Zombie Attack

Zombie Attack

Tyson slowly opens his bloodshot eyes; It takes a few seconds for him to adjust to the bright light shining on him. Tyson was in an operating theatre in the local hospital in southern Connecticut.Tyson slowly arose from the small hospital bed. “Gah″ Tyson screams. He sees a doctor ripped into shreds. Tyson cautiously approaches the mangled doctor on the grey concrete floor.

Suddenly It wakes up. Tyson was petrified; he reached for a medical knife on the small operating table. He stabbed it in the stomach and the head. Its body falls onto the cold concrete floor.

Tyson inspected the body. Its face looked like it was rotting, with blood all over its mouth and a bite mark on its neck.

Zombies, Tyson thought, but when did it happen and how? These are the top two questions of the day. That would be a good tv show name, He thought.

“ I should probably look for materials in the hospital”, Tyson said to himself. Tyson scours the hospital for supplies and finds 1 medical knife, 2 water bottles (with some strange stuff in them), 5 kg of meat, 2 disposable medical masks ( which he had already disposed of) and 1 leather notebook. He goes to open the door, but wait I’m missing something, Tyson thought. He goes over his list twice. Tyson needed a pistol. Tyson scours the hospital for a pistol.

I decided to open up the leather notebook and read it

Well I have got a job at this hospital in southern Connecticut. It’s a dangerous job alright but I need the money.

Tyson slams the book shut. I’ll read that later Tyson thought. Tyson exited the operating theatre as he walked he realised that he was limping. He paused and looked at his leg. There were several bullet holes in his thigh and ankle. How did that happen? He thought. Tyson continued laundering to the screen room in the wrecked hospital because he needed to know what had happened.

The last news feed was about 1 month ago.

Tyson flicked through the endless amount of shows until he saw a news program. “ Yesterday, an outbreak began. It was caused by Operation Resurrection, which was organised by who goes there? Society which resulted in utter failure. That’s all for tonight.” a Newswoman said . He flicked through some more and found another channel. “ Just yesterday there was an operation. It failed. On youtube, there is footage of people biting each other. Is this a sign of futurism? Tyson walks out of the hospital and I am greeted with the blinding light from the sun.I go into the mini mall.

I see a dead guy and a glock 19 on a toy shelf. They really shouldn’t be selling dead people and a real gun in the barbie doll section because that’s not appropriate. Tyson picks up the glock and leaves the mini mall.

Tysons objective is to find a silencer for secret agent missions, and to quiet his gun so he doesn’t attract zombies but for now he needed a base to stay in for the long and treacherous nights. Tyson had the best base. A bin, yes a bin. Tyson felt like a homeless person as he went into the bin.

Tyson wakes up to the sounds of groaning and moaning.Slowly he lifts up the lid of the bin he sees a zombie shuffling around. He lifts the bin further up and sees several zombies shambling around him. He grabs his gun and starts shooting them down. Tyson sighs in relief that he won the game of down the clown. He takes deep breaths that he learnt from Carla’s cardio class back when it was still open.

He climbs out of the restaurant bin and wanders around the city for a while. Encountering several zombies. Killing them was easy peasy lemon squeezy. Tyson knows where he can get the silencer shen’s shotguns, but there is one problem: it will take 15 hours to get to shen’s shotguns. Tyson had a ‘big brain moment’. “ I will go to the old subway and take a train”, Tyson said to himself

Tyson headed off towards the subway. He trekked for about 15 minutes until he had arrived at the opening of the metro.Tyson climbed down the grimy steps that smelt like his socks that haven’t been washed since world war 2. Pinching his nose, Tyson went down the stairs. When he got down there he was surprised to see tents and supplies just lying there unguarded. He looked around for any sign of intelligent life (humans). Out of curiosity Tyson started poking around in some of the tents.

In one of the tents he found a used nappy. Tyson digs deeper inside the tent and finds an m1 carbine bolt action rifle.”sweet”, Tyson said while grinning.

Okay all I need to do is reroute all the power to the trains. He thought to himself while opening the command module. He had been here before to fix the trains a time ago. When suddenly he heard groaning from behind him. Tyson spinned around and faced something that looked like his gym teacher. Warts all over its body, flesh hanging from everywhere, guts hanging out.

