Welcome to my entry on the #snookschallenge5. I will be creating my own fictional zombie on the #snookschallenge5 Initiated by @snook, click here to learn more about the challenge.
The deadly zombie virus has been spread across the city. It’s barely a day since the outbreak, but the streets were void and filled with walking dead already. The city was full of accident scenes, broken stores, blood spoilage everywhere, and some other features we see in zombie movies.
At the outskirt of the city is a heavily guarded military base that has been used for people’s refuge ever since the outbreak. Although many more people has been asked to stay indoor and luck up there doors since everyone can not be rescued at the same time, while helicopters has been sent to careful transport people from their various home to the military base.
Maggie, a 23 year old lieutenant at the military base, best among her peers even with the fact that she is a lady, very good with weapons, and with a good combat skills. Maggie is the second and last born of two female children in her family, her parents passed while she was at the age of 5 and her elder sister(Anna) at the age of 8. They both struggle to get over the pain, having the backs of each other till they grew up and she decided to join the military.
Maggie got a call from Anna 10 hours into the outbreak, this was the second time they spoke since the outbreak. Maggie could remember the last time they spoke, she told Anna to remain at home with her husband and their one year old twins, Anna sounded worried but not as worried has she is now on the second call, Maggie could here disturbing sounds from the background, like a door being banged repeatedly.
Hel,,,,Hello Maggie, where are you (with a crying voice, breathing loudly and twice faster than normal) my husband has been infected and he is inside the house trying to enter the kitchen were I locked up my children and I. Please hel……..
Maggie heard a loud scream from her sister and couldn’t hear anything again, she tried calling back but it rang and rang. At this point, she could no longer think straight, her group members were busy, about to go on a mission to rescue a royal family with an helicopter.
Without a waste of time, Maggie took as many weapons as she could lay hold on, and sneaked out of the military base with a military truck from the garage. Anna’s house wasn’t really far from the base, a 30 minutes drive on a normal day.
(Skipping the part where she had to speed up, avoiding abandoned vehicles on the highway and crushing every single zombie that crosses her path) Maggie found her way to Anna in 15 minutes. Getting there, on her way to the kitchen, she shot Anna’s husband as he runs towards her. What she saw next broke her heart.
Anna had just been bitten, she was lying on the floor trying to gasp for air as blood rushes out of her neck. Maggie busted to tear, at that moment, she could remember their childhood and the various memories they shared while growing. Maggie had killed several zombies as she approached Anna’s building from the truck, but she had a tough time shooting as she watched her sister slowly turning into a zombie.
The twins were at the other end of the kitchen wrapped up in a thick cloth. Anna stood up, turned to Maggie and ran towards her, she grabbed Maggie trying to bite her. Maggie struggled for a while with tears rolling down her eyes before she could summon the courage to pull the triggering Anna.
At this point, the house had been surrounded by zombies who had been attracted by the sound of the gunshots, there was no way she could carry twins out of the house with gun in her hands. She called her group telling them her location and demanding an immediate pick up, while making the call, she realized that she had been bitten as well, so she took the twins up to the roof, leaving a message that she had been bitten and that they carry the twins to safety.
Not quite long, after she had gone back inside the house, she heard the sound of an approaching helicopter. At this time she had started feeling strange movements in her body. Maggie said her last prayers, pointed the gun at her head, squeezing her face she pulled the trigger.
That zombie she found so difficult to pull the trigger on, ended up turning her into one.
Thanks for reading through, it’s my pleasure bringing you this fictional story. Do have a wonderful weekend.
