Ficool

Chapter 23 - Chapter 22- Acceptance

With a surge of new found determination

I began the laborious process of sitting up

Nothing is built in a day plus I have plenty of time

All around me, students walked in carrying unconscious students with black spots

Some of the students were panicked at their friend passing out

You could see it in the way they kept trying to wake those who had collapsed

Then there were some other students who were dissatisfied with the job of taking them to the clinic

The last group of people belonged to those who were gloating.

This especially could be seen from the face of one female student as she led another female student in

The clinic was mildly noisy but what does that have to do with me

These guys are all extras who are going to die anyway

No wait some people did leave after dropping off their companion so they might not be dead

They could have safely escaped from the school premises while I was dead

Killed by a fast moving zombie

Now I finally made it up

I rested my back on the pillow while thinking of what weapon to use this round

The backpack was the closest but that didn't work

Who knows, the second time might be different

It's not like the zombie was fast on the basis of superhuman agility

But more like a regular person dodging

Hmm maybe a normal athlete dodging sounds more accurate

It's not like a seasoned fighter who learnt the art of battle

But more like the way a person would dodge a bottle thrown at you by a friend

Grabbing my bag and steeling myself

I sat on the bed watching my environment intently

Honestly this must be the most peaceful zombie transformation I have seen

Usually the people about to turn make some weird movements of have seizures

But the ones in front of me look like they are asleep

Just a very deep sleep that can't be interrupted

Then one of them rose their upper half up

His eyes trembled and his iris turned red like blood was rushing in

He sprang into action admist the screams and bit the nurse checking on him

The student close to me also "woke up"

He lunged at me and I dodged

Haha screw you, who's the slow one now

I smiled feeling happy

Then the student rose up from the floor in an awkward posture

It was like an invincible hand picked his upper body up until he was kneeling

Then his legs stood straight

He growled and turned to me

The last thing I thought was shit that's cheating

....

I massaged my wrists feeling wronged

Stupid zombies couldn't do their weird dance when they were turning but could perform it to stand up

The sound of his bones and joints twisting and breaking was very loud at the time

Thinking about it made me both pissed and freaked out

The zombies in real life are really too dangerous

Those videos games are all liars

They deceived people into thinking that zombies are manageable

Tsk I kinda want to see how the apocalypse would be like

Oh well I'm probably going to die in this clinic

Well let's just have as much fun as I can

I leisurely sat up and prepared my weapon

I grabbed the bag and swung it around, ready for round 3

Of course I lost

....

Round 4

I swung it around furiously

Luckily the zombies were still dumb

But my arms got sore after five seconds and the bag slipped out of my hand

The zombie happily bit my neck

......

I tried to actually get out of bed this time

It's kind of silly to lay down and fight to the death

Tsk I got jumped by a zombie and that was the end

I was dead from the impact of my skull hitting the floor

......

I kept trying various ways but my body couldn't keep up

One time I suddenly had a seizure and was bitten in the middle of it

Another time I opted to actually leave the clinic and try fighting one on one with a zombie

The clinic was too crowded for me to do that

Alas I was too slow in getting out of bed so time was delayed

Then the zombie close to the door jumped me just as I managed to walk to it

Another time was when someone bumped into me as they tried to leave the clinic

Honestly it was just a graze but I still fell down heavily and was bitten by multiple zombies

Each and every single time,my body restricted me

At first I was enthusiastic

And then I got tired of it

I didn't want to wake up on the bed in the clinic

I wanted to go out fighting to the death

like I was in one of my games

Fighting zombies

But this horrid body of mine became a cage and a restriction

It caged me from achieving what I desired

It restricted me from playing

I couldn't walk too fast or apply enough force

I couldn't run away even if I tried to

Heck one time I got a heart attack from making such attempt to run

Emphasis on the trying because I didn't last past a minute

Honestly this is ridiculous

I spent my entire life not fighting my body and this blasted sickness

Now it wouldn't even let me do the one thing I do want

After all these years of trying to kill me,

it wouldn't even allow me to go out the way I want to

Why can't I be like other people

Why can't I run out of here like they do

Why don't I have the option to fight back

Why can't this body of mine cooperate with me just once

We aren't enemies

We want the same thing

We both want me dead

So why why why

Eventually I didn't want to die fighting the zombies

I wanted to go out fighting my body

I grabbed any object I could and killed myself before my body could

Once turned into twice

Twice turned three times

Three times turned into countless number of times

Over and over and over again

But out of one of those countless times;

My actions paused

Ha ha

Good good

It's better to make the world fight to the death

Let's turn this world into an endless flow of death so that we could all be free

Free of the world

Do you want some help

I could lead you to the most satisfying fight to the death you could wish for

oh why not, I thought

I smiled crazily as the zombie bit into my shoulder

And my smile became wider as I lost consciousness

The zombie on the brown haired female student smiling widely paused

It rose up and went after the next victim

The girl that looked dead suddenly rose up

Luckily the zombies had chased all the students away and the students who hadn't turned after collapsing left already

Shae Harris opened her bloodshot eyes to let out a howling laughter

Then abruptly passed out
