Chapter 1 - 1

In these dark days, in the midst of the world wide chaos here I am standing alone in a deserted place full of unresting corpses who kept moving and moving and moving until they no longer can.

It all started at the day when I thought everything was peaceful, I wished through the sky for these peaceful days to last.

Hold up what's with that poetic tone!?

Anyway, as I was about to go home my phone rang and a notification popped out and it says "Citizen we need you to evacuate quickly, the cases of public mutilation are increasing, if possible please go into a place with less people".

Or so it said but here I am staring blankly at the Earth not knowing what to do, I instinctively picked up my wooden sword hidden in my locker and rushed up to the rooftop.

"Here, they can't reach me, just in case I will whack them"

I was panicking at that time that when the door to the rooftop opened and I immediately raised my hand and swung it.

"Oops! I'm sorry, I thought you were going to do it to me"

When her hand moved a little I got nervous and went into a 'ready to smack' pose. She didn't look angry at me so I lowered my guard, and before I knew it I black out.

Everything is dark, I can smell a sweet strawberry like scent coming from, somewhere? So I went ahead and opened my eyes and to my surprise I was laying on a girl's lap, no wonder it felt so soft.

She gazed at me with her beautiful eyes, her face seems emotionless. I asked her what happened, she told me that I slid

and fell on my head.

After my question she asked to come with her, so I did and what I saw was horrifying. Below us was the unrecognizable school yard full of walking corpses and dead people, there are also those who's being chased and some are getting eaten.

"This is so horrible what happened, for how many hours am I asleep?", I asked in a sad tone.

She told me that I have been unconscious for 4 days, she took care of me since she was the only one with me.

She also told me that the nearest floor to the rooftop is locked from the outside so we are safe here and there are a bit of food stocks and necessities but it will run out soon.

I still can't believe that the everyday peaceful day that I wished for would vanish just like that. Soon after as I remember that she took care of me for 4 days while I was unconscious I can't stop thinking dirty stuff.

As I daydream I felt a hard pain at my side, she elbowed me. "Stop thinking about dirty stuff it's written all over your face", she said which made me leave my dream world.

We decided to find a way out of this locked department but unfortunately everything is locked. We look around and found a two meter rope, janitor supplies, a few empty boxes and most importantly a baseball bat.

The doors seem strong and I wonder why were we locked up in here.

While she was finding a perfect spot to make an entrance, I went to the computer room and opened one, it seems like there's still power running through the wires and the internet is still working.

Upon opening the browser I came across a new article saying "Zombies are real, they're eating people". Being a very curious person I opened the article and found a trash writings which only has on single sentence "Do not die because of them, your corpse will not rest".

I couldn't understand what it was talking about so I turned the computer off.

Step...Step...Step

Sounds of footsteps can be heard approaching my location. "Are there people here other than us?", I thought to myself.

Getting nervous I reached my hand out to grab my wooden sword and went into fight pose. As the door open I swung my sword and, Deja Vu? But this time there's no one there literally no one.

As I was about to go back and open my social media account. She was there standing behind me, looking at me.

"When did you!?" , I exclaimed as I jump back.

"After you almost hit me with your sword", she said in a calm voice

I apologized and asked her if she found an opening, luckily she did.

"What were you doing here?", she asked calmly but her neutral face gave me creeps.

"Ah, haha I was just looking around you know"

She then asked me what did I saw here. She seem more serious this time so I answered her honestly, then she looked panicked and opened the article.

Wondering why was she panicked I went to look at what she was doing. What I saw was a video of a reporter on the street then those things attacked her and the process was being shown to the camera, it was depressing.

I wonder why this is all happening to the world but all I can say was that I was here in these dark days together with a girl in the middle of a world wide chaos. So I hope those who died will rest in peace even if their corpses are still moving.
