The morning terror

A shrill scream shattered the uneasy silence of the morning, jolting Luke from a fitful sleep. He sat up instantly, his heart pounding, as the echoes of the scream reverberated through the lab. Around him, others stirred, their eyes wide and filled with panic.“What the hell was that?” Jeff muttered, his voice groggy but tense.Luke glanced around. Mira, Justin, Collins, Favor, and Sarah instinctively moved closer to him, their expressions mirroring his fear. Across the room, Akin, Charles, and the two others huddled together, their faces pale and drawn, the sickness they had tried to hide now more evident in the harsh morning light.The group crept out of the small room they had slept in, cautiously stepping into the dimly lit main lab. The blocked door at the far end loomed like a fragile barrier between them and whatever horrors lay outside.“Help! Someone, please!” a desperate female voice cried, the sound growing closer with each word.They froze, their breaths catching in their

The Nightmare

Joseph bolted upright, his breath ragged and chest heaving like a man pulled from a deep underwater abyss. Cold sweat drenched his face, and for a terrifying moment, he couldn’t tell dream from reality.The nightmare had been disturbingly vivid—blood-slicked streets, piercing screams, and the bone-crunching sounds of death. In his dream, he’d been powerless, unable to save Mira, watching as she was dragged into the darkness by the infected.He clenched his fists, forcing the memory away. Slowly, his breathing steadied. “Just a dream,” he muttered, rubbing his face with both hands. But the ache in his chest lingered, a reminder of how fragile hope was in a world like this.His soldier instincts took over, and he scanned his surroundings. The beverage shop was eerily quiet, illuminated only by the faint morning light creeping through the dusty windows. Half-looted shelves leaned against the walls, and broken glass crunched faintly underfoot as he moved.The pistol at his side gave him s

Secrets

The air in the lab was thick, stale with the scent of sweat and fear. Luke led the search, his movements steady but deliberate. He glanced back every so often, watching the others with a growing unease. Akin, Charles, and the two unnamed survivors were visibly deteriorating. They weren’t just tired—they were sick. The signs were all there: the shivering, flushed faces, and glassy eyes. The two unnamed guys huddled in a corner, their bodies wracked with trembling. Every cough or wheeze made the group collectively flinch. "Are they infected?" Collins's voice broke the uneasy silence, his tone sharp with suspicion. Heads turned to Collins, whose intense gaze was locked on Akin and his group. His words hung heavy in the air, drawing a line between “us” and “them.” Akin, leaning against a table for support, bristled at the accusation. “We’ve been hiding since this whole thing began!” he shot back, his voice hoarse but defiant. “If you had any common sense, you’d know that. Why the hell

The Fight and the Turning

The air in the lab was heavy, oppressive, as if the walls themselves were holding their collective breath. Luke crouched near an overturned desk, flipping through loose papers with furrowed brows. The others moved cautiously around him, their footsteps muffled by the debris-littered floor. Favour was the first to break the silence. “This diary is a dead end,” he muttered, tossing the small notebook back onto the table. “Just more notes about the serum and some cryptic references to ‘Phase Two.’ No answers.” Luke sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “There’s gotta be more. People don’t just scribble this much nonsense without a purpose.” Mira leaned against the wall, arms crossed tightly. “I don’t know, Luke. What if this is all they left behind? Just breadcrumbs to nowhere?” “No.” Collins’s voice was firm, sharp like the crack of a whip. He had been pacing near the door, keeping an eye on Akin and his group, who were huddled in a corner of the lab. His gaze flicked over to t

Into the Encampment

The convoy moved steadily along the dusty road, the faint outline of the university looming in the distance. Samuel gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white. His jaw was set, his face a mask of determination. Beside him, Laura held onto his arm for support, her gaze fixed on the horizon, where chaos and the unknown awaited them. “Are you sure we’ll find him?” Laura asked, her voice trembling, her fingers trembling against the fabric of his sleeve. Samuel didn’t take his eyes off the road. “We’ll find him,” he said, his voice quiet but resolute. “I won’t stop until we do.” Behind them, Major Erickson sat in his Humvee, his presence commanding even in silence. The convoy of military vehicles trailed them, engines rumbling steadily. Soldiers inside the trucks kept their rifles close, their eyes scanning the horizon for threats. The tension in the air was palpable, every bump in the road a reminder of the unknown waiting ahead. Suddenly, the sharp crack of gunfire pi

