This continued for a few days, maybe a week, it's hard to think really. The music from the iPod just kept on playing, keeping my thoughts to myself. I heard a nearby herd stumbling past the diner, I shook my head, cursed were we all.
"Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas
Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas
Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas
Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA"
The techno beats to one of the songs on the little pink iPod bounced through my brain dead skull, making me get off of my ghoulish ass and dance a little, something I hadn't done since before the apocalypse.
"When he comes to me I am ready
I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain
Even after three times he betrays me
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown"
I slipped on a puddle of blood by the counter and landed smack on my face. Moaning in discontentment, I squirmed around trying to figure out how to get back to my feet.
"I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fo-"
Click.
A sense of panic overcame me when I heard the music fade, leaving me alone. I tried to find the iPod to turn the music back on, grasping at nothing, moaning in anger as my sight faded from me.
"-ol, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas
Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas"
The sudden burst of music brought me to my thoughts. I stopped my mindless actions and then it dawned on me. I held a young boy, no older than twelve years old in my cold grasp, my mouth was just inches from piercing his skin and cursing him forever. I shoved him away, "NO!" I backed away slowly, shaking in fear, I had almost killed a little kid. Again. I fell over a tree root and the boy just stared at me, his fear being slightly masked by his curiosity. I shook and finally tore my eyes from the boy, his image engraved in my mind. Small, innocent, pale skin scattered with freckles, deep brown doe eyes and shaggy brown hair. I got back to my feet and ran as fast as I could make my body do, which wasn't anymore than a typical human jog. Damn disease. As i slowly got away i could hear shouts of people calling out a name, Carl, i think. They faded quickly as I left the forest and found myself on a familiar road. I found myself in the diner once again, I sat down on a bar stool and searched as best as I could through my foggy memories, trying to remember how I had found the boy. All I remembered was slipping and falling, the iPod clicking off.
"Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas
Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA
I couldn't love a man so purely
Even prophets forgave his crooked way
I've learned love is like a brick you can
Build a house or sink a dead body"
Speaking of which, the little piece of technology that brought out my mind was playing in my ears comfortingly, a noise that I hadn't heard in a while. I finally gave up on searching the endless void of activity that my body did when the music stopped. I tried digging a little deeper, my live memories fading slightly, most were fuzzy. I wasn't trying to see if I remembered anything that the CDC said on the news when the outbreak first hit. A cure, anything really. Random fuzzy images of a house, a smile, music, a audience, applause, and a book. I shook my head in confusion as this random fiction novel stepped from the fuzzy void. It was about this boy who was living in a apocalyptic world where it was him and three other humans. His heart stopped and they did something drastic to get it started again. I shook my head, I had no clue of it would work, but I was crazy enough to try it. I mean, I'm dead anyways, why not? I searched the diner, looking for a few specific things, if I had any luck in the world, then it would either start my heart up again, or I'd actually die.
"I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas
Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas"
I ended up in the parking lot, the few things that I thought I would need laying on the ground in front of me. One of the waitresses had brought her truck to work, not much gas, so it'd hopefully shut down when it ran out, I had no idea about the human world anymore. I had found some jumper cables in the back, probably in case a customer needed a jump or something on the highway. I had also grabbed a pot lid and I dragged the dead bodies out to surround the area, if this worked, I'd need to hide my scent.
"Ew
In the most Biblical sense,
I am beyond repentance
Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
But in the cultural sense
I just speak in future tense
Judas, kiss me if offenced,
Or wear an ear condom next time"
I attached the cables to the pot lid and to the car battery, I shakily started to key and swallowed a deep breath. I laid down on the concrete and picked up the pot lid. It was so got it started to burn the skin off of my fingers. I quickly dropped it on my chest and I felt like I had been hit by lightening. I started to convulse so badly, the pot lid flinging from on top of me as my body spasmed on the blacktop.
"I wanna love you,
But something's pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue,
Judas is the demon I cling to
I cling to"
I felt antagonizing pain, volts of electricity shocking every part of my body. it felt like every atom was being set on fire and exploding. my body shook viciously, curling into a fetal position on instinct. i started to heave, my food that i had forced myself to eat a few weeks ago came out, staining the blacktop. i coughed repeatedly and tears fell from my swollen dead eyes. the pain.. it was unlike anything i had ever felt before..
"I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas
Ohohohoh
I'm in love with Judas"
I felt a sudden pain in my chest that jolted me up right, the sound of a steady beat pounding in my ear loud enough to almost drown out the music that I was listening to. I felt my chest, my heart pounding under my fingers painfully.
"Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas
Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA"
Blackness entered my vision slowly taking me away into oblivion as I whispered in awe.
"It worked."
*AUTHORS NOTE*
-Gasps- IT FUCKING WORKED! What's gonna happen to Silver? Now that she's dead... But alive..
