It's been 2 months and a week since the Zombie Apocalypse. 2 months ago I was living my normal life, working in a small band, alive.

Taemin looked into a mirror inside a bathroom, noticing his pale white skin, looking almost a sick Grey color, his left arm had some bite marks, and his right was bandaged up since it had some missing skin from being bit off. "this is bad..." he looked down, his legs were mostly the same as his arms so anywhere he looked on his body it was either filled with bites or wounds. He got away from the mirror so he wouldn't go into panic again. He walked out of the bathroom and outside was the city, all torn up and invaded with zombies.

'It has been a week since I've been turned into...this...and I still can't get used to walking around with them freely' Taemin thought as he began walking around, he saw many zombies that weren't like him, those were long gone from being in control of their body. Taemin walked around the city, without having anything to do, other than just walk around.

'Would I be considered a zombie? When I was around them...they don't go in my direction or try attacking me, but I'm not human either..' he touched his chest 'I've noticed my heart doesn't beat anymore, I've gone days without eating and I feel fine' Taemin wondered, he continued walking around, passing by what used to be stores and restaurants. He noticed the city park nearby and walked towards it, seeing all the zombies walking with either a limp leg or even without a leg, just crawling.

'I'll never get used to this..im not like them' he sat down by a bench and looked up at the blue cloudy sky 'Is there others like me??'
He closed his eyes for a second before hearing a loud scream coming from afar. He opened his eyes and stood up immediately looking at the direction of the scream. He began running over only for the scream to stop immediately, Taemin saw a hoard of zombies around one area

"Shit.." he stared at the hoard gathered up.
'It was so quiet around me I forgot what kind of world I live in now..' he began walking off immediately, away from the scene. His breath began getting heavy, he tried feeling his heart but forgot he didn't have a pulse.
'Will I ever turn like them soon?? Or am I stuck like this forever?? What do I do???' He stopped by an alleyway, went in, and sat down on the floor leaning up against the wall, instinctively 'hiding' from the zombies, after all, it's only been a week.
'I wish I could've saved that person...I definitely could've, I wish...someone saved me...'
He curled up and rested his head on his knees.
Taemim ended up falling asleep there, without moving an ounce. He ended up sleeping for a good while but as soon as he woke up, he wished he didn't.

Taemin ended up wandering the whole city for weeks, he got bored every day but he wasn't sure what else he should be doing, he tried going into every building to see what each was, and trying to find any people, but all he found were remains of them. He didn't exactly feel like going out of the city as he saw no point in it, he instead waited until his body rotted and withered away every day.

[A few weeks later]

Taemin was lying down on top of the rooftop of a big building, looking at the stars since they were much more visible now because of the reduction of light, it was the only thing keeping him sane at this point.

'They're so beautiful up there...' he stared at them in awe, even hoping to find some shapes in them. 'I want to be just like them...free and shining above...' he reached out a hand but immediately dropped it 'Why am I still alive...here...waiting to rott and die...? I could just go get myself shot if I could...then I'd be joining the stars like I've been dreaming. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted. he began hearing some bangs coming from below. He sat up and peeked over from the edge of the building 'There are people here..???' He kept looking around, but he couldn't see them. He got up and began rushing down 'Maybe I can ask them for help...' He made his way down the building, he saw a huge hoard of zombies walking over to a closed store. 'They're probably hiding in there' he stopped himself before going further.
