commander ordered the soldiers who handcuffed Jake, the stranger, Levi, Bali, and Jonathan before pulling them along with him as he led the way to the station. “We will hold them all as hostages until we figure out how to take down the monsters” he added Commander entered the base as he was wel
They were taken to a room filled with countless guns and ammo of all kinds and sizes. They all began to set up their gear, getting ready for the mission as the commander waited impatiently near the door watching them carefullyFinally, after five minutes the commander turned to face the group.“Any questions?” he asked as they all shook their heads no“Good, now let's get going. Remember your objective is to bring the antidote back to the compound and rescue everyone from being eaten alive!”As the group exited the room and went to the hallways they began to head to the exit but the commander stopped them before he left.“Hey, wait, I'll go with you,” he said as he turned to look at his crew. “Someone is going to stay to watch over these idiots and make sure they don't do anything stupid”Everyone nodded their consent as they started to walk away A chopper landed on the field, controlled by two pilots, “Here is our ride, right?” Bali asked the commander who nodded to his question
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. We never wanted to burden the other and risk losing wh
“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. Roy stands to his feet slowly to see zombies coming towards him, he noticed also he was caged with the c
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
Meanwhile, at the military camp...the soldiers were all having fun shooting the zombies meters close to them as they ran around wildly trying to kill them. Some of them are aiming for areas where the zombies weren't moving, hoping for a lucky shot at a zombie who had died due to its wounds being fatal.One soldier is standing alone in front of the group of soldiers, trying to aim with his rifle. He fires off two shots and hits a zombie, causing it to collapse and die. He aims again and fires, missing the zombie by a couple of feet this time. With a sigh, he puts the rifle onto the ground and begins to walk away when he suddenly hears a noise coming from behind him and turns around surprised.Just then a large man runs up to the soldier, grabs him roughly by the collar of his shirt, and drags him off to the tent where he throws him unceremoniously on the floor before leaving and locking the door behind him. The soldier stands up and rubs his bruised stomach. He looks up and finds a ta

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
