Chapter 1

I can’t help but look around me as I run down the abandoned street. My canvas clad feet smacking harshly against the dirt road with my increasing stride. The early morning sun making it easy to see as the darkness lifts. My breathing became deafening as I continue to tire. I need to push on they need the medicine.You’re not going to make it, the fever will kill all those effected all because you weren’t quick enough. That’s why they abandoned you the first time, isn’t it? You weren’t quick enough, It’s all your fault they left you. My subconscious speaks like I am a five year old in need of a scolding.My uneven breathing grows harsh as my throat closes up with memories rushing back from my subconscious’ taunting. My fingers automatically go to the left side of my forehead to trace the ridge of the scar to its end just below my right eye.Why is it whenever I’m alone I always en

Chapter 2

I pant as my feet carry me towards the compound, I wonder if anyone will be alive and if they are will they be happy to see me?The scent of iron became heavy in the air as I slow to a jog. The compound looks daunting as the gun shots echo around. Where is everyone?Just as the thought came to mind the gunshots and screams silenced, the roaring in my ears was deafening as I pushed my way past the fallen debris to look for any sign of life but I knew I wouldn’t find what I was looking for, the realisation that I was completely alone yet again dawns on me as I came across a body. It was one of the teenagers that also had been taken in, I stare at his horribly disfigured body and I came to the conclusion that this attack was caused by those monsters, if they were still around I need to gather all the supplies I could before they found me or before the corpses reanimated I quietly search the bodies I could reach without having to leave the cover provided by the debri

Chapter 3

It won’t work... here let me demonstrate. You throw the bottle and it shatters on a rock away from you, you wait a minute with baited breath as the shrieks head towards the bottle. Now! It’s your chance, you start for the building but…but you step on a stick and it snaps. Oh no! they’re coming for you, bam! You’re caught and ripped into shreds. My subconscious chuckles as my hand picks up the transparent glass bottle, I just need to throw it far enough that they will run away from me. That way I can make a run for the building and barricade myself inside. My hands start to sweat with the tension running through my body, I grip the bottle tight as my breathing became heavy. I prepare to lob the bottle

I prepare to lob the bottle away from me. Here we go I just need to get it far enough away from me. I draw my arm back I propel the bottle forward, the glass easily slips through my sweaty grasp as my muscles tighten with the release.

Chapter 5

Fuck there is two of them. How am I supposed to take them down? You can’t. You should take that shard and slit you wrist now. You can’t take two of them down. No matter how weak they are. Remember you are weaker than them. Shut up! Just remember I offered you an easy way out. I gripped the shard firmly as I reassessed the creatures behind me. I was right, they’re sickly looking. They’re barely standing. They were in the same place but their heads were tilted backwards as if they were concentrating on something. Were they listening? Were my footsteps too loud? I shook away the impending anxiety as I peered around for a distraction. I need to lure them away from each other. I spotted a rock and slid my hand along the dirt until I felt the rough surface, not taking my eyes away from the group. I carefully picked the rock up and tested the weight in my hand, would they

Chapter 6

I need to get down and search the body of the vampire that impaled itself. Maybe I can find something on one of the bodies that can help me. I looked around me as the ledge seemed to only have one way down and it was those rickety steps. I began to climb down.Don’t look down there. Don’t. Look. Down. Scared are you? Come on. I dare you to look down. If you look down it might ease your mind… Stop trying to be nice!Stop interrupting me! I was going to say. It might ease your mind to know how far you’re going to fall!That’s not any better than pretending to be nice to me!I continued to climb down until I reached the last step, how am I going to get enough momentum? Maybe if I can find something to hang onto in case I don’t make it? My eyes looked to the sides of the ravine as fast as I could until I spotted a vine like objec

Chapter 7

 I guess that’s why I have my scar, a reminder of the fact that I’ll never be as strong as I need to be. As strong as I want to be. Maybe I deserve the scar…. I-i know I deserve my scar it’s all my fault. I… I need to search the body. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, collected the supplies and got to my feet, stumbling backwards as my backpack settled on my shoulders.I breathed in through my nose, dragging my feet towards the shish kebabbed vampire. I just need to kill the other one then I can leave. I’ll figure that out later I suppose. I sighed as I reached the rotting body that had been speared by the rod, god these things actually stink. I squatted down and patted the pockets down until I felt a hard rectangle in the front. I put my hand into the pocket after glancing around, it was just an ID and a pocket knife. I felt my stomach role as I stared at the picture on the plastic, the woman had blonde hair and blue

Chapter 8

 I have been traveling for four days now, the weather had stayed clear and there was no drama however I can’t even begin to explain how much my feet hurt. I was around 200km in by now and the evacuation centre seemed so far away but I knew better than to give up now, I had come so far and I refuse to give up for now at least.Darkness slowly coated the surroundings, I need to find a tree that’s steady and could hold my weight. I walked around the massive oak trees looking for one that wasn’t too high but wasn’t too small. As I walked around I could hear the snapping of twigs and the ground crunching beneath the weight of god knows what, the sound of panting reached me. What it that? The panting wasn’t as frantic as the beasts but It kind of sounded like a dog. Is it wild? Has it gone feral?I looked around for some kind of cover whilst I tried to figure out what kind of shape the dog would be in.I really hope it&rs

Chapter 9

   Wow that’s a fucked up thoughtI admit that’s fucked up even for me I rolled my eyes and sluggishly tried to sit holding my hand to my head to try and ease the pain that had gotten worse.I think I have a concussion or something...You don’t say I struggled against the pull of sleep I need to stay awake that is what you do with concussions right?No you need to lay back down and sleep let your mind drift away whilst you think of before the world went to hell.Hmmm tempting but I think not, I need to stay awake and aware of my surroundings. After managing to sit up I watched the dog with weary and unfocused eyes as it crawled towards me.“What are you doing?” I watched as closely as I could as it paused and lifted its ears.”Do you understand me?”

Chapter 10

I could hear muffled sounds as I floated in the black void I was locked in, words like doctor and help come in and filled the void echoing through the hollow space.Who is that?That’s not your concern just focus on going through the darkness towards the end of this so called voidBut why am I here? What is this? Shut up and enjoy the peace whilst we still can I don’t understand what’s going on, what....what is this place? How do I get out?Just rela-My subconscious was cut off at my eyes opened wide the pressure and pain in my skull the only thing keeping me from falling back into the darkness.“Uhhh...what? What’s going on? Where am I?” My confusion doubled as I heard a muffled reply.” Lay... hurt.... calm......please” the voice was deep and sounded concerned.
