Ch 1 Hell
Day 1
July 5, 2012
It was a just an ordinary day.
During lunchtime, my close friend invited me to ditch school together with him at the rooftop.
Yuno- "Come on it will be fun."
Yuno- "Our next class is boring anyway."
I closed the book I'm reading.
Zach- "Even it is, it doesn't mean the lesson won't be in the next test."
Yuno- "Test and lesson, that shit won't help us later on in the future."
Yuno- "Like why are we learning things such as survival of the fitness and how to make tools blah."
Zach- "That lesson were learning is actually going to help us in the future, to be honest with you."
Zach- "No offense though."
Yuno- "It's alright but right now we're living in a modern society, where you use technology and advanced tools."
Yuno- "We don't need those shits."
Zach- "You never know."
Then he becomes desperate.
Yuno- "Come on dude, were running out of time."
Yuno- "I really want to ditch out today seriously!"
Zach- "(Goodness this guy.)"
I give in.
Zach- "Fine, just this once."
Yuno- "Oh hell yea! You're the best man!"
Zach- "You better treat me something good, so I won't punch your gut later because I miss a class for nothing."
Yuno- "Gosh, you doubt me too much, of course, I'll treat you man, big time!"

While on the bus, heading to the city I'm hearing something from the bus radio that is oddly suspicious.
Radio- "This is the reporter and reporting in for the news."
Radio- "It seems there's a big problem happening-."
For some reason, he didn't finish his sentence.
Radio- "I advise everyone to stay vigilance and stay out of trouble."
Radio- "That is all."
Then it cuts to a jazz music playing.
Yuno- "Well that was wired."
Yuno- "What do you think that reporter was gonna say before he stops for some reason."
Zach- "I don't know…"
Then we saw outside of the window, that there are so many police cars passing by.
Yuno- "I wonder what's happening right now."
Zach- "..."
Both of us are getting worried and for some reason, I got a bad feeling about all this but we still continue our trip to the city.
.
.
.
.
Zach- "..."
Just arrival to the city, things are calm but something on the atmosphere is unsettling.
Yuno- "You feeling, what I'm feeling Zach?"
Zach- "Yeah…"
Zach- "Something definitely is going on."
Then…
*BOOM!*
Yuno & Zach- "?!"
An unexpected explosion occurred just near us. It was a car running over an oil tank and exploded in the process.
*ALARM!*
Then the city alarm goes on as people running away from something.
We start panicking.
Yuno- "D-Dude what's going on?!"
Zach- "Like I know?!"
I took this chance to ask one of the panic civilians.
Zach- "Excuse me, sir, what's going on?! What are you guys running away from."
Panic Civilian- "From that!"
He points and there are these people who look dead and eating the civilian they caught.
I feel disturbed and confused about why the people are eating one another.
Panic Civilian- "Kid if I were you I'll be running away right now."
Zach- "What are those things anyway."
Panic Civilian- "I-I don't know, they were originally healthy people until they got eaten by those things and come back alive as they do the same thing to those who aren't like them!"
Panic Civilian- "Come on! We need to go!"
Zach- "Yuno, let's go, man!"
Yuno- "Y-Yeah."
We continue to run and run together with the panic civilians as we heard screams from the people who are caught by those things and eaten alive.
Yuno- "?!"
*Bump*
Yuno- "Ugh!"
Zach- "?!"
It seems like Yuno trip into something and fell down.
Zach- "You okay?!"
Yuno- "Y-Yeah, but my ankle."
I looked at his ankle and looks bad. I don't think he could run for a while.
Zach- "Shit!"
I decided to grab his left arm and put it on the back of my neck as I lift him up and we start walking as fast as we can.
Yuno- "Zach, you…"
Zach- "If you're thinking I'm leaving you behind, the answer is a big no!"
Yuno- "But you'll slow down and those things will catch up to us."
Zach- "Fuck that, I'm not leaving you!"
Yuno- "..."
Yuno- "Zach, were best friends right?"
I immediately know where this is going.
Zach- "Don't you fucking dare start that now."
Zach- "I just need to find a building for us to hide and be safe for a while without those things chasing our butts."
Yuno- "Dude just leave me behind!"
Zach- "NO!"
Zach- "(Just a building for us to hide for a while, come on, come on!)"
I spotted a convenience store. I decided to take that building to keep ourselves safe.