On the run

The mood in the command tent shifted after Lieutenant Bassey's explanation of the "situation." Major Erickson leaned against a table, his arms crossed, his usual stern demeanor replaced by a troubled expression. The sight of the caged student, rabid and unrecognizable, gnawed at him in a way no battlefield ever had. This wasn’t war—it was something much darker, something far beyond his training and understanding.He rubbed his temples briefly, then turned to Bassey. "Lieutenant," he began, his voice quiet but firm. "I need to ask—did any soldier named Joseph Erickson from the combat squad come through here?"Bassey paused, his brow furrowing in thought. “Joseph Erickson?” he repeated, tapping a finger against his chin. “Oh, right. That troubled young man. Yes, he was here briefly.”Major Erickson’s expression stiffened. “That ‘troubled young man’ happens to be my son,” he said.Lieutenant Bassey froze mid-thought, his face turning an awkward shade of red. "I—I didn't mean..." he stamm

The confession

The room was suffocatingly tense, the kind of atmosphere where even breathing felt like an accusation. The group sat huddled together in the cramped shed, a once-cozy storage room at the outskirts of the campus now turned into a refuge of desperation. The only source of light was a flickering lantern in the middle of the group, casting uneven shadows on their weary faces even though it was late morning outside.Luke leaned against the wall, his arms crossed as he stared at Akin with barely concealed anger. Mira sat on a wooden crate, her sharp gaze fixed on Akin like a hawk ready to swoop. Collins stood near the barricaded door, his eyes darting toward every sound outside, while Justin usually the joker, sat silently in the corner, his head bowed. Jeff and Sarah were seated next to Favour, who had a book open in his lap but hadn’t turned a page in hours.The group had been through too much—too many close calls. And now, it seemed, the chaos that had nearly cost them their lives had on

Politician in the mix

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the makeshift military barricade that separated the parents from their children. The tension in the air was palpable, an electric hum that threatened to erupt into chaos at any moment. The crowd of parents surged forward again, shouting demands at the soldiers stationed behind the barriers."Let us through!" one mother screamed, tears streaming down her face. "We just want to see our kids!""My son is in there!" a man bellowed, his fists pounding against the metal barrier. "If anything happens to him, it'll be on your heads!"The soldiers, clad in their uniforms and helmets, held their ground, their faces grim but uncertain. They had orders not to escalate the situation, but the parents’ desperation was becoming harder to contain. Pushing and shoving replaced mere words, and the line of soldiers began to falter under the weight of the enraged mob.---A young soldier, barely out of his teens, looked back at his superior nervousl

Temporary shelter

The scorching afternoon sun bore down mercilessly on Luke and the group as they moved cautiously through the campus, hearts pounding with fear. Every step felt heavier than the last, every noise in the distance causing them to freeze. The once-familiar school grounds now resembled a twisted nightmare—buildings that used to bustle with life stood eerily silent, the occasional groan of a zombie breaking the suffocating stillness. Collins and Luke led the group, Collins moved slowly his tall frame hunched as he scanned the surroundings for any signs of danger. Mira followed closely behind, her face pale but determined. Jeff limped slightly, leaning on Sarah for support. His injured leg slowed them down, but no one complained. Justin trudged near the back, his stomach letting out a loud growl that broke the tense silence. “Seriously, Justin?” Favour muttered, clutching his prized book tightly to his chest as if it could shield him from the horrors around them. “What?” Justin shrugged, u

The last blow

The shed was cramped, the air heavy with the stench of sweat and blood. Shadows stretched across the small space, the dim light from the single window casting eerie shapes on the walls. Akin sat on a crate, his face pale, his breathing uneven. He clutched a makeshift cutlass tightly, his knuckles white. Across from him, Charles lay on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, his skin slick with sweat and his breaths coming in shallow gasps. The tension between them was suffocating, a silence filled with unspoken fears. Charles finally broke it, his voice weak and trembling. “Akin,” he rasped, his bloodshot eyes darting toward his friend. “Are you sure… this is how it’s supposed to be? Are we really going to get stronger after this?” Akin didn’t respond immediately. His jaw clenched, his gaze fixed on the cracked concrete floor. Guilt clawed at his chest, but he forced it down shoving it to the same dark corner where he kept the rest of his regrets. He turned to meet Charles’ d
