This day was bound to come, this time, this year but it just had to be now didn’t it. Of all times why the hell now?! I yawned and rubbed my eyes. I ended up sleeping the whole morning; there goes my chance to escape. It makes me wonder how I even slept through all this. I un-wrapped the blanket and felt the friendly greeting of the cold breeze brush against the surface of my skin. I shivered and stretched taking care not to hit my head on the wall directly behind me. Today I need to know more about them. The dead of course, how do I ‘get to know’ them without getting eaten myself.

“They respond to sound…what about smell? Sight is quite obvious otherwise how do they see the thing they are going to eat?” I whispered taking the strangling hair tie off my wrist and pulling my hair up in a tight ponytail. Trails of loose hair fell around my face.

An ear piercing scream erupted on the opposite side of the window. I scrambled out of my crouching position almost slipping on my blanket and looked through the window. A man lay sprawled across the ground his arm in those putrid things mouth and his body already gnawed all across. A women was draped over what was a petit figure, trembling and screaming out for help.

What was I still doing here? Was I afraid of getting killed myself? No. I have nothing to lose. So why aren’t you moving? I looked down at my hands. They were a shady white and shaking harshly. I haven’t felt this emotion for a long time. And I liked it. Fear.

A sly grin tugged at the corner of my lips, almost playfully. I grabbed the bag from the corner of the room and tied my blanket on one of the bag straps. I ran to dad’s room grabbing a strange belt like device and wrapped it across my hip. I slipped the additional pistols into the pockets of the belt, keeping one in my hand, another knife and the little ammo bullets onto the belt.

The same sly grin playfully tugged at the corner of my lips and before I could stop myself I laughed, almost sickly but this amazing feeling of being dominant took over me. I lit one of dad’s cigarettes and slipped it between my lips, breathing in the heavy smoke and exhaling. I pushed the pack of cigarettes into the pocket of my jeans and slung my bag over my back clipping the buckles together.

I took the last remaining weapon, a large rifle over my chest and stormed out of the room. I returned to my room and opened my window and laughed. I breathed in the strong smell of a salty metal smell that subsequently took over the fresh air. Blood. I smiled and jumped out of the window landing almost elegantly onto the grass.

I looked across to the woman that was running with the petit figure crying out for help. I dashed across cautiously placing my hand onto the fence and pulling all my weight I leapt across sideways. I landed and ran across to them eyeing the zombies that somewhat looked excited. New flesh.

“Let’s see if I can use this baby” I giggled and pointed my pistol at the head of one of the zombies. I gently pressed the trigger before closing one eye, aiming, and pressing harshly onto the trigger. A loud bang erupted from the gun and the zombie head went backwards before its whole body collapsed onto the floor, no twitching to moving. It’s dead for real.

“Damn it hurts using my index finger” I mumbled dropping the cigarette out of my mouth and squishing it with my foot. I flipped the guns upside down and slipped my pinky finger through the loop of the gun. I aimed it at another zombie and pulled the trigger. The zombies head flew back and it collapsed onto the ground.

I laughed feverishly and strode towards the zombies eating the man. I shot them in the head as they came towards me. One. Two. Three. Four. This could be a new record. I have killed five of them so far. I wonder how many I can kill. I walked towards the man, his body twitching spastically. A moan escaped his lips before one of his eyes rolled back into his head whilst one stared directly at me.

I bent down next to him and leaned towards his ear “What a shame, that’s why you don’t go running out of your house without knowing what you’re doing. You almost got your family killed. Would you like me to kill you so you aren’t one of these?” I asked and rose from the ground and looked at the man. A tear slowly rolled down his cheek and a soft yes came out of his head. In an instant I pointed my gun at his head and clasped my finger around the trigger.

“No please don’t kill him he’s my husband!” the woman from before came running back her hand in a little boys hand. Petit figure. His eyes stared into mine. They were cold. His face only held a grim expression as he stared at his father’s body.

“Isn’t there anything we can do?” the woman sobbed, her tears gushing down her face. Her mouth was crinkled into a frown. “I can’t do anything about it except execute him before he turns out like those things” I pointed towards one of the dead on the floor.

“No what am I supposed to do?” she cried collapsing to the floor and crawling towards her husband and cradled him. “Baby wake up please don’t do this to me please” she cried rocking him in her frail arms.

“Don’t you understand his dying wish? He’s doing this for you to fix his mistake. Accept it” I said coldly. The body started convulsing in her arms and shook around violently “Honey are you o-” she started before a scream erupted from her mouth.

The man’s teeth had sunk into the flesh of her arm before ripping away a chunk of muscle. I froze and watched the deprived husband eating away at his wife. I turned towards the boy, his eyes staring coldly at his parents, a slow tear escaped and ended at his chin with a slow drop.

“Permission?” I asked pointing the gun at both parents. “Yes, end this…please” the boy whispered before I hooked my finger around the trigger and pressed it.
