2024-10-29 19:42:56"We'll be extracting the DNA from a sea star. Why? Because a sea star have the ability to regenerate itself due to their unique gene. I think this will be a better way to save human lives." Ms Susan spoke standing at one end of the table.
"Are you saying that we're going to inject human with a sea star DNA?" Asked a male scientist who sat at the right side of the table.The room was not that large nor small. It was a small confined room where only few scientific things could be seen and a rectangular table in the middle. It also had a glass wall."Yes. You're correct." She added."So what is the reason behind your new experiment Ms Susan?""Well... like she had explained few minutes ago, a sea star have a unique gene in their body, and that's gene sox2 which we all know about." Mr Louis butted in as he also stood up to explain. "I'm pretty sure the reason behind her new experiment is to help save thousands of adults and children that might have lost one of their body parts, like my nephew, William. This new search is to help them get back their lost arms, or legs or any other part of their body.""So you think using an asterias rubens is the best option?" Asked the man with glasses and grey hair sitting at the other end of the table."Yes sir." Susan nodded."I overheard you and Mr Louis over here are in charge of this new experiment. How true is the information?""True sir.""May I know how far this new search of yours have gone and the results?""In our third experiment using a mice, we are happy to inform you all that the result using a sea star DNA, was positive." Mr Louis spoke.Everyone jammed their hands. They were impressed hearing such news."Ms Susan, Mr Louis, we're impressed and happy about your new experiment." A woman at the left side spoke.Susan and Louis bowed their heads slightly as a gesture of thank you."I see..." The man continued. "You've tested it on a mice and the results was positive. Have you tried using a human?""Sir, we're currently on that." Ms Susan spoke."Your experiment will only be approved once it's proven out to be positive in the human body.""We know that sir." Louis spoke. "We want you all to come along with us to the test lab.""You've seen a human subject already?""Yes sir." Susan and Louis jinxed.The man went quiet for a while, resting his arm on the chair handle, contemplating about something. His eyes darted from Susan to Louis severally before speaking."Okay." He agreed and a smile lit on everyone's face.The rest stood up after he had, and they all walked out of the room.•••"Uncle Louis..." His nephew called out the moment he saw him walking to his direction with his fellow scientists."Hey son." Squatting down and giving their signature handshake. "See you and Junior are having some time.""Yes uncle. Are you going in for your new experiment now.""Yes son. I want you to stay here with Junior. We'll be back shortly.""Uncle Louis.. you asked me earlier today what I want as a birthday gift.""You know what you want now?""Yes. I want to be the first human to try out your new experiment with Ms Susan."He heaved a sigh and dabbed his head. "Son, I'm sorry but I can't get you that as a birthday gift. It's impossible.""But I want to start walking as soon as possible.""You will son. You just have to wait a bit longer.""No. I can't wait anymore. I want to start walking again as soon as possible." He protested."Son...""Please Ms Susan." Diverting his gaze to her. "I want this as a birthday gift. Please..." He begged with cute puppy eyes.The scientists turned their gaze to the man in the middle. Seeing where there heads were turned to, William's eyes got fixed on him."Please sir. I'm... I'm even a perfect candidate for this new experiment. Please sir. If you grant me this as a birthday gift, you'll make me the most happiest person. Please sir.... ""Please sir... "Junior piped in. "Grant him this as a birthday gift. You'll also make me happy." His tone was so pleading.The man heaved a sigh and still remained quiet. "Are you sure you want this William?"He nodded, not hesitating a bit. "Yes sir.""Have you thought this through.""Yes sir. I have, a million times.""There's no going back if you really want to proceed with this.""Yes sir. I know.""Mr Louis... are you sure you want to let him push through with this?"He heaved a sigh. "If it'll make him happy, I'm cool with it." Not turning his gaze from his nephew.A heavy silence circulated amongst them. They were eagerly waiting for the man's final response, while William wore an anxious look."William, if this is what you want and if it'll also make you happy, you can proceed with it."Everyone's lips curved up."Thank you sir." Said the happy William."William... you hear that. Any moment from now, you'll get your legs back and we'll play all sort of games together." Junior spoke with a wide smile on his face."Yes J. I can't wait. We'll also do skating."The two of them laughed. The happy look on the children's face made everyone to even smile more.

