I could not believe what I witnessed. I was like a rock that couldn't move from where I was standing. Furthermore, I could barely move my legs, as if they were buried in the ground and hardened like cement. While the people around me were screaming and running, I was still staring at a policeman who was in the form of a monster. “Let's run, what are you waiting for?” Suddenly, a policeman said to me, at the same time he pulled me by the arm and only then was I able to run away from them. I don't know what to do with those moments. My mind went blank, and I still couldn't believe what I saw. Due to the curiosity of other people and the police who had just arrived, they went to where we used to be to find out what was going on there. I want to stop them, but nothing else comes to my mind but to save myself. I stop for a moment and let go my hand of the policeman who was with me now. Furthermore, I turned back to the scene and I witnessed how the virus slowly spread all around me. S
By midnight, we all fell asleep. I was sleeping on the sofa, while the six police officers who were with me in the office were lying on the floor. It was cold inside the room, especially because of the breeze coming from outside where it was raining heavily. We still hear some shouting from outside, but we just ignore it. Until I opened my eyes when I felt something heavy from above my face. I tried to push him, but he buried the pillow in my face more and more as if he wanted to kill me. Little by little I can feel the tightness from my chest and my breathing thin, so I put my hands down for a moment to look for the gun I hid under the sofa. When I got hold of the gun, I fired it at him without hesitation, causing him to immediately fall down and remove the pillow that was over my face. I was stunned by the speed of the event. I catch my breath as I stare at the ceiling at the same time as the noise I hear from the pouring rain outside. Furthermore, I didn't expect that to happen,
I closed my eyes and was just waiting for the zombies to eat me, but suddenly, I heard a series of gunshots, so I immediately sat down and hid behind a big trash drum. I looked around and realized that there was a group of armed men carrying big guns, while their noses and mouths were covered with 3M rugged comfort respirators. Suddenly, someone came to me and helped me get out of there and away from the zombies, at the same time she handed me a face mask. Therefore, I looked up at her with a look of astonishment on my face. “Wear that because we can't kill all the zombies here.” She said, and I just nodded my head, then immediately put on the mask she gave me. Then she called her colleagues and threw smoke gas before we left and ran away. She held my hand while I followed behind her. I followed them wherever they were going until they all stopped, and then they turned to me. “I'm sorry, but you shouldn't know about our hideout.” She said at the same time she took off my mask and s
After a while, my attention turned to a man who was not far from me. His whole face was pale, and he was constantly itching all over his body, where I noticed that his skin was already injured and bleeding when he scratched. I watched him closely, but his actions seemed abnormal until he fell to the floor without anyone else noticing him except me. I looked around to see if anyone else noticed him, but they were all busy doing with something else. So, I thought of approaching him, but before I could leave my seat, his body suddenly moved as if he was being possessed. He breaks every bone in his body, and the color of his eyes changes from white. Therefore, I was more curious about what was happening to him, but I didn't approach him because I felt something bad was going to happen. Until someone noticed him and repeatedly asked him if he was okay, but he didn't answer, instead he stopped and didn't move from where he was. The man in front of him repeatedly calling him to make sure he w
(Five days before the apocalypse happens.) “Sixto!” Kaiser called me as he hurriedly ran into our cell. I was standing at the window at that moment while drinking water. “What is going on with you, Kaiser, and why do you seem so eager to see Sixto?” Peter jokingly told him. “I have good news for you, Sixto.” He said with a wide smile on his lips. I raised an eyebrow, and Peter and I exchanged glances at each other as I lowered the glass from the window. “Good news?” I said, he nodded his head at the same time. “Your case will be reopened, and you will have a new trial because the real culprit has been caught. Finally, you will be able to prove that you are innocent and that you are not really guilty.” After he said that, I was stunned and changed glances at my colleagues. Kaiser came to me and hugged me tightly as he gently caresses my back. I just smiled with tears in my eyes. I can't believe that this day will come, and I will have another chance to prove to everyone that I am
“That's enough, Sixto.” Ruana told me as she took the gun I was holding, which was pointed at Hunter's forehead. I found out that he was the real perpetrator of the crime I was accused of. He is also the reason why all my dreams were destroyed and why I ended up in this hellish place. If it wasn't for him, I might have graduated from college and am currently working in a company, or maybe Mom and I would still be together and living a happy life. I slowly lowered my hand as I turned around and hit the wall hard. Laura was behind me where she was trying to calm me down. “See? You can't kill me.” I heard Hunter snickering, so I immediately turned to him and quickly approached him while I strangled his neck while his back was leaning against the wall. “I will kill you, but not now. I will make sure that you also experience every hardship that I go through in this prison. I will make sure that your life will be a hell like what I experienced.” I whispered to him as I looked at him inten
“While we were looking for you in each cell, we encountered survivors and a man came to me asking for help to get back to where they were hiding. And this is the room he was referring to me. Because we don't have enough weapon was carrying, we failed to save them all. Many zombies were chasing us and many were injured and died. We were unable to save them one by one because they were gradually changing as a zombie. They didn't have any bites or scars on their body that could cause the virus, but some of them just fell on the floor and their eyes turned white. Until they became zombies too. We tried to save them, but they were all infected with the virus. I wonder how that happened because their bodies are in such good condition, and they don't seem to have any injuries from the zombies.” Kaiser told us what happen to them, while Ruana and I listened to him silently. “Are you saying they became zombies without contact with zombies?” Juana asked him curiously, while Kaiser nodded his he
We left that room with Hunter. I have no other choice but to accompany him in our escape. But I can't let him get out of this place alive. By the time we get out of here, I will kill him. I'll use him for now, but then I'll kill him without anyone else knowing. We take every step carefully and feel our surroundings. The silence there was eerie, and it seemed as if a zombie would suddenly appear in front of us. Ruana was leading the way because they were the only ones carrying weapons, while Zero and Laura were in front of me holding hands. And Hunter was right behind me, clinging to the sleeve of my t-shirt. We just walked slowly with our backs against the wall. When Ruana suddenly raised her right fist, they stopped walking together. I was curious and looked around us. Until we heard rustling sounds that seemed to be getting louder and closer to where we were. “Aren't those zombies?” Hunter whispered to me, but I didn't answer him, but instead I removed his hand that was holding
