Killing Lies (English-Tagalog) Chapter 7: Echoes
JANE The car slowed down as we passed a line of abandoned vehicles on the side of the road. Bloodstains marred their surfaces when I peeked inside. "Maybe this isn't such a good idea. Maybe the Grove is already overrun by zombies," Caite said, her voice tinged with uncertainty. I could see the hesitation in Vino’s expressions. He was starting to doubt our plan too, but we needed to meet our friends as we had planned earlier. “Look, we should still head to the camping site,” I suggested, trying to sound more confident than I felt. “We agreed to regroup there.” Caite shifted uncomfortably in her seat. “But what if it’s too dangerous? We could be walking into a trap.” “We can’t just leave them behind,” Vino countered, his brow furrowing in thought. “We need to at least check it out.” “Fine,” Caite relented, though her tone suggested she was still uneasy. “But if it looks bad, we head straight to the District Hall for backup.” I nodded, feeling the weight of our decision. With that

I convinced them to go to our house first before meeting up with Papa. I didn’t want to risk getting infected and passing it onto others with sticky blood splattered all over my body. As we entered the gate, I noticed all the lights were off. When I stepped inside the house, I gulped and started to sweat profusely. I wasn’t used to the oppressive darkness that enveloped the space. Our helpers must have evacuated, just like the rest of our neighbors. They should have, because if not, that meant they were dead or in danger. The moment I crossed the threshold, a horrible sight greeted me: blood smeared across the walls and furniture, along with bullet holes punctuating the halls. My mind raced with possibilities; it seemed likely that after we left, an attack had occurred. I didn’t waste any time lingering on the gruesome scene. I dashed up to the second floor where my room was located. Rummaging through my closet, I grabbed two sets of loose and comfortable t-shirts and jogging pants

JANE Yesterday, something inhumane taints our blood, turning almost everyone into killers. In just a few hours, mayhem and misery claim so many innocent lives. Most of them don’t get the chance to say goodbye to their families. Some don’t even realize their entire family is also dead. The most solemn part of it all is that they die alone, without knowing the reason for their ill fate. Afterward, our healthcare providers can only cover their bodies in white cloth. An euthanization act by striking their brains prevents them from mowing down the remaining survivors of this devastation. It becomes the unspoken rule every time one of us dies, which is traumatizing since we are all cooped up here, confronted with horror all day long. Then, they transport the corpses outside the barricades. However, they can’t dig a mass grave given our current situation. Because of that, the plaza turns into a mortuary site. It’s obvious everyone can’t rest well, knowing we need to pierce the heads of ou

“You’re not listening to me,” madiin ang bawat bigkas ni Papa na nakapagbalik sa aking ulirat. Hindi na ako makapagsalita muli nang hilahin niya ako papunta sa entrance. Wala akong nagawa kung ‘di sundan ang mga yapak niya. Maingat at mabagal ang aming paglalakad kaya walang nakakapansin na tinatakas na niya ako mula sa kumpulan. Huminto siya sa paglalakad nang makarating siya sa pinakatuktok ng hagdan. Malapit na kami sa pintuan papasok ng town hall. “Hanggang dito na lang ako.” Lumingon siya sa akin at hinawakan ang dalawa kong kamay. Humakbang pa ako ng isang beses para magkapantay kami. “Hu...huwag mong kakalimutan ang bilin ko saiyo,” mahina niyang sambit. Lumambot ang ekspresyon niya at saka ako niyakap. Never have I thought I would see papa lose his stern demeanour in my entire life. I always thought nothing scares him; but now that he’s instructing me to hide with his precious journal, I know for a fact that shit was about to go down. Binitawan na niya ang kamay ko at tin

Nagsimula nang bumigat ang malalamig na patak ng tubig-ulan sa balat ko. Nanginging kong niyakap ang sarili marahil nabasa na ang kabuuan ng katawan ko. Napapikit ako ng mariin nang umalingawngaw ang dalawang putok ng baril kasabay ng pagkidlat sa kalangitan. Namamaga na ang mga mata ko sa hapdi dahil sa walang katapusang pag-agos ng luha ko ngayong araw na ito. Vino let go of my wrist. I could hear his deep and short breaths. I swallowed all my fears to face him. Dumanak ang itim na dugo sa puting t-shirt niya. Sinusubukan niyang tingnan ang likuran niya kaya gumapang ako papunta roon para makita iyon. Nanginginig kong inangat ang t-shirt niya at bumungad sa akin ang kaniyang malaking pasa. Kulay asul na iyon na malapit nang maging dark violet. Pinapalibutan niyon ang kaniyang maliliit na gunshot wounds sa kanan na bahagi ng likuran niya. Sumagi muli sa kaisipan ko ang ginawa niyang pagyakap sa akin kanina. ‘He saved me … again.’ Bumalik ako sa harapang bahagi niya at inang

Nakaupo ako sa lilim ng malaking puno. Magaan sa pakiramdam ang simoy ng hangin. Pakiramdam ko’y para akong dahon na dinadala sa himpapawid. “Peace is always beautiful isn't it?” Napawi ang panandaliang ginhawa nang marinig ko ang boses niya. “You’re here . . .” Nanlalaki ang mga mata kong pinagmasdan ang lalaking nakasandal sa puno. “Kuya, is that really you?” “Ngayon mo na lang ulit akong tinawag niyan.” Sumilay ang mapaglaro niyang ngiti at umayos sa pagkakaupo. Nanginginig ang buong kalamnan ko. “Bakit mo iyon ginawa?” Pumiyok ang boses ko kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin. Mahina siyang tumawa. “Kailanman hindi ko sisirain ang mga binitawan kong pangako saiyo noon,” sabi niya pa na ikinakuyom ng kamao ko. Mahigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa damuhan. Halos sabunutan ko na ang lupang kinauupuan ko. “At ngayon, lalong nasira ang mga binitawan mong salita. Binaon mo lang ang sarili mo sa libingan. Kahit kailan hindi mo na ako mapoprotektahan kasi hindi na … hindi na tayo mag...” “Al

Darkness — a hollow blank space that has nothing much to offer. Just like an emptiness that keeps further and further as the universe keeps expanding forever. They say the never-ending darkness gives terror in our lives, but with just one light all of it will be gone and I was right! At the end of darkness, there would always be lighting waiting for us to discover. A blinding white light as if it’s smiling at you, ready to swallow you. Spiralling shivers travel across my body. What am I even doing here? Am I dead? Did I become one of them? I look up at the light and witness how it turns fiery. The familiar smell of burned flesh lingers in the void. The hot atmosphere makes me sweat and lose my breath too, convincing myself that I am really dead and I’m finally in my hellish afterlife. But a voice echoes, telling me to wake up. Not long after that, I regained consciousness. There I find myself in the midst of leaping flames that burn like a temper. I utter a loud curse to my disma

Sterilized tweezers, needles, thread, gauze pads, and bandages are what Vino needs right now. There happens to be a place nearby where all of those supplies are available. I'm talking about Weston's, an all-around drug store owned by Shae's father.We may reach it within ten minutes. I just need bigger thighs, longer legs, and a lot of stamina to reach it faster because I can't anymore! How foolish can I be to think that I could carry him in a fireman's style?It's only been two minutes! With Vino and my backpack slinging on my back, all I can think about is crashing in bed."Zom ... bie," he warned.I shifted my whole body. Although it was dark, I could see Vino was right.
