You know, waking up in an alleyway wasn't what i was expecting when i went to sleep last night.
"Damn…where am i."
I looked around a bit and saw some strange things. People running from other…people?. Damn…they look like.. "zombies?"
"…"
I straight up began to run too…no motherf*cking zombie's is catching my ass. Tho I didn't know where i was going, all i know is that i shouldn't be here.
*GHRAAAAHHHHH*
I heard a scream and looked back..which was something i probably shouldn't have done. Cuz it scared the shit out of me. There was a motherf*cking zombie running after me!.
No not just running..full on sprinting!
"FUCKKKK!!!" I yelled outloud running faster. Thank god for these tight corners. It seemed that i was in a densely packed residence. Still hearing that f*cker groaning right behind me made my adrenaline spike through the roof.
"fine you wanna follow me you son of b*tch!, Then follow!"
I ran as fast as i could before suddenly making a hard left turn. The zombie didn't even see it coming and ran straight into the wall. I swear i could hear bones break.
I stopped to catch my breath while quickly looking around for a weapon. That's when i found a crowbar lying on the ground.
Picking it up quickly i jumped at the motherf*cker who was still on the ground. I don't know how many hits he took to the head but he finally stopped moving. I quickly looked around to see if there were more coming. Luckily there were none.
"Think alex!, think! What to should you do now…people…yeah..i need to find other survivors."
Gunshots rang across the city, alarms going off everywhere and screams…lots of screams.
I don't know what's going on or where i am..but what i do know is that i won't die here in this shit hole.
…
An hour had passed since i came to be here…where ever here is.
I climbed on one of the houses to seek shelter from the runners. Looted the house too…don't think the owners are coming back for their stuff.
Found some food and a couple of water bottles. Took a big kitchen knife, some duct tape and some clean clothes…the more clothes i have on the better chance i have of not being bitten.
Luckily i found a cool leather coat. Extra protection against unwanted zombie kisses.
I taped bot my arms with the duct tape. God have mercy on my soul for when i remove them…
"HELPPPP!,SOMEBODY HELLPP ME!!"
I flinched at sudden scream but remained where i was. I had gotten used to it…men, woman and children.
I heard it all,
i tried to help some…
but everytime i arrived at the location,
i only saw them being torn to pieces.
…
The house i'm in is a three story building. I could see almost all of the other buildings around me. I could also see some skyscrapers in the far distance, that's the last place i want to be. Too many people were probably there…that means a horde of zombies.
Looking at the buildings closer to me that seemed to be attached to each other. Some of the houses barely standing upright. All of it looked like a giant garbage pile.
"This place looks like shit with all the buildings mashed together…Though that does make it easier to run on the rooftops avoiding some of the zombies…"
*BEEP BEEP BEEP~*
A car alarm went off right infront of my house.
I quickly went to the window to see what was happening. There i saw a woman and 2 children running from an infected.
"Fuck…" I clamped my jaws shut tight, deciding if I should help or not. Oh who the hell am i kidding I already made up my mind.
"Alright alex! you got this!." I hyped myself up. Cuz what i'm about to do was total madness…but it's the only way i'll make it on time.
I opened the window and looked at the zombie chasing them. A second passed and i jumped down, aiming to land on the zombie.
*pop*
That ladies and gentlemen was the sound of my knees hitting the zombie face and probably also some of my bones breaking.
"Ouch ouch ouch.."i got up from the infected. Took the kitchen knife i had picked up from the house and stabbed it in his brain for good measure.
Looking around i quickly spotted the trio hiding behind a car. I gestured towards the house i just jumped off of and luckily the woman caught on.
*gaahhhh!!* the car alarm attracted more zombies.
"Shit more are coming!" I tried to run towards the house but pain quickly shot through my body making me fall to the ground.
I had broken my left leg. The woman already went inside the house with her children. I gritted my teeth and got up, tried again to take another step, but my left leg just didn't respond.
A few seconds passed and I dreaded at how i'm about to die. I was so close to the door, yet so far away.
then i saw her.
The woman came out again and ran up to me. She grabbed my hand and placed it around her shoulder. I started limping with her towards the house as fast as i could.
Arriving inside, she threw me to the ground and closed the door. Locking it and moving some furniture to block it.
The zombies outside were luckily attracted to the car alarm.
I saw the children were still down here. They were hiding inside the fridge…
"Smart…" I said leaning my head against a wall. I was tired…I tried to play hero and look where that got me, a broken leg and a few broken ribs maybe.
"The house is safe, no zombies." I spoke to the woman. She looked at me and then at the stairs that lead to the second floor hesitant. She took a broken plank and silently went upstairs alone.
…
A few minutes go buy and she returned. She looked at me for a few second before going to the children and leading them upstairs.
Leaving me all alone down here…as I couldn't move on my own, i just stayed there closing my eyes and listening for any sounds that come from outside.
I could hear gunshots every few minutes. Military perhaps…I strangely felt comfortable where i was on the ground or was that just my tiredness kicking in.
Probably just tired.
Hearing footsteps, I opened my eyes to see the woman coming down. Thank goodness she didn't forget me…
She quietly came by side and gently lifted me up. She guided me upstairs to the second floor. There i saw that she boarded up the windows and moved all the furniture to block them.
It seems she's planning on staying here for a while.
She dropped me at the stairs leading to the third floor and went to close the door leading to first floor.
"*sigh*…It's safe now…" she spoke. Her voice sounding tired. She turned back to me helping me get up off the floor.
"Thank you…for saving us." She said while we were heading up the stairs.
"You don't have to thank me…all in a day's work." A smile plastered on my face. Man, that was probably cringe.
She gave me an awkward smile back, yep definitely cringy.
Arriving upstairs, i could see she did the same thing here too. The windows and balcony door were boarded up. The children were hiding under a bed that was covered with sheets.
"James, jessie, come out now"
The woman gestured for them to come out and when they did, she layed me on the bed. She rummaged through her bag looking for something. After a while she came back to me and started to remove my pants.
"Hey! hey!, How about asking me out first!" I said grabbing her hand.
"I'm a doctor and I want to take look at your leg, to know how bad it is." She said with furrowed eyebrows.
"Oh…I'm sorry. It was just so unexpected, please continue." I said laying back down.
"I understand, i too should have asked first." She said apologetically. She began taking my pants off only to discover that i also ductaped my entire legs.
"Duc tape? I'm sorry to say this but that won't stop them from biting you…" she said seeing my leg covered.
"How would you know?" I asked her questionably. As far as my zombie knowledge goes, it's the third best thing for armor.
"We came from a quarantined zone…there they had hazmats suits, but even that couldn't protect them from the virals." She said solemnly while still working on my leg.
"Virals…quarantined zone…sounds familiar" i said softly trying not to react to the pain coursing through my body as she did her doctor magic.
*ding*
Something inside my head clicked, linking all the dots together.
*deep inhale*
"Hey…what's this city called?"i asked hesitantly, as i began to hope that it wasn't what i think it was.
"Harran…" She said looking at me confused for a moment before going back to work on my leg.
"oh god no…"
