Only just a dream:: Colby Brock (short story)

Only just a dream

I roll over in my uncomfortable twin bed. I groan and look over at my clock it's blank no numbers. I get out of bed and walk over to the small bar covered window and look out of it. All I see is cars crashed, garbage everywhere, and people walking weird. I walk out of my room and smell something bad and see dead people everywhere and what looks like bite marks on them. I hurry down the hallway and knock on my friend Colby's door. He opens it and comes at me with a sharp stick. I scream and he drops the stick.

"Korah I thought you were dead," he said pulling me into his arms and closing the door.
"What happened last night,"I ask quietly.
"Everyone started dying in other parts of the asylum, the other blocks are filled they started changing into um... zombies," he said fiddling with his fingers.
"Oh my gosh," I say, and he nods.
"We will get through this," he says quietly almost like he's unsure.

    "Korah if we are going to get outta' here we need to gather stuff," Colby says getting up and grabbing a sharp stick handing it to me.I take a deep breath and we walk out of his room. We walk and i trail behind him.

    "I'm going to check in this room and see if it has  anything we need," he says quietly. "You go in there and check," he points and i nod.

I start walking over to the room when i get pulled down by a zombie. I look down and see it crawling up me. Its groaning and it smells really bad I start panicking and screaming for Colby but he doesn't come. I look at its face and it has dark circles around its eyes and blood around its mouth like it had just finished a meal. I put my hand on its head pushing it back my fingers start sinking into its rotting  flesh. I start gagging and i look up again my heart sinks when I realize who it is. I see his dull blue eyes and messy blonde hair it's Sam my only friend here beside Colby here. I start crying harder seeing him like this a bite on his neck and arm. I close my eyes again and the moaning stops. I open them and i feel colbys arms around me as I cry into his chest.

"Are you ok did he bite you," colby says concerned.
"I'm ok but i-it was Sam," I say tripping over my words.
"I know," he says letting go of me. "But we need to start leaving right now if we want to live,"he says starting to walk while I walk after him.

We walk to the office and colby knocks on the door. I hear groaning and Colby pushes me out of the way he opens it and stabs the two zombies that were in there. We both walk in and look for our stuff I find a box with my name on it. I open it and get my stuff out of it. I quickly change out of my white shirt and blue scrub pants into a tank top, flannel,  ripped skinny jeans, and red vans. I grab my backpack and see Colby dressed in a black ripped shirt, blue jeans , with black nikes on. We hurry out of the old mental hospital and run.

We have been running for hours now no signs of people anywhere. It looks like it's gonna start getting dark soon. We find the nearest car and i bang on the window the zombie that was in it sat up i opened up the door and stabbed it.Colby pulls it out of the driver's seat and we both get in. The smell is horrid but it's safer than being out in the open. I lay my seat back and slowly fall asleep.

The next day I wake up in the car alone. I sit up in a small panic looking around. I see Colby's brown hair and see he's out by the side of the car sharpening a stick on the sidewalk. I calm my breathing down and get out of the car. I walk over to him and sit down next to him.

"Good Morning bright eyes," I say looking over at him.
"Morning KoKo," he says looking over slightly.

I get up and kick one of the zombies to see if its alive its not so i dig in its pockets. I find a pocket knife I attach it to my pocket then i hear groaning over by Colby. A horde of zombies was coming.

Colby jumps up and we both start running. We run till we see a fence we start yelling and see a guy with a gun.

"PLEASE DON'T SHOOT," Colby says loudly