"I think we should proceed now." The man spoke."J., it's time to say goodbye to William." His mom spoke.J hugged William. "Goodbye William. Wish you all the best.""Thank you bro." He said patting his back."It's time to go son. And J, make sure you stay right here till mummy comes back. Is that clear?""Okay uncle Louis. You can do this Will." Trying to cheer him up.He nodded and Louis rolled him away, while the rest scientist followed behind.•••"You're sure you want to do this boy?" Asked William's partner who was together with him in the test lab. The both of them will be the human subject.Unlike William, his partner's hands were absent. Just like William's story, he was also involved in an accident. His only means of surviving, was to get his hands amputated. Ever since then, he had been walking with a mannequin's hand.William's lips wried up. "Never been so sure about anything all my life. You?""Same here."

William turned to face him looking all dead and scary. "Junior.... Junior.... Junior....." She called out looking for her son in the crowd. "Junior....." She screamed seeing William chasing her son."Mummy...." He called out in a high tone running back to his mom while the scared looking William kept chasing him."Junior...." She screamed also running back to her son."Mummy.....""Junior...." She screamed looking really terrified as William had already bitten her son. "Junior...." She screamed and pushed William away. She fell on her knees and tears started dripping down from her eyes. "Baby...." Scooping him in her hands. The world had screeched to a halt for her in midst of all the chaos going on. People screaming, running and more were getting bitten but it was as though she had gone deaf to all these things.She shook her son noticing how is body was changing. "J....." Crying and shaking him.

He knelt down at the bedside."Lee my grandchild." Touching his face with his old wrinkle and shaky hand."How is he doctor?" Lee asked the doctor who was standing behind him, not tearing his gaze from his grandpa."His body has become really weak now. All the medicines we've been giving him, none seem to be working anymore. His immune system has gone really weak and his body is deteriorating fast."He turned to the doctor. "Please do all you can to save him. He's the only family I have left." He pleaded in a teary voice."Mr Lee, we're doing everything possible we can, but his body keeps rejecting all the treatments we've been giving him."Turning back to his grandpa.

Zombies Territory: A place of no return The Big News
In a place so big like that of a warehouse, he sat on his office chair, moving his seats side to side with a cigarette in his hand. His men stood looking at him with so much curiosity cloaked on them, on why he ordered them to his office the moment he stepped in. He placed his legs on the table still moving his chair and inhaling and exhaling his cigarette. His head rested on the chair."Who wants to be filthy rich?" He asked after a moment of silence.Smile slapped on their faces. They knew if their boss speaks in such manner, then something huge was coming. "We all want to boss and you know that." His right hand man spoke.He was an average looking man putting on singlet showing his pirate tattoo on his left arm.Everyone nodded in an agreement as they smiled at each other. He tapped his finger on the arm of the chair, creating light sounds as his eyes walked on each of them present there."Do you want to know what our next mission will be?" He asked with a wry smile on his lips."
Zombies Territory: A place of no return The Plan
"Boss...." A man called from the door.He was a bit old and wretched. His tooth seemed to be missing. His hair was also slight grey and his skin, so dull. He was part of the slaves they stored in the warehouse. But unlike any other slaves, he was free to move around because he did most dirty jobs for them and he's the master mind in executing most of their successful missions. Lee liked him for that. Though he was not part of Lee's men yet, he had always wanted to be among them one day. He's more than ready to do anything to win Lee's trust.Lee just gave a blank but angry look, and he stepped in smiling. "Boss, you shouldn't think too much about getting your golds." Lee's eyes cloaked in extreme anger as he said that."No boss. I didn't mean it that way. You see boss, they might be scared to go in there, but I have a plan for you."His face suddenly straightened. He knew his plans were always a mind blowing one. This man had never come up with a plan that had failed."What plan?" He
Zombies Territory: A place of no return The Slaves
His men had gathered all the slaves together. The slaves were kept in the warehouse. They were used for different purposes. He sold them to different people around the world. The buyers either use them for prostitution, or they have to work their ass off in any place they were assigned to. Some of the buyers even prefer using them for farm work even if they were modern facilities available. They feel the modern facilities are more expensive. You have to treat a machine like you're nursing a baby. How tiring and money wasting. The slaves were mixed with both males and females, old and young. Some of them were brought in there for failing to pay their debt to Lee when the due time collapsed. Their skins looked pale and some of them suffered from dehydration and malnutrition. But to Lee, he's doing his best to keep them kicking. No buyers will want to buy a half looking dead person.Sometimes, Lee and his men forcefully take the women they want to spend their night with. They rape every

