"IT'S HORRIBLE, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. THEY ARE SPREADING ACROSS THE CITY, UNKNOWN CREATURES FEEDING ON THE FLESH OF THE ALIVE AND LIVING. LOCK YOUR ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS. PLEASE STAY AT HOME DO NOT GO OU-!" The TV blared the 10 o clock news.
I stared in horror as this thing, this monster, ripped through the flesh and muscle of the innocent T.V reporter. The monster just mindlessly eating away at the reporter's neck as the camera man drops the camera and the T.V goes blank as the camera crashes to the ground. Just before the impact you see more creature's endower this helpless reporter. Thing is, he is being eaten alive!
You look around in horror at what you have just seen. The blood. The flesh. The look on the reporters eyes as he feels the pain rushing through his body as it devours his flesh. I bet the last thing he thought was "I wonder if I will get to see my kids!" Then, the T.V comes to life. You see your local news reporter come on, and he looks terrified. He loosely holds a piece of paper in his trembling hands, and he says the following statement "At 10:05 PM....The Internet has attacked several major cities all over the world. There is nothing we can do." You see his shaking like a leaf, your eyes glued to the screen. "The world is in crisis, this virus; created by someone somewhere has been released. It is now.....Somehow, become real. I am afraid to say it." He breaks down, the tears streaming down his face as he looks into the camera and says these words, "We are all dead!"
It hit you like a ton of bricks. The remote falls to the floor as you sit their frozen to your living room couch. The news reporter exits the screen and the broadcast ends with the "Service is temporary unavailable!" You check other channels; the message keeps appearing over and over and over.
The world is in a state of panic.
You have to get prepared. If this virus is what the TV describes, it will wipe the whole earth's population out. Thing is....You're not going without a fight. Turning the TV off and running towards your door, you check it's locked. *Click* It is now. You run around your house aimlessly trying to lock every window and door within your house, *Click* after *Click after *Click*. You finally manage to lock every window and door in your house. Now what.....
Weapons, weapons, weapons.....You run upstairs to your fine collections of knifes the sharpest ones and the most decorative ones from around the world, never been used or touched by anyone else but yourself. You arm yourself to the teeth with them, strapping the leg holsters up and placing knifes in them. You're missing one thing though.....A shotgun! As your clamber up the dusty stairs to your, oh so dusty loft you flick the light on slowly. Wielding a FTP knife in your left hand and an OS in the other you slowly enter your roof hatch, being aware just in case.
The light flickers a few times and then stops to glow a bright white light. Luckily for you, the virus has not attempted to break into your house through your roof. You lower your weapons and scout around your dusty loft in search of a black metal box. The floorboards creak as your big heavy footsteps create prints in the dusty floor, then, just sat there, is the thing in which you wanted to find.
The black box is covered with dust. The locks are stiff and take some force to open. The dust goes everywhere as you shield your eyes, as the dust settles you take a look at what is in the box. Your grandfather's trusty HTML pump action shotgun. Last used in the 80's by yourself when you shot the neighbour's cat....Oooops.
THUD! "What the hell?" THUD! "No it can't be, not now." THUD! *Bzzzzrrrr* "Oh fuck" *Chick-chick* the shotgun reloads as you put more files into it.
*Smash* the sound of shattering glass reaches your ears as you know your fate. You say a quick prayer and jump down the hatch......You land with a thud.
You walk carefully through your house, hearing the crunch of glass below your feet and the faint shuffling of something. Clutching the weapon to your chest you see one....It's just stood there looking at you with its blank and bloody expression. You walk closer to it as you see its eyes move and follow you around the room, the numbers of information flowing through its pupils is immense as you try to figure out what it is doing.
It's....Downloading something....
It lunges at you. It catches you off guard as you're hurled to the floor. The scavenger has you pinned down, you can't move. The stench of the creature only makes you want to hurl. The skin of the creature peels off its face as it moves in to lick your face. The slava off its tongue burns your cheek. The taste of yourself registers as it goes in for the kill, you however, are not ready to become dinner.
The sharp, bloodyifed teeth move in on your neck. "FUCK YOU! YOU MINDLESS FLESH EATING BASTARD!" You shout as you manage to pull your weapon up and pull the trigger. The zombie cries the dial-up tone and you shield your ears, guts and blood still pouring out of the creature, until finally it disappears in a cloud of binary.
You shakily get up and make sure those teeth did not penetrate your skin. Whew, they didn't. *Smash* There goes another window, you see now how much these creatures want you, your still not giving up without a fight. You check where the smash cane from, running towards the patio doors.........Your stopped dead in your tracks.
The site that met your eyes only burned into your soul.
Hundreds.....Of those creatures.....Scraping your house, trying to get in, surrounding your house, *Smash* another one *Smash* What the hell? *Smash* these bastards are getting in any way possible. You try to run away from the patio doors and again....You're stopped in your tracks, you're surrounded. In the confined space of your dining room. You realise in the split second that you're not going to win, you can't win....but my god you will try!
Pulling out the OS you pull the cord....Your saying your last prayers as you prepare to die, these beings getting closer and closer....Then you do it. You slam the OS into the ground letting out a blinding flash, a white noise and impulses which rock the whole country. "FUCK YOU!" Were your last words you felt your body get ripped apart by this explosion.
No worries. You're in a better place now. The zombie horde was under control after the explosion. You sacrificed yourself for the human race......It doesn't matter....
We were all dead anyway.
