COD Zombies Short Stories Part 2!

Insanity (MOTD)

The fire works from beyond Albert seemed to gleam in his eyes. Wonder and curiousity constantly filling his brain with different thoughts on what was happening over on true land. Escape.... The only way to survive... Escape....

"Are you alright there Al?" asks Finn who began tapping Albert on the shoulder. Albert only nods before continuing to stare at the fire works. Following his gaze Finn also looked at the various sparks of colors now realizing what he was thinking of. "They sure are beautiful..." Finn simply states before looking over at Albert who stayed quiet for the moment being. Finn wanting Albert to say at least one thing was becoming uncomfortable as the silence continued to stay on them leaving them with with the beast slowly nawing at them.

" Do you ever wonder... What its like..." Albert asks finally breaking the silence. Finn looks at him confused unsure of what to say. " The world out there, for all we know could be an illusion. It could be just there as a picture, its purpose being to torment us. Until we go insane..." Albert randomly blurts out before leaning on the edge of the building still staring at the scene in front of him.

"Al? Is something seriously up with you? Why would you sa-" Finn stops before thinking about it. Was it truly insanity? Was the whole outer world and this thought on it still being there really just a picture that they only hoped for.

"Sal constantly tells us this time we will escape... But each cycle we make just puts us at the start... Fail after fail... after fail...." Alberts words began to fade off as he became now completely engulfed in his train of thoughts. They knawed at him like a dog with a chew toy. The more he thought the harder it was to get him away from the mindset. The cycle was constantly failing and it began to take its toll. " What if... We never get out Finn? What if... We never see our loved ones again... What if..." Albert suddenly says before trailing off once more.

" Al... You've gotta stop saying that type of stuff..." Finn states before putting his hand on Albert's shoulder. " It will beat you on the inside and change you... Thoughts are what make our concious realize that the world is full of wonders we will never see again. The cycle is only to keep our hopes up even if it beats us down..." He stops before turning Albert to face him. " Its what makes us human, We constantly do these trails and errors not changing a thing with the plane and its all for almost nothing. But, it makes us keep hope... Don't lose your hope Al... We need you bud, no matter what happens to any of us we need you there to keep us in check... Alright?"

Albert only nods before looking down at the ground while Sal and Billy began building the plane with the parts laying around scattered in a disarray. Billy was mainly building while Sal sat on his ass watching and observing. From above the clouds began to form again in the dome shape with lightning bolts designing the clouds. They never covered the view of the fireworks though. Beautiful colors from beyond the island they stood at shot from a machine for the amusement of the people in San Francisco. The broken looking bridge still stood strong with another cloud forming around it.

Albert stared at the bridge with its clouds feeling almost sick to his stomach. The thought of doing this once more felt like insanity in his opinion, but at the same time the guys he was with were pretty insane. Al was only there because this group was the one whom decided they didn't need the lose end anymore when they were in prison. They didn't need the snitch...

Yet, Albert has never thought once on killing them for revenge. I wouldn't survive without them... I would just end up as another corpse... Another hopeless victim... Another... Another.... Another......

Constantly his thoughts would pull him in. The groans and screams of the undead walking creatures filling his hearing but not causing him to move. Finn being the only one who stood by him protecting Albert.
