The distance

Strange Dreams

Flamingo returned to his world, he was back in the lab
The place was empty, he took a step forward and the doors open. Flamingo was in his room, he had a white room and a big bed. He sat down on his bed and was thinking, He was so distracted with the other universe, he forgot his own world. He had been visiting other universe without Jake knowing about it.
Flamingo was staring at his window, it was night time, his mind drift off to Denis....the Denis from his world. Flamingo shook his head trying to erase his thoughts, he lay in bed and closed his eyes. He had to get some rest, he had a universe to visit.

"Flamingo!!
Flamingo woke up to see Denis,
He shook his head and got up.
"Ugh...what time is it?" Flamingo slur feeling sleepy. Denis pulled him out the room
"It 6:00, we need to restock our pantry for this winter" Denis said
Flamingo groaned and rubbed his eyes.
Denis and him got ready and got on their horses, They both ride on their horses and were traveling around town, the place was dead, no one was outside. Flamingo hardly remember the people who once lived in Roblox, he only knew his friend who had survive the zombie apocalypse, Denis was his best friend and they always stuck together, the apocalypse started 2 years ago.
The world was destroyed, and people had lost their mind. Flamingo was riding on his horse, He looked over at Denis who was looking around, Flamingo smiled and look around the city
" Wanna explore this place, there isn't any zombie in sight" Flamingo suggests,
Denis stopped his horse and got down.
"Sure, why not"
Flamingo got down and tie his horse, They both started walking around the place, Flamingo look around and saw an old poster, he rip the poster and notice the words
"Jake will save us"
Flamingo laughed, He remembered this.Flamingo smiled and threw the paper,
"What's funny" Denis questioned
"Oh, nothing " Flamingo shrugged
They were looking around and exploring the place, Denis stop his track and saw a watch, it looked nice and was sparkly. He chuckled and looked for Flamingo wanting to show him, Flamingo was collecting the fruit can he found but stop when he saw Denis holding a watch,
"For you!" Denis smile handing him the watch, Flamingo smile and put it on his wrist, Flamingo was about to thank him until he felt a presence
Denis and Flamingo looked around and a zombie appeared
They glance at each other pulling a gun out, Flamingo and Denis try shooting the zombie but it was fast, Denis try to aim and shoot but ran out of bullet.
Flamingo was about to help but he saw a zombie running towards him.
"Look out!" Denis yelled
Flamingo turn and quickly move out the way, the zombie fall down and try getting back up, Flamingo shot it in the head and quickly grabbed his stuff. They both panted and look at each other laughing, but soon the laugh stopped when Denis gasp and notice he had a bite mark. Flamingo and Denis stare at each other,
Flamingo didn't say anything but look down, Denis look up and notice that the sky was gray, It was snowing. He bite his lip and try to hold back a tear, "FUCK! Denis am sorry this I-Fuc- Denis it okay everything will be fine!" Flamingo felt tear running down his cheek, Denis look at his bite mark and back at Flamingo
"Hey...look at me" Denis said calmly
Flamingo sniff and look up
"Everything is going to be fine, you don't have to worry" Denis assured
Flamingo shook his head
and sobbed collapsing onto Denis
"This is my fault..." Flamingo cried, Denis didn't reply and hug Flamingo
They were both sitting and didn't say a word.
Denis had to leave soon, he didn't want to tell Flamingo that but it was true, he was losing time.
Flamingo would try to make joke or talk about them leaving town and going on a road trip together, but they knew that wouldn't happen.
"Flamingo...Cleetus" Denis spoke quietly,
Flamingo shut his eyes and shook his head rapidly
"I will miss you Cleetus..."Denis smile, he reload his bullet and hold the gun in his hand " Will you miss me?" Denis stutter feeling dizzy.
Cleetus took the gun from his hand and took a deep breath, he pointed the gun to his best friend head
"I'm sorry...for everything".
