Speaker 1 (00:03):
It was a bright, moonlit night. I went camping at
the sea, and I carried my tent into the pickup truck.
I was about to reach it when the sky turned
black and heavy rain started. I suddenly felt the urge
to relieve myself, so I checked the GPS. The destination
was near, Hence I parked the truck under a palm
tree and got down to do my business. The headlights
(00:25):
were on a sandy trail surrounded by palm and date
trees stood ahead. The sea was near. I could feel
the heavy wind blowing my hair and clothes. I was
done when I heard a woman's scream. I jumped right
into my car, and in a panic to start the engine,
(00:47):
I turned it off instead. It got dark and looked
very spooky in the moonlight, but I quickly turned on
the engine and I saw a woman standing on the
side of the road with her head slightly down, with
her brown hair covering her face. Her body was so
pale that I could see her veins popping out on
(01:08):
the skin. I rolled down my driver's side window and
called down to her, Hey, you all right. She nodded
her head and slowly started to walk towards my window.
She had scratches all over her body and was limping.
She stopped next to my window and lifted her face.
(01:29):
Her eyes were bright, kneeon yellow, which was very unusual.
Do you need help? She suddenly smiled ear to ear
and tilted her neck to one side. Her eyes were
blinking as she kept watching me in that scary manner.
Suddenly she looked behind her and ran into the bush
at full speed. Now I was already uncomfortable enough about
(01:54):
this encounter with this strange woman, so I stayed behind
the line. I've already asked her if she needed it
several times, and no way, I'm following some random, freaky
woman into the woods. I started my car and drove ahead.
The rain stopped by the time I reached the stranded beach.
I put up my tent and made some roasted chicken.
(02:17):
I was three bottles down when I heard a chuckling
sound coming from a distance. I could a red pickup
truck parked quite far away from me. Someone was also
camping on that beach. I saw it was the girl
sitting with a middle aged creepy dude. He was laughing
and holding her hand, whilst the girl sat still like
(02:39):
a stone. Suddenly she started coughing, Hey, do you want
some water? But the girl now started breathing heavily, and
then she got up and fainted. The dude grabbed her
and looked around. He couldn't see me as I was
(02:59):
sitting in the dark. Everything happens for a reason. He
carried the girl inside his small tent and then came back,
but this time he had no shit on. He chugged
the entire beer in one breath and headed back to
the tent with a big smile. Shit, I need to
(03:22):
do something. I realized the man was going to abuse
the poor girl, taking advantage of her physical condition. I
grabbed a hockey stick I always bring one of my
camping trips. I started walking towards the red pickup truck.
My hands were tightly gripping the hockey stick. Any weird
occurrence and I won't hesitate to use it. Just when
(03:44):
I reached close to the tent, I heard a squinching
sound followed by loud chewing. Not being able to see
anything in the dark, I turned on my flashlight, pointed
it inside the tent. The middle aged shirtless creek was
now lying lifeless and the girl was sitting over him
and eating his flesh. Her eyes were glowing like a hyena.
(04:07):
She ate like she hadn't eaten in years. That was
too stunned to move, but then she slowly lifted her
head and looked at me. Her blue eyeballs were now
gloomy white. She moved her head from left to right,
but she couldn't see me. It was like she lost
her vision. Her mouth was smeared in blood, so were
(04:27):
her hands and clothes. I took a step back to
leave and accidentally made a sound. Within a second, she
lunged at me, letting out an animalistic growl. I fell
back on the soft sand, and the girl grabbed my leg.
She then went to bite it, but I kicked her
(04:47):
in the face with the other leg to get rid
of her. The kick broke her nose, but yet she
kept crawling on the sand. I finally realized that somehow
this girl has turned into a zombie. I ran back
to my truck and drove off, leaving my tent behind.
I just wanted to get the hell out of that place.
I came back to the same path where I stopped
(05:09):
a pee. I looked at the side of the road
where I first saw the girl. Now two men were
sitting in crowds positions. They were eating a dead deer.
