                                                           To Feel

In this 'zombie world ' the living always think they're better than the dead. Well, I suppose they are. They have a beating heart, which is pumping blood through their veins and we just have a body. But anyway, they get cocky and start shooting us in the stomach - which won't actually kill us. I approached the cockiest one, as usual... he tried to shoot me. I snatched his gun and knocked him out with it. 

As I was looking for the good parts in his useless brain, I hear a scream nearby. I looked up it was Julie, the girl this useless guy was shouting for. Her muscles are small but toned on her girlish frame. She's hiding in the corner unarmed. She's screaming as M  (my bestfriend) comes towards her. I put the remains of the brain in my front pocket and head over to her. I shove M out of the way and he just grunts at me. 

"No...mine"

"I...need.....eat"

"No. Mine"

He walks off and chews off her boyfriends arm. 

"Your name....Julie"

She nodded. 

I pointed at her and then pointed at my mouth which was surrounded in her boyfriends blood, and shook my head. I don't think she understood what I was trying to say. I took blood off my sleeve and smothered it on her head and neck. She didn't flinch or try to escape. She just...sat there. I quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her over to my jet. - I call it my jet because it's like a home to me. No one comes near, it's quiet. 

She sat down in the first class seat and wrapped a blue blanket around her that I had collected earlier. Say something human. Don't be awkward. Don't be creepy. Just say something... 

"How......are....ergghhherhhh...you"

Nailed it. 

"How am I? How do you think I feel? You just rescued me for no purpose. What are you?" 

I shrugged, and sat down beside her. She turned away and curled up and fell asleep. I'm surprised  why she hasn't yet asked why I know her name. As she was sleeping I pulled out the brains from her boyfriend and chewed. I was experiencing his memories he happened to have shared with Julie. Perry is his name. 

Julie woke up. 

"Why am I here? What is your name?" 

"Keep...you safe. Rrrrr"

"Robert? Ross?"

I shake my head. 

"Ronald?"

I shake again. 

"R. I'll call you R, at least it's a start."

I grin, and then she grins. 

R, I like that. I guess as I don't remember my real name R is a good start. 

"Hi R, I'm Julie." 

She reaches out and shakes my hand. My grey scarred mouth curves into a smile. She half smiles and goes over to my vinyls and picks a Beatles song. 'In spite of all the danger'. I swayed as the music played and so did she. Her shiny blond hair just lightly blew. She was perfect. I could somehow feel love in my heart, I feel warmth for the first time.
