Drip Drip
The Damn tap kept dripping at I tried to concentrate. I sighed as I tapped my pen anxiously on the table. The sound kept getting to me as the clock chimed loudly."Fuck!!!" I yelled as I slammed my journal shut. I stood up and walked to where the clock was and I took it and angrily ripped off the batteries."Chill doc" a familiar voice said behind me and I rolled my eyes."I'm being chill as possible Carter" I said walking back to my seat."Yeah sure" he chuckled as he walked to where I was and looked over my shoulder into my book." You know you haven't tried the test for today right?" He said which made me roll my eyes."Yes Carter I know and that's what I'm trying to do""By scribbling numbers?""How on earth are you a scientist again?" I asked and he chuckled."Well Goodluck Doc " he said as he walked out of the room. Sighing, I stood up and walked towards my drawer."Please work" I closed my eyes as I took out the syringe and walked to the door. I punched in the combination of the door and it buzzed opened. I walked towards the test subject and made sure it was well strapped in. I took the syringe and pressed it into the skin and I watched as the contents went into the subject."Oh please work" I said as I stepped back. 5minuites. I waited as I watched closely. 4 minuites and 30 seconds. I heard a grunt. The i watched as the subject began to shake. I ran out of the room and watched behind the glass as the subject shook and grunted. The relief I felt was surreal. I wanted to scream in happiness as I watched the subject's eyes begin to open ."Yes! Yes!" I said in delight but everything came to a stop. I sighed in pure frustration as I cursed beneath my breathe. I turned in defeat and walked back to my lab.Did I lock the door?. I guess I did.I took my jacket and walked out of the lab."Carter.. I'll be heading home" he lifted his head and pushed his glasses back."Another failed project huh?" I rolled my eyes."See you tomorrow Carter" I said as I walked out of the lab. As I walked, I could only see one thing. His face. Buzzzz.....Buzzzzzz..I slammed my hands on my side drawer as I sat up. Who the hell calls someone at... I looked at the clock on my side drawer. It's 2am. Oh my God."Hello" I said obviously pissed."Doctor.... Dakota... The project....the .." I heard a loud crash what the hell is happening"Carter!" I said but I kept hearing crashes and screams. What the hell!!. I jumped out of bed grabbed a coat and my keys and rushed out of my house. The lab was suspiciously quiet as I arrived. There were cars by the parking lot but no one was there. I quietly walked towards the building and opened the door. I nearly screamed from the sight before me.Everything was broken, trashed and disorganized. My while body froze as I looked at the floor. I walked into the first room and let out a gasp as I saw Otis my colleague covered in blood. Half of his face was chewed out and he insides where everywhere. I swallowed the vomit that rose in my throat as my eyes watered. What the hell happened.My whole body began to shake as I took more steps."Anyone....." I heard a low voice call. I quickly ram towards the voice and Carter was laying there half dead with his arm bleeding."Jesus Carter!!" I screamed as I looked at him. He looked pale very pale "oh my God..""Sh.... He will hear you.." he said slowly"Who?""The monster you created" he said with spite in his tone. "we warned you ..." He said"Carter I...""Emily Everyone is dead because of you " I began to cry."No I didn't...."Then I was sent flying to a wall. I screamed as my head collided with the strong wall behind me. I couldn't believe my eyes. My Husband was standing right in front of me covered in blood all rotten and with claws."John?" I said "it's me Emily..." Before I could say anything he let out a shrilling sound and everyone including carter began to grunt and walk towards me.t The where all dead but how... Unless... Zombies.He walked towards me and with a shrilling scream, he bit me on my neck and pulled out a judge chunk of meat. I couldn't feel the pain at all but then my vision began to turn red then all I could see was red.I suddenly became hungry and everything went red.Waking up seems to be the most difficult thing ever when you know you're definitely going to have a hangover. I groaned as I rolled to my side. My head felt like everest was resting on it. I brought my hands to my head and I felt it thudding. I cracked one eye opened and I saw the twin bed beside mine empty and I wasn't surprised at all l. I'm sure Elise must have gone home with some guys after the party. Well she practically abandoned me and I managed to find my way back to the hotel where I drank myself to sleep while binge watching "Friends". I looked up at the small wall clock above the door and it read 1: 45 pm so... She should be on her way home very soon I hope. And I'm sure she would have a long story to tell me about how she nearly died or nearly did anything illegal. And I'll give her the speech about how she could end up dead and make me face our parents alone and I'm not ready for that. My throat was dry and I didn't try to talk because I'm sure I'll curse in pain whic
The ride to the hospital was bumpy. A lot of cars where driving passed us in high speed and a lot of shops where being broken into in daylight damn things where getting bad really bad. "Shit this is like a fucking movie" Elise said as she stared out of her window with her eyes wide open. Gary was trying hard not to fall asleep mainly because we begged him not to. He won't die on me not here at least if we are at the hospital. Not like in hoping he would die or anything but just not here. "I know right" I said "shit!" I cursed as I nearly ran into a man covered in blood. "Gary you alright back there?" I said. "Yeah...... I'm... Good...." He said obviously tired."Just try to stay awake" Elise said. The road was filled with people who where either running or dying? I'm not sure but everything was happening too fast. Huffing and puffing, we finally made it to the hospital. That was the longest 10 minutes of my life. My head was spinning and I'm sure my legs where gonna give up an
