Mercy

Aphrodite Cummings

I sighed as my car rolled to a stop in front of a line of zombies. I got out of my car and assessed the situation. They were all chained together and held down by concrete blocks. If I drove over this it could ruin my car.

I just found this car a couple of miles ago. I can't be walking again.

"Aren't you Aphrodite Cummings?" The zombie asked a question. Did a zombie just speak? I barely had time to question my sanity, before they pulled guns. Fuck.

"All we want is the car. We don't want to hurt you, and all you have to do is hand over the car."

A small car came from behind me and I noted it was more of their men. What could I do against all of these men? Nothing.

I watched with anger as they took my car, most of my weapons, and my food.

I was practically defenseless. I just hoped that no one would recognize me, and you know stop to rape me.

"I could seriously go for a burger right now."

I was reduced to talking to myself. I hadn't had a human companion in months. The first human interaction I had was getting robbed.

Was is possible to forget your own name? I couldn't remember my given name. Was it girly? Did it fit me? I could vaguely remember seeing it on my birth certificate but it was blurry.

After I took on the name, Aphrodite Cummings, I never went back to being whatever I was called. Being a pornstar was glorious. I was always being took care of. Yeah, people saw me be fucked, people saw me fucking other people, and doing less than appropriate things with my mouth but they loved me.

I was the Beyonce of porn. I was the one that was being shipped to different places just to see me fuck a different person. I made millions and I was at the highest peak of my adult acting career. It was kinda like the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

One day, I was living the dream and the next...the world was ending. People were eating people in the streets, blood was everywhere, and nothing went back to being the same. Zombies had took over everything.

I could remember searching up the zombie lore, before everything went out and I learned that a bite was fatal, they came back instantly, and you had to give them mercy.

Mercy.

That was all I had to give these days. I had to mercy the Z's, the people I came across that begged for it, and the zombanimals. They were the worst. I loved animals, yet they were dead and they were trying to eat me and I wanted to live for whatever reason.

I came across a cluster of stores and sighed. Maybe they had something I could use. I checked my rounds of the gun that I did have and...only three bullets. Great. I could use my machete, but I didn't know how many zombies I was going up against.

I moved on from the first building. About 15 z's were wondering around in that store and I didn't want to take my chances. I made my way to the next store and wow. It was an adult store.

A life-size cutout of me stood at the front of the store. A large poster of me was glued to the window. In red letters someone had left me a note.

If you see this, Aphrodite Cummings, I love you. -Dawn

I love you too, Dawn, wherever you are. Whoever you are. Hopefully, you aren't a Z because that would be uncomfortable.

I managed to find another car, and was on my way. It felt good to be driving again. The wind was blowing lightly, and it wasn't many Z's. This is what you could consider a good day in the apocalypse. If only I could find some food and water.

I saw a family of blondes standing on the road. They were flagging me down, and of course I stopped they had children.

As soon as I stopped, the guns were pulled. My hands went up in the air as they dad pulled me out of my car.

I was being robbed...again.

"Get out of the car! Get out of the car!"

"Not again! Please!" I laid on the road as they all piled in the car that I had to hotwire and find gas for.

"Can I at least have a ride!?"

My bag was thrown beside me and I was grateful that they didn't have to give me my bag.

I started to walk again. I briefly wondered where the Z's was. It was quiet...too quiet.

"I have to get off of this highway."

I could smell them almost a mile away. They smelled like decay, and I wondered of that was what death smelled like. The sloppy chomping of them eating something brought me back to earth.

I came across a group of about six eating...the men that robbed me the first time. I felt sick as I looked around. I only had three bullets. Is this where the road ends? Is this where I die? I pulled out my gun and was ready.

The first one ran towards me. My first instinct was to run but I steadied my arm. It was a big one and if it managed to get me down, then I probably would stay down. Until I came back up as a Z.

The second one quickly came up behind the big one, and I can do this. I can do this. I lifted up my gun and pulled the trigger. I watched with a sick satisfaction as the bullet impaled itself into the Z's head. Blood and pieces of brain flew everywhere while it's eyeball fell to the ground.

The bullet kept going. It kept going and imbedded itself into the second zombie's eye. Blood ran down from the wound as it eventually fell to the ground.

I had two more bullets and four bodies to drop. This should be a piece of cake.

I stood in front of these nice people begging for a ride. I mean, yeah, they were already packed with people, but I would die out here.

The leader, Charles, invited me with them as I climbed over some people and sat on the girl's...Cassandra's lap.

Everyone stared at me. The man that mentioned I was a pornstar. Warren, Addy and Doc wouldn't stop looking at me. Garnett, at least, had the decency to look down when I looked up and saw him staring.

10k just didn't know what to do with himself. His eyes lingered on my cleavage, and he couldn't even look at me without blushing. Murphy was just flat out staring but I don't think he cared. The only cool person was Mack. He didn't pay any attention to my pornstar title.

We came up on my car and apparently their truck that someone had stole. The blonde family lay beside the wreckage dead and covered in flies.

"That's the blonde family that robbed me!" I made eye contact with Warren and wow she's a stunner.

"We need to get off of this highway."

I agreed with Garnett. It was only going to get us killed. After being told about the mission I agreed to join. I wouldn't be just Aphrodite Cummings the pornstar. I could be Aphrodite Cummings, the woman that's helping to save the world. (And I could find out my real name on this journey)

Watch out everyone, here comes the new and improved Aphrodite Cummings.