We hurried to the store. As we got in, I saw no one in the store anymore, I guess they evacuate.
Anyway, we went behind the counter and to the employee's door. I block the door right away with boxes I found in this room after I turn on the lights.
Yuno- "To think we survive that."
Zach- "Fucking hell."
Zach- "Please do have faith on me more you bastard."
Yuno- "Haha...sorry and thanks."
Yuno- "For not giving on me."
I smiled.
Zach- "Of course, you are my best friend and best friend don't give up on each other."
Yuno- "Haha, you bet."
Zach- "Okay let's see what's inside this room."
I look around and it looks like this room is a storage room. These boxes have canned food and other stuff that is very useful for us.
To tell you the truth, we can live in this room for weeks or even months with all these supplies.
Zach- "(The only problem about this room is…)"
This room doesn't have any windows or any other rooms. If the two of us make this place as our home it would be a problem if one of us wanted to take a shit or pee. We don't want to pollute the room with bad air.
Although, if we make the outside of this door a safe place, then this problem would be solved because we can use the outside like our bathroom.
Zach- "(Although right now, I need to find something for Yuno to rest.)"
Zach- "(Or some medicine that could help his ankle heal fast.)"
I search the storage room and I did find a medicine that relieves pain but I didn't find anything for Yuno to rest comfortably.
Yuno- "What you got there?"
Zach- "Medicine, drink it. It will loosen up the pain you're having with your ankle"
I gave him the medicine and a water bottle.
Yuno- "Thanks, will do."
I went to grab some chips on one of those boxes as I gave one for Yuno too and I sit beside him.
I open it and start eating it slowly.
Zach- "..."
Yuno- "..."
A matter of a second, Yuno started a conversation.
Yuno- "How the hell did this happen, man…"
Yuno- "We were just gonna have fun in the city and go home afterward since we ditch school."
Yuno- "But fuck...I didn't think of this would happen."
Looks like my friend is stressed out and against the reality that is happening right now. I do too, to be honest.
Because what we saw outside wasn't good, no good at all. I think it gave us a little trauma really.
Zach- "Hey man, it isn't your fault that this happened."
Zach- "At least we're alive and safe from being eaten."
Yuno- "Hahaha, very funny you think will survive from staying here."
Zach- "Well couple of mouths and so. It's a convenience store for christ sake."
Zach- "Will be okay, trust me."
He sighs in relief.
Yuno- "...If you say so, man."
Then I just remember my parents.
I took out my phone and start calling for them.
Yuno- "Zach?"
Zach- "Call your parents if they're alright."
He was surprised to hear that.
Yuno- "O-Oh alright."
We called our parents and nobodies picking up. We tried and tried again, the result is the same.
Both of us stare at our phones.
Yuno- "I'm worried now."
Zach- "Same, but let's hope they're safe."
Yuno- "Mm."
I tried calling the police station.
Yuno- "Who are you calling now?"
Zach- "The police station."
Zach- "I wanted to know if they got this problem undercovered."
Yuno- "Like they can fix that problem outside-"
I interrupt him by making a sign to be quiet because someone picked up the line.
I immediately hear gunshots on the background.
Before I say anything the policeman said
(Phone) Policeman- "If you are a civilian! PLEASE DON'T GO OUTSIDE!"
(Phone) Policeman- "I REPEAT DON'T GO OUTSIDE!"
(Phone) Policeman 2- "HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING, END THAT CALL!"
The call ended immediately after the other policeman said so.
Yuno- "Woah…"
Zach- "They must be fighting those things right now."
Yuno- "Yeah, I can even hear the gunshot from that phone of yours."
Zach- "Well, will just stay here until we know it's safe to go outside."
Yuno- "How the hell would we know it's safe?"
Zach- "By my phone duh, I still got the data on me."
Yuno- "Ohh yeah, you can use that to see the news report on the internet with your phone."
Zach- "Yup."
Speaking of phones.
Zach- "Anyway how much battery do you still have on your phone?"
Yuno- "Not much, 20%."
Yuno- "Yours?"
Zach- "70%"
Yuno- "You still have more battery then I am."
Zach- "Yeah, so turn off yours and will just use mines."
Yuno- "Okay."
Continue eating the chips we opened, we start another talk.
Zach- "Yuno."
Yuno- "Hm?"
