Chapter 1 ~ A Bizarre Beginning
He slowly opens his eyes and see a bloody wall right in front of him. Then, he realizes that the whole place is dark, save for the area around the window, which were lit by the moonlight. He stands up, feeling worse than the last hangover he had. As his head still rings, all he can remember was that he was hanging out with his homies during afternoon lunch, before he heard a loud noise and he saw a flash. Now, he sees the same placehe was before all around him, all in a chaotically horrifying contrast.
"This is too painful to be a dream..."
He looks around the place which should have been a school cafeteria. He sees more blood - on the table, the long benches, all over the floor.
"...How the...!?"
He crouches down and use his index finger and dip it into the nearest gore. He brings his finger as close to his nose as he can smell it. The typical iron-like aroma of it confirms his curiosity before he immediately wipes his finger on his shirt.
It was then that he notices two large buns on his chest. He begins to grab them and feel their texture. Getting the weird urges, he puts his hand underneath the dress he now notices he is wearing. More than the thought of him wearing a dress, he almost goes mad at the thought that he now has a pair of breasts.
"What in the name of all that's holy!?"
His scream is soon followed by a voice. A moan, to be exact. Soon, he hears more different voices coming out from the hallway. Footsteps, with a mix of the sound of wet stuff being dragged on the floor gradually grow louder in his ears.
The moans are anything BUT sexy. He stands there getting the chills. He begins to see one of them entering from the front door. His face was bloody and torn, he could see his teeth. One of his eyes is literally hanging out of its socket. From his abdomen, beneath his torn jacket, he can see intestines swinging to the rhythm of his pace. He has seen this before, in videogames and movies, and he knows right there and then that unless he forgets about his body and do something fast; he will be devoured by this man now known as a zombie.
Just as he tries to walk forward, he feels odd about his feet. He looks down and see them, covered in skin-tight, dark brown stockings and fit nicely inside a pair of red high-heels.
"Wha...?! What the FUCK happened to me!?"
The first zombie he is seeing now already had its rotten eyes set on him. It begins to walk towards him and making him stop figuring out his shocking discovery on himself.
He looks toward the door behind the counter. He knows the door would lead through the kitchen and to outer back of the building. He tries to run towards the door, with his movements damped down by the high-heels which he kicks off soon. Now barefooted, he jumps over the counter. His timing is flawed, as he trips his left foot on the edge and falls down, his head only several inches away from a knife held up by the messy mountain of plastic plates.
"Damned dress!?"
He stand up again. He sees more zombies coming from the hallway, with their desperate moans perhaps showing just how they're 'dying' for his warm flesh. He quickly picks up the knife and push the kitchen door open with his palm. As he runs, he can hear the moans grow louder, and his legs begin to shake a bit, as he sees some familiar faces while making his way out - familiar faces of which, some are already separated with their bodies, and many others looking gruesome from the torn flesh and oozing brain tissues; that kind old lady Ms. Barnes, the wanna-be rapper K-Fad, the (used to be)hot lesbian Jenna, his eternal enemy Mr. Reynolds the principal...
He releases the mixed emotions from the terrible sight he has seen so far to the back door. The blinking 'EXIT' sign never felt any brighter as he kicks the door open. The zombie from the hallway is fast approaching, but he immediately presses the lock button on the inside side of the door knob and shuts it from outside. The knocking on the door he hears soon after still makes him nervous, but he takes some time to take his breath.
He is now out of the building. Directly in front of him is the wall separating the school compound from outside, of which climbing it should be a piece of cake from all the 'training' he received while trying to skip school, but he can hear gunshots and more moans, the size of which he would expect to hear from more than a 30-man crowd. To his sides are walkways around the cafeteria complex, the one on his right-hand side connects to the classes building. As he distinguishes the choices, he hears a girl's cry for help from the direction of that building. He can also see several zombies 'patrolling' along the walkway. It is not enclosed, but he realizes full well that despite their slow movements, it is still very risky to try and run THROUGH the zombie crowd even in open spaces.
"That red liquid smells too real to be ketchup... And that rotten stench... And now I'm some CHICK in a red dress and high-heels in the middle of a friggin' zombie outbreak. And my buddies..." He speaks to himself, while finding it hard to believe any of the things he just spoke. His shaking knees almost made him collapse before he hears the knockings from the undead grow louder. "If I get out of this alive, I ain't watchin' anymore "...of The Dead" movies!!"
"Please!! Somebody!! Help me!!"
The scream gets more and more desperate, it feels as if it creeps into his heart and smothered some of the fear he is having from the situation. Grabbing the knife more firmly inside his right hand, he tries to run as fast as he can through the corridors -and the zombies that occasionally jerk their rigor-mortised hands toward him in attempt to grab him. 15 seconds later, which by then felt like the longest 15 seconds ever in his life, he makes it into the building, a battalion of the flesh-hungry undead following right behind him. Surprisingly, he sees only three more zombies on the first floor walkway.
He hears a scream from the same voice again. The way it echoed in the direction of the stairs right beside his position now must mean that she must be very close by the stairs as well. Wasting no more time, he gets up the ladder.
The moment he reaches the second floor, he sees a girl in a classroom right in front of him, cornered into a dead end by two obese zombies.
"God... Being obese ain't just harmful to your own health, these days..." He thinks to himself. Then again, he realizes that this is not the time to debate on healthy eating habits because the girl might be cornered into her life's end. A few milliseconds later, he gets into the classroom and towards the fat zombies, stopping at a distance just far enough from getting a surprise grab from one of them, which suddenly took a 180 degrees turn on him. Now, both zombies' attention are paid toward him.
"Hey, why... Why are YOU HERE!?" The girl said, pointing her finger at him.
"Saving your ass?!" He replies as he takes a few steps back from the two fat zombies slowly advancing on him.
"No...! NO!! I'M NOT GONNA BE SAVED BY A BITCH LIKE YOU!!"
"I almost got killed for getting here so you can at least SKIP THAT WORD!!" He begins to have a small regret, from the way the girl is treating him. Suddenly, he feels his left foot hitting something. He looks behind to see a semi-automatic handgun. Ignoring all thoughts on why a firearm is lying in a classroom, he immediately switches the knife into his left hand and grab the gun with his right hand. He fires the gun towards the two zombies: two rounds missed, three more into each of the zombies' head. After that, they both fell on their knees and fell into a (certain) death.
"Funny... this gun ain't that hard to use..." He talks to himself as he look at the gun. Then he notice that the girl is still there, sitting in a corner with her eyes dead set on him with all hatred.
"What do you intend to do!? Just shoot me like you shot Gene!"
Who's Gene? - He immediately wonders.
"You know... I almost peed in pants earlier, but I haven't gone crazy yet... I think. You sure you're OK?" Just as he ducks down and try to make some sense into her, he hears the moans again. He turns his head and see that the entire corridor is flocked with zombies. Two of them have already made their way, each into the front and back door. "Oh fuck..." A zombie siege, and a girl who probably has lost her mind. Is this the end?
