12/4/09 (Day 2 of survival)
Leon and I awoke from our luxurious slumber, and looked around the room. We couldn't believe that so much had already happened just two nights before.. As curious as we were, Leon and I had thought it was best that we not explore this foreign base of sort. For all we knew it could be booby-trapped. There was a slight knock on the door, Leon did not hesitate to say to give us a moment to get out of bed to greet them in person and not appear to them as lazy slobs that they would most likely throw out of their base to their deaths of the flesh-eating creatures... As soon as we were dressed we headed towards the door calmly announcing to come in. The door slid open and an array of guns cocked and were ready to fire as they were directed to our heads... "Oh dear god.. What nightmare is this now!!.", was the only thought that had come to mind. So far the only person I knew the name and face of was Shelly, and at that moment she had stepped forward. "We need information about who the hell you are, because we don't need any backstabbing or secret murders for your own good. We know you've seen our supplies, now we need to know if we can trust you around them. But now, we do not have time to chat because we need to run another search party for survivors.." , she said.. Leon and I nodded our heads in agreement as they led us along the narrow corridors and armed us with our own set of defenses against the flesh-eaters. Leon and I were loaded, dangling from his back was a 12-Gauge shotgun just like the one I had seen that strange woman polishing and two large slings of extra ammo for it.. Dangling from his sides were two identical Uzis, and for emergency only, there were an array of knives hidden among his persona. I was similarly armed but instead of a 12-Gauge or Uzis, I was packing the same dual pistols I had been using before our voyage here, and a large Gatling gun with similar slings along my back as well... We set out to raid the super mall down the street, it was a supreme place for getting more supplies and finding survivors, but it was also pack-loaded with the flesh-eaters.
The roads were eerily quiet and deserted. If I could say anything about it, I would have thought something had just died, something big. I was grateful that the flesh-eaters weren't around, since it was so quiet and peaceful for once... I looked to the east and to my delight, there was the most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen since I had woken up... In fact, it was my first sunrise since then.. As we entered the mall, a sudden, eerie, silence preceded us.. We looked around the vast mall and stood in bewilderment as we saw no flesh-eaters.. This was all so confusing, I just couldn't understand what exactly happened there but I knew it wasn't normal.. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a foot turn the corner in a flash. I turned the corner hoping to see a survivor of sort, but I saw nothing... I saw a large clothing store and decided to take a look around. I looked at my clothes in disgust. They were the same clothes from the hospital and they were covered in filth and flesh eater blood. As I walked down the aisles I looked at some of the more mature clothes intriguingly and decided to pick out a few. In my hand I held a white spaghetti-strap tank top to put on underneath the low-cut cream colored blouse along with some torn blue-denim shorts. I decided to have a laugh and picked out a black laced bra and thong and headed to the dressing rooms. I checked every little corner of the dressing rooms to make sure no flesh eaters would get me while I stripped down to my most vulnerable lack of defenses that I called skin cells. I quickly ran over to the counter and removed the alarm-tags. I went back to the dressing rooms and did another complete check of the place. Luckily for me, it was deserted since no one had used it for a while. I stripped down and quickly threw on the new clothes. The thong was a bit awkward to get used to, but it was extremely light and easy to maneuver in. When I was completely dressed I took a moment to look at myself in the mirror. My face had a slender feminine point and soft, plump cheeks that filled out the cheek bones. For looking about 25, I didn't look half bad! I looked at my lean waist somewhat in disgust since I looked somewhat anorexic and bony. My legs also looked rather bony, but the muscle I once had appeared to be slowly returning. I stopped to laugh as I looked at my breasts; from what had been C's when I was 15 around the time I got hit by the semi, became size D around my twenties. Even though my breasts had gotten bigger, there was one thing that stopped me in my tracks that amazed me... My red hair that was once a short wavy mess, was now a long, elegant, wavy mess with soft spiraled curls lining the front of my hair. I brushed it out of my eyes as I saw a figure looming over me.. I turned quickly grabbing a pistol and aiming directly forward towards the figure. "WHOA WHOA WHOA don't aim that at me!" the figure was a young teen, possibly about 23-24 looking at me with gawking young eyes. "Holy crap you just scared the shit out of me!", I said. "Oh, I'm sorry", he said looking at me ashamed of what he had done. I sighed and laughed to myself as I put on all of my ammo belts and re-strapped my guns to my back. "Damn you're packing some firepower!".. "During times like these, I'm glad I've got so much", I said. Suddenly a slight clink of hangers caught my attention. The teen shoved me into the dressing room and immediately locked the door and looked at me. "Lady, I have no idea who you are but right now you have to shut up, GOT IT?! Out there is probably one of the biggest and sliest zombies I've seen yet and you do not want to mess with it! Let's just say that animal adoption place wasn't the best place to get hit by whatever it was that caused this mass hysteria. That zombie out there is as big and fast as a puma, but has the mouth of a wolf.. Not to mention the venom and camouflage.. I guess you can say I know this zombie first hand.. The only way that we are going to by-pass its sense of smell is by smelling like garbage... Lady, I know we've just met but you're going to have to trust me when I ask you this.. I need you to take off your clothes and blend your smell with mine or else we will both die...", he said. I stared deep into his dark brown, amber eyes and watched as he took off all of his clothes. I couldn't help but awkwardly stare, his skin was a silky, creamy brown colored. He looked a good part Indian and quite the charmer. I reluctantly started taking off all of my ammo and guns and now new clothes until I heard the clash of a mannequin breaking. I couldn't help but wish for Leon to be at my side but for now this stranger would have to do. I stood before him now completely naked and vulnerable. My eyes shifted uneasily as I kept a close watch on him.. His eyes never flickered down to stare at my breasts or even more perverted, at my vagina. I felt so exposed and uneasy, but there was something about him that told me that he was safe to be nude around.. His eyes met mine and I couldn't help but blush. What was this shock that came over me? I knew for certain I was in-love with Leon and Leon only but something had sparked yet a new interest in my heart... He came closer to me with a stern look on his face that told me it was time to "blend in". As he approached me, some feeling overwhelmed me, taking control of my body as I leaned forward and kissed the stranger dead on the lips... The feeling took me by surprise but somehow, I felt comfortable with it.. The reaction from the stranger was almost predictable, his eyes looked at me in shock, but his body responded almost positively as he closed his eyes and kissed me back sending shock-waves down my back. I could subconsciously sense that his penis was now erected, and he had no intent to stop kissing me. As we drew closer to each other, now heavily making out, I heard an array of bullets whizzing around the shop. "Oh SHIT! HURRY PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON BEFORE MY BOYFRIEND SEES US!!", I said to him in a worried tone quietly. I threw on my new clothes as fast as I could, and out of the corner of my eye I saw him doing the same and right as I slung my ammo and guns back onto my back, I saw the door get a good tug on the handle. I heard the voice of Shelly giving orders to look for survivors as I made sure to check that my new "friend" was fully dressed as I bolted out the door and fell over a big mound of sort, when I heard my friend screaming not to go... As I fell over the massive lump, I felt a searing pain running down my arm as I suddenly found myself flying into the wall and getting knocked unconscious.
(later that same day...)
