I am dreaming and It seems cannot wake up. The whole world was thrown in chaos. You can feel the despair in the air. People upfront battling zombies. It is like I am stuck in apocalyptic movie where people can conjure fire in their hands and ice for a sword. It feels so surreal that I am here at the back of this all and giving my support to cast up shield and protect them from being bitten.

I don’t know how long we are doing this but it seems forever and I am exhausted from this never-ending battle. The battle was fierce, the stench of blood and agony lingers the air. Some of the fighters were dead and others are constantly becoming weak and powerless. It’s getting harder and harder for me to cast shield. I feel sooner or later, I won’t be able to cast it anymore. The zombies are continuously coming towards us. I do not know how but me and a friend got separated from the other fighters.

A hoard of zombies rushed to us and then I felt a push behind me. I tried my best to look at her, my face probably showing confusion. I want to ask her but no words were left from my mouth. I heard her say “Sorry, I want to live”, tears flow down her face and hurriedly run away.

As if time stops, my head was buzzing with questions why. Is this human greed to stay alive that can make people sacrifice one another? Are the thoughts in my head as the hoard of zombies near me. I was bitten in the arms and wake me up in reality. Yes! I was sacrifice by her in order for her to live. I laughed as I feel the numbing pain crawling onto my skins. NO! I refused to die! I am not someone that can be sacrificed like this. The pain stops in my heart then something exploded inside of me. Everything becomes fuzzy but not the anger build within me.

Madness had taken over me. I saw her, who is running away, bump into air or was it my invisible shield hahaha. She looks back at me with tears. What a cute frighten rabbit. A creepy smile makes way into my lips and ask her “Are you afraid”.

“I’m sorry. I beg of you.” She said.

“Aren’t we friends? I just want to share to you what I experienced” I said smilingly at her. That frighten look of hers I want to see more.

I cast up shields and make sure she doesn’t escape. The zombies that have been forgotten by came rushing in and avoiding me it seems. I watched her being torn apart and eaten alive. I heard her pains and cries but I just look. Once all was done and sure she was dead and with torn apart bodies she will never become a zombie. I would not want someone to take a revenge on me.

What should I do now? I could no longer go back. I tear off my clothes and just lay it on ground. This will do it. Let's pretend that we are dead to the world. Grab a shirt on one abandon shop and some food. And I was gone just like that.

Then I woke up.
