Railsplitter84 45 Posted February 4, 2014 I woke up on the beach in some forsaken hole... I remember trying to escape the plague... I'd heard it hadn't made it to Europe yet so I hopped a plane from my home near Chicago. Layover in New York, nothing exciting, the usual. On the way over the atlantic I heard a rumor from the guy in the seat next to me that a plane had been taken over by the dead and crashed in Japan. Little did I know it would happen to us. I remember screaming, and gunshots-there must have been an Air Marshal on the plane, more screaming as we lost pressure and descended rapidly. Next came the splash, the water, and swimming, choking bodies. When I woke up I had nothing but the clothes on my back and my old mag-lite that had somehow made it past those dumb TSA guys. I was dreadfully thirsty from lying on the beach gasping for air in my unconsciousness. I got up and started toward the nearest houses I could see. Found a can of sardines that helped my hunger, and a can of soda to wet my cottony mouth. Got an old leaky army canteen too, but it had a few swallows of water in it. The tuna didn't help any though because I couldn't get the can open... I hope someone else can find it and make a good use of it. I ate and drank all I found, but was still so weak. I spotted a few houses clumped together in what looked like a village further down and moved toward them. Anything would help, a few cans of soda even! By the time I got there my eyes were seeing a slight grey I was so dehydrated. In the first house I looked through I found a camo hat and a flannel shirt. Tore my old shirt into rags in case I needed to bind a wound or anything, but I needed water... bad. As I came out of the house, a guy came up behind me and made a pass at my head. First though: This jac**s* wants to steal my new cap! "No way!" I yelled as I turned and started raining punches on his face and body. He fell to the ground with a gurgling noise and I started to see if maybe I could help heal his wounds and make a friend... but as he got up almost right away I realized this was no hat-thief... ZOMBIE!!! I turned away and ran as fast and far as I could, cutting though a couple houses until I lost him. The last house I went through was empty, and I was starting to lose hope and decided I HAD to try approaching the town where I had seen the zombie. I needed a pump to fill my canteen, more soda, anything for the dehydration wracking my fragile body. No sooner did I get to town that I saw two zombies running at me... I readied my fists, knocked them down one at a time as they got to me, and ran for my life! I had to get away! run, run ,run!!!!! I glanced back and now saw 4 Z's were chasing me, hell-bent on a new meal. No way I could shake them all. Then I noticed I was bleeding... Yanked a rag from my pocket and wrapped up my wound, turned around and waited. I would die fighting. These Z's would not take my spirit and I refused to wait for dehydration to exact its slow evils upon me. Already I saw no color, the world turned to grey. 4 Zombies surrounded me, scratching, biting, my punches raining against their dead skulls... I saw one fall and melt into the ground so I know I took at least one out, such a good way to go! But the other three got me... I fell into a state of unconsciousness, and only now I lie waiting for despair and pain to ebb my life away... 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