I woke up with an oxygen mask wrapped delicately around my face, my hair was in a slight braid off to the side, I could hear the monotone beep of the computer next to me. It all seemed like a daze, and it felt like I was back in the hospital, subconsciously watching myself in a coma. But what was I to learn here, if at all anything? I saw the door to my room open as my grandmother slowly eased her way into my room. My heart ached as it realized that all the family I had come to love was dead, and all my friends had gone with them.. All I had left now was Leon, he is my only family.. I looked back and watched my grandmother as she leaned over the rails and whispered something into my ear.. "Dearest Shay, my aching bones are telling me that something bad is coming and that there wont be anyway to help you through it. My bones also tell me that I wont be alive much longer, I wanted to say that I love you and that you will always be my granddaughter, and if you ever need me just look deep within your heart and call out for me and I will come, even if you can't see me, you will know I'm there... As I do not know what troubles you'll be facing, I bought these for you just in-case you should need them. At that moment I saw her set her purse in her lap and from it she pulled out the two pistols that I had found in my clothes only what seemed to be only a night ago.. My grandmother kissed my cheek delicately and took my clothes where I would find them later in the bathroom with the pistols stowed away safely within them.. My stomach gave a big heave, and I felt another searing pain within me as my vision slowly faded to black. My subconscious seemed to whirl around in circles and it seemed like all I could do is flail my arms wildly until I lost all control of my body and fell limp yet again..
I awoke with a start as I shot up gasping for air as pain flared through my shoulder. I coughed as I started choking on taking in too much air and writhed where I lay as the spasm of my shoulder cried in agony. I looked around as I clenched my stomach in pain. As soon as the pain became slightly bearable, I stood up and started unplugging myself from the cumbersome machines keeping me in one place. I hobbled out of the room hoping to know where I was so that I could have a more peaceful state of mind. My stomach churned as I fell to the ground and spat out a huge glob of blood. My vision started getting blurrier and blurrier as I continued to drag myself along the floor until I knew where I was. There was an indistinct voice behind me and I looked behind me with blurred vision to see if I knew who the voice belonged to but all I could make out was tattered clothing and a figure running towards me.. "Oh shit.", I thought to myself as all I could think in my head was that it was a zombie. As the figure loomed over me I could still hear an indistinct voice that slowly became clearer as I thrashed around on the floor screaming at the top of my lungs.. "SHAY!!! SHAY!!! SNAP OUT OF IT, YOU'RE OK!!" I looked at the figure closely and saw that it was my new friend. How he knew my name I don't know, but I was glad I was in safe arms. I saw another blurred figure out of my peripheral vision and started squirming in my friend's arms. He held me tightly as I squirmed until the new figure got closer and only when the new figure hugged me tightly and kissed me on the lips did I know who it was.. From the searing pain in my wounded shoulder I felt as though I was about to faint, and braced myself by wrapping my arms around the two guys.. I tried to tell the guys not to let me fall but I had no idea if i had said that coherently as they walked me back into the room I was just in. The guys plugged me back into the machines that tied me down earlier and sat down in chairs beside me. I could feel the medicine flowing through my veins as my vision got clearer by the second and my hearing was back to what it used to be. I rubbed my eyes gently and shook my head as I tried clearing the odd sensations of the medicine now flowing through my brain. "Ugh, what the fuck just happened to me. Damn, I feel like I got hit by that semi all over again." , I said as I leaned over the side of my bed and looked at Leon. Leon just gave me this sad but angered look that sent chills down my back as I saw him get up and leave the room. "What the fuck is his problem? His girlfriend get the shit beat out of her and he looks at her pissed like she went and fucked another guy! FINE BE A DOUCHE LEON!" I looked over at my friend, who I still did not know his name, although I was hoping he was about to tell me. "Look Shay, he has all the right to be mad at you, after all you did kinda make out with me naked. But that's beside the point. He doesn't know that any of that happened, but the fact that you were with me in that dressing room was enough to cause suspicion. I'll talk with him later that you tried to tell me to get out of the building, but I insisted on trying to protect you and took you in the dressing room to keep you safe.. Oh, and before you start asking questions, my name is Nate, I am Leon's brother..." I could only stare in awe as I never realized the connection. No wonder I had been so comfortable with him in the clothes store! I paused and tried to come up with something to say, but I was too dumbfounded. I heard the door knob clink and looked away to see Shelly and the gang walking in filling up all the seats around me. Shelly stepped forward calmly, meeting my curious gaze with a stern, focused look in her eye. "It's time we all got to know each other..", she said.
It took roughly the entire night to finish all of the introductions and I had finally knew the entire bunch of survivors names by heart. There was Shelly, Kylie(aka Faber), Lakin, Justin(aka Fluffy), Chuckles, and Giggles. The newest additions to the group included myself, Leon, and now Nate. Based off of the stories they told me, Shelly was looking for her long-lost husband Sean who had gone missing in an enormous battle. Kylie was looking for her lover as well whose name escaped my focus. Lakin ran her own family gun shop and knew everything when it came to firepower, but how she connected to the group I didn't catch. Justin was a arcade manager and was the go-to guy when it came to games. He was best friends with Chuckles and Giggles who both looked like motorcycle thugs from a bar carrying a 12 gauge shotgun everywhere looking bad-ass, but were the nicest guys you had ever met. Leon's story pretty much consisted of hospital visits and family events. Mine was a very vague story since I was in a coma for 10 years. As for Nate, he plain out stated that his business was his own and if he wanted to share it he would. As everyone finished, they all left to head for bed as I lay in the medical room until further notice.. I hated that room so much, needles were everywhere and the room smelled of mixed herbs and spices. But surprisingly, the bed was very comfortable and it was easy to drift away into a deep slumber.....

Journal of Hope (Entry 1 cont.)
12/3/09 (In the morning)
It was dawn, and now the start of day one of surviving the incident begins. I shifted uncomfortably into a new sleeping position as the hard ground of the freezer was unforgiving and caused my shoulders and lower back to get really stiff over night. Even though the power to the freezer was cut, there was still a slight chill as there was a draft coming through the bottom of the door. I jumped up instantly and looked around the freezer for any unwanted company, I knew instinctively that if there was a draft coming into the freezer, then our smell must also be traveling out. I shook Leon gently until he awoke looking at me with a curious but stern gaze. "We have to either seal the bottom of the door or we have to leave here, cause sooner or later those things are going to sniff us out if we don't!", I said. Leon rose to his feet and loomed over me and embraced me. "Don't worry, I think we will be safe a little longer in here", he said.
Suddenly there was a loud bang against the freezer door. I strapped on the holsters again and took both handguns and cocked and readied them. Leon and I heard scrabbling by the door like a dog's nails against a hard floor. Right as Leon kneeled down to see what it was through the little crack in the door, the door's hinges broke off and the door was sent flying into the wall. Luckily Leon dove out of the way and the debris completely missed me by a long-shot. There in the doorway were two dogs of monstrous proportions. They made a lunge for Leon, I managed to shoot one down where it had been standing but the second dog was too quick. I instantly froze up as the dog's teeth drew ever closer to Leon's neck, when I heard a loud BANG. The dog fell to the ground and lay motionless. Leon and I looked up abruptly to see where the bang had come from. There, leaning in the doorway, was a tall muscular, woman with a 12-gauge shotgun in her hand. From her appearance, I could tell that she was once a swimmer, and had the shoulder-length hood that came with swimming. She was dressed in a dark, navy blue suit with badges adorning her left sleeve and upper-left breast. From the description of the insignia she wore, she was "Royal Admiral of the Fleet". Or in other words, she was in charge of the royal navy.