"Ethel!!!" I heard my name but I couldn't move. I felt my heart beat faster. "Eth!!!" The voice screamed over the noise but I still couldn't move. An arm wrapped around mine as I felt tugging "Eth we have to leave!" She dragged me as I stumbled a bit finally feeling my legs. The stairs was crowded. We couldn't use the elevators because they where shut down. Bullets where flying everywhere and we had to leave now. We ran down the stairs which wasn't easy at all as everyone was trying to evacuate the building. Elise was right in front of me as she let go of my hands."You have to keep up Eth!" She said as she ran with me behind her trying to catch up. The people in the first floor jumped up as we poured down running for the front door. They all jumped up alarmed as they also tried to run. I watched as a man crushed a little girl who was trying to run away and it wasn't a funny sight.I wish we never made it here. I know pointing fingers isn't right but this wasn't the best choice w
The place was very noisy which was getting really annoying. Like too annoying."We should've stayed in the hotel" I scoffed as I adjusted myself on the floor. "Yeah right... We would've ran out of food and supplies " Elise said and she was making so much sense it was getting more annoying."If you keep staring at them you'll definitely freak them out" Jake said which made my heart nearly leave my body because of how close he was to me. "I'm just looking at thier faces Incase one of them looks sick yunno" I shrugged "Yeah well you have to me more worried about getting robbed, raped, kidna..." "Hey ! Thanks alot I feel so much better now"I rolled my eyes and he chuckled. I watched as the workers passed around food in plastic bags for us to eat and my stomach grumbled happily "You must be really hungry" Elise said beside me "I'm so hungry too" "Yeah.... I'm really hungry" I took the plastic bag from the worker and thanks her as I opened it. There was a bottle of water ,a sandwich,
We walked through the football field as we tried to locate Lester's car. As we made way around court, like an alarm was rung, an army of sick people came pushing through every corner of the main building and they where coming straight for us. Lena let out a scream as we began to run." Fuck!!!" I screamed in frustration as I ran with the guys at my heels we ran as fast as we could but the sick people where faster than we imagine. "Shit they are fast" Elise screamed as she ran faster. Like the universe was totally mad at me, I tripped on my own foot and fell face down."Ethel!" I heard my name being screamed as I tried to get myself up. I pushed myself up but I was pushed down as a heavy weight fell on me. Damn those things stink. I heard the gnashing of teeth and the snarling close to my ears which wasn't a pleasant sound at all. My elbow collided with it's face as I used my legs to kick it off me. Elise then grabbed me by the collar and pulled me towards her. I then managed to g
"we don't want any trouble " Lester said as he turned and looked at me. I shifter nervously as I tired my best not to talk. I mean there's a gun to my head. "I don't want any trouble either so do not move" the man said."What did you do to the others" Lester asked. "What others?" The man said looking very confused. "It's only you guys I saw so far" he said. "Names". The man demanded. He's really strict."My name is Ethel and this is Lester" I said looking from the man to Lester."we really mean no harm. We actually came here to get some supplies" The man eyed us thoroughly before he lowered the gun."Be careful where you walk into" the man said and I nodded. "We are really sorry we didn't know someone was in here" Lester said damn I was still shaking. "Well I'll strike a deal" the man cracked a smile and I gulped. I hate deals. " What deal"Lester looked confused."You'll take us with you" what?"What?" Yes I think he read my mind there "we don't have a destination" Lester said a
With Moe as the lead we walked into the store slowly. We looked around at the dark store only lighted by the ray of sun coming through the window. The shelves looked untouched and it made it easier to walk through.I kept my ear out for any sound Incase there where sick people in here. But the only sound I could hear was our footsteps. "Let's split up to make it out faster" Lester said and we all picked places and went to pack supplies. I chose the drugs and other hygiene cubicle. I'm sure Elise would be shy to pick tampons but me... Oh well. I picked extra toothbrushes, some towels, soaps and some face masks. What? I'm looking forward to looking good. I peeked to the other side and saw Elise also picking soaps and some shampoo. So I picked some bandages, antiseptics, aspirin and some other drugs. Filled two baskets in total as I made my way around the shelves to find Elise. I heard a weird sound coming from behind the shelves. It sounded like snapping but I ignored it and kept w
"I miss mom" Elsie said as she leaned her head on my shoulder. She helped me clean my healing wound and we were in our room just staring at the world. With no TV, and quarantined in a house with a bunch of strangers teaching you how to shoot guns and survive on deer and rabbits, trust me you'll stare at the wall at your leisure time. "I miss her too El and I also miss dad" she shrugged as she fell on the bed. " Whatever" she sighed "You still hate the man?" I chuckled as I laid down beside her. " We both know you hate him too" "Well.... I don't make it so obvious " "Well I'm sorry if his presence makes me want to puke""You're so dramatic " I laughed and she laughed with me."It's been so long since I've cracked a smile" she took a deep breath."I know right.... It's been so long" I looked at the ceiling damn... If we keep going like this we'll definitely loose our minds."Do you ever think of looking for a cell booth and contact mom?" Elise asked "You know that's impossible "
