Just Ozzie

Chapter 6

Surprisingly, the bed in my room was actually comfortable. The blankets were warm, it was quiet, and I felt protected from the zombies. Though the room still smelled like death.

The night was quiet and I couldn't hear a single zombie. I lied in bed staring at the metal wire that an old lady and a young boy used to kill themselves.

I couldn't push those two out my thoughts. They died holding hands and smiling, they were happy to die. Happy that they were finally leaving this horrid world. Everybody is killing themselves because it's the easy way out.

What if it really is the best way out? What if that's the purpose of God sending the zombies, so we can end it ourselves and stop relaying on him to do it for us. The purpose of the zombies is to kill everyone. But how are the zombies suppose to do that when we're still fighting for our lives? Maybe...we're not suppose to fight.

What am I thinking, God wouldn't intend for that. Staring at the wires were making me think these depressing thoughts, so I turned away from them.

Now that I was on my side, my body felt more relaxed and I felt more and more sleepy.

Its hard to stay awake when you're tired and in a warm cozy bed. I'm sure Ashley and Kayla are asleep.

I wish I didn't have nightmares and a bed wetting problem. I doubt that there are extra sheets in the house. And Leola isn't here to make the nightmares go away...

I sighed and tried to get out of bed but I was too tired and comfortable to move. Staring at the wires will most likely keep me awake hopefully.

I turned on my back and stared up at the wires. Sad thoughts filled my head but didn't keep me awake.

My eyelids began to get heavy. I quickly blinked multiple times and shook my head. They still felt heavy.

I need to get up now...but I can't. I held open my eyelids with my fingers and planned to stay awake like this all night.

Slowly, my fingertips started to weaken and my eyelids slipped through finally closed.

In seconds I was knocked out.

Suddenly, I was in a giant abyss of darkness. The only thing that filled the darkness were the infinite hangmen. Tears rolled down my face. Its so sad looking at all these people who had killed themselves. I didn't like seeing people kill themselves, it's making me scared. I remembered what Leola told me what to do when I was scared so I took off my bow and squeezed it in my hand.

Standing here staring at these people wasn't going to do any good, I needed to find help. I pushed the hanging man to the side and started walking. Each time I had to touch one, I shuttered

A light flashed on in the distance. A bunch of tall figures stood still under the light. Eager to get out the darkness, I rushed over to the light.

I finally got there to see everyone I've met frozen in place in a type of pose. Everyone as in Hailey, Yael, Rick, Tyler, Alex, Tyreese, Dennis, Mrs. Hoble, Mommy, Daddy, uncle, Crash, Adam, Jonah, Hudson, Lexy, Josh, Simon, and Steve.

They all looked happy as if they had nothing to worry about. In the front stood Hailey.

She was frozen in the thumbs up pose she always gives me. I slowly walked closer to her.

"Hailey". I murmured. I touched her face.

Immediately her pose changed. She was posed like she was going to pounce on me. She was zombiefied.