"Dont just fucking stare! Get off your asses and move! There will be more of those things on their way!", she yelled. Leon and I got up as fast as we could and ran after her as fast as we could following her around each corner like we were being chased after. As soon as we came to an exit of the hospital, we burst out only to hear more gunshots all around us. There were two other girls, and three guys all fighting the creatures in unison. "Shelly!!! Hurry and lead these survivors to the base and check them for any wounds or even worse bites!!", yelled the admiral to her comrade. The girl named Shelly stepped forward and eyed both Leon and I before she started to lead us to their base. "You better keep up if you don't want to get eaten!", she said as she sprinted down the creature-infested street. I tried to sprint, but my attempt only resulted in an awkward wobble. Leon kept close to my side making sure to keep sight of the one named Shelly so we wouldn't be left behind.
Finally, I had grown extremely tired as my legs were giving into my weight. Leon picked me up with ease, and slung me over his shoulder as he ran towards Shelly. "We're here!", exclaimed Shelly. Leon went as fast as he could but I could tell my weight was becoming quite the burden. Shelly opened up an old garage door and led us underneath as she abruptly closed and locked it tightly. She led us down a long labyrinth of corridors until we were in a large, vast room surrounded by supplies of all sorts that could last a century if rationed right. To my right, was another tall woman staring me down with a whole array of weapons surrounding her. "I'll make you a deal... One you cant refuse..", she said. I just stood as straight up as I could and continued walking.
Shelly led us into a large lab filled to the brim with herbs and medicines of all sorts. She sat me down on the inspection table and began a thorough inspection of the both of us. When she was done she just merely looked us in the eye and told us to get some rest tonight since we both were clean of infection and any wounds. Shelly led us down another corridor until we got to our rooms. "You both can sleep in this room. Since it looks like you two are extremely close, there is no need to separate you two. In-case you're wondering, no, there are no cameras in any of our rooms all we ask is nothing fishy or we wont hesitate to kill you both. ", she said giving us a stern gaze. Leon and I made ourselves comfortable in the satin sheets that lined the king-sized bed and began drifting to sleep.
I can only say that something sparked between Leon and I that night.. We embraced each other like never before.. To put all suspicions aside, we had sex. The timing couldn't be any more awkward. But yet, somehow the moment seemed right, and I in fact was the first to make the advance towards Leon. The night was long and warm as we had finally gotten to sleep, with all our clothes on and sleeping comfortably in our bed... We drifted away into a deep slumber and put all our fears aside as we lay in the warmth of each other...

Journal of Hope (Entry 1)
This journal shall be mine and many others way of noting down the events of the incident that followed the strange explosion.. If you are another survivor and have found this, that means that I myself and my comrades, are running amongst the living flesh eaters. Please feel free to note your days of survival here so that one day, if there is still any hope for mankind, a rescue party shall find this journal and save many by searching the locations marked in the stories within this journal...
This is the start of my days of survival..
12/3/09 (Day one of surviving the incident)
This journal, a gift to me from Leon is now all I have left, other than him, to hold myself together.. I was only just yesterday, that the histeria began.. What began as my long expected day of waking from the coma I was in, and the brightening of Leon's 26th birthday, turned into hell within minutes of my waking..
Ten years ago.. Leon and I had only been dating for one year and were on the brink of our anniversary when it all happened within seconds.. I was riding through the bustling city of Tucson on my new "Rice Burner" as I called it through the city going at about 115mph with 50 miles to a gallon; I was good to go. The traffic light ahead of me that marked the calm intersection flickered green as I sped at top speed across. However as reckless as I was and as as fast as I had been going, the driver still had not seen me in time. A large semi truck pummeled into me directly from my left side hurling me into the corner stop sign, not only breaking my left leg, but knocking me unconscience. All I can remember at that point was the long, white hallways, blurred vision and the chatter of indistinct voices around me. After that, dark, black emptiness. The only feeling I remembered was the best of them all even if it wasn't real. Whilst I was in the swirling black hole of my conscience, I could feel the warm, soothing feeling, of whenever Leon joined his hand with mine,even though I was unable to respond... But the day of my waking had yet to come.. That day was December 2nd, 2009, the day of the explosion....
As I look back to December 2nd, 2009, I can only remember the still silence that started it all..
12/2/09 (The day of the explosion, the day before day one of survival)
My ears pricked as I could hear Leon's voice softly whispering to me, hoping that I would hear the gentle, loving tone in his voice and wake up. I couldnt believe it... This time I actually was able to subconsciously regain control of my body as my eyes slowly eased open to a very calm, soft-lit room with the door closed and locked up for the night. I peered over the edge of the tall rails of my bed and to my delight, there laying atop the rail was Leon looking deep into my eyes with tears of gratitude that I had come back to him...
As I took a small amount of time to ask Leon to fill me in on everything that has happened , Leon climed over the railing and layed beside me.. "You look so beautiful my dearest Shay", he said. Having been in the long coma that I was in, I had no idea how I appeared to the world now..I couldnt help peering down at my left leg as I felt a sharp jolt of pain searing through it. Wrapped around my leg was a bright, neon-green cast that cleary marked that my leg had not fully healed over the ten years I had been in the coma. "Since you weren't awake, the doctors couldn't test your leg with weight on it so the bones are still feeble and weak, but have mended and are ready to be tested", said Leon. "Then please, I would like to get out of this wretched bed sometime soon cause I really have to pee right now, so ask a nurse or doctor to give you one of those, I dont know what they are.. Those shoe-like things", I said to him quietly. Leon left my side upon my request quickly and gracefully and set out to find the nurse..
I stared at the cieling feeling so helpless because I was confined to this damned bed and couldn't even get up to take a piss. I began to get antsy as Leon wasn't back yet, and I had to pee really badly. I was not about to go back to the days of when I was five, so I sat up and threw my right leg over the railing. "So far so good", I murmured to myself. This was the moment that my left leg would get its first test run.. I threw my left leg over the side as it dangled adjacent to my right leg that was already against the hard, tile flooring waiting to support my now very lean wieght. At first, I stood balancing atop my right leg, knowing that it had never failed me before; its failure wouldn't be allowed today, especially now when I needed it most.
I counted to three and stood abruptly on both legs hoping that they wouldnt crumple beneath me. But to my great displeasure, my knees buckled inward awkwardly and I nearly fell flat onto my face. I would have fallen down if I hadn't abruptly grabbed the railing of the my bed to stabalize myself. As I awkwardly wobbled to the bathroom, I had to bring the IV pole with me as well, but how I would do that, I had no idea. I needed both hands to stabalize myself just to get to the bathroom. So how would I drag that nuisance of a pole with me? It wasn't an easy task, but through painfully dragging it along with me and wobbling to the bathroom, it all had paid off, I had made the long trek to the bathroom and finally reached my destination.
As I sat on the all-mighty porcelain throne, I sighed with relief as I now felt relatively relaxed. I heard a clink of the doorknob to my room. From the sound of the constant rattling of the knob I could tell whoever was trying to get in was either retarded, or wasnt the best to wait around for to see who, or what walks into the door. I didnt want to take my chances, so through the buckling of my legs and searing pain, I put on what clothes I could find that would fit. Surprisingly my family had prepaired me with everything, getting something of every size so I would have something to fit when I had awoken.
