Brain Simulation?
Chapter 1 Why bother whit kindness?
The year doesn't matter. The world has broken down and the human race has been hunted to near extermination by zombies. You are going to be none other than the enemy to humans: a zombie. What do zombies do when there aren't humans to hunt? Definitely not what we had assumed beforehand. They are actually quite smart. The only problem they have ,besides being the walking undead, is that they have no control whatsoever around brains. Like a shark at a frenzy. But it's really not their fault! Some of them just want to be loved. Not all though.
Logan Bixbee, a little 7 year old kid, whit black hair and brown eyes, peach skin and realy tiny, lived with his Mommy and Daddy in a very happy home. He was going to visit his Grandma on the train when it was overrun by zombies and his mother caught one glimpse of him and ran away screaming. It's emotionally scarred him and now he's very insecure and nervous.
Little Logan Bixbee sniffled quietly to himself as he roamed the crowded streets aimlessly. There hadn't been a human around for what seemed like weeks and he was beginning to feel more and more like himself, which wasn't too particularly good. The other zombies that were continuing about their daily lives looked down on him with hesitant curiosity. There were plenty of orphans at first. The zombies would always take such good care of each other because they had been through similar heartaches watching themselves become monsters. But as more and more humans fell to the zombies, more and more zombies were created and more and more families were reunited. Now, Logan felt like an outsider in a world of monsters. He wiped his bloody nose and turned off the street and into an alley.
It was dark and damp, but it was away from the other zombies and he cherished the peace. With a trembling shoulder, he pushed open the door to an old abandoned building and slowly looked around. This would be home for the night. He looked at the stairs and decided it wasn't worth the work. Instead, he curled up in the corner of the room and rested his head against the cool wall.
"What are we gonna do?" he asked his Puppy quietly. He hugged it against his chest and took temporary happiness from the feeling of its dirty, soft fur. He closed his eyes as he inhaled the familiar scent of his companion and slowly managed to fall asleep.
Avril Gray, a 20 year old punk girl, whit pink hair, grey eyes and pale skin, was in a band before the zombies attack. She saw all her family and friends get eaten but she survived, still a zombie because she got bitten. She still has her good personality but still there is something about her.
Avril was in a market for food, totally against eating humans or animals. Even though she was deadly hungry it didnt bother her to eat a piece of brocoli. Since she did have enought intelligence to talk, Avril thought it would be disgusting to eat persons brains like people paint it in the movies. She didnt really get use to death, just like trying to talk when you are a baby. It was weird when she tryed to eat a cat of soo much hunger ... but didnt have the guts to eat such a tiny cute animal, so she just let him go. Just when she thought "Why to bother whit kindness when whe are all turning into monsters?". However, she keep looking in the market... still not founding a thing. Avril looked to a table, whit a bag of something in it. Of course, she runned to take it inmediately to see what was it. Her eyes get wide open when she saw what was it, "Dammit! why dog food?" she asked herself already tired of seeing the same everyday. She once needed to force herself to eat cat food, disgusting she would say. Avril walked outside madly to the dark and lonely streets, only thinking of what will happend if there is not more food in this world. She looked down a alley. Suprised of seeing a little child sleeping or just dead leaning on the wall. Avril could just walk away normaly, but there was something about him that worried her soo much. She walked closer and closer when she was finally standing right in front of him. Avril just stared at him, not knowing what to do, when words finally came out of her mouth. "Hey, you".
Logan's eyes shot open as a woman addressed him, waking him from his nap. He let out a little yelp of surprise and fear and jumped to his feet. He tried to sprint up the stairs, but his dead feet were still fairly unresponsive to what his brain told them to do. Tripping only a few stairs up, he landed hard on the steps and turned to face the woman. "Wh-what do you want?" he stammered as he hugged Puppy closer to him hoping it would protect him.
Avril suprised of seeing the kid soo desesperated. She shaked her head, and looked sadly at the poor boy. She smiled a little at him at take a few steps closer knowing that would freak him more, but she just wanted to be kinda enough... but she knew she wasent good whit kids. "Calm down buddy, i whont do anything to you..." she replied to the boy's question. "Are you... umm... okay?" the stupiest question she had ever asked now. They were death, of course he wasent gonna be okay.
"We're fine!" Logan mumbled as he buried his face in his Puppy. He peeked out at the woman with a nervous glance and squeezed his stuffed animal tighter. "What do you want from us?"
"Okay okay, i dont whant anything of you...guys" she replied looking at the stuffed puppy in his arms, damn he was cute. "I will just... go back.. and.." she murmured half turning and then looking weirdly at the kid. "Are you gonna stay?".
"We don't have nowhere else to go," Logan sniffled almost inaudibly. He picked himself up off the ground and wiped the dirt and dust off his ripped pants.
Avril looked sadly at the kid, how come he is soo lost an lonely?. She looked around and sighed "Okay kid, im not going anywere.. im just hanging around, you coming whit me or you stay" she said hoping the kid to say yes, its been along since she had ever talk to someone... or be whit someone.
Logan hesitated before hopping down off the steps and grabbing one of her hands. He looked up at her with a faint smile and swung his puppy back and forth in his other hand.
Avril smiled shyly at the cute little kid, he was soo cute she could just hug him... but she didnt dare, Avril was still pretty shy to new people. She pressed tightly his little hand and tryed to find somewhere safe where they can be all night.
"D-do you know where we're going?" Logan asked as they wandered about. He had no idea which part of town they were in and he was hopelessly lost already. That fact alone was making him nervous and jumpy and with every unexpected sound he clung to the woman's leg.
"No, not really.." she whispered and looked at the kid noticing how scared he was. Avril smiled a bit. "Come here" she said taking him in her hands and leaning him on her chest as she keep walking in the dark. "there must be some place around here..."
Logan hugged himself against her body and closed his eyes tightly. "Why didn't we just stay back where I was?" he asked quietly.
"its cold out there, and we need to be safe" she replied under her breath. The truth was that Avril was concerned about the kid. She wouldnt just stay in a alley in the cold night whit any type of danger AND whit the kid. Avril was never this worried before... about someone.
"Oh...ok," Logan said without really understanding the difference. He didn't really know if he could just trust adults like this anymore, but she seemed nice enough and confident in her decisions. Logan just nodded his head and hugged tighter to her.
