We are not infected!""Right." the rude man says before looking at Eric, who looks sane but in a trance. And the rude man's attention goes to Ivan, who has his arm bandaged. "Show us your arms."I become impatient. This guy is just too much!A soldier walks to Ivan and removes the bandages forcefully, then reveals his fresh marks on the arms."Were

How could you get bitten like that at the very end?? We were just a second away from being free from the virus, but you decided to let a zombie bite you! Are you crazy or something? Idiot.

No medicine cures what happiness cannot-Gabriel García Márquez~.~When I walk inside, Ivan is sitting on the floor, packing his bags. He looks up when he hears the sound of footsteps. His eyes widen when he sees me, and he gets up instantly. The next thing I know, I get engulfed in a warm hug, and I hug back with tears trying to escape my eyes.It was my first time seeing him after months of absence."Shit. I missed you so much." he nuzzles his nose in my neck and kisses me there. I melt at the closure and breathe in his shampoo scent. That hug makes me feel a bit better."Let's go home," I say.He softly laughs at my words, drawing back and looking into my eyes."I never thought, after everything, there'd be a home waiting for me," he says."I am your home, and you are mine.""Thank you."I smile at his words.Ivan picks up his belongings, and I help him with one."What are all these?"

Happiness is only real when shared -Anonymous ~.~ "Eric only has one last shot of vaccine left. His state will normalize after that." Luke says on the phone. "Okay. When can I visit him?" I ask. "In two weeks will be fine. He reminded me of you. It's too bad you can't meet him. Anyway, he liked the gift you sent." he says. "Aww. Tell him that I love him. And... What is your plan after this? Can he resume his work in the Marine Corps? What about his future?" I ask. "Surely. He'll be able to work as before. But it will take some time. As he's like this due to the mission, the military is under obligation to look after him till the end. So you don't have to worry about his safety and well-being," he says. The conversation ends after a few words, and I sigh in relief. I keep my phone aside and walk toward the sliding window. The clouds huddle in front of the sun, making the sky look gloomier. I watch through the window with a cup of coffee in my hands to keep my hands warm. The we
Ps. You Are My Happiness 1. The Dawn of the Undead
Happiness is the greatest form of success-Anonymous~.~It all started when a neurotropic virus similar to rabies spread in the capital of the country, Cargo. The cause of the infection was never discovered as the virus spread through the country at a speed that even a lockdown or martial law couldn't control it.The ones who didn't get infected by the virus ran away to other countries. Refugees were collected in those countries, but everyone was careful not to take them in without isolation. So the isolation processes began.All the borders that separated Cargo got closed off forever. After a few months, once the refugees from Cargo got tested negative for the virus, my country, Ocasta, decided it was time to send a volunteer team to Cargo in search of survivors. It sounded insane in everyone's ears, but a set of volunteers, including myself, came to the Military Headquarters within a week."The virus is similar to rabies, and it travels via central nerves and finally affects the br
Ps. You Are My Happiness 2. A Beacon of Hope
Happiness depends on ourselves -Aristotle ~.~ I hold out my rifle and shoot at whoever's coming at us. Their heads blow, shoulders break, and they fall on the ground at the impact of the bullets. Eric imitates me and shoots in all directions. But we are outnumbered by hundreds, and even the fallen ones rise to their legs right in front of us. We step back while shooting at the people. And suddenly, we hear the roaring of a vehicle. Within a few seconds, in front of our eyes, a vehicle smashes over the infected ones and stops in front of us. Its door flings open in front of me. "Get in!" someone shouts from inside. Without giving another thought, I get into the vehicle while shooting at the infected ones who are still coming after us. Eric gets behind me, and we close the door. The pounding in my heart drops as the door closes, putting a barrier between the walking dead and us. After calming down, only I look around the vehicle. The inside of the vehicle is too dark to see anyth

27. Escaping The Hellhole
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier -Mother Theresa ~.~ (The Day) Each one of us prepared a backpack for the short journey. I had mine filled with some samples we found in the laboratory, and Ivan has his one filled with those as well. Others have gadgets to lure the zombies away. And last but not least, Eric and I have the smoke signal guns safely tucked in our pockets. It's early in the morning, and we decided not to choose night because of the smoke signals. At night no one would notice the smoke signal at all. That makes it even more difficult as zombies see well during daylight. We put on our bags and leave for the vehicle. As we discussed last night, we are going to enter the deadliest part of the city, which has the most number of zombies than other areas. I can remember the last time I was there. It was swarming with zombies. Sasha made a sketch of the area and drew out a plan on how we could travel by vehicle for a mile or two and get

“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” -Abraham Lincoln ~.~ When night comes, everyone goes to sleep. I get up from the floor mattress and go to Ivan's room. I don't know why. But my feet take me there. I walk over to his bed and look at his peaceful sleeping face. "It's a bit creepy to watch someone sleep," he says without opening his eyes. "Tsk. And too creepy to pretend sleep." "I was actually sleeping. I am a light sleeper." "Damn. I can't imagine how you sleep." "What are you doing here? Missed me?" he asks. "Not really." "Says the guy who kissed me twice in my sleep-" I quickly cover his mouth with my hand. "Stop using that against me." I hiss. He holds my hand and pulls me toward him with a smirk. I fall on top of him, and when I try to get away, he puts his arm around my waist. "Why don't you sleep here tonight?" he suggests. "Really? Wouldn't it be awkward?" I ask. "I am going to sleep next to you once we escape this country anyway