As I sifted through the clothes, a large, rough object caught my attention. There hidden amongst my clothes, was a colt .45 handgun.. Two of them in fact! These guns weren't fake either, they were the real mind blowing deal. As I scrambled through the rest of the clothes I found a double holstered belt. I quickly latched it on as fast as I could and ripped the IV from my arm. I had to act fast, or else I would bleed to death. Under the bathroom sink was some gauge wrap and I quicky wrapped my arm up tight to stop the bleeding, making sure not to forget to put some antibiotics on it before I wrapped it. I paused for a second and listened. It was eerily quiet, to quiet in fact. I heard the loud monotone of the IV monitor with its sensors going crazy. I locked the bathroom door and stepped into the bathtub making sure to have my back against the wall. Suddenly, there was the ear-piercing sound of an explosion, although I couldn't pinpoint where it had come from.
The hospital fell dead silent like it had been abandoned. I heard a loud CRASH as something of a rather large size impacted my room door. My heart was racing, I had no idea what to expect to come through the door and I couldnt take my chances to investigate. With another loud CRASH I heard the door shatter into bits along with a loud roar of some sort. It sounded vaguely human, but yet animal. I cocked my handguns and prepaired for the worst. I stood as best I could on my feeble legs. There was another final crash as the bathroom door shattered into pieces. Splinters flew everywhere and there standing in the doorway was a surgeon. His arms were bloodied up to the nook of his elbow, and his face was crusted with dry blood. His eyes were so blood-shot that they had partially rolled back into his head. He made an attempt to lunge at me but I was already ready for him. Within a matter of seconds it was all over with one lucky shot. With the faith of whatever gods had helped me, I managed to score a bullet right inbetween his eyes, killing him in the instant. Something wasn't right here and I wasnt about to stay.
Through my peripheral vision, I saw another figure, I readily aimed my guns again incase it was another person in the same state as the surgeon. To my hearts relief, it was Leon! In his hand he had two boot-like leg supports. I could tell from his expression that he was glad I made it to the bathroom but something else told me that we couldn't stay there. I put the boots on as fast as I could and to my great pleasure they helped kill the pain in my legs, but they still felt feeble and weak. I handed a gun to Leon as I wraped my arm around him, as he led me into the hallway. There was no one in sight. The place suddenly felt like a ghost town, which caused my heart to race even more. I was panicing, I squirmed within Leon's grip as I softly cried that it was all a dream and that I would just wake up in his arms. He shoke me back and forth and quietly whispered to me, "If you dont calm down and stay quiet we are both going to die here!" ,he said. I instantly shut up but couldn't help the tears from streaming from my eyes. Leon kissed me and held me close to his heart and said: "I will never let anything bad happen to you while I'm around to protect you". The warm tone in his voice instantly caused me to stop crying and get my head in the game. I peered around each corner like I was impersonating a secret agent; handgun at the ready, with Leon watching my back.
Playing it smart and remembering all of the horror games I had played, I advised Leon to take the stairs to avoid the sound of the elevator bringing unwanted company. When we reached the bottom there was a large freezer with a large lever for a lock. It was bound to be safe to stay in for the night. The power was out in the freezer so it was relatively warm. Leon and I shut ourselves up tight in the freezer with a small lantern dimmly lit so we could see. There was a large deadbolt lock with the key still within it laying on the floor. Leon instantly grabbed it and attached it to our now secure freezer. We carefully inspected each corner of the freezer to ensure there wasnt any unwanted company already inside. We finally fell asleep with the lantern blown out, and both of us with arms tightly wraped around each other. This was the only night that we had ever slept together in such close proximity in all our years of dating. It was extremely hard for us to sleep that night, as we could hear the loud roars of whatever creatures were out there, that had suffered the fate of the surgeon. But the most blood curdling noise that we heard that night, was the screaming of innocent people, that like us, had avoided the fate of the surgeon. When I was finally able to drift to sleep, I could feel Leon's grip around me tighten as he was slowly drifting to sleep as well. I turned over and pulled him closer so he could have his arms around me even more than before and have a more secure feeling that I wasnt about to be stolen away from him... With Leon's arms around me and the soothing warmth of his breath on my neck, I fell asleep happily dreaming of us, as a future mother and father, without the world being infested with the screams of the innocents...
This is the start of my days of survival..
12/3/09 (Day one of surviving the incident)
This journal, a gift to me from Leon is now all I have left, other than him, to hold myself together.. I was only just yesterday, that the histeria began.. What began as my long expected day of waking from the coma I was in, and the brightening of Leon's 26th birthday, turned into hell within minutes of my waking..
Ten years ago.. Leon and I had only been dating for one year and were on the brink of our anniversary when it all happened within seconds.. I was riding through the bustling city of Tucson on my new "Rice Burner" as I called it through the city going at about 115mph with 50 miles to a gallon; I was good to go. The traffic light ahead of me that marked the calm intersection flickered green as I sped at top speed across. However as reckless as I was and as as fast as I had been going, the driver still had not seen me in time. A large semi truck pummeled into me directly from my left side hurling me into the corner stop sign, not only breaking my left leg, but knocking me unconscience. All I can remember at that point was the long, white hallways, blurred vision and the chatter of indistinct voices around me. After that, dark, black emptiness. The only feeling I remembered was the best of them all even if it wasn't real. Whilst I was in the swirling black hole of my conscience, I could feel the warm, soothing feeling, of whenever Leon joined his hand with mine,even though I was unable to respond... But the day of my waking had yet to come.. That day was December 2nd, 2009, the day of the explosion....
As I look back to December 2nd, 2009, I can only remember the still silence that started it all..
12/2/09 (The day of the explosion, the day before day one of survival)
My ears pricked as I could hear Leon's voice softly whispering to me, hoping that I would hear the gentle, loving tone in his voice and wake up. I couldnt believe it... This time I actually was able to subconsciously regain control of my body as my eyes slowly eased open to a very calm, soft-lit room with the door closed and locked up for the night. I peered over the edge of the tall rails of my bed and to my delight, there laying atop the rail was Leon looking deep into my eyes with tears of gratitude that I had come back to him...
As I took a small amount of time to ask Leon to fill me in on everything that has happened , Leon climed over the railing and layed beside me.. "You look so beautiful my dearest Shay", he said. Having been in the long coma that I was in, I had no idea how I appeared to the world now..I couldnt help peering down at my left leg as I felt a sharp jolt of pain searing through it. Wrapped around my leg was a bright, neon-green cast that cleary marked that my leg had not fully healed over the ten years I had been in the coma. "Since you weren't awake, the doctors couldn't test your leg with weight on it so the bones are still feeble and weak, but have mended and are ready to be tested", said Leon. "Then please, I would like to get out of this wretched bed sometime soon cause I really have to pee right now, so ask a nurse or doctor to give you one of those, I dont know what they are.. Those shoe-like things", I said to him quietly. Leon left my side upon my request quickly and gracefully and set out to find the nurse..
I stared at the cieling feeling so helpless because I was confined to this damned bed and couldn't even get up to take a piss. I began to get antsy as Leon wasn't back yet, and I had to pee really badly. I was not about to go back to the days of when I was five, so I sat up and threw my right leg over the railing. "So far so good", I murmured to myself. This was the moment that my left leg would get its first test run.. I threw my left leg over the side as it dangled adjacent to my right leg that was already against the hard, tile flooring waiting to support my now very lean wieght. At first, I stood balancing atop my right leg, knowing that it had never failed me before; its failure wouldn't be allowed today, especially now when I needed it most.
I counted to three and stood abruptly on both legs hoping that they wouldnt crumple beneath me. But to my great displeasure, my knees buckled inward awkwardly and I nearly fell flat onto my face. I would have fallen down if I hadn't abruptly grabbed the railing of the my bed to stabalize myself. As I awkwardly wobbled to the bathroom, I had to bring the IV pole with me as well, but how I would do that, I had no idea. I needed both hands to stabalize myself just to get to the bathroom. So how would I drag that nuisance of a pole with me? It wasn't an easy task, but through painfully dragging it along with me and wobbling to the bathroom, it all had paid off, I had made the long trek to the bathroom and finally reached my destination.
