Falling Star Aftermath!
(Poem time)
The blast was loud,
It cracked the ground!
Echoed through time!
Heard year round!
Like a comet that just touched down!
Body parts filled the air,
Mud and blood rained the streets.
My hair rolled up because of heat.
He left a crator 20 feet deep.
To this day, I can not sleep!
Bravo company did not weep.
We traveled home, covered in tar.
and this how slayer created the Falling Star!
Alive and Kicking
(Rhyme time)
(One month earlier)
Hey Liz fill the bag we got to get back,it will be night soon! Harry look at that, a crater, got to be 20 feet deep,and body parts all over the streets.
Seems somebody went to war with the zees. Look over their I see somebody, And he's alive,
Hold on liz! I got a zombie in sight.
He is not a zee he's talking,
radio for Help!
Someone anyone help me! I'm still alive, Slayer replied.
Maybe we should keep away! he could have been bitten. Don't go over their Liz,
Damn you never listen, if he's infected we could go missing.
If we bring him back and he turns to zee, it won't be good, we only been there a week. We doing this job now to earn our keep,we snuck out here while Mary was sleeping. Now forget about him and let it be.
Don't put our lives in danger. Over some stranger.
But! But... He looks military, maybe an army ranger, he may know of a place much safer.
okay! Liz, Lets take a look,
but if he's a zee or crook, ill shoot him like that stack of books I practice on. We will see if he's ok and then were gone. There's not many soldiers, and we could use his knowledge.
We both go together and give him a holla!
Have You Been Bitten
(Rhyme time)
(One month earlier)
Hey mister! hey are you ok, have you been bitten, you have burn marks all over your legs and chest,if your with the army then where's the rest?
My name is Kevin, I was in Navy Seal Team Eleven, before the world went to shit, and no I haven't been bit. You see all this mess I did this, with a tanker, the other is the one on the left. It's full of jet fuel, we have a plane. Damn this shit burns with pain. So what's your names, where do you stay? How do you live?
I'm Harry and this is my sister Liz, where we stay is none of your biz. We have others, and they'll come looking soon. We'd take you with us but we don't have room, and don't have food. Not trying to be rude, but dude we don't know or trust you.
LOL! Your smart kid, I like you.
look here's my gun, Shoot me i wont run,
this is where I'll lay, aim for my head and blast away.
if I don't die now then maybe the next day, ill just lay here and wait. Humans are obsolete , I accept my fate.
Like a zombie cake, but make no mistake.
I can teach you a few things, how to find food, make traps with springs and strings.
A Long Ride for Pie
How long is this ride, Rico replied!
on the way back lets stop at that market,
To pick up a snack.
Hey Rico, we Italian, bro! I'm going to make something.
You already know! A Pizza Pie, yeah that's sounds nice,
It's been so long since I had a slice, getting sick of beans and rice. Why not? We risk our lives, not getting paid, when we get back a Pizza is made.
Lets build a brick over, Stacy and her sis will give us some love, if I get the tanker back fast we can make it tonight.
there's a super market two blocks down on the right.
all we need is a can of tomato,some flour and yeast,
We can make one hell of a feast, canned milk to make cheese, oh don't forget about parsley and sage.
grab anything in a can, which does not age.
Please pull over we don't ask for wage, there's a beast in my stomach, locked in a cage, to which It has to feed,
Or he'll pure his rage. “My oh my” that sounds so nice, a big slice of pizza pie.
End of the road
(Rhyme time)
Five hours of bumpy, roads, back woods and streets littered with bricks and shit. Glad we will stop soon, I'm starting to get sick.
Almost near! David said
Grab your gear the road stops here!
Wake up Slayer,I'll radio Mr Red the Mayor!
To let him know the, horde swarm is 5 miles over there.
For now on guys and gals, we travel by foot, keep your eyes peeled when taking a look, And listen to every sound, you never know when the zombies are around.