They were all eagerly waiting for him to speak. He didn't say anything but his eyes kept walking on them as he looked above them. The look he gave was blank so they could barely read what it was that was going on in his head. But they know it was something bad as Lee had never given them a good news.The warehouse was quiet as a grave yard. All of them waiting for the skinny man with tinted red hair and a dragon tattoo on his right arm to speak."You all have been through a lot." He paused and continued. "I think it is high time I let you go."They faced their neighbors by their sides looking really confused as to what he was saying."I have decided to give you guys the freedom you deserve as human beings." Utter confusion plastered on their faces."What is he saying?" They murmured."Silence....." Spoke his new right hand man from the top of his voice as he ordered them to zip their mouths."Don't you want to go back home to your family, to your loved ones?" He continued speaking aft

The expression slashed on their faces was limpid that they had changed their minds. Lee sauntered down the stairs towards them. His smile really bitter. He had hoped for them to go bring back his golds. It was their freedom after all and he had thought they'd do anything just to be set free. He heaved out a frustrating sigh. Is this it? He understood the reason for their fear but who won't do anything just to be set free, plus, he's also offering an amount for who ever gets his golds. He needed them badly. If they were not ready to do this, then who in the world would. A bitter and wicked wry tucked his lips."Why change your mind now uhn?" He barked out in frustration. "You were all really happy few seconds ago, so why do you have a scared kitten's look on your face. Why?" He continued barking in anger and frustration. "Don't you want freedom.. I'm finally setting you free and you're backing out? Why? Because of those brainless walking dead? Do it and get your freedom. I'm also ready

"What uh? Does it hurt to know the truth about being blind. I'm mad, but I can see clearer than you do.""Shut the fuck up, you asshole." She spat and cocked her gun.Their eyes flew wide open as soon as they realized what she had just done. They froze for a second, their hearts thumping wildly in their chests. They threw a glance at each other, knowing it was the end for them. No. Not for Binna.The two of them started running up the stairs. They could hear them coming in their direction. This time, for sure, they'll be crucified.They halted their steps at the sound of fireworks exploding from outside. Their brows crunched, and they could hear the zombies averting their attention and running speedily to the place where the sound was made.Another set of fireworks played again, and shortly after, the building became quiet. But they first stood there for a minute to make sure everything was clear. When it was, they tiptoed to peek to see if it was indeed clear. It was, and they separa

When she noticed that the zombies were now on the move, she quickly threw the matchet to her targeted place, where it hit the metal, and hid herself back. As the metal and the matchet collided to create the sound she was looking for, the zombies immediately diverted their attention from Kenji to where the sudden, sharp sound was created. Kenji, on the other hand, did not bother wasting a single second in forcefully pushing the door as soon as she threw away the matchet.Binna quickly crawled and went to where Kenji was. "You alright?" Kenji asked as he successfully shut the door.She leaned her back against the wall, trying to get a breather. That was one hell of a move, but she couldn't say it. She just gave him a thumbs up, indicating that she's alright."What next? Those zombies are probably hovering around the exit of the building. So what now? You got any plans?"She straightened up and glared at him. "We'll still push through with this. We have nothing to lose, especially now t

A Move
"Be careful out there, you both." "You too." Binna spoke and nodded her head. The two of them turned their backs on him, ready to leave the room.Kenji used the matchet while Binna took the gun she had loaded with bullets earlier. This is one hell of a sacrifice.Slowly, they opened the door slightly and peered right outside. Seeing that the entrance was clear, she slowly and carefully opened the door more to create more space for them to step out. Kenji peeped again, both left and right, and signaled to her that the road was clear. While prayers were chanting in their hearts, they took a step out of the door and shut it. Binna and Kenji removed their shoes to avoid creating clicking sounds with them on the tile. Their hands tightened on the tools they were both carrying. The building, at the moment, is extremely quiet. Eery quiet. The zombies who were creating lots of chaos earlier by running helter-skelter in the mall looking for their prey were now quiet. But Binna and Kenji kept

Sacrifice
Justin, Binna, and Kenji hid in one room. Everyone's heart increased in beat. Sweat was dripping non-stop from their bodies, and prayers were chanting continuously in their hearts not to get caught by the zombies. They could hear the zombies' snarling, and it was getting louder, which means they were getting closer to where they hid. Their breathing ceased as they heard one of them passing by their door. Their throats worked up and down, and their sweat flooded their entire bodies. Their bodies jerked up in fear, and their heartbeat fastened more as one of them hit their door while they were still running. Their hearts finally relaxed a little afterwards."Where is Jennine?" Justin asked Binna in a whisper."She's with Kate and Eli." I'm pretty sure she's fine. She also whispered.He just nodded his head and slid to the ground carefully because of his injured leg. When will this end? They've done enough marathon racing today. Justin's leg began bleeding again, and Binna quickly used a

