Last time I ever had a migraine was before the 9/11 attacks. Right before our timeline was changed in a drastic way. I began getting these very violent headaches, as if my mind were trying to tell me something. As if I was trying to tell myself something.
I sometimes felt guilty just ignoring these headaches, even though I was pretty sure it was just a coincidence.
But this time, I'm not ignoring it. I know it sounds dumb, just to jump out of bed during a migraine because I had a headache right before terrorist attacks. But you don't know how similar it felt as 5 years ago. It's like, in the exact same part of my head, just throbbing, telling me something is going to happen. Not that I could do anything about it. What's the point of a damned warning if I don't know what I'm being warned about or if I can't do anything about it.
When the terrorist attacks took place, RIGHT when the first plane crashed into one of the buildings, my headache just went away. It just left. It felt as if I was just about to experience Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis. And then, as I put my hands on my temples, it just went away, and the news came on.
That's exactly how I feel right now. I feel as if though something is going to happen again. And I actually kinda wish something does happen, I wouldn't want to just get this random headache out of nowhere.
And that's when I begin to feel as if my head is about to explode, I turn on the T.V like I did 5 years ago... and my headache was gone.
"We have JUST received an amazing report of the recently deceased body of Kevin Albourn (picture to my left) has just woken up from his death. He has just woken up from his, but didn't speak or look around, all he did was walk up to his daughter, and bit her in the neck. He then grabbed off flesh from her stomach and began ripping and tearing. His family just stood there, more startled than anything else in the world as Faith Albourn was eaten by her father."
"We are getting more reports now about the same incidents going on at a funeral in Central Florida. Every body in the cemetary seemed to have just walked out of their graves, and are eating the flesh of everyone around them. I advise you to stay in your homes, lock all doors and windows, and (Yes? Hello?) we just recieved a report of one the bitten and killed bodies at the Central Florida funeral has just woken up and has been acting exactly as the others, eating the flesh of others. Same thing in a small town in New Jersey, we just recieved that a bitten teenager has woken up and begun attacking her mother. We are getting more and more reports of this right now, so I'd just like to sum up that you must keep those who have been bitten away from you. Isolate those who have been bitten, we-" And I turned off the T.V.
What if my sister's been bitten? What if my mom at work has been bitten, what if Steve has been bitten. My best friend since Primary school!
And that's when I got a phone call. It rang three times before I ran to the other side of my house and I picked it up. "Hello?" I asked on the reciever.
"Hello?"
"Brandon? It's Steve."
"Steve?! Did you see the news?!?!"
"Yeah, man! It's horrible! Everyone outside of my house are screaming like crazy and those dead assholes tried to get inside my house!"
"What happened?"
"They broke the door down and I busted it's head with a Stereo... but..."
"But what?"
"It's umm... it's nothing."
"Steve, did you get bitten?"
"I'm coming over. It's too messed up here."
"Okay, I gotta call my mother now."
"Later."
I hung up the phone, and my head began spinning, did Steve get bitten. And if he did, and he's coming over... won't he be a... dead dude, too? A zombie?
I picked up the phone again and called my mother from work.
"UPS, this is Sonia."
"Mom? This is Brandon! It's an emergency!"
"BRANDON! YOU HAVE TO GET-"
"I know! Mom, you stay there, I'll take care of myself, Steve is coming. I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"Brandon, the whole, your father, too. Your father is on a killing rampage like everyone else. I saw his body walking on the news. I-"
"Mom! I gotta call Nicole, I'll be careful, and you be careful, too."
"-Sobbing on the other line- I already called. She's alright. I was just about to call you."
"It's okay, Mom, I'm okay. I haven't been bitten, I have the doors locked and windows shut."
"Okay, please be careful!"
"Bye, Mom." And I hang up.
I was so glad she's okay, I needed to call Nicole now.
I picked up the phone, again, and called my sister on her cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Nicole, it's Brandon."
"Brandon, outside, there are like a million zombies!"
"Are you bitten?"
"Fuck no, I'm not letting those pieces of shits touch me."
"Okay, is Amanda or Veronia or anyone else hurt?"
"I don't know. Amanda has P.E., and Veronica is in Social Studies.
"Damn it! They should end classes already!"
"They did, they are there for 'safety' the P.A said."
"Well, come staright home when your done."
"OK, whatever."
"Nicole..."
"What?"
"Please don't get bitten."
And I hung up, and right then and there, I got a knock on my door... I reached for my baseball bat and held it on one hand as I walked slowly to the door. It's probably just Steve, but I'm not taking any chances. I put my hand on the doorknob, and twisted gently... opened the door, and there stood Steve.
"What's up with the bat?" He asked, with a small and unconvincing smile.
"Just get in here," I saw as I grabbed his arm and brought him into the house."
"Well, you're pretty welcoming. Don't I get anything?"
"Huh?"
"A weapon or anything like you? You looked pretty freaky there, ha!"
"Funny."
"So, what are we gonna do? I was watching the news a few minutes before I left and saw like a a thousand of those things walking in a crowd in Okeechobee Road."
I turned on the T.V, and saw what he meant. There were ALOT of those things! It looked like there were 1,000 of them in one square mile.
"Oh my fuck!" Yelled Steve as he looked at the T.V. I think we might need to go somewhere.