Somehow the lights didn't affect them. I honked the car
horn and they looked at me almost immediately, so they
only heard sounds. I started the car engine to drive past,
(05:30):
when suddenly a group of ravenous, insane human like creatures
appeared from the side of the road. Their face and
their body all were mutilated. Some had hands but no legs,
Some were walking like dead bodies. What's happening? They all
were coming to my car. I knew if I don't
drive away now, this swarm of zombies will turn me
(05:53):
into them. But what will happen If I left? They
will grow more and it will be the end of
the world. The only way out is to finish them
before I go. An idea came to mind. I had
three jars of petrol hoarded before the long drive. I
drove the car over each zombie before it could come
close to my car. I lost count of how many
(06:15):
times I ran over them again and again. When there
was none left, I sprinted petrol all over the meaty
mess and set it on fire. I watched all those
infectious humans turned to dust. Maybe they came with the
wish to spend a holiday at the beach, but something
changed them and turned them into brainless monsters who only
(06:36):
crave meat, who are always hungry. I've never seen that girl,
and so far, no reports of infections or contagious diseases
have been reported in the news. The year is twenty
nineteen now, and I hope twenty twenty will finally be
able to erase the horrible memory of that night from
my mind. I just hope someone from the future could
(06:57):
come and assure me that twenty twenty is going to
be a good year. Hello. My name is Maggie, and
these may be my last words alive. I'm locked in
the dark with a being that is hunting me. I
(07:17):
may not see him, but I hear his breathing and
I feel his gaze. I'm about to die and there's
nothing I can do about it. The monster is getting
closer and closer to me. I can feel it. The
only thing I can think about before I die is
how this whole nightmare started. That day, I was leaving Carol,
(07:40):
my sister's house. I had spent the day with her
and her family, but on the way out. Something strange happened.
A bunch of black vans started to park in the street,
and out of them came a bunch of bloody people.
One of them ran up to me and knocked me
to the ground. He was trying to kill me. Daryl,
Carol's husband, pulled the man off of me and started
(08:02):
struggling with him. Run go check on your family, Thank you.
I ran back to my house and everything was terrible.
The men were eating all the people around. They were
like zombies. And looked in the windows of those vans.
No one had gotten out. It was as if they
were driving automatically. I ran to my house and slipped
(08:24):
away from the zombies and entered my house through the backyard.
But something was wrong. The patio door was broken. I
ran into the kitchen and found my husband lying on
the floor wounded. There was blood everywhere, and next to
him was Rick, our neighbor dead. Maggie, what's going on?
(08:46):
Rick went crazy? I had no choice.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh Glenn, you don't know what's going on out there.
Come on, we have to get you to a hospital.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You're hurt. As I carried my husband to the garage,
I felt something go through my body. He was blood.
Glenn was dripping blood from his mouth all over my body.
I panicked for a moment and pulled away from him,
dropping him. Glenn got up immediately, but something in him
had changed. A large amount of blood started coming out
(09:18):
of his mouth. His arms began to dislocate, and with
every step he took toward me, his legs broke, making
strange inhuman movements. While this was happening, Glenn was still
not reacting. He just stared at me as he cried
blood and his eyes swelled up to the point where
they looked like they were going to pop out. Suddenly,
(09:40):
the man jumped at me. I hid in the car
and closed the windows, but I couldn't do it in time.
A part of Glenn's body managed to slip out and
stretch further and further into the car. He was getting
closer and closer to me. My own husband was going
to kill me in one swift mood. I waited for
(10:00):
Glen to finish getting in the car so I could
close the window and get out. Now he was the
one who was trapped, banging on the windows desperately like
a rabbit animal crying. I went into my house and
locked all the doors. After a few months, everything that
(10:20):
had happened became clearer. Some scientists revived a zombie frozen
for more than forty thousand years. The problem is that
instead of using it for good, some nations developed their
own zombies and used them as weapons to attack other countries.
We never knew who had used it against us, but
seeing those black vans, we knew that it was intentional.
(10:44):
During these months, most of the zombies my husband included
had starved to death, but the ones that didn't they evolved.
These zombies were smarter hunters. They knew how to open doors,
stop their prey, and hie the reliefal predators. One of
those days, Carol contacted me, asking me to go with her.
(11:07):
I had never left my house since then, only to
look for food nearby places. My sister had asked me
not to go, but apparently she had changed her mind.
I packed my things and left for the night. As expected,
several zombies started chasing me. What I didn't expect was
that they were so fast. One of them caught up
(11:29):
to me as I was jumping over Carol's fence and
fell into the garden with me. The zombie was on
top of me, ready to bite me, until suddenly its
head exploded. Carroll was behind with a rifle. After she
saved my life, my sister told me how, trying to
defend myself, Darryl had been bitten That caused him to
(11:49):
bite her son as well. Only Carol survived. We spent
the night together catching up. We both went upstairs to
show me the room I was going to sleep in.
When I went into check, I couldn't get out. Carol
had locked me in. I tried to turn on the
lights and they didn't work either. All the windows were
boarded up. From outside. The darkness was absolute. Worst of all,
(12:14):
I wasn't alone. I could feel someone breathing nearby.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm sorry, Maggie. I couldn't let him starve to death.
I couldn't find anyone else to sacrifice. More than a
week ago, Carol, who is with me? It's my son.