Tyson grabbed his m1 carbine and started shooting the zombie until it fell to the ground. Tyson walked towards the corpse for a better look when it started shaking and exploded. The rancid blood and guts splats on his face and around him. “ Well that’s just lovely”, Tyson muttered.

Tyson climbed into the cockpit of the train and started the engine. Nothing happened Tyson pressed the start button again still nothing happened. Angrily Tyson climbed out of the train and started kicking it. “Stupid ugly dumb train”, tyson yelled at the top of his lungs. Tyson looked outside and it was night. “Great”, TYson mumbled “at least this cant get any worse”. Tyson looked up in the sky to see that the moon was red. Tyson had watched a lot of zombie movies so he knew what it was.

TYson frantically reached for stuff to barricade the door with. Tyson was sitting down on high alert. He heard zombies moaning from up above, they were swarming the entrance to the metro. Tyson makes a fire to roast the meat on.

Tyson pours some water into a little glass. He reached for the diary in his small bag, wait it’s not there. I must’ve left it inside the dumpster, Tyson thought. After that big dinner (that was not very big) Tyson looked for grenades to clear the swarm out more easily.

But no, no frags. I wish grenades were easy to find just like dirt. Tyson thought with a frown on his face.

Tyson starts looking around for stuff. Tyson realises that all subways have a ladder, well an escape hatch. Tyson starts looking around for it when he spots it in the far left corner.Quickly Tyson dashes to the ladder and starts to climb up. On top of the subway he finds an old mangled parachute lying there.

Tyson picks up the parachute and lands on the road. Luckily it doesn’t attract any attention from the zombies. Whom were still crowding the entrance to the subway like when a new iphone comes out. Tyson spots a note on the floor saying

Please help us. We are located at the local mall called the local mall.

Come quick because we can’t survive

Any longer and my bunkmate keeps wetting the bed. 1/1/2002

Tyson jumps up in glee. I found survivors now I don’t have to be all emo anymore! I found survivors now I don’t have to be all alone anymore! Thought tyson. They still might be alive because this note was posted just yesterday though tyson.

“Let’s go”, Tyson says. Soon Tyson arrives at the local mall. As he gets closer a voice says “hey!, don’t come any closer. Do you like tuna?” “ Uhhhhhh yean, I guess”, Tyson said not knowing where this conversation was going. “ Hey guys he’s safe”, a high pitched voice says.

As Tyson got closer to the entrance he could just make out who was there. A skinny guy, an old guy and two small people. Tyson was close to the entrance when a shot rang out. “Move out the way you bumbling gerbil face”, a voice says.

I turn around to see a huge hord running at the mall. Tyson grabs his lee enfield and also starts trying to clear out the horde.

All seems lost until Tyson sees a ah-1 cobra buzzing around in the sky. “HEY”, Tyson yells “over here”. The helicopter opens fire and knocks down most of the zombies. Tyson and the other people make a break for it and run towards the helicopter. The old guy gets bitten by a zombie and one of the smaller people, as well as the tall skinny guy who had insulted me earlier.

The smaller person gets on the helicopter followed by tyson.

“ Thank you for saving me”, the girl says.

9,074 kilometres away from connecticut.

The little girl whose name was Samantha had told Tyson a lot about her.

Tyson looked out the helicopter he saw that it was very hilly and had some dead bushes here and there.“ ברוך הבא לישראל” the mans says. “He said ‘welcome to israel’”, Samantha said quietly. “Yeah I know that”, Tyson said even though he did not know what that meant.

Tyson and Samantha thanked the driver and boarded off the helicopter. He looked around. The place was bustling with people. Not zombies.

“Where are all the zombies?” Tyson asked a guard patrolling the area.

“עקוב אחריי”, A muscular man with the israeli flag on an armband said in a gruff voice. “It means follow me”, Samantha said in a quieter voice than before. For some reason Tyson did not trust him. Reluctantly he boarded the helicopter and took the co-pilot seat even though Tyson was a terrible flyer. When he was in school he always played the helicopter simulator, but for some reason he always plummeted off the cliff.

