2.THE FANTASY BEGINNING.

1200 Words
I am a huge fan of zombie fantasy,I was introduced Into the zombie fantasy when I read zombie novels,I was like there I no way it could happen and I believed it to be the most perfect fantasy genre. Mary and I have what we call complicated relationship ,We live lives that we don't really want to live,she also believes in fantasies and wants to become a detective hoping to find a new adventure but every day seems so long for her.she wants an adventure but it doesn't seem to be happening,after some while she lost track of her adventurous dream and continued her work. I was home on a wheelchair and with crutches too,it was to help me to heal my leg which the doctor has scheduled for healing in the next 2 months,Home is boring but I can't stop thinking about what happened that night,how did the enemy pull off such a real illusion and it seems like they didn't want my money or anything ,they just want to kill me and infact it was so surprising that Mary was not even there and she was Hale and hearty,I kept thinking maybe I should have followed my mother's instruction not to look for my dad. My mom has always warned me from a young age that I should not try to look for my dad that it can be dangerous and I wouldn't like it at all,She would always tell me that "Looking for your father is like a farewell adventure" that might never happen,I would always smile at those words as if it's a joke,now I am starting to reflect back at those words,I don't think it is a joke and this time I will have to tune in for danger and this time not the easy type. After some few weeks,Mary had to travel,she said it was so urgent and she had to employ a nurse to take care of me,she was a old nurse and she is actually to old to carry me to the toilet,I just had to use my crutches all the time,at least she cooks for me and that sounds fine. After some time,Mary called to know if i am okay,and I responded well,then she started crying,she told me she has the adventure she has finally been waiting for but this adventure is far more dangerous than what she had hoped for and she might not make it this time,i was dumbfounded,I was like what is happening to her,she said all is well,on the phone i could hear some security operatives shouting "I has reanimated",suddenly she laughed and said goodbye to me.i was trying to call her eversince but she will pick the call and she will not speak and I thought maybe she needed some space,so I gave her time.I didn't know something crazier than adventures was about to begin,So I hoped that one day we could settle things and I will finally clear off my head over reanimation. So it was a brand new morning,when I read it on the news that there have been massive riots in the cities and this riots are so crazy that they have been attacking people and the people are wearing blood stains,I thought it was a joke until a footage leaked on the social media about. Which showed A man in which three people were feasting on his neighbour as if it was a pack of pizza,It was so horrific,then I remembered that maybe what Mary was telling me about is about to get real. I tried to look for more meaning of reanimate and it still can back linking to the same words "zombie",I was like I have always been a fan of zombies but in this case I don't want to ,this is a bad time for something like this to happen. I continued to watch the news of various sightings of zombie attacks and how the government has initiated martial law,I started to call Mary and the call wasn't going again,I felt maybe something terrible has happened to her,what if there was an outbreak in the CDC office,I kept thinking maybe she is a zombie but I shoke off the thought,knowing that she is brave and she is always ready for anything. The next day I could see people packing their luggages and trying to go somewhere,I switched on my television only to see videos been shared on the news about mass zombie hordes,I was like this is becoming too big to contain and suddenly I heard screams outside as people bbegan to scramble for safe places as the light went off in the city,I was like seriously why is it that in every zombie movie light must always go off and it is happening in reality too,I went to my window and I saw people driving out and some people strengthen their windows and doors with wood,that was when I began to realise the stuff is already in my area,there were numerous motor crashes and I could see people bumping into each other, people hijacking cars,Gunshots everywhere as I saw the street littered with bodies,I was dumbfounded at what I saw,i never imagined my street could look like that but you can expect more very soon,then the light turned back on but no sounds were playing on the tv,infact the light was dim as there was an info playing on the tv that everyone should remain silent and should follow the info as it is being played,then the government highlighted measures of safety that were not much applicable to me because I lived in an 8 story building and it does not look like any zombie was going to be coming near me,the government listed some safe zones and some places to test for infections and they showed pictures of fenced places and industries and temporarily fenced places to serve as shelter for people checking into safe zones ,then I received a phone call from Mary,I managed to cut the call and chat her up instead,the first question I asked was if she was safe in which she responded with a smile and she told me the infection is spreading so fast and she might not be able to communicate later as the industry is shutting off the telecommunication unit soon as people spread false news and only the tv will serve as a means of communication,then she abruptly stopped chatting,then her chat became offline,so I wanted to cook some food but,I had trouble helping myself,I couldn't find the nurse to help me as she is also caught in the middle of the outbreak and the street is so silent and noone seems to be walking about but I think I saw some army truck driving through our streets and they were really much to show the extent of the infection,I had to place some stuffs beside my bed incase of attack from the zombies,I was like my fantasy is now a new adventure,I don't even know what to think ,I was so confused but I was Just hoping that there would be a cure or vaccine very soon but I was planning on getting to the safe zone.
