Chapter 11

Author: Cher
Leo slammed his palm against the steel door like a madman. "Chloe! I know you're in there!"

Earlier, after they dealt with Rex, Leo and Jessica scavenged tools from their place and broke their way out of their apartment.

They took a hidden route through blind spots, stayed out of the zombies' sight, and stumbled up to my door as if they were out of options.

Leo sobbed so hard he could barely breathe. His voice was hoarse and ragged. "Please! Open up. We're dying out here!"

I watched through the peephole. Leo's cheeks were hollow, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked so thin he could've passed for a skeleton.

Jessica looked even worse. Her hair stuck out in wild tangles, her lips were split and bleeding, and she reeked of sweat.

She screamed through her tears and thudded her fist against the door. "Chloe, it's me, Jessica! We're best friends! You can't just let us die!"

Best friends? I almost laughed out loud.

Leo screamed until his voice broke. "I was wrong! This was all my f

    Jessica knelt beside Leo, shaking him hard. "No. Leo!"I cracked the metal door open and dragged Leo's limp body into the apartment. He wasn't dead. He was only knocked unconscious from being tased. I still had other plans.Jessica stared at me in terror. "You're insane. You killed him!"I looked coldly at her, who stood frozen outside the door. "No, I didn't. He'd only been tased unconscious. I could only let one of you inside, so I chose Leo."I tossed a backpack to Jessica. Inside were a small knife, a bottle of water, and a piece of hardtack.My voice was completely flat. "This is what you get. Try to stay alive, if you can."Jessica took the backpack with shaking hands, despair flooding her eyes. She cried, "Chloe, please... We used to be best friends."I snorted. "Best friends? A friend doesn't sleep with my fiance or plan to kill me."The color drained from Jessica's face. She knew that I already knew everything."I-I can explain…" she stammered."You don't need to exp

    Leo approached the couch slowly. "Rex, I want to talk."Rex had been up since dawn, and the hunger had him even meaner. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a cornered animal.He tightened his grip on the wrench and watched Leo. "About what? You and Jessica are trying to pull something again?"Leo raised both hands. "It's not a setup. I found a way out."Jessica nodded, her eyes lighting up.Rex snorted. "A way out? This place is crawling with zombies. Are you trying to get us killed?"Leo pointed at the wall. "There's a secret route. The building's vents run down to the underground garage. We can slip past the zombies."Rex frowned, trying to decide if Leo was telling the truth. "How do you know that?"Leo was good at lying. "I used to work here. I helped with maintenance. There's a vent route that runs down to the underground garage, and the zombies can't get in."It was a smart lie. He really had worked for the building's property management company for a few months,

    Leo's voice was ragged. "There was nothing. Nothing at all! We already searched every corner!"Another three days passed, and Leo, Jessica, and Rex were all starving to the point of collapse. Rex became the de facto ruler of the tiny space, keeping everyone in line with his fists.He kicked Leo, who was curled up in the corner. "You useless pieces of trash! You couldn't even find a scrap of food."Leo curled in on himself in pain and didn't dare fight back. After three days without eating, his cheeks had hollowed out. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked skeletal.Jessica was even worse off. Her lips were cracked and bleeding, her hair was tangled and filthy. She stank of sweat, and she looked wrecked.Jessica begged weakly. "Rex, please… Just give me a sip of water. Just one sip…"Rex shot her a vicious glare. "Shut up! The water is mine. If you want any, go outside and ask the zombies for it!"He was starving too, but his physical advantage still let him keep Leo and Jessica

  • Doomsday Rewind: My Ex Gets What's Coming   Chapter 8

    The arguing from Leo's apartment kept getting louder and uglier.Leo and Jessica were already gaunt from hunger, faces drawn and eyes sunken. They would spend hours screaming at each other over a single sip of water.Jessica cried weakly, her voice hoarse. "You said you loved me! Now you won't even give me a sip of water!"Leo sounded just as wrecked, his lips split and bleeding. "I'm dying of thirst, too! Do you think I don't want to drink?"Jessica sounded desperate. "We should go out and find food!"Leo pointed at the window. "Go out? You want to get torn apart by those things? The whole area downstairs is crawling with zombies!"He was right. The whole building was already overrun, blood smeared along the hallways, and severed limbs scattered everywhere.Through the security feed, I saw at least 20 zombies roaming the hallway. Then the keypad on Leo's door started beeping. Someone was trying the code.Leo and Jessica went silent, staring at the door, tense and scared."Who

    "Damn it! What the hell is going on out there?"Leo's roar came through the listening device.I kept chewing my steak, binoculars trained on the apartment across the street.The screams outside finally yanked Leo and Jessica fully awake. They leaned against the window and looked down.The street already looked like the apocalypse. Zombies shambled along the roadway, and severed limbs littered the pavement.A police cruiser tore past, its body smeared with blood and claw marks, before it slammed into a utility pole at the curb.The driver's door flew open, and an officer stumbled out. His uniform hung in tatters, and bite marks ringed his neck. A few seconds later, he was shambling with the rest."We're trapped! Those things are eating people!" Jessica cried, tears in her voice.Leo tried to stay calm, but the tremor in his voice gave him away. "Calm down! First, we grab food. Then we'll figure out how to get out of here."I watched them tear through drawers and cabinets for fo