Luckily the guy did not make him fly, he just made him sit there. The helicopter was now in the sky hovering over the launch pad. Tyson turned to face Samantha who was sitting in the back seat. “ Are you okay, you look a bit depressed”, Tyson said with a hint of worry in his eye. “ I’m okay”, Samantha mumbled. Tyson turns around to face the pilot. “Soooo why did you bring us here?”Tyson asked, trying to spark up a conversation. “להראות לך את זה שמות נועם”, The man said in a more friendly voice.

“It means to show you this. By the way, the name’s noam.`` Samantha said.

Everyone in the helicopter was shocked to see there were a bunch of zombies trying to break the wall that surrounded israel. All they could do was watch, watch the city die.soon soon there was a huge hole in the wall. Tyson started to hear screams from inside the wall. אלוהים” אדירים”, noam said with a shocked look on his face. Samantha didn’t need to translate it. Tyson already knew what it meant ‘oh my goodness’.

4,532 km away from israel.

They arrived in the United Kingdom on top of a small skyscraper. “להגן על עצמך אם אתה צריך”, noam says. “ It means defend yourself if you need to”, Samantha said.

As noam lifts off, Tyson hears a sputter from the helicopter engine. At first Tyson A seems a bit worried but he reassures himself that all is fine. After a couple of minutes of the engine sputtering it spins out of control and goes through a whole building.

“Is he dead?”, whimpered samantha.

“ No it’s not like he just plunged through a building and possibly blew up but no of course he’s not dead”, tyson said sarcastically. “So he is alive”, Samantha says. “No of course not, no one could survive that”, Tyson said. Tyson motions for Samantha to follow him. Tyson opens the door to the tattered old building. Tyson and Samantha’s boots make loud noises that make plaster fall from the ceiling.

Tyson and Samantha walk down and hear multiple footsteps in front of them. They peek around the corner and see 14 zombies in front of them. The zombies look different to the others, they look more dead skin peeling off dried blood all over their mouths. Tyson whips out his m1 carbine and shoots the zombies until they drop to the ground like a fly when you kill it with fly spray. Zombies are way more annoying than flies. Imagine zombie flies that would be my nightmare.

Soon they reach the boiler room and as they get further it gets nastier, blood and guts are everywhere, all over the walls even on his gun even though it was immaculate before they entered the room. They see these worm things surrounding the door to the mall.

We need a distraction. Tyson thought. He spots a can of brussel sprouts on the floor and throws them at the worms. The worms dive for the can and start tearing through the can until they demolish the can and its contents. The worms start vomiting on the floor because who likes brussel sprouts?

Samantha and Tyson make it through the door and they are surprised at what they see. They see a bunch of zombies in the lower levels of the mall. Funny, one of them looks like uncle Bruce Tyson thought. Samantha leans on the rail to get a good look at what she thinks looks like aunty fay. The railing collapses. Tyson pulls Samantha away to stop her from being turned into clam chowder.

They hear an uproar of shrieks down below. They start climbing up everywhere like spiderman. “Samantha on the count of three we are going to jump out this window, 1, 3!!”Tyson yelled. They jumped out the window and landed in the street. Tyson sits up and sees a zombie running after him. He reaches for his gun, it’s not there. The zombie’s teeth sink into his skin.

Then all fades to black.

Tyson wakes up in a secret facility. He sees doctors rushing by. A doctor approaches him. “Mister Hampshire, I have got some good news for you. You are immune to the virus.” the doctor says. After some explaining I am set out of the facility. All seems fine. Everything has turned back to normal or has it??? Tyson walks down an alleyway and hears some clattering from the trash can. “Hello?”Tyson says. Out emerges a zombie, the last one. A body lays on the ground covered in blood. It starts to wake up and the corpse on the ground is alive.

Well since you’re still reading this I guess I can give you a sneaky peak of my next novel.

One second everything was normal. Then everything stopped. People were burning up in the sun. The shade was the only safe place to be. Even then you could still die. The heat would burn you into human soup. You need a hazmat suit to survive. The year is 2012

James’s shopping cart rattled against the floor. He was in the freezer section looking at the ice creams. When screams filled the shop. It had suddenly gotten hotter. James looked outside and people were burning in the sun. Vampires! James thought he looked for a place to hide. He yanked open the freezer door and climbed inside…
