It's the Z-Life

Just a little more...

We’ve been at the University for a week now. Alyssa has been helping a lot with the cure. We pulled some I am Legend shit and caught a walker to do trials. This one was roughly a 10-15 year old boy. It’s such a sad thing, but it’s for the better. We also picked up a human. Her name is Laura. She’s very funny! She ran into us at the alley we used to catch the walker.

            After our lab incident, Jake has been acting one hundred percent more boyfriend like, I mean, I don’t mind it at all! It’s awkward to do things around here that my arm is in a brace now, finally out of my hockey cast.

            I shook my head. I need to keep my eye on the ball, the cure. Being immune has definitely floated around my mind. I want to make my group able to be immune as well. I hope I can do it.

I kept an AK-47 on me as I walked around the university alone, but we had weapons spread around the facility, and walkie-talkies on us at all times. We’ve never got into exploring the university, due to my habit of finding the cure. But, it is my job to explore the university, to get my mind off the cure.

I rolled my eyes and kept walking, although I could hear the hungry bloodlust gargles of the walkers outside the building. I turned a corner and not again…

Two walkers came hauling ass in my direction. I’ve never seen them run this fast! It’s almost as if they were calling my name! I instantly shot them and watched as their rotting corpses fall to the ground, lifeless yet again. This time, I ain’t getting hurt!

I backed up into the arms of a walker I hadn’t seen. Its mouth had gotten a grip on my shoulder and bit down, hard. I held in a painful scream and my right hand went for the walkie-talkie but ended up on the knife, though I couldn’t grip it. The pain was excruciating. My blood poured down my body, as this walker ripped at me. I shifted my body weight taking me and the deadly walker down to the ground. Luckily, we fell on the button of the walkie-talkie. Why is it always me who gets hurt?

I grabbed my knife and jabbed it into the head of the walker and twisted it. I could hear the sound of its brains mixing around in its head. Once it was completely dead, again, I rushed my hand to my shoulder and I held it and stayed there.

That’s when I heard the ruffling footsteps of another walker. It was going outside. But I covered my mouth and watched it. The walker shuffled around the floor then stood in front of me. It sniffed the air and looked at me right in the eye. For a good minute we just stared at each other. Then it shuffled off outside, leaving me there.

I knew I couldn’t turn into a walker, so I was okay, but I could still bleed out. I lay there for what seemed like hours, until I stood up and waddled my way back. I couldn’t see a thing. It was all blurry, and painful to walk. I made my way to a lab. I think it was the cure lab, but it wasn’t. I shook away my pain and fought it, then I grabbed a first aid kit and emptied the table and lay on it. I give up for right now, I am in so much pain. I sat up and stitched myself together, and cleaned myself up. I heard the slightest knock on the door. I looked and of course it was Jake.

            “Does your fucking radio work?” I asked in a majorly pissed off voice. I glared at him and he tilted his head.
