Chapter 11, Day 7: Sam

My head hurts. I can still feel the crushing weight of the door as it collapsed on me, six times. I can feel myself getting shot in the head, four times. Yet I’m still alive. Now I’m alone though. Oh, there are others with me, but they aren’t like me. They’re just humans waiting to become like me.

I moan in pain, but also to see what they’ll do.

“When did he start doing that?” Michelle asks the guards on either of me.

“Uh, a minute ago, when you were firing at the zombies,” one of them nervously replies.

“Sam, can you hear me?”

I moan some more, keeping my eyes closed. I figure she’s strung me out, and I might as well return the favor in my own way.

“You think it’s a coincidence that he started moaning, just when we killed the zombies holding the door?” another voice asks. I recognize that voice. It’s Garret. One of the targets Michelle was supposed to take out, but clearly hasn’t.

“I don’t know. He told me he could sense zombies, so maybe he sensed their deaths,” Michelle says. She’s right that I sensed their deaths. It was so painful to be there with them when they died.

“Maybe.”

I can hear the doubt in Garret’s voice. He’s onto me, but then again he’s had experience with dear old Reggie, so he has an idea of what to look for.

“Let’s worry about it later.”

I can hear the impatience in Michelle’s voice. She’s always ready for the next thing, the next person, and whatever else. I know she’s keeping something from me. She broke up with me and for a moment I saw relief when I told her I was a zombie. It gave her a way out.

I stop moaning after another minute. As fun as it is to annoy them with the sound, especially because they still think I’m out of it, it’s not useful for gathering information. I feel the other zombies fading away from me, their light becoming more defuse. I wish I could help them get through the door they closed, but I’m too far away, and what I can sense of them now tells me they’re too caught up in whomever they’re munching on.

The van suddenly stops. Why are they stopping? I listen very carefully.

“When I flick this switch the base goes off and the scrambler will stop broadcasting, which means your ear com will go live. All of us need to watch what we say from here out. Understood?”

No one replies. Then I hear a click and then the van starts up again. A dull rumbling sound occurs, and then another, and at the same time the lights of those zombies just cuts out. They’re gone. I’m alone. I want to moan, but I force myself to keep silent. They’re gone now, my zombie kin are gone. My new family is dead.

Then I feel it. There’s this one light, stronger than the rest. It’s still dimly lit. I reach out.

It’s her, Joanna.