The zombies are quick, but slow, Runners are quick, when you seen them before you guys already know! Rico and Juan you guys are the main gunners, if you see Runners, fire at will, if they get to close they will surely kill! And don't forget about razors! Slayer replied!(David)Yes! Slayer and... RAZORS, I'll get to why!Razors... Razors really guys are you trying to be funny!There is no time for games, let alone shave, so quit with the jokes and behave, my life is at stake. Don't want to be out in the open
to late, and Juan don't you have a pizza to make. Lets get this over and make this quick, damn you guys make me sick. And go fuck yourself Rico you can suck a...
Calm down there missy! Don't get all hissy. Slayer replies! No time to wait, so we walk and talk, Shawna says I never heard about razors. I'll till you now rather than later.
RAZORS
(Poem time)
We have a long walk, so lets talk.
You see razors use to be mans best friend,
Till the world's end!
They are infected wolves,
Hounds from a darkest hell,
They are zombies, as well,
naturally trained to hear and smell. They walk around and listen to sound, find some food,and let off a howl.
Razors run very fast, and take a few rounds to put one down,
they will track you down for the meat they seek,
I had my first encounter, with Liz and Harry.
I'm afraid of no zombie, but razors are little scary.
Somehow the infection, does not limit their sense, There smarter, then other zombies.
We call them razors because their teeth are like blades, few slices in the right place, and your life will fade.
Most razors move in packs, like city rats. controlled attacks by one leader,I heard there usually the largest, Of the pack, in which he sends out scouts. Before the gang attacks.
So Shawna! if you see one razor, kill him quick so he doesn't get back and tell his pack.
How did they become infected?
I thought only humans became the undead! Shawna said!
Some say they were the first of its kind, created in labs, from scientist
Hidden in a abandon mine. To be used as a Weapon to control nations.It's anyone's guess the mines true location. Now lets hurry and catch up, to the others.
The Hotel
(Story time)
We are almost there, go faster we must,Keep running, they're gaining on us, To the hotel lobby, trust me Kevin.Ok I got! Lets keep running, and head past that truck, with any luck they'll run by! Or we can try to fight, but if we enter the hotel now they'll follow us, and kill us on stairway flight.I got an idea, and I pray I'm right, if we move quick we can hop in that dumpster and wait till the morning light. But first we make a right turn, straight down the alley , to get away from sight.
Use the dumpster as a Fortress if we forced to fight.Get ready now! Liz keeps up! run fast, if they see us jump in, it will be our last. They got in the dumpster filled with trash, Harry leaped over head first, and bashed his head, a little red rash."But not bad!"
Kevin helped Liz hop in and she scratched her knee, on a broken bottle of glass.
Then Kevin jumped in after,closing the dumpster lid behind, just in time.
About a dozen runners ran by!
Hoping no one seen them and where they hide. If a single one noticed, then they all would die.The runners foot steps slowed down, we could hear them.Outside searching and looking around! Outside They lost us, Harry replied! Then couldn't seem to decide, a direction to where we were. Suddenly a bottle breaks, it was a cat. The runners quick to react. But they have a taste for human, the moon lights up the street,
Three live body's in a dumpster. It starts to heat, trash smelled like ass, and fumes start to seep. Her stomach is weak, Liz almost spit up, the trashy smell was making her ill, Hold it in! Whispers Harry your going to get us killed. We been in the dumpster for hours now, I'll get out and have a look around. Kevin opens the dumpster lid, slowly... not making much sound, he creeps out the dumpster as his feet touch the ground.
He draws the machete, preparing for what he may engage, and headed for the street. The night humidity caused his sweat to sting his burnt skin, painkillers wore off, Again. Two blocks down, the Main Street road, on left which Harry told!
there's the hotel, that's we're we have to go.Kevin looked around for zombies near, it's quiet now coast is clear. But this is weird! The runners are gone, something doesn't seem right, not a zee in sight. with no street lights, the darkness overwhelms the night. Alright Harry,Liz coast looks clear, not a single zombie near. The hotel is a two block Hike, we walk side by side, alright. leave the flash light off, save batteries, until we enter the hotel,go ahead! Liz! You can speed it up now...! Walking in the darkness , what a pretty view, they can't see us, and we can't see you. At last we made it, thanks to you and your brother. But I have a question, where are the others.