As I sat on the all-mighty porcelain throne, I sighed with relief as I now felt relatively relaxed. I heard a clink of the doorknob to my room. From the sound of the constant rattling of the knob I could tell whoever was trying to get in was either retarded, or wasnt the best to wait around for to see who, or what walks into the door. I didnt want to take my chances, so through the buckling of my legs and searing pain, I put on what clothes I could find that would fit. Surprisingly my family had prepaired me with everything, getting something of every size so I would have something to fit when I had awoken.
As I sifted through the clothes, a large, rough object caught my attention. There hidden amongst my clothes, was a colt .45 handgun.. Two of them in fact! These guns weren't fake either, they were the real mind blowing deal. As I scrambled through the rest of the clothes I found a double holstered belt. I quickly latched it on as fast as I could and ripped the IV from my arm. I had to act fast, or else I would bleed to death. Under the bathroom sink was some gauge wrap and I quicky wrapped my arm up tight to stop the bleeding, making sure not to forget to put some antibiotics on it before I wrapped it. I paused for a second and listened. It was eerily quiet, to quiet in fact. I heard the loud monotone of the IV monitor with its sensors going crazy. I locked the bathroom door and stepped into the bathtub making sure to have my back against the wall. Suddenly, there was the ear-piercing sound of an explosion, although I couldn't pinpoint where it had come from.
The hospital fell dead silent like it had been abandoned. I heard a loud CRASH as something of a rather large size impacted my room door. My heart was racing, I had no idea what to expect to come through the door and I couldnt take my chances to investigate. With another loud CRASH I heard the door shatter into bits along with a loud roar of some sort. It sounded vaguely human, but yet animal. I cocked my handguns and prepaired for the worst.

A Story I Wrote in 8th Grade That I actually Finished
The Swift Winds of Loyalty (realistic comic version)
Summary:
Two friends live it out livin the good life with no worries until I-Corp Industries begins with their idea for immortality to all human life testing on human patients in secrecy under government eyes illegally whilst a large meteor is heading toward Earth and is said to be the one that ends us all. Earth only has a matter of weeks before it is destroyed into oblivion.
Story:
The scene is quiet, a normal day in the bustling city of Takohoama (tack O’ Home AH). There we find Cheh at her house feeding her two goldfish Ramon and Bessie like she does every day since she got them. The phone rings. It is her friend Kmart, her best friend since the first grade. “Hey Cheh”, said Kmart. “Do you want to go check out that new hospital they’re building out on highway 120?” said Kmart. “Is that what it’s gonna be?” said Cheh. “Yes, at least I think so” said Kmart. “Ok sure I’ll come!” said Cheh. “Hey maybe if we’re lucky, we could get a job there when they open, don’t ya think?” said Kmart enthusiastically. “Ya I think that would be a great idea!” said Cheh. The two friends ended their conversation and began to trek out to meet each other to check out the new hospital.
The friends finally meet each other at the construction site and begin to take their own little tour of the building. Just as they were about to walk into some of the more heavier worked on areas a voice sounded behind them. “Hey you kids can’t be out here!!!!” said the voice. The two whirred around to look who was referring to them when they saw a fully suited man wearing what looked like what they call ‘business shades’ with an ill and angered look on his face. They turned to run from the man only to find him in hot pursuit. They took many rights and many lefts but finally they began to feel the effects of fatigue when the man finally caught up to them. He muttered a curse under his breath as soon as he caught up to the friends also feeling symptoms of exhaustion. He began to speak with many gasps for air in between words: “You*gasp*kids can’t*gasp*be out*gasp*here” he said. “We only wanted to look around” admitted Kmart. “I don’t care what you two were trying to do you two could get hurt out here!!!” he said angrily. “Come take your little tour when the hospital is open.” He said with a wheeze. Cheh and Kmart then decided to head back towards home and over to Cheh’s house for some lunch.
Three weeks passed, and the hospital was finally open for business when the two returned in search of a job. “Hey Cheh”, said Kmart. “Do you think we will see that abnormal guy again?” “I hope not, that guy gave me the creeps!!” said Cheh. “Well let’s forget about him and let’s go get ourselves a job!!” said Kmart. So the two finally headed into the hospital courageously filled with curiosity at what would happen next. The two headed towards the desk clerk and asked for some information. “So what can I do for you ladies today?” said the clerk. “Oh nothing much we just wanted to know if we could apply for a job here” said Kmart. “Well have you two ever been to medical school?” said the clerk. “Yeah, uh we have about a year ago” said Cheh trying to lie as best she could. “I suppose I could get you in as interns that way you can remember some of the medical terms you probably learned in medical school” said the clerk not seeing through the lie. “Great! When can we start!?” said Kmart excitedly. “Well it looks like Dr. Richards here can give you a tour of the hospital since he is on break right now” said the clerk. “Would that be ok Dr. Richards? Since you are on you break?” said the clerk. “That’s fine with me” replied a man who looked strangely familiar. “Well, now where are the two I am to escort?” said Dr. Richards.
The two switched glances from each other to the man that was going to be their escort. He was a hunk!!!!! He had brown eyes with a twinkle of charisma in them. His face was smooth and a natural peach color. His hair was short but shaggy styled. It was also a brown color, more of a chestnut hue to be precise. From how well his clothes fit, the girls could tell he had a muscular body.
The two snapped back into reality as the doctor was repetitively saying hello and waving his hand in front of their eyes. The doctor chuckled and said: “Hehe I get that a lot.” The two girls in embarrassment shuffled to their feet and stood like nothing ever happened. He chuckled again and said: “Well let’s get moving, we have so much to see here at the hospital just waiting to be seen!”
The doctor and the girls began their tour of the hospital where they saw the ER and most of some of doctors’ personal offices. Their tour was just about over when Kmart asked the doctor where the bathroom was and if he could escort her there. When the two returned, Kmart had a very strange look in her eyes. Cheh began to wonder if she had missed out on anything.
Their tour ended and the two went home. They were excited; they were going to start as interns the next day come dawn. But for now they would stay at Cheh’s house. The sun rose but Kmart was already awake. Cheh was so surprised at how bright and early Kmart had gotten up; she began to think Kmart had a candy bar before she went to sleep last night. “Dear god, she thought. Today is going to be a long day.”
After they finished eating breakfast and changing into their work clothes, they set off to work. “Hey Fred how ya doing today?” said the two girls to the doorman as they entered the hospital. “Just fine ladies,” he replied. The two walked swiftly to their desks and awaited Dr. Richard’s arrival.
When Dr. Richards finally arrived, the two girls were playing paper football to occupy their time. “So are my two interns ready for their first day?” said Dr. Richards. Kmart and Cheh sprung out of their chair with an excited look on their face. They couldn’t wait to start!
Dr. Richards led Kmart and Cheh through many hallways to help him measure patients blood pressure, heart rate etc. It was now lunch time so Kmart and Cheh headed towards the main lounge to get something to eat. They sat down and turned on the TV to the news only to find some shocking information.
