Chapter 1 - Undead

In a hospital ward a man can be seen lying in bed with machines still hooked up to him but none are working the flowers beside his bed are wilted. They seem to have been there for weeks... months even. The man looked European with a curly mop of hair on his head thin lips and a pointed nose, not pointed in a wrong way that made him stunning and he had a strong jawline to complement it.

*Boom*

A loud explosion woke him up from his slumber as he opened up his deep blue eyes that sparkled when light shone in them.

He looked around for a while and sat up

"Hello nurse."

He called out weakly almost as if he was whispering.

"Nurse!"

This time with more volume as he didn't get a response.

"Hey nurse!!"

This time screaming like a mad man.

He realised no one heard him and he pulled out the IV that was stuck to him and other stuff on him and tried to get out of bed but he was still too weak and fell on the ground.

He sat up trying to remember what happened to him as he didn't know why he was in the hospital.

A sharp pain assaulted him from the back of his head and he stopped trying to remember hoping it would all come back to him.

He tried standing up again and managed to stay on his feet. His knees were still a bit wobbly but he got the hang of it.

Standing up you could see that he is large man seemingly 6 foot tall with broad shoulders and long straight legs.

He look down at the hospital gown he wore and found out that his name was Adam.

Adam made his way to the door and tried pushing it open but it wouldn't budge like something was blocking it from outside.

He gave up trying to open the door and scanned around the room.

He saw a locker with his name on it and on opening it he saw clothes a pair of blue straight jeans and a white sweatshirt. He saw a wallet with his full name in it on a drivers licence

"Adam Greene huh"

He wondered if it was his real name because it didn't ring any bells.

He put on his clothes and looked out the window and saw a park right outside the back of the hospital. He was way too high up to consider jumping as he was two stories up, so he decided to try for the door again.

He paced himself from the door and the bed and ran towards the door throwing his full body weight into it .

*Thud*

It opened quite q bit and he was able to push it all the way.

Now he was in the hallways and saw what stopped the door before. It was a brown travelers bag and commendable size. He bent down to lift it up but it was heavy and he got dropped on his ass.

"Damn I'm still not feeling well"

He said under his breath and opened the biggest zip on the bag and what was in there shocked him to his core.

The bag was full of human heads that seemed to have been pierced by a bullet each one of them. In a panic he moved back and tried to calm down but he was so nauseous by the sight that he vomited.

After a whole 5 minutes he regained his courage and opened the rest of the beg and found two chocolate bars and a bottle of pop which he woofed down fast. He also saw a German trench knife and a Smith and Wesson .38 special handgun which he kept as he didn't know what to expect anymore and he walked down the hallway to some stairs.

Down the stairs he got to the cafeteria and decided to eat some more. He sat down on the floor with lots of canned corned beef more pop spam and bottles of water.

When he was done he stood up and was still amazed how no one was in the hospital cos he was in a big city one of the biggest in the world with a population of over 8 million people so why hasn't he seen anyone.

While thinking this he heard a sound of someone coming up the stairs or something. He was right it was a man and a woman. He hid underneath a table and observed thier movements as he was wary of them as the carry large rifles seemingly M4's and a large duffel bag.

They went to the counter of the cafeteria opening cabinets and other boxes taking food and putting it all in the large bag with them.

Adam was still under the table watching them and he was convinced that they were thieves and was preparing for to confront them. He slid from underneath the table and crept quietly towards them.

They were sitting close to the stairs and their backs were facing him so he thought he had the advantage. Upon getting closer he saw another figure walking up the stairs towards them and he hid with his back against the wall.

The man and the woman both brought out knives and stabbed the figure in the head.

This made Adam more aggravated and he came out and called to them.

"Hey assholes why'd you kill that man"

They immediately turned towards him with thier guns pointed towards his face, but Adam wasn't slow either his gun was out too.

"So now tell me why you killed the man huh?"

They both didn't answer

"Tell me!"

This time shouting at them both .

They didn't hesitate for one second after he shouted and ran down the stairs. He went after them shouting

" Hey get back here"

They didn't listen to any word he had to say and continued running until they got down to the lobby and he saw that the were about getting away and he shot the man in the leg bringing him down.

"Ahhh my leg help me Tabitha"

The man called out to the woman who stopped and went back to him but not to save him she went back to take the duffel bag and left him there

"I'm sorry but I can't"

"Tabitha no dont do this"

"I'm sorry"

And she left.

By then Adam had caught up to them and saw what happened and he was confused as he thought they were together.

Through the panic he saw a group of people heading towards the man on the ground.

" Noooo stay away from me "

Screaming he began firing his weapon bringing 3 of them down but one of them got him and bit him right in the face and the others pounced on him tearing him limb from limb.

Adam was so shocked that his gun dropped from his hand and he fell on his knees.

'What the fuck is happening am I dreaming is this real or am I on something '

Millions of thoughts raced his mind but where put on hold when they group turned towards him and where walking to his spot. Our of fear and with adrenaline pumping in his veins he ran back up the stairs but saw more of them with his gun not in his hand he brought out the knife and prepared to fight.

As they drew nearer and he readied himself he gunshots rang out in the lobby and the ones in front were dead. Standing in front of him was the woman who had left beforehand.

"Come on dumbass run"

He quickly snapped back to reality with those words and ran out the hospital into the road with the woman and into a car and they drove off.

'What the actual fuck just happened to me!!'
