"Richard" I felt a hand shaking me as I opened my eyes weakly to see the figure before me. Major Mark.
" How do you feel now? " he asked almost immediately I opened my eyes.
" I feel better" I said grunting as I tried to sit up on the small bed.
My body aches all over due to the stress we went through, the previous night. My left lap hurts badly and I took a glance at it. I noticed it was covered with Band-Aids and and wondered where the wound came from.
I couldn't remember anything that led to such injury during our mission yesterday. Well, shit happens during a fight, I shrugged it off with this thought.
Major Mark looked at me with a weird smile on his face and I shot him an angry look.
" Where the fuck were you guys yesterday?" I asked as I now remember all that happened.
"Doing what I was supposed to do" he replied

Well, we need to test your abilities and skills before sending you to the main deal" Anonymous replied" Oh well great, says those that call themselves god" I said coldly." Did you give Clara the dose you said you were gonna give her?" I asked" Yeah, I did and she's doing fine" he replied."

Major Mark and two other armed guards escorted me back to the room where I slept the other day. We took another way back to the room, that was when I realized how big this place is.I knew immediately that Major Mark took me past another route, he knew I would know how to find my way back there another day."You have thirty minutes to settle down, I need to show you around the Armory." Major Mark said immediately we got to my room."Noted" I replied not even turning to face him as I remove my boots.I heard the door close behind me before turning around. I brought out a piece of paper and a pen, using it to make a rough map of the building. I've been making rough sketches like this ever since I came here, and the map is now making sense.I don't trust Faceless. So, I have a plan B in case things turn shitty. I've disconnected the security camera ever since I came into this place, so it's difficult for them to monitor me.I already told F

It's a sunny day in Galaxy City and the streets looked completely deserted except the papers and magazines been blown up and down the street like it is been controlled by some unseen force. The city look messed up more like a war zone as smoke was rising from sky scrappers in different part of the city. Cars were parked carelessly everywhere with some of them having their doors opened like the owners seems to leave it in a hurry. Some have blood stains on their windshield with scratches on their body. Bodies were lying on the floor carelessly and the smell of decay and burned flesh hit my nose from every angle. You might be wondering who I am, Richard Williams that's my name. A special Force in the US military with two tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. It's been three weeks since the virus broke out, three weeks since I got separated from my wife and daughter. The thought

"Get up Richard!" Gary yelled, shaking me vigorously from my sleep. I could hear hurried footsteps everywhere and there was panic in his voice. It's midnight and I could clearly see the horror in his eyes. "What the hell is going on?" I asked trying to get a pick of what's happening around me. A gunshot rang from below almost immediately. "Shit" I cursed and jumped out of bed grabbing my machete that has been resting idly on the wall. "There are infected everywhere" he said while rubbing something off his forehead. I guess it's sweat. More shots was fired and I could hear Wayne yelling at Gary to wake me up on time. I hurriedly put my things in my bag and grabbed three magazines for my Beretta and tucked it in my belt. Gary led the way and together we ran down the flight of stairs and I immediately spot what caused the commotion. Some of the infected had managed to break in through the back exit and are trying to make

It's been two days now since Joe died and we're trying to keep our mind away from what happened but it's not easy, especially for me. I've seen lots of people die in my presence, but never have I witnessed someone die because of me. I tried hard to forget it, but the scene kept playing in my mind like a movie. The house we live in belong to Wayne and I later find out Joe and Wayne are best of friends and also colleagues at work. They both work as mechanics at an Automobile company in the city. They were friends since college days and still remain best of friends even after graduation. The day Joe died, Wayne refused to talk to anyone, he just kept to himself through out the day. We dug a small grave for him at the backyard and also gave him a little farewell sermon with Gary acting as the preacher. Nick cried his eyes out that day and he refuse to come out of his room even for dinner. I learnt he was very close to Joe and he's learning how to operate a gun from him.&

"Why are you trespassing on my territory without my permission?" His voice thundered. " The last time I checked, this ain't a private property" Gary replied sharply, tightening his grip on the Ar-15. The man with a painted face walk over to Gary and stood face to face making Gary's gun touch his chest. He looked at Gary with his wide angry looking eyes and then shift his gaze to mine. I'm gonna shoot him in the face if he keep looking at me that way, I thought. "This is my territory, and any mo'erfucker that wishes to pass through will have to pay homage to me or face my wrath" he said looking Gary in the face. " Fuck your wrath" I snapped back. He looked at me shock and walk angrily over to my place. " What did you just say?" He asked this time with all seriousness."

We left the G.M.H (Galaxy Mega Hotel) very early the next day. Mike has our truck loaded with supplies of food and ammunition. He told us we're welcome anytime we come around, said we should tell the guards at the checkpoint that we want to see him. We hit the highway and Gary was driving at a very high speed. Nancy and Wayne must be worried by now 'cause we didn't tell them we won't be coming back. "I think I'm beginning to like Mike" I told Gary who chuckled" I told you he's someone we can trust"" You're not getting it" i said" I like him doesn't mean I trust him" I replied sharply. " So what do you think?" He asked" About what?"" Are we going back to the hotel or not?" He asked while taking a bend. A few infected were on the highway and they foolishly staggered towards the car but Gary only hit the gas not minding the brainless beings. " I'm not to decide" I replied" Wayne and Nancy will speak for themselve

"This is not looking good" I said to myself. The roaring sound of the truck's engine already made the infected shift their attention to me. They started rushing towards the vehicle but I was fast enough to grab my shotgun that has been resting on the seat next to me and shot the infected nearest to the truck at the head making the brain matter splash on the truck with an awful odour. I'm used to that already. I reversed the truck as the infected kept coming and then pull up the handbrake with my leg on the clutch pedal making the car drift in a 160 degree circle with the car facing the dusty highway that led to the main city. I dropped the handbrake and put the gear in one with my foot hitting the accelerator, the truck shoots forward with such speed that i completely knocked down an infected that's coming from the opposite direction. I drove as fast as I could and within few minutes, I was on the main highw
