The Zombie Catastrophe RONNIE CHRIS
While there were people who got out of the bunker without as much as a scratch, there were still those who made it out barely alive, others who survived by hiding in the bunker, and scores more that never made it out.Among all these was one particular, special one.It was fourteen-year-old Ronnie Chris.He had been riding his bicycle on that peaceful morning, unaware that his world was about to be turned upside down when he first set eyes on the walking corpses, and although his entire body shook in fright, he still managed to cycle his way past the several that came after him. He would even have escaped if he had seen the one that stood waiting for him in front in enough time to swerve past it.He did not, only seeing it so late he crashed into it, and together, they fell in the street. He picked himself up and ran as fast as his legs would carry him, yelling for his mother to save him out of instinct as they went after him in their numbers and without stopping.Ronnie's will wanted
The Zombie Catastrophe EMPTINESS
Far away from the bunker, a military van containing two men was riding down Middlestown's deserted roads.The only word that could have been used to describe Middlestown for both Kevin Santorini and Max Johnson as they ventured out that second day was the word dead. There was an unusual silence all over, except for the sound of their vehicle’s engine as it drove down the tarmac.“Where do you think the helicopters evacuating everyone took them to?” Max asked all of a sudden, his hands gripping the steering wheel.“I can't guess. Maybe they were taken out of the town?” Kevin answered, absent-minded.“Maybe. They may also be somewhere within this town, because my best guess is that not one of us would be allowed outside so easily. We are the first town to be plagued with an incurable virus that turns us into zombies, and no one would want any of their citizens to catch it, no matter what. They would rather have us all dead.”“The Middlestown Bunker.” Kevin suddenly blurted.“Huh?” Max
The Zombie Catastrophe THE THING OUTSIDE
Deciding that they did not have so much to do except to leave the area, just in case whatever had eaten the zombie was still crawling about, they filled the radiator with some water and drove away from the point where they had stopped, only resting when the moon showed high in the sky.The next debate for Kevin and Max came over how they were to sleep inside of the van, though this was far more friendly.“You could either choose to put down the front passenger's seat and sleep in it, or leave me to lie in the back while you stay in the more uncomfortable front.” Max made his point, laughing.“No.” Kevin disagreed. “Then we put down both the driver's and the front passenger's seats and sleep in them?” “No. What if you roll over and cuddle me in your sleep?” Kevin refused with a smile on his face. “In fact, I suggest we play rock, paper, scissors to determine whose decision we are to follow.”They did, and Max won, which meant that they would put the two seats in the front down and li
The Zombie Catastrophe BY MORNING...
Not one of the two of them could sleep a wink for the rest of that night.The mouse had been horrible enough for them, and they remained quiet for the rest of the night, both dreading leaving the safety of the van, even if it was having a large slit in the roof while lying on its side. The former sleeping arrangements which a game of rock, paper, scissors, had settled now mattered less, because they were in odd, barely comfortable positions in an overturned van.They remained quiet for so long that even when the mouse had been gone for hours, they were still held under its spell, both too afraid to talk, and still yet amused that they had survived once again.Only Max mustered enough courage to speak when he saw the sky lighten up. “Kev?”“What?”“It's morning.”“I see it.”Max chuckled to himself, adjusting his body to recline better in the position of the car to free the blood trapped in his leg. “I might need a cigarette. I have to clear the image of that rat from my head.”“It wa
The Zombie Catastrophe AT THE BUNKER'S MOUTH
When Kevin brought the van to a stop after thirty minutes of driving, it was still early in the morning, the sun only hot enough to warm up Middlestown's emptiness.Max looked around in amazement, wondering where the bunker was. All along he had come expecting to see some tall, secure building, and not an old well with a wide area of damp sand around it sitting pretty while trees and shrubs stood around the edge, seemingly threatening.“Where is it?” He asked Kevin, who took out a pack of cigarettes for a smoke while sitting behind the steering wheel. “All I can see here is a well.”“There is no well.”“That thing there is Middlestown’s bunker?”“Yes. It is the bunker, and it is under the ground. I did tell you that it was an underground bunker, and you don't think that the people fighting the second world war would build anything that would stand high and welcoming if they wanted to escape fighter jets, don't you, Soldier?”“I get it now, Kev. I understand what you meant.”Kevin smil
The Zombie Catastrophe TWO AGAINST TWO
In front of Kevin and his chainsaw stood not one, but two of these zombies, the second even bigger than the first they had seen.“Hold them, Kevin.” Max yelled, before rushing out of the bunker to get to the van. His hands shook in anticipation and a malicious part of his mind suggested that he run away with the van and leave Kevin, but he shook his head, refusing to listen to that voice.He pulled the back of the van open, and there lay his intended RPG, which was thankfully multiple use. Taking a pair of earmuffs and two rounds, he loaded one in the canister, and ran forward with the other down the bunker stairs. There, he could see Kevin swinging at them with his chainsaw the way only a mad man would have, the first one reaching to grab Kevin with a rotting, slimy hand without success thanks to the Allfather's Technology, and the other one's tongue swinging about like a reptile, also trying to get a hold on Kevin. They could not touch him, but rather, were getting cuts on them fro
The Zombie Catastrophe THE NEW GIRL
It was at this point that Max remembered the boy they sent in. He managed to get to his feet and go there despite the way his body shook from the harrowing experience they had just been through, and surely enough, the lad was there, with his palms pressed against his ears and tears running down his cheeks as he lay curled up on the floor.Max was touched by the sight in that instant. He plopped to the ground near the boy and took him in his arms, holding him close. At first, their contact startled him, and he shuddered in response to this unexpected touch, but then the lad relaxed when he saw it was him.“You're fine now. They're both dead.” Max whispered. “Are you okay?”The lad nodded, but Max held on for a while.“Can you stand up, or are you okay?”Sure enough, the boy could, and then Max led him forward, only to run into Kevin, who seemed to have been coming to check on them. Kneeling before him, Kevin grabbed his arms and looked him straight in the eye, asking if he was okay.A
The Zombie Catastrophe FORCED PARENTS
Who is she?” Kevin had asked on sight of the girl, perplexed.She looked away, clearly shy, and it touched the men's hearts. Again, they exchanged glances, and this time, they were both uncertain. At first, they were just two men surviving a zombie apocalypse. Now, they were laden with two children whom they did not know what to do with, yet were hard pressed to take care of. Despite their confusion, the little girl was soon handed a coarse meal they knew she was not used to, yet she said her thank you with a smile of appreciation that warmed Kevin's heart.Max took his own meal and another beer, while Kevin got a cigar he stood smoking.“So we came to the bunker to find safety and instead, got two children.” Max noted.“They don't seem bad to me. I like the girl —”“I'm not a big fan of kids.” “Why?” “They are cute, adorable and all, but are hard to care for. They can fall sick. They often have issues, and could even be a burden if we need a quick escape with them around. Sometime
