. A moaning sound hit my ear, jolting me from whatever I was thinking about. "Shit!" I shout before raising my gun to shoot the zombie who's just some inches away from me.

TGV 12 I slam the door behind me as soon as Ben rush in. After making sure the door is lock, I turn to ben who's laying on the bed. His hand is wrap with a piece of clothing, with sweat all over his face as he turns to me. "Ji-li, you are alive." he says as I sit beside him while Becky hands a cup of water to him. My first name is actually Ji-li but people from the east prefers to call me by my surname Xiao, mostly because Chinese surname comes before the first name, Xiao Ji-Li, that's my name. "Your hand, it's wounded" Becky says as she collect the emptied cup from him. He seems to be very tasty judging from the way he gulps the whole content at once. "What happening?" I ask, hoping to get an answer. "I don't really know, it's hard to explain," he says. "What about the others?" Becky asks but Ben remains silent for a while. "They are all dead" he finally manages to speak.Becky gasp. "How?" She ask with her eyes widened and her hands on her mouth.Ben sits up then he continu

The blaring sounds of the rock music from the speakers began to bore me. I wondered why everyone is so excited about such disturbing noise. The twitching bulbs and the dark room makes it diffcult for me to shove my way past the hippy crowd, I almost reach the exit when she stands in front of me. "Look who's leaving the party" she says. If not for Becky who convinced me on before that day I wouldn't be in such a rowdy place. "I have to get back to my room" I said as I tried to move past her. "Come on, the party just started" she said. "You know I don't do this, and besides I have-" She quickly sipped her drink and throw it aside. "You don't have any excuses, you have run out of excuses." She moved closer to me, placing both hands on my shoulders. "We are done with school bullshit, now we have to celebrate, tonight is our night, let's celebrate." Becky pulled me to the crowd and she began to dance as usual but this wasn't my thing. At the university I have always been an hermi

Chapter ten - The Departure.A root tip me again, but Mel quickly pulls me before I hit the ground. We with our hearts in our mouth, the predator isn't stopping either.“Ready to jump” Mel says as we approach a small stream in front.At once, we jump and land at the other side, the predator growl fuels up my strength and will to keep running.I pull Mel's collar as she almost falls off a cliff, I guess she didn't see the signboard miles away.“Oh Jesus!” she shouts as I squeeze my fist on one side of her collar.We both stand close to the steep. The cliff is distant from the ground, with rocks at the bottom. Jumping is a wrong choice, though it's the first option that comes to my mind.“This is too deep to jump,” Mel says as she watches a piece of stone fall from the cliff.“It's either we jump or the predator kills us,” I sa

Chapter nine.We jerk away as soon as the hungry-looking creature leap from the Van.It's strange seeing an infected animal, so fierce and brutal. The four feet hairy dog with scars all over its body steps forward, its left eye is missing while the right bloodshot eyes stared at me in rage. Its teeth appear to be disorderly arranged, but looks sharp and deadly. The devilish giant Pitbull growls angrily like it's about to tear something apart, with its sticky liquid dropping from its mouth. I raise my gun slowly then it leans backwards, and slightly bending its thin legs, ready to charge.With the corner of my eyes I sight some night walkers down the dark road hurrying towards us, the earlier gunshot must have attracted them.“You take the night walkers while I take care of this beast” I say to Mel without turning to looking at her, my eyes are fixed on the zombie dog in front of me.As
