own.”
Matt took a last look at the couple and choked back the emotions. His hunger slowly returned and if he didn’t do something about it, he would surely share their fate, albeit, a bit more painful.
Matt closed the drapes and closed the door.
He wiped the last of his tears from his eyes.
“I gotta get out of here before it gets dark.” Matt paused
He heard a cough.
“What was that?” He brought the hockey stick up to his chest.
“These things don’t cough…”
The noise came from directly below him. It went from the single cough to full on crying.
Matt didn’t know what to do.
“Am I going crazy? Aren’t I the only person left?”
It had been a long, long time since Matt heard another voice that wasn’t calling for help.
“Hello, HELLO? Is there anyone up there?!” It was a muffled female voice. Matt knew the sound of desperation when he heard it.
Matt stood there in awe. What should he do? Should he go to her? The sound of her voice would surely attract unwanted attention. He couldn’t hold himself back. He needed human contact. It had been too long.
He left the apartment through the fire escape.
Road Trip
Jason and Dave were still a bit shaken up about what happened in the house. Dave, clutching the bat, looked at what was left of their hometown. The sky seemed to be permanently gray. The sun was out, but it wasn’t there. Maybe it, too, gave up on humanity.
Dave looked at the plumes of smoke rising to the sky and watched the limping forms moving about the roads.
Jason smiled a little bit, “I spy with my little eye…something beginning with the letter Z!”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Zombie?”
“Sounds about right.”
Both friends noticed that there were no cars on the road at all. Not even parked.
“This is kind of freaky, Jay. Where are all the cars?”
Jason stood quiet for a second.
“Well, maybe they all went to the mall, OR, while trying to skip town, they ran into THAT traffic jam…”
Jason motioned to the distant highway that led out of town, it was a bit far off, but they were able to see all the outlines of several cars, all stopped in their place.
Dave was able to make out a corpse that was on it’s knees and half eaten beginning to stir.
“Geez, Jay. Ever think, why is this happening here? Why couldn’t it be somewhere else? Why us?”
“I don’t know. All I know is that we have to get to the evacuation site and get the hell out of here.”
“You’re right. Do you think things will ever go back to the way they were before all of this?”
“America usually sorts all shit like this out, dude. I wish it were somewhere else, but before we think about that, we need to survive.”
“I’d like to think everything will go back to the way they used to be”, Dave replied. He looked out the window and saw a group of the creatures biting into a corpse. He was a bit concerned at how jaded he had become to the sight already. He thought of how it could have been him. He was lucky that he wasn’t alone in the house when the monster got inside, or else…
“Dave! We’re almost here! Look alive, man.”
“Alright.”
A few minutes later, the friends pulled into the mall parking lot. The huge lot was littered with zombies milling around. Some were missing arms, others were staring at the sky, and more were banging on a few of the cars that were in the parking lot.
Dave noticed movement inside of one of the cars.
Jason turned off the car and the sound of the engine going quiet had Dave look at the ignition key out of reflex. They both nodded at each other and stood in the car observing their surroundings.
Looking at the rear window, Dave noticed a silhouette of what