The girls watched as the TV reporter was gathering questions from a guy who looked a lot similar to Dr. Richards. What the reporter said next shocked them. “So Dr. Richards, having formed I-Corp what is your next motive?” “Well, he said. I-Corp Industries plans to improve our methods of finding out a way to human immortality. Our research has now found a way to give humans the much sought after immortality.” “Now Dr, if may ask, about how many people will die in the process to immortality?” “Based on our information, only about 20 out of billions of people will die.” “WOW, that few Dr.? One would think that being sought after, that more people would have died in the process” said the reporter. “Well, I-Corp Industries has gone well beyond all research has ever come close to!” said the Dr. proudly.
The girls continued to watch as breaking news hit the screen like wildfire. The reporter sounded frantic as he handed it over to local astronomers reporting live on “Oblivion” the meteor’s status. “Now to local astronomers reporting live from the observatory” stuttered the reporter. “Astronomers here, reporting to you live from our observatory on our latest meteor action.” “Oblivion has now gained some speed as a meteor shower gave her and unwanted boost. Our time to live has now shortened to about half a week starting today. Our Dooms Day will be on the brink of the end of night on Thursday, and the beginning of dawn on Friday. We die at midnight at the end of the week.”
Cheh turned off the TV and glanced at Kmart. “We only have three and a half days to live?” said Kmart. “I guess so” said Cheh with a saddened look in her eyes. The two hugged and sobbed knowing that they would never see each other again when the meteor hit. The girls began to talk in whisper; “Hey Kmart, we are going to have to watch Dr. Richards” said Cheh. “His whole thing on immortality scared the crap outta me!” “How can you mistrust Dr. Richards Cheh!!!!!?” “Cant you see that he is up to something Kmart!!?” “Why cant you just see that I have a thing for him Cheh!?”
There was a sudden silence. “I am sorry to hear that Kmart but I don’t trust him.” Just then they heard footsteps approaching the lounge. They flew into the couches and flipped the TV on to cartoons and began trying to look natural. Dr. Richards walked into the room. “So are you two ready to get started? I have a special job for you two.”
“Yes, Dr. Richards. We would like to proceed.” “Very well, follow me.” The two followed him as he began to go down numerous corridors and a flight of stairs. “Um, doctor, where are we going exactly?” said Cheh uneasily. “We are going to prepare you to be a fully-fledged member. In other words, this will be your initiation to the medical world.”
He then walked into a dark room on the other side of a corresponding hallway. The girls followed him as instructed to. They turned sharply as the door shut behind them and they were shrouded in darkness. They were quickly bound with some kind of rope and thrown on the floor. They called desperately for Dr. Richards to help them but no help came.
In a split second they could feel some kind of tentacles wrapping around their legs. They screamed as it seared some skin off. Then, they could feel them going up their skirts grabbing their waists holding them down. Both blacked out and didn’t awaken.
Cheh awoke with a start only to find herself strapped to a stretcher. She turned her head only to see Kmart in the same predicament only that her stomach was like a basketball under her shirt. She quickly flashed her eyes to her own stomach it hadn’t changed what so ever. She wondered what could have happened to Kmart to make her like that.
“So you’ve awakened now Cheh” said a voice from behind. Dr. Richards appeared from the shadows. “YOU!!!!!!!” screamed Cheh. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US!!!?” “A little research little guinny pig” said the Dr. “TELL ME OR I SWEAR THAT WHEN I BREAK OUTTA THIS I WILL UNLEASH MY ENTIRE WRATH UPON YOU!!!!” “Your experiment failed but hers…He said looking at Kmart… was successful.” “Now all I need is to wait.” He left the room and Cheh could hear his footsteps leading away from the room. This was her chance to escape she thought. She looked down; she was still wearing her uniform. “YES!” she thought.
Cheh reached into her back pocket of her skirt and pulled out a tiny pocket knife. “Now if only I could get my arm out.” She squirmed in the stretcher and finally her arm broke free. She started immediately at her bindings and as soon as she was out she stood up and stretched. She wanted to be rid of this place. She tore at her uniform ripping it revealing a cute tee-shirt, a pair of capris, and a pair of pistols strapped tightly to her belt.
She saw Kmart was still unconscious and began at her bindings. When they were cut, she slung Kmart’s unconscious body over her shoulder. She strained over Kmart’s over bearing weight but pressed on. She went out the door and out into the hallway. She peered over the corner. The hall was empty, completely empty. The hall now had and eerie silence befall it. She took off her nurse shoes and socks. She was now barefooted but silent. She looked to the ceilings no cameras either. “Hmm, what could he be planning?”
She ran towards the other door frantic with fright. She flung the door open and continued to run Kmart’s weight still bearing down on her. She dared not look back, for she feared what might be following her. She found the door to the stairs and began to climb. “If only I could get to the lobby” she thought. She continued to climb her knees trying desperately to give way to fatigue but pressed on.
She saw the door to the control room and figured she could rest there for it might be safe. She flung the door open and removed a pistol with her free hand. She went and locked the door behind her. She crept around the room looking for danger. When the coast was clear she hid Kmart and herself in the nearby closet. She locked that too from the inside to be safe. She checked on Kmart she was awakening finally. “Ugh. How long have I been out of it?” she said. “I don’t know, a few hours perhaps.” “Where’s Dr, Richards?” “He isn’t here right now, he is the cause of all this.” “Really?” said Kmart. “Yes, he is. Now have this I think you will need it.” Cheh reached into the back of her shirt and pulled out a third hidden pistol and handed it to Kmart.
“I don’t know what’s out there, but I do know it’s not safe.” “Use it wisely I don’t sprout bullets ya know.” Just then they heard a loud thud! A growl came from outside. Silently, Cheh raised her finger above her lips to silence Kmart. The growl sounded like something out-of-the-ordinary. Cheh and Kmart now heard foot steps; the thing was definitely four-legged. There was a small slit in the wall. Cheh peered through it to see what they’d be facing. They looked the size of a Great Dane, as slender as a grey hound, and frothing at the mouth. They were grey to black in color and had medium sized heads. They looked like a cross between a rat and a dog.
Cheh grabbed her two pistols in her hands while Kmart did the same with her pistol. Cheh kicked the door open and leapt out of the closet and began shooting the creatures in midair. She landed and gave each a shot to the brain. She wanted to ensure they were dead. She turned to Kmart and said: “Can you run!?” “Ya I think so” she replied. Cheh quickly stood in the door frame that was broken when those creatures entered and she told Kmart to access the computer monitors to preview the security cams. “Hey Cheh, we’d better start running” she said sounding frantic. “More of those things are coming up through the East Wing.” “Ok, said Cheh. Then we will go through the West Wing.” “We shouldn’t do that Cheh. The West Wing is crawling with them.” “I think we should—her sentence was cut short when she cried: “LOOK OUT CHEH!!!!!” Cheh turned to see another one of those things right in front of her. Pistols still in hand, Cheh leapt backwards and shot the thing deader than a squished bug.
“CHEH ER TO LOBBY WILL BE THE SAFEST WAY!!” “Ok Kmart I trust you.” “Cheh lead the way!” With Cheh leading the way Kmart and Cheh raced up stairs through hallways and into another control room. Kmart check the screens! Gotcha Cheh, sure thing! Cheh stood guns at the ready at the closed door incase those rat/dog-things were coming. Suddenly Cheh heard Kmart gasp. She too saw what popped up, the meteor was about to hit in an hour! She also saw Dr. Richards returning to their holding room. He saw them missing and went frantic. He was running in circles almost. Cheh and Kmart looked and saw more and more rat-things were around their area. They would have to take a new way.