I couldn't let him die, zombie or not. I love him.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Terrified, I backed into a corner and this is where
I am now. My own nephew is in the dark,
waiting for the ideal moment to jump at me and
kill me. I can feel him walking around the room,
watching my every move. I have a knife in my hand,
but I doub't I can use it to save myself.
I couldn't see it all and be locked up for
(12:58):
so long. Sure he had already adapted to the darkness.
Suddenly I felt someone run towards me in desperation, and
without seeing I brandished my knife violently. Trusted at something
I had succeeded by a miracle, I stuck a knife
in the boy's throat. Wow. Carol must have had cameras,
(13:21):
because as soon as it happened, she came running in
my direction. She opened the door and furious rushed at
me with a huge knife. We were both fighting, trying
to kill each other. But suddenly Carol stopped and smiled.
As I looked at her, I realized what was going on.
Her zombie son was still alive, eating his own mother's ankle.
(13:45):
As I walked away, I could see the child climb
over the mother's body that had fallen to the floor
and began to devour her organs while she looked at
me with a creepy smile and her eyes wide open.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Is it he beautiful?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I walked painfully towards the exit of the house. My
arm was burning very badly, and as I looked at it,
I could see a child's bite on it. It seems
that the child got to bite me before I stuck
the knife in it. When I got outside, I saw
the sun rising while some lights were coming towards us.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So they finally decided to bomb us.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Hi. My name is Mike, and I was returning to
my hometown after many years and was very excited to
see the places where I had spent my childhood days.
I reached the entrance of the town, got out of
my car and was about to take some pictures when
suddenly an ugly looking dog attacked me. I got so
scared that I ran back to my car, locked the doors,
(14:53):
and drove away into town. I was still shivering with
fear when I entered the town, to which was eerily empty.
At the corner of the street, I saw a pub
and went there and found a couple of guys sitting
and having a conversation. I sat at the counter and
ordered a beer. I asked the barman, Hey, how come
(15:14):
the town is so quiet. The barman did not say anything,
and just then a beautiful woman came and sat next
to me. I was happy to see someone that I
offered to buy her a beer. I told her that
this was my hometown and was looking forward to having
a tour of it. But something was bothering her. She
kept looking at the watch and suddenly got up and said,
(15:37):
I've got to go.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Sorry, please get out of here.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I was surprised to hear this. What was going on here?
It was too late and I was very tired to leave,
so I decided to stay back, which turned out to
be the worst decision of my life. I asked the
barman for a hotel, and he gave me a few suggestions.
I went to one of them and asked the manager
for a room. I came to my room showered and
(16:04):
was about to hit the bed when there was a
knock in the door. I opened it and was shocked.
It was one of the guys I had seen in
the bar. He looked like a dead body walking straight
out of a zombie movie. He jumped on me and
started to beat me up. I was struggling to defend myself,
but he held my neck and started to strangle me.
(16:26):
I was getting breathless and thought I was going to
die when suddenly he stopped. I turned to look and
was even more shocked when his head fell off his
body and rolled on the ground. His body then slumped
to the ground, and behind him I saw the same
girl I had seen in the bar. She had a
machete in her hand, which was soaked in blood. She
(16:48):
quickly walked towards me and said.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Hi, I'm Sarah. Come with me if you want to live.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I was still in shock when she grabbed me and
jolted my body. I came back to read reality while
she was saying, hurry, we don't have time.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I tried to grab my suitcase when Sarah told me
to leave everything since there's no time. She just grabbed
my hand and took me out, and we were rushing
towards the entrance when suddenly some guys who had turned
into zombies stood at the front gate.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Know how to slash bodies.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I shook my head saying no, but it was too late.
The zombies guarding the door leaped on us. Sarah took
out a rifle from her back and started shooting. Now.
I panicked and was randomly slashing in the air trying
to stop them from attacking me. Sarah shot most of
them down and we rushed out of the place. Sarah
(17:43):
had a mini truck, I sat inside and we drove away.
I had so many questions running in my mind, and
Sarah knew it, and even before I could ask.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Her, she said there was some kind of virus infestation
some days back that has turned everyone into zombies.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Everything was fine when I arrived here just a few
hours back. Sarah told me that the infection is spreading
really fast and is taking over the whole town. She
also told me that I was safe with her and
was taking me to a safe place where we heard
a loud thud on the roof of the car. Someone
had jumped on the car. Sarah lost control of the car.
