Survivors Challenge #01

I

You are Lex, a soldier trying to survive in a world filled with infected zombies everywhere. You have an automatic rifle and a grenade. Your unit lost a lot of men when the infection broke, but you've managed to keep the small town you're stationed near safe for now. You look over the town and think about the future, it's not going to be easy you know, but hey, you're still young and strong, you've got years ahead of you.

You attack zombie.You charge forward with your rifle raised. The battle is going a little slow for you. The zombies are weak in numbers but they're tough and won't die easy. You call for back up as you're surrounded, you need more guns to help take out these zombies.Backup arrives in the form of 3 men, they have heavy machine guns and are very useful. You look around your current position, you have a wall behind you and a large building in front of you. You're going to make a run for the building, take it over and clear the surrounding area.

You begin to head for the door of the building when you hear gunfire coming from your left, you quickly look over and see a large mass of infected heading your way. You take aim at the zombies, you fire a few shots and kill a few of them before they reach you.Unfortunately more zombies arrive, and with them some more infected. You call to the 3 men to run but they don't listen, instead they start taking pot shots at the zombies with there guns. Sadly they don't seem to be working, the zombies are almost upon you. You yell at the men, "Guys!"They don't listen, instead one turns to you and says, "Shut up and gun the fuck down you fucking monkey." "Don't speak to me like that," you raise your gun and aim at him as a little joke before returning your attention to the zombies.Sadly he takes it seriously and shoots you in the chest, this does little damage to you as you were wearing body armor under your clothing, however it's enough to knock you down and hurt. 'You're a monkey' rings in your head.

"What the fuck dude! You're attracting more zombies!" you scream at him, voice breaking slightly. The pain in your chest grows.You stand up again to try and get the men's attention, unfortunately they've been so focused on killing you that when you stand up they don't notice the large horde of zombies now surrounding you. You point at the large mass of zombies and shout to the men that you need help getting out.They see what's happening but they just stand there looking at you as if you've gone mad.  You stick your finger up at them and run, you don't care if they don't listen to you. The pain in your chest grows worse and blood stains your clothing.You turn and run as fast as you can to the door of the building, you make it out and then collapse into the grass outside.

You stop breathing for a moment and the pain grows, then you slowly start breathing again. The pain lessens but doesn't go away completely, you need medical attention fast. You take the medical kit out of your backpack and unzip it.As you try to stop the bleeding from your chest you use the kit to stop the bleeding. You remember the cause of all this, you think about the 3 men that were supposed to help but instead chased you. You think about what they did to get you into this situation. They tried to kill you. They deserve the fate that awaits them. You scream and the pain shoots through your chest again, the screams are mixed with a lot of yelling and swearing. The pain finally gets to the point where you can't scream out loud without experiencing great physical distress.

Tears start to form in your eyes as you fall to the ground. Your breathing becomes more erratic as you start to feel dizzy, the world starts to spin.It's the drugs! You become paranoid and then feel suicidal.Paranoid that you'll die and be left alone. You think about how you'll make the pain stop.You've gone too far now. You look in the bag for a knife, you find one and hold it in your hands. You think about death a lot, you're not scared of it and you think about it everyday. There's a loud crash and a few moans, it seems to be coming from your side.There's another loud crash and the light disappears, leaving you in total darkness.You think you hear something moving towards your direction, it sounds slow and clumsy but you can't see a thing. 

You whisper hoarsely "Hello?"There's silence for a moment, then you hear the shuffling of feet and something taps your shoulder. You let out a little shriek and spin around still holding the knife. Something taps your shoulder, you freeze not knowing what to do.You feel something bump into you again, something is in the building with you. You try to find a torch. You search your pockets for a moment but can't find your phone, you remember leaving it in the building so it must be in one of the pockets of your clothes. You chuck a stone at the other side of the building for a distraction. After about a minute or two you hear a muffled cry. You ask if anyone is there, and if they are and understand to identify themselves. You don't want to kill whoever it is because you're worried they're survivors and you don't want to go to war with them. You say "Hello?" You get no answer, but you do hear some shuffling and bumping sounds coming from the other side of the wall.After about a minute or two you hear a muffled cry.

You stand up and approach it. You get close and can now see a figure standing at the other side, you are surprised to see a man in a black cloak with a white mask over the eyes. "Who are you?" You ask.He doesn't answer he just points to a large house on the opposite side of the stadium. You look at it "What?" you ask slightly annoyed. He doesn't answer and just continues to point.So you start walking over there, as you do the man disappears into the shadows. Feeling skeptical, you think the man is just some crazy that got lost and has been following you. You're close enough to your friends anyway.You start walking over to your friends. You walk towards the large house with caution. The man in black is still on your mind.

You hear a loud sigh and slight growl. You turn around to see a large wolf sitting behind you.You scream and back away. Your heart thumps and the pain in your chest tightens. The wolf stands up and growls at you. You realize this isn't your friends stadium.

You close your eyes tightly and pray to be okay. The pain shoots through your chest as the wolf jumps on you and snaps your neck.
