I jerk awake in a cold sweat. I feel a shooting pain in my arm. I try grabbing for my aching limb, but I can’t move. I’m lying down in restraints again. The stress on my body is immense and I can’t help that I’m all jittery. My hands are shaking. I’m really freaking out.

“Am I dead?”

“We thought we lost you, but no, quite the opposite. Welcome back,” Brie says.

“W-What are you doing?”

“Taking blood. Monitoring you.”

“Get off of me! Let me out of here!” I struggle with my restraints again.

“You really need to relax.”

“Relax? You’re trying to kill me!”

“On the contrary, we want to save you and everyone else on this planet who’s infected.”

“I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you,” I repeat, sweating profusely.

“She’s getting stronger. That’s good, but I’m concerned about her fever,” Brie says to Malik. “Her face is getting red. Feel her forehead. Do something about it. Strip her clothes off. Get some ice packs.”

Malik points to his lab coat crew to get them moving on Brie’s instructions.

“Working on it,” one of them responds.

Brie turns back to face me and continues the conversation. “I have to give you credit. You put up a good fight with all of those zombies in there. No weapons. No assistance. You took a couple of them out all by yourself before they overwhelmed you.”

“Is that what you wanted? A show?”

“It’s not a show. On the contrary, this crap happens every day all over the world. People turn everyday. We can’t let this continue to happen. We can’t let all of these people die in vain. We have to find a cure, a vaccination that works for everyone.”

The lab assistant comes back with the ice packs and begins to cut off my clothes. He wraps the ice packs in towels and then places them all over my body. I flinch when he first puts them on my hot skin. A few minutes in, they feel cold. And I’m not burning up anymore.

“We wanted a realistic yet contained depiction of how people react, how the infection spreads, and the aftermath,” she says. “Then we take blood, see how the infection progresses within the body, and implement experimental serums to see if we have a cure on hand.”

“And? How’s it going so far?” I say trying to remain calm as I cough up blood, realizing that these insane people are my only hope right now.

“We’re still working on it, but don’t give up. If we can stabilize you so that you’re on the mend, we’re going to repeat this process a couple of times.”

“A couple of times? So you’re not going to kill me, but torture me instead?”

“Not torture, test. To save us from these unholy monsters.”

I hear her words, but it’s becoming ever so difficult to understand them. The once-cold ice packs don’t even feel cool anymore. I’m warm again – burning up is more like it. I close my eyes. Maybe this is all a horrible nightmare? My eyes pop back open and I can see the zombies converging on me again.