THE VENTS!!! Cheh thought. She lifted herself up and gave Kmart a boost in. They crawled all the way until they reached a dead end right above a room connected to the lobby. They dropped down, peering around them for any sight of danger. They reloaded their pistol and pistols and walked into the lobby. There they saw the mangled still-living Dr. Richards waiting for them. “YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD JUST GET AWAY YOU LITTLE BRATS!!!!” he spat. “YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS PLACE!!!!” “IN A MATTER OF TIME THAT SQUID WILL COME OUT OF HER!!!! He pointed to Kmart. Then Cheh began a nifty little set of flips and cart-wheels. “CARTWHEELS AND HOPSCOTCH CANNOT HELP YOU HERE!!!!!” Cheh landed her routine right behind the Dr. and lifted her hand and put a bullet in his brain. “I was getting REAL tired of his attitude!” said Cheh as she as Kmart left the building.
There they saw the horrifying body of Fred the doorman through one of the windows. “We can’t just leave him there!!!” screamed Kmart. Cheh then shot out the window and stood in a trance like state. “Hey Kmart, I remember this place even though I haven’t been here before.” “What? How!” “You and I died here.” The words hit Kmart like rocks. “How is that possible?” “We were mice in a previous life. And this very same event occurred.” “After the Earth blew up the Earth reformed and we started over, but this time as humans.” “Creepy Cheh, very creepy.” “How much time do we have left Kmart?” “About 5 seconds.” The two friends sat in the center of the room and hugged each other. Both were crying and sobbing their last sob.
Oblivion hit the Earth and the Earth shattered blowing up into billions of pieces killing everyone on Earth and the creatures that lived there, only to be reborn yet again when the Earth merged as one again. And as for Cheh and Kmart’s future after the Earth reformed… They would meet again and still be the best of friends almost like sisters…
-The End

They turned to run from the man only to find him in hot pursuit. They took many rights and many lefts but finally they began to feel the effects of fatigue when the man finally caught up to them. He muttered a curse under his breath as soon as he caught up to the friends also feeling symptoms of exhaustion. He began to speak with many gasps for air in between words: “You*gasp*kids can’t*gasp*be out*gasp*here” he said. “We only wanted to look around” admitted Kmart. “I don’t care what you two were trying to do you two could get hurt out here!!!” he said angrily. “Come take your little tour when the hospital is open.” He said with a wheeze. Cheh and Kmart then decided to head back towards home and over to Cheh’s house for some lunch.
Three weeks passed, and the hospital was finally open for business when the two returned in search of a job. “Hey Cheh”, said Kmart. “Do you think we will see that abnormal guy again?” “I hope not, that guy gave me the creeps!!” said Cheh. “Well let’s forget about him and let’s go get ourselves a job!!” said Kmart. So the two finally headed into the hospital courageously filled with curiosity at what would happen next. The two headed towards the desk clerk and asked for some information. “So what can I do for you ladies today?” said the clerk. “Oh nothing much we just wanted to know if we could apply for a job here” said Kmart. “Well have you two ever been to medical school?” said the clerk. “Yeah, uh we have about a year ago” said Cheh trying to lie as best she could. “I suppose I could get you in as interns that way you can remember some of the medical terms you probably learned in medical school” said the clerk not seeing through the lie. “Great! When can we start!?” said Kmart excitedly. “Well it looks like Dr. Richards here can give you a tour of the hospital since he is on break right now” said the clerk. “Would that be ok Dr. Richards? Since you are on you break?” said the clerk. “That’s fine with me” replied a man who looked strangely familiar. “Well, now where are the two I am to escort?” said Dr. Richards.
The two switched glances from each other to the man that was going to be their escort. He was a hunk!!!!! He had brown eyes with a twinkle of charisma in them. His face was smooth and a natural peach color. His hair was short but shaggy styled. It was also a brown color, more of a chestnut hue to be precise. From how well his clothes fit, the girls could tell he had a muscular body.
The two snapped back into reality as the doctor was repetitively saying hello and waving his hand in front of their eyes. The doctor chuckled and said: “Hehe I get that a lot.” The two girls in embarrassment shuffled to their feet and stood like nothing ever happened. He chuckled again and said: “Well let’s get moving, we have so much to see here at the hospital just waiting to be seen!”
The doctor and the girls began their tour of the hospital where they saw the ER and most of some of doctors’ personal offices. Their tour was just about over when Kmart asked the doctor where the bathroom was and if he could escort her there. When the two returned, Kmart had a very strange look in her eyes. Cheh began to wonder if she had missed out on anything.
Their tour ended and the two went home. They were excited; they were going to start as interns the next day come dawn. But for now they would stay at Cheh’s house. The sun rose but Kmart was already awake. Cheh was so surprised at how bright and early Kmart had gotten up; she began to think Kmart had a candy bar before she went to sleep last night. “Dear god, she thought. Today is going to be a long day.”
After they finished eating breakfast and changing into their work clothes, they set off to work. “Hey Fred how ya doing today?” said the two girls to the doorman as they entered the hospital. “Just fine ladies,” he replied. The two walked swiftly to their desks and awaited Dr. Richard’s arrival.
When Dr. Richards finally arrived, the two girls were playing paper football to occupy their time. “So are my two interns ready for their first day?” said Dr. Richards. Kmart and Cheh sprung out of their chair with an excited look on their face. They couldn’t wait to start!
Dr. Richards led Kmart and Cheh through many hallways to help him measure patients blood pressure, heart rate etc. It was now lunch time so Kmart and Cheh headed towards the main lounge to get something to eat. They sat down and turned on the TV to the news only to find some shocking information.
The girls watched as the TV reporter was gathering questions from a guy who looked a lot similar to Dr. Richards. What the reporter said next shocked them. “So Dr. Richards, having formed I-Corp what is your next motive?” “Well, he said. I-Corp Industries plans to improve our methods of finding out a way to human immortality. Our research has now found a way to give humans the much sought after immortality.” “Now Dr, if may ask, about how many people will die in the process to immortality?” “Based on our information, only about 20 out of billions of people will die.” “WOW, that few Dr.? One would think that being sought after, that more people would have died in the process” said the reporter. “Well, I-Corp Industries has gone well beyond all research has ever come close to!” said the Dr. proudly.
The girls continued to watch as breaking news hit the screen like wildfire. The reporter sounded frantic as he handed it over to local astronomers reporting live on “Oblivion” the meteor’s status. “Now to local astronomers reporting live from the observatory” stuttered the reporter. “Astronomers here, reporting to you live from our observatory on our latest meteor action.” “Oblivion has now gained some speed as a meteor shower gave her and unwanted boost. Our time to live has now shortened to about half a week starting today. Our Dooms Day will be on the brink of the end of night on Thursday, and the beginning of dawn on Friday. We die at midnight at the end of the week.”
Cheh turned off the TV and glanced at Kmart. “We only have three and a half days to live?” said Kmart. “I guess so” said Cheh with a saddened look in her eyes. The two hugged and sobbed knowing that they would never see each other again when the meteor hit. The girls began to talk in whisper; “Hey Kmart, we are going to have to watch Dr. Richards” said Cheh. “His whole thing on immortality scared the crap outta me!” “How can you mistrust Dr. Richards Cheh!!!!!?” “Cant you see that he is up to something Kmart!!?” “Why cant you just see that I have a thing for him Cheh!?”
There was a sudden silence. “I am sorry to hear that Kmart but I don’t trust him.” Just then they heard footsteps approaching the lounge. They flew into the couches and flipped the TV on to cartoons and began trying to look natural. Dr. Richards walked into the room. “So are you two ready to get started? I have a special job for you two.”
