“Mr. Stockman. I’m glad to see that you were able to escape.” A man said. It was Arnold Jacobs. “Where are Sargent Masterson and his escort?”
“They were both killed during our escape, most unfortunate, I owe them my life. “
Jacobs shook his head, and said, “Masterson was a good man. At least he died heroically.”
I couldn’t tell Jacobs that I had killed Masterson to save my own ass. I did regret having to kill him though, but I wasn’t going to linger on the past.
“What’s the damage report?”
“All three sectors have gone red, and the number of infected are rising rapidly. According to our life support sensors, there are only a handful of survivors left in the other sectors.”
“And what of Dr. Asimov?”
“The sensors were able to pick up his life signs in sector two. However, that area is heavily infested and any attempts of rescue would be futile.”
“What of ‘X’?”
“We were able to capture him using stun grenades and electric bindings. He will be transported out of here along with other test subjects in a cryogenic container, by order of the chairman.”
“Is my transport ready? I have a lot to explain, and I don’t know what to say.”
Jacobs nodded and led me back outside, then escorted me to a jeep parked outside the room. It was total chaos in the hangar, and I was one of the lucky few who would be getting out sooner than everyone else. I entered the jeep, and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
“Jonah,have a good trip, and good luck with the president.”
I stared into his eyes and nodded. With that, the jeep began to move, and I was on my way out of this hell.
Just read the story and I’ve got to say that you caught my interest on how the story progresses. I’ll look forward to the next episode.
I had to look up quite a few words as a non native English speaker. Well, I could’ve understood everything without looking the words up in a dictionary but I always have the urge to comprehend every little word and meaning there is behind it.
Keep it on.
Whoa, nice read so far (read page 1, no time for the rest right now ^^)
Thanks you ^_^. I have the second story written already, I’m just waiting for more viewers to get a good following before I post up the story. Also, if you have any good ideas that might make the story better, feel free to suggest something. My goal is to make these stories into an online graphic novel so that zombie enthusiasts everywhere can enjoy it.
This is intense. The way that the main character is not visibly effected by the deaths of the others and his emotionless and calculating thoughts make him relatively unique in the zombie apocalypse genre. It makes for a superb relief from the stupidity of other protagonists in ZA stories and makes him seem like a boss. Can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I have so much fun writing stories like these. I will be posting up the second story as soon as I fix all the typos and grammatical errors. Again, I’m glad you enjoyed this.
If you guys could, tell your friends about this story. I want to give it as much publicity as possible. I will posting the second story tonight.
Actually the reference to Asimov is amazing, but he was supposed to be more of an obviusly good guy (remember the three laws of robotic sciences, as stated by Isaac Asimov). But well I guess it’s all right since these are Zombies, or rather “infected”, so these laws don’t have to apply and Asimov can be a bad guy for instance.
I had that in mind when creating Asimov. In this story, Anatoly Asimov is a good guy, it’s his understudy, Jonah Stockman, who is the villain. I’ll provide a background story for Asimov as the story progresses.
Well, then I’ll be looking forward to it.