Why did they, send you two kids, on a run, Do they have guns, are they adults, or just little ones like your self. Kevin we on the 5th floor room number 204, We use a secret knock. For them to open the door. The lobby stairs are blocked, all exits are locked, back stairs have been chopped down. We use the elevator shaft, there's a steel ladder, we use when we go out for supply's. It's dark going up, so we count the doors when we pass floors.
Elevator Entry
They entered the elevator, one by one using the side rails, to boost up into the elevator trap door.Harry flicked on the flash light and glanced, he spotted where the ladder was.
Kevin! Are you guys for real! Old and rusty steel with black paint Peeling. I weigh more than you both,do you think it will hold? The side walls were slimy and cover in mold. You say there are others,how many up there? And where the fuck they at? I'm starting to think this is a trap. Explain yourself or I'm going back. Harry? Liz? Answer me now! it's..,it's just one person, the others are dead. Liz said! Harry! Look we didn't need your help,you needed ours, while Harry kept climbing the bars.Then go! Leave we can handle ourselves.
The others were my family members, and there all dead. The only one's left is me and Liz's mother, and she has a bacterial infection. Her wounds have never healed, and turning black, so we had to get back. We were out looking for antibacterial medical aid, when we spotted you, near the crater you made. Ok! Keep climbing, we'll see when we get to the fifth floor. Passing the third floor, Kevin noticed the elevator door was open. The zombies could hear them climbing up the shaft, the sound of rusty metal, squeaked and creaked. Harry and Liz pass the third floor open door, Kevin was last! As he started to pass, two zees appeared.
They had uniforms on, probably staff from the hotel. Both reached for Kevin's leg, missed and fell. One fell straight down to the ground floor, smashing through the elevator trap door. The zombie exploded like a water balloon! Hitting the concrete.
The second clashed his head on the steel ladder,causing his brain to splatter. The vibration rang like a church bell. More zombies coming we could hear their feet drag across the carpet on the third floor.
Kevin keep climbing, lets hurry to room 204.
ROOM 204
Finally we made it here,to the fifth floor.
We entered a dark hall, with blood stained walls, the closest door number was 196, the damp smell of mold, surrounded my nose. Where did Harry go?
Over here! This way! Harry waving his hand. We paused for a moment. Heard another zombie fall, not sure where they landed.If we can't go back down the shaft were stranded, until we find another way.
"At last" room 204, two knocks then three, Harry? Liz? Is that you!A soft, voice from behind the door!
“
It's was a lady's voice but I'm not sure. Kevin Thinks!”
I didn't know what to expect, didn't have a clue. The door cracked open, I seen one eye hazel brown, pointing in every direction looking around. Who that's man, You have with you? is the army coming to rescue.
She then opens the door wide, and to my surprise she was beautiful,
Long brown hair, dirty but didn't care, about 5.6, body was tasteful, To my liking, her skin was pale, surely she's sick, but not like the ones that have been bit. Her mouth and lips seem dry! By passing Harry to ask Liz this! I guess she knew he'd lie. Liz? Who is this? And why is he here! please tell me dear! Mother! Please calm down! We meet him in town, lying on the ground near the play ground. He's a United States Navy Seal, we saved his life! And he saved ours! when running zombies tried to eat us last night. So we brought him back to the hotel it's only right.
Harry. Don't forget, there's a complex 39 miles from here, and they have a plane. Food, water, shelter. I'm ready to go now. who's game!
I'm sorry sir! what is your name?
My name is Lt Kevin Williams.
Of Seal Team 11, and your name is??
I'm Mary! And you have already meet my son and daughter, I guess they have told you about the rest.
Can get us to safety and out of this mess?
I'll do my best, but we all in this together now! it's good you found a place, to hide and Let alone survive. I can teach Harry and Liz, there good kids. At my complex, everyone has a duty, which is part of a flexing schedule. You earn your keep, by working to rebuild our way of life. I know the rules very well, I created them!
Number 1: Don't get bitten
Number 2: Shoot or remove head
Number 3: Stay fit and fed
Number 4: Keep sound down
Number 5: Don't fucking get bitten
Listen Mary! I'm going to try and get us to a much safer livable place. But there is much to prepare, before we go back out there! Also you don't have the plague, lets see the scar on your leg.