Zach- "This is the first day of a very bad event."
Zach- "Let's say an apocalypse."
Yuno- "It's an apocalypse alright."
Zach- "Yeah, by the way, do you want to name those things."
Yuno- "Sure, how about Zombie?"
Zach- "Haha, what a fitting name for those shits."
Zach- "How did you come out a name like that so quickly?"
Yuno- "Dunno, just appear in my mind so suddenly when you said you wanted to name them"
Zach- "Hmm, sometimes you surprised me a lot Yuno."
Yuno- "Haha, thanks for the compliment, even I'm an idiot."
Yuno- "By the wanna hear a joke?"
Zach- "Sure."
A couple of days later the first news came and it was the last news because there's no more news came out on the internet after that and for some reason, the cellular data is down.
The news says that the policies failed to intercept those things which are the zombies. The military for some reason has mysteriously gone missing so those zombies spread like wildfire all over the city and the countryside They advise the remaining survivor if their reading the news is to stay inside and hope for help to come.
Which It didn't.
Luckily for us, we have food and water here but for those who are not, I pray for their survival.
A weeks later, we decided to go outside for the first time and see how the world has come into and It wasn't pretty. Each day we continue to survive and learn so many new things with the world right now and there aren't delightful.
But just as soon we thought we got everything undercovered, It didn't last that long...
Day 62
September 8, 2012
Zach- "Shit!, shit!"
Zach- "Yuno! Don't be dying on me!."
Yuno- "Haha...dude for real...kill me."
I began to cry.
Zach- "N-No! We have been through a lot together and just hold on. I'll find an antidote right now!."
Yuno- "There's no antidote for this man-"
Yuno- "*Coughing Blood* *Coughing Blood*...Seriously, I don't want to turn into a zombie…and I don't want to suffer anymore...It's too late for me..."
Yuno- "I rather get killed by you man...so please...*Coughing Blood* do my selfish wish."
Zach- "AGUHHHHHHHHH!"
Not long ago, I and Yuno went outside. This time we were going to see if our parents were fine or already dead, we did that by hijacking a car and drive for the first time. It was actually very easy.
By the way, how did we start the car without keys? Well, when I was a kid my father taught me how to start a car with no key. You remove the screws that are holding the electrical part (the part with the wires) and the mechanical part of the ignition switch together. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the keyhole and turn in the same direction as you would your key. This will start the car.
Anyway, we arrived at our destination and my friend got bitten by her mother who's already dead. Which leads me to kill his mother with the gun I have and evacuating the area.
I didn't know my parents were fine or not but I have a feeling they are already gone.
When we just got back from our trip and I brought Yuno inside the convenience store which we fortify from the past, It's safer now.
Although his very sick and dying slowly also we learn something so valuable. If you get bitten by those zombies, you are done for, unless you get an antidote which I believe there is none.
I don't want to think Yuno my best friend as an experiment but by observing him since the bite and till now. I think I know how the disease progresses in stages.
0-1 hours: The victim shows no symptoms, but is probably still responding to the actual injury of the bite.
1-2 hours: Infected victims sweat profusely and appear in some degree of pain. They are still lucid and able to speak. They may also experience intrusive hunger pangs.
2-3 hours: The victim is in severe pain, convulsing, and can no longer interact. Victims may also display swollen blood vessels or dark skin splotches around the bite wound.
Currently, I don't know how much time has passed but I think it's around 2 hours or so.
If I have to guess the if I wait for a little more longer like 4-24 hours the victim will be a zombie but is only starting to decompose and 24+ hours the victim is a seemingly non-sentient zombie incapable of interacting. This is just a guess, so I'm not so sure about it.
Zach- "I'll never forget you, never…"
Yuno- "...Ehehe,...same goes for me…."
I began to cry a lot as I point the gun on his forehead.
Yuno- "…. Zach It was fun surviving together with you."
Yuno- "Please do continue to live, even I'm gone."
Zach- "Yes...I promise you that...my man. I promise…"
Yuno- "Good…"
He closed his eyes and smile peacefully as I slowly pulled the triggered.
*BANG!*
My brother, my close friend, my best friend who has been with me since my childhood days, died during that day.
It was a tragic day and a trigger of my sole purpose to eradicate all the zombie and survived until the end. This is my life in the zombie apocalypse.
Ch 1 Hell End.
