Chapter 1 The Breaking point
“Cough cough”.The sound of a man hacking as his lungs fill with thick black smoke surrounds the air. An unconscious man lays buckled in a seat of a chopper quietly goes into the world of his dreams.
“Stand private.” said Alex’s commanding officer
A man in his early 20s stands in a full marine uniform.
“Son, you have a mission the airbase in Chuernois in a small russian province has gone quiet you and a team of four will be sent out to investigate, get suited.” said the officer
A man slowly comes to the sun burning his eyes like a hot needle ripping through skin.
“What... what happened.” said Alex.
He quickly looks around with what vision he has left his eyes slowly adjust with the sun. The chopper is on fire black smoke rising far in the air for miles it looks like the chopper was ripped in half. Once he is able to see the full area he is in a small field with trees surrounding it on all sides. He quickly reaches for his belt and unsnaps the clamp of the buckle. He falls to the floor of the chopper with a metallic thud, Alex quickly grabs his leg in pain.
“Damit!, my leg i cant feel my toes.” said Alex
Alex slowly crawls to the cockpit of the chopper and looks at the pilot, his face goese pale from the sight. The pilot as a large metal rotor wing stuck in his chest, blood dried on his uniform and face. Alex leans over and pulls the M9 out of the pilots holster.
“I’m sorry mate, at least you died fast.” said Alex
Alex continues to look around and finds an epi-pen laying in the chopper in a medical bag.
“Crunch.” a sound by the chopper. Alex quickly looks toward the direction covered by metal wall of debris between him and the outside. Scraping and the sound of a man choking on his own tongue soon flows in the air, and then more sounds coming from all around the chopper. It doesn't stop it never stops, the sounds haunting Alex making him go mad he soon puts the gun to his head and his life goese through his mind, his finger getting tighter on the trigger. He sweats through every pore thinking he will die of dehydration before he can take his own shoot.
“I can’t, I can’t do this i have to live i have to get out I can’t not here not now.” said Alex
Alex slowly stands to see outside he looks around and see the sun no longer, its dark like the pits of hell. He then see a man walking strangely toward him his arm no longer on his body and limping toward the chopper.
“Sir... are you ok i can help you.” said Alex
The man doesn't answer and continues to walk toward Alex.
“Sir... can i help you.” said alex.
“Raggagh.” said the man in a high hiss.
The man starts to run toward Alex, screaming and hissing like a snake. He soon stagers close enough that Alex can see him, see what is left of a half decayed face with no expression but of hunger. The man trys to grab Alex and swings its arm around to get close enough to bite him. Alex lifts his 9M for the shoot.
“I will shoot.” said alex in a panicked voice.
He aimed for the man’s head, and tightened on the trigger of the gun and closed his eyes as he pulled afraid of what he just did.
“Bang.” a loud shoot from the gun ringing out from the gun. Alex slowly opened his eyes and looked at the decayed body with a small hole in its head. Soon after more men and decayed bodies started to walk toward him through the fog. Alex quickly gets out of the chopper debris and runs to what looks like a set of trees, as he gets to the edge he see’s the bodies run toward him, blood dripping from them.
“I have to get the hell out of here.” said alex
He starts to run deeper into the forest with the monster quickly gaining on his heels, soon the sounds get less and less as he looks behind him and see’s only one left. What he see’s shakes him to his core as a cold wind down your back.
“Jason... it is you damnit i hoped i hoped you made it but, i can’t believe... Iran didn’t kill you but this did.” said Alex in sorrowful voice.
He slowly pointed the gun to his old friends head, and slowly tried to pull the trigger.
“I can’t do it i can’t just put him down like a dog.”said Alex
Alex then aimed for his leg and shoot, the bullet passing through it’s knee breaking it so it could no longer walk but crawl.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t take the shoot, I’m sorry i couldn’t end your misery I hope you understand.” said Alex.
Alex ran, he ran longer than ever so far he lost track of the miles so far to the point he was going to die, trying to desperately run from what happened run from the hell he went through. Soon the high from the Epi-pen wore off and he found his leg swollen to the point he couldn’t move it no longer. He just collapsed under the pain to where he felt nothing in his body no blood no feeling just death closing in around him. Tears started to roll from the corner of his eyes, he just let them sit there staining his lips and mouth with their salty taste.
“KILL ME!...do it i have nothing i should be dead why am I alive why do I survive kill me kill me.” said Alex
He said as he drifted to sleep an eternal slumber with nothing but him and his dreams.