Fucked Mess
Smith just sat on the ground, leaning his back on the wall. Justin's eyes went furious the moment he saw Smith. Everything he did earlier came flooding back to his mind. He walked angrily to him and caught Smith up by the collar, grasping his collar tight with one hand. He shook him violently, and a punch landed on his face. Argh! He had been wanting to do that for ages now."What did you think you did out there, you asshole?" He barked at him angrily and landed another punch on him. "Because of you.... Just because of your fucked up brain, Nathaniel got bitten and is no longer with us." He landed another blow on his face, and Smith fell to the ground."Take me back to Lee. I don't want to turn into a zombie. Take me back." He cried out.Before Justin could do any further damage, Alain grabbed Smith's collar and punched him twice in the face. Smith started bleeding, because his punches were heavier than Justin's. Alain's punch consists of pain and anger residing in him after he has los

"We're right outside." Kate spoke over the walkie-talkie."Roger that," Justin replied.Justin and Kim walked out of the building. Since their road was clear after they had peeked, they walked out of the building. Kate used the car's flashlight to signal to them that she was in the car."Where're the rest?" Kate spoke as they shut the door."I think we have to wait a bit for them. We got separated." Justin spoke.She nodded and started making light noises with her finger on the steering wheel as they continued waiting patiently for them."Binna...? Where is she?" Kim asked after the long silence that reigned in the car."Binna and Kenji are in the ice-cream truck. But don't worry, they'll be fine. They had a plan, and I think it's going great.""And the rest?""They're in a safe place. Jennine too." She spoke to him while looking at him through the mirror.He nodded. There was no need to worry about Binna. He knows very well that she is a very courageous woman.It was now dark and the

Alain, on the other hand, socked himself in the soft bed as he thought about Nathaniel. He just could not believe that Nathaniel was no longer with them. He must have turned into a zombie by now. As he remained motionless, tears threatened to fall from his eyes.He shut his eyes and immediately opened them upon hearing the sound of an ice-cream song. The sound was still light because it was coming from afar, but he knew from how it sounded that it was connected to a speaker or something like that. Thus, the zombies banging on his door have not heard it. He quickly got on his feet in search of a way out. He could not jump from the window. He'll definitely die from the distance to the ground. He also tried looking for a way through the ceiling, but it was still impossible. There was no f*****g way out of the room. He looked at the door where the zombies continued banging heavily on it, and he could only swallow. If those zombies continue banging on that door more, there is a possibility

The Letter
Smith had continually peed on his body - not knowing how or when - because of the thudding of the marauding zombies that kept banging fiercely on the door endlessly. After his breathing has finally vapoured out clearly, a dark miasma filled his nose. He wondered where that solid stench was coming from.The room he entered was a small and tight confined room, with a little window peeking a little sunlight to the room.He searched everywhere and there was no sign of where the smell was coming from. His eyes then caught a rectangular ancient box that was slightly opened. Just by its size, he knew the box was big enough to contain a full human in it.Adjusting his glasses and sweats raining down his whole body, he took small trembling steps to the place where the large box laid. The smell became stronger as he got closer to the box. Still, he endured every smell and now stood before the box. His only prayer was that what it was he was thinking in his mind should not be what it is. It must

Alain took the next jump after Kim did, only for him to loose balance and fell on the ground. He groaned in pain cause of his twisted ankle. But that didn't stop him. He got back up on his feet and continued running. The zombies that fell off as they tried jumping to the other building, got back up on their feet and started chasing Alain. Alain ran as though his right leg wasn't bad anymore."Find a building Alain." Justin spoke from the top of his voice on the rooftop as he kept on running. His eyes was also on Alain as he continued running on the roof. "Alain....." He screamed his name as one almost got on Alain.Alain was quick and took the right, causing the zombie that was about pouncing on him to fall on the ground. Almost immediately, he barged on a door and strictly locked the door from inside. The double doors were not strong enough to hold the zombies that had begun banging on the door. He just realized that he was now in an hotel and he quickly ran to the elevator. He pushe
