AN: So this is weird because this means that I now have 3 different stories for the same pairing goin on at once, but I got the idea and it was completely eating at me to be written. Normally I'm not that into sci-fi, but I've had a combination of 3 inspirations for this fic. 1)Katy Perry's E.T., Which I listened to the whole time I wrote this. 2) Neal Shusterman's Unwind, which is the best book ever that made me think about the world's condition and inspired me to make something that happens in the future. 3) Ghost in the Shell 2: Lost Innocence, which made me cry and also inspired the more robotical and technological aspects of this. Now, connections between the story and my inspirations of it will be hard to find seeing as there are no aliens, no one's getting unwinded (you'd have to read the book to get that one), and the world isn't crawling with cyborgs and robotically inhanced humans. This is actually a somewhat Zombie(its not your typical zombie, in fact zombie doesn't even close to accurately describe it) apocalypse story that takes place in the U. S. of A. Enjoy.

Prologue

I travel in Limbo, mind stranded in the middle of nowhere. Streams of gold light race against the blackness of my closed eyes, dancing their little folk dances with the stars. Dancing…I used to like that. I used to like it a lot.

Who am I?

Who was I?

These questions break me out of my dreamy daze. The beams cease to dance and all my little stars die off, falling the long way to the ground. Polka is dead. This state of limbo is forever. Names? Name? I had one. I still do. People used to say it was pretty, sometimes exotic. So what was it? Confused. I don't know what's going on. Still. Everything is still and I have no explanation for why that is so. Breathe, don't think. Think, don't breathe. Feel. Just feel.

Blind fingers stretch out, nasal passages filling with deep breaths of air. Earth. The scent floods my mind with memories. Dancing happily through meadows, chasing butterflies, rolling like a log. Overjoyed innocence. Peaks of dry substance scratch at my fingers. Grass. And all the memories float away.

Wind blows over my face, my nose wrinkling in understated delight at the feel. Drums play in my ears letting out that hard tribal beat. No. Not drums. Just me. Just me and my heartbeat. Thump, thump. Thump, thump. The images flow through my mind.

Azure eyes. Cocky smirk. Wild blue hair. And my heart's beating nice and heavy. Who? Who? Definitely not me. Him. Him who? Laughter, his laughter, echoes through my head, loud, crazed, and ruthless. Like an alien in my spaceship I'm beamed up, transported to that time, to the mysterious moment that never was. He laughs and I join in this time, shrill screeching resounding in my ears. Who? What? Beam me up and I'm back in Limbo all over again.

Clench my eyes shut, clench my fists closed. 1,000 pound weights holding them down. Breathe in, let it out slow. Open sesame. Light filters through to me, bright and white like a beacon of hope. Immediately I shut it out. Not ready, not ready. But I'm curious. So I open my eyes again, this time slower, pushing through.

I see blue. I see green. I hear birds chirping. Then I hear it.

"Congratulations, kid. You've just survived the zombie apocalypse."

AN: I love the last sentence of this, really I do. So yeah, tell me what you all think about it so far, while I start typing up the next chapters. Also, if you don't mind, you guys can check out my other 2 GrimmNel stories that I will be updating on soon. I've actually written out the next chapters for both of them, but have yet typed them up. I was suffering lack of inspiration (which is partially why I started this cuz i was super inspired). So hope you guys like the story thus far and stay tuned in for its next chapter because me and sci-fi is a rarity...despite how many episodes of Star Trek that I've seen.