“Yes, Dr. Richards. We would like to proceed.” “Very well, follow me.” The two followed him as he began to go down numerous corridors and a flight of stairs. “Um, doctor, where are we going exactly?” said Cheh uneasily. “We are going to prepare you to be a fully-fledged member. In other words, this will be your initiation to the medical world.”
He then walked into a dark room on the other side of a corresponding hallway. The girls followed him as instructed to. They turned sharply as the door shut behind them and they were shrouded in darkness. They were quickly bound with some kind of rope and thrown on the floor. They called desperately for Dr. Richards to help them but no help came.
In a split second they could feel some kind of tentacles wrapping around their legs. They screamed as it seared some skin off. Then, they could feel them going up their skirts grabbing their waists holding them down. Both blacked out and didn’t awaken.
Cheh awoke with a start only to find herself strapped to a stretcher. She turned her head only to see Kmart in the same predicament only that her stomach was like a basketball under her shirt. She quickly flashed her eyes to her own stomach it hadn’t changed what so ever. She wondered what could have happened to Kmart to make her like that.
“So you’ve awakened now Cheh” said a voice from behind. Dr. Richards appeared from the shadows. “YOU!!!!!!!” screamed Cheh. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US!!!?” “A little research little guinny pig” said the Dr. “TELL ME OR I SWEAR THAT WHEN I BREAK OUTTA THIS I WILL UNLEASH MY ENTIRE WRATH UPON YOU!!!!” “Your experiment failed but hers…He said looking at Kmart… was successful.” “Now all I need is to wait.” He left the room and Cheh could hear his footsteps leading away from the room. This was her chance to escape she thought. She looked down; she was still wearing her uniform. “YES!” she thought.
Cheh reached into her back pocket of her skirt and pulled out a tiny pocket knife. “Now if only I could get my arm out.” She squirmed in the stretcher and finally her arm broke free. She started immediately at her bindings and as soon as she was out she stood up and stretched. She wanted to be rid of this place. She tore at her uniform ripping it revealing a cute tee-shirt, a pair of capris, and a pair of pistols strapped tightly to her belt.
She saw Kmart was still unconscious and began at her bindings. When they were cut, she slung Kmart’s unconscious body over her shoulder. She strained over Kmart’s over bearing weight but pressed on. She went out the door and out into the hallway. She peered over the corner. The hall was empty, completely empty. The hall now had and eerie silence befall it. She took off her nurse shoes and socks. She was now barefooted but silent. She looked to the ceilings no cameras either. “Hmm, what could he be planning?”
She ran towards the other door frantic with fright. She flung the door open and continued to run Kmart’s weight still bearing down on her. She dared not look back, for she feared what might be following her. She found the door to the stairs and began to climb. “If only I could get to the lobby” she thought. She continued to climb her knees trying desperately to give way to fatigue but pressed on.
She saw the door to the control room and figured she could rest there for it might be safe. She flung the door open and removed a pistol with her free hand. She went and locked the door behind her. She crept around the room looking for danger. When the coast was clear she hid Kmart and herself in the nearby closet. She locked that too from the inside to be safe. She checked on Kmart she was awakening finally. “Ugh. How long have I been out of it?” she said. “I don’t know, a few hours perhaps.” “Where’s Dr, Richards?” “He isn’t here right now, he is the cause of all this.” “Really?” said Kmart. “Yes, he is. Now have this I think you will need it.” Cheh reached into the back of her shirt and pulled out a third hidden pistol and handed it to Kmart.
“I don’t know what’s out there, but I do know it’s not safe.” “Use it wisely I don’t sprout bullets ya know.” Just then they heard a loud thud! A growl came from outside. Silently, Cheh raised her finger above her lips to silence Kmart. The growl sounded like something out-of-the-ordinary. Cheh and Kmart now heard foot steps; the thing was definitely four-legged. There was a small slit in the wall. Cheh peered through it to see what they’d be facing. They looked the size of a Great Dane, as slender as a grey hound, and frothing at the mouth. They were grey to black in color and had medium sized heads. They looked like a cross between a rat and a dog.
Cheh grabbed her two pistols in her hands while Kmart did the same with her pistol. Cheh kicked the door open and leapt out of the closet and began shooting the creatures in midair. She landed and gave each a shot to the brain. She wanted to ensure they were dead. She turned to Kmart and said: “Can you run!?” “Ya I think so” she replied. Cheh quickly stood in the door frame that was broken when those creatures entered and she told Kmart to access the computer monitors to preview the security cams. “Hey Cheh, we’d better start running” she said sounding frantic. “More of those things are coming up through the East Wing.” “Ok, said Cheh. Then we will go through the West Wing.” “We shouldn’t do that Cheh. The West Wing is crawling with them.” “I think we should—her sentence was cut short when she cried: “LOOK OUT CHEH!!!!!” Cheh turned to see another one of those things right in front of her. Pistols still in hand, Cheh leapt backwards and shot the thing deader than a squished bug.
“CHEH ER TO LOBBY WILL BE THE SAFEST WAY!!” “Ok Kmart I trust you.” “Cheh lead the way!” With Cheh leading the way Kmart and Cheh raced up stairs through hallways and into another control room. Kmart check the screens! Gotcha Cheh, sure thing! Cheh stood guns at the ready at the closed door incase those rat/dog-things were coming. Suddenly Cheh heard Kmart gasp. She too saw what popped up, the meteor was about to hit in an hour! She also saw Dr. Richards returning to their holding room. He saw them missing and went frantic. He was running in circles almost. Cheh and Kmart looked and saw more and more rat-things were around their area. They would have to take a new way.
THE VENTS!!! Cheh thought. She lifted herself up and gave Kmart a boost in. They crawled all the way until they reached a dead end right above a room connected to the lobby. They dropped down, peering around them for any sight of danger. They reloaded their pistol and pistols and walked into the lobby. There they saw the mangled still-living Dr. Richards waiting for them. “YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD JUST GET AWAY YOU LITTLE BRATS!!!!” he spat. “YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS PLACE!!!!” “IN A MATTER OF TIME THAT SQUID WILL COME OUT OF HER!!!! He pointed to Kmart. Then Cheh began a nifty little set of flips and cart-wheels. “CARTWHEELS AND HOPSCOTCH CANNOT HELP YOU HERE!!!!!” Cheh landed her routine right behind the Dr. and lifted her hand and put a bullet in his brain. “I was getting REAL tired of his attitude!” said Cheh as she as Kmart left the building.
There they saw the horrifying body of Fred the doorman through one of the windows. “We can’t just leave him there!!!” screamed Kmart. Cheh then shot out the window and stood in a trance like state. “Hey Kmart, I remember this place even though I haven’t been here before.” “What? How!” “You and I died here.” The words hit Kmart like rocks. “How is that possible?” “We were mice in a previous life. And this very same event occurred.” “After the Earth blew up the Earth reformed and we started over, but this time as humans.” “Creepy Cheh, very creepy.” “How much time do we have left Kmart?” “About 5 seconds.” The two friends sat in the center of the room and hugged each other. Both were crying and sobbing their last sob.
Oblivion hit the Earth and the Earth shattered blowing up into billions of pieces killing everyone on Earth and the creatures that lived there, only to be reborn yet again when the Earth merged as one again. And as for Cheh and Kmart’s future after the Earth reformed… They would meet again and still be the best of friends almost like sisters…
