The silence that filled the air sent shivers through the spines of everyone there, including Phillips Circle who could not believe what they had just seen.Perhaps not Christopher but Andrew and Dina were visibly shocked. Their eyes widened in shock and mouths dropped at the sight of Phillip, their Phillip had just murdered someone in front of them.Yes, he was evil, yes he was a menace and yes he was working for the enemy but Philip ended his life without so much as a second thought. The smile he had after was eerie as well, this was a new side they never expected to see.Killing infected when necessary and incapacitating people, that was what they knew him to be capable of. This however was beyond what they had expected.“Everyone, attack!!” Kiara said after suddenly being brought back to reality after seeing Xavier’s body drop to the ground. “Andrew, Chris, get to cover!” Phillip said as he disappeared from their sight. All of a sudden all they could see was the body of guards bei
“Now that your plan has failed, what do you plan to do next?” Kaiser asked as Kiara held Dina by the hair, a whimper left her taped lips as it was obviously painful.“Did you really think it would be that easy? That you would simply take her and trot out of here?” He asked with his smile becoming more menacing than before. By this time, Phillip had ended the pretence and stalling and simply eliminated the remaining guards, stopping beside Chris whose clothes were worn from the damage from the fight.Andrew was also running up to join with the group when they were all shocked by the sight which unfolded before them. Footsteps could be heard from all around the grounds, numerous people were approaching.From the vibrations, it was far more than dozens, probably hundreds at this point as they marched towards the park. Kaiser began walking down the stairs, everyone stood in place, even Phillip was rooted as they saw the group standing behind him. If they were normal soldiers, he could
Christopher was faced with a terrifying sight, a grotesque giant monster in the store that he was was literally gnawing on another human being.His legs immediately gave out and he fell flat on his but. He began shaking uncontrollably, almost wetting himself but he kept us composure.The creature had not taken note of him yet so he quickly decided within himself that he should get away as soon as possible. He struggled and tried his very best but his legs simply would not listen to him. He succumbed to his situation and began crawling away. He kept dragging himself, hoping that the creature would still not take note of him but in his quest to escape he accidentally placed his hand on top of a plastic bottle.The sound almost seemed deafening, and now the sound of bones crushing from before had stopped. Christopher’s heart almost stopped as well as he was filled with dread.He turned around and sure enough his fears were correct. The creature had come out of the shop and was now stand
Christopher rested the remainder of the ride and eventually, they came to an abandoned office building. It was about six stories tall and in pretty rough shape. “We have arrived,” Franklin said as he turned towards an obviously tired Christopher.He raised his head up, feeling a bit dizzy, he did not know whether it was because of the near-death experience he had just experienced or because his stomach felt as if it was eating him.When he woke up and observed his surroundings earlier he was exhausted and his stomach growled but he completely forgot about it amidst the chaos that was ensuing. “Do you need any help getting off?” He asked kindly. Christopher had not been with Frank for that long but he could at least tell that he was kind and gentle. He took a closer look at him, his facial features and all.He had a chiselled jaw line with brown eyes and short black hair. He was wearing some worn-out clothes with a cross-body bag hanging around his chest.“No thank you, I’m good eno
The sight of land brought joy to Franklin as he had seen nothing but water for the better part of two weeks.The small boat that him and his fellow travelers had shared was filled with different kinds of excrement from urine to fences and the stench was unbearable.He had began the journey about a month ago where they crossed a desert before getting to a beach shore where they saw numerous boats lined up with several people as well.At first he felt unsure of continuing the journey hit when he remembered how much he had paid to be able to go on the trip he decided to keep his fears aside and embark anyways. People present there wanted to travel across the continent but did not have the resources or funds to be able to go through the regular and legal route. This led them to follow illegal smugglers who would then take them through dangerous and illegal means. He did not care though as he felt like there was nothing to live for anymore since he had lost his mother, the only person t
“What the hell is that?” One of the soldiers screamed in horror as the creature removed its tail from the bow lifeless soldiers body.The sound of gunshots filled the air as more soldiers began running in different directions as more creatures began falling out.In an instant all the immigrants who had been composed scattered in multiple directions as everyone wanted to escape from the beasts.Franklin was no different as he immediately got up and ran away, trying to put distance between himself and the ensuing chaos.He ran several feet away from the camp to where there was a warehouse that contained vehicles. His chest rose and dropped in large compressions as he was gathering himself and processing what had just happened.“Monsters, there are monsters in this country” he mumbled to himself. He never thought he would be seeing something like this. The sounds of gunshots and screams could be heard from the distance as the soldiers continued to fight the monsters. He crouched in a co
“Wow, that’s insane. So you’re not even from here, yet you just got thrown into this whole mess.” Christopher said in bewilderment.Franklin was handling this way better than he would have ever imagined. This wasn’t even his country, yet here he was. He was roughing it out much better than he who had lived there his entire life.“Well, I came here to get a better life for myself. I can not really say that is what has happened so far, but wherever I find myself I should at least try to do the best I can. If not for anything, to say thank you to the man that saved my life.” Franklin said with a cheerful smile.His ability to see the good in most situations was something that Christopher admired in the short time that they had spent together.“What about you Chris? How did you end up in this part of town when everybody had evacuated. I’ll be honest, I never imagined I would see another human for a while.” He asked as he opened a can of food for himself.“Well it who’d be understandable t
“Alright, let us do it. We can survive together” Franklin said ahain, reminding Christopher that he genuinely said it the first time with surprised Christopher.“I’m sorry, what did you just say?” He had to ask again to be sure he was not hearing things wrong.“I said I agree, we can survive this world together.” He reiterated.Chris was still in a bit of a daze, franklins friendly smile and immediate acceptance of his suggestion puzzled him. Once again, he had nothing to gain from this new partnership but here he was accepting it anyways.Within himself Christopher determined he was not going to be the reason Franklin got hurt or even worse, died.And for a good while that is what happened. They foraged together, hunted together and had each others backs through thick and thin.After spending quite some time together they created a schedule to help one another. Franklin had noticed that Christopher seemed very inclined to fighting and seemed very sturdy so he was in charge of combat,