(18:21):
The car hit the curb, leaped into the air, turned
and landed on the roof. The impact was so severe
that it made me had a blackout, and a little
while later, when I woke up, I was shocked to
see that Sarah was missing, and I somehow got out
of the car to see that Sarah was surrounded by
some zombies. Since she was fighting them off, I saw
(18:44):
the machete on the ground, picked it up and slashed
the zombies that were attacking us. We somehow managed to
slash all of them and ran from there. We came
to Sarah's house and I suddenly remembered that I had
forgotten to take my phone from the hotel. I immediately
rushed to the phone, but it was dead. Sarah told
me that the network has been down for the last
(19:06):
couple of days, and hence they have not been able
to contact the authorities. I asked her how she managed
to protect herself from the infection, and that is when
she told me something that stunned me.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'm infected too, I've twenty four hours before I become
one of them, But.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Why did you bring me here to kill me? Next,
Sarah then told me about her eight year old son Andy.
She told me that he is safe and has no infections.
She got me there so that she can hand him
over to me and ask me to get him out
of the city. She begged me to help her, and
when I saw Andy's innocent face, I knew Sarah was
(19:45):
telling the truth, so I decided to help. We took
Andy and hit the road, and just when we were
reaching the town exit, there was a huge traffic gym
of people leaving the town. I was trying to figure
out how to get out when I saw that se
Sara had turned into a zombie and attacked me and Andy.
I took Andy, got out of the car and ran
(20:06):
that Sarah caught us and I had no option but
to shoot her down and get myself and Andy out
of there. I shot her and ran towards the exit,
and just then I saw some fighter jets drop bombs
on the town. The explosion destroyed the entire town, saving us.
I was so thankful to Sarah who saved me from
(20:27):
this hell which I'll never return to.
It was a bright, moonlit night. I went camping at
the sea, and I carried my tent into the pickup truck.
I was about to reach it when the sky turned
black and heavy rain started. I suddenly felt the urge
to relieve myself, so I checked the GPS. The destination

to the ground. He was trying to kill me. Daryl,
Carol's husband, pulled the man off of me and started
(08:02):
struggling with him. Run go check on your family, Thank you.
I ran back to my house and everything was terrible.
The men were eating all the people around. They were
like zombies. And looked in the windows of those vans.
No one had gotten out. It was as if they
were driving automatically. I ran to my house and slipped
(08:24):
away from the zombies and entered my house through the backyard.
But something was wrong. The patio door was broken. I
ran into the kitchen and found my husband lying on
the floor wounded. There was blood everywhere, and next to
him was Rick, our neighbor dead. Maggie, what's going on?
(08:46):
Rick went crazy? I had no choice.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh Glenn, you don't know what's going on out there.
Come on, we have to get you to a hospital.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You're hurt. As I carried my husband to the garage,
I felt something go through my body. He was blood.
Glenn was dripping blood from his mouth all over my body.
I panicked for a moment and pulled away from him,
dropping him. Glenn got up immediately, but something in him
had changed. A large amount of blood started coming out
(09:18):
of his mouth. His arms began to dislocate, and with
every step he took toward me, his legs broke, making
strange inhuman movements. While this was happening, Glenn was still
not reacting. He just stared at me as he cried
blood and his eyes swelled up to the point where
they looked like they were going to pop out. Suddenly,
(09:40):
the man jumped at me. I hid in the car
and closed the windows, but I couldn't do it in time.
A part of Glenn's body managed to slip out and
stretch further and further into the car. He was getting
closer and closer to me. My own husband was going
to kill me in one swift mood. I waited for
(10:00):
Glen to finish getting in the car so I could
close the window and get out. Now he was the
one who was trapped, banging on the windows desperately like
a rabbit animal crying. I went into my house and
locked all the doors. After a few months, everything that
(10:20):
had happened became clearer. Some scientists revived a zombie frozen
for more than forty thousand years. The problem is that
instead of using it for good, some nations developed their
own zombies and used them as weapons to attack other countries.
We never knew who had used it against us, but
seeing those black vans, we knew that it was intentional.
(10:44):
During these months, most of the zombies my husband included
had starved to death, but the ones that didn't they evolved.
These zombies were smarter hunters. They knew how to open doors,
stop their prey, and hie the reliefal predators. One of
those days, Carol contacted me, asking me to go with her.
(11:07):
I had never left my house since then, only to
look for food nearby places. My sister had asked me
not to go, but apparently she had changed her mind.
I packed my things and left for the night. As expected,
several zombies started chasing me. What I didn't expect was
that they were so fast. One of them caught up
(11:29):
to me as I was jumping over Carol's fence and
fell into the garden with me. The zombie was on
top of me, ready to bite me, until suddenly its
head exploded. Carroll was behind with a rifle. After she
saved my life, my sister told me how, trying to
defend myself, Darryl had been bitten That caused him to
(11:49):
bite her son as well. Only Carol survived. We spent
the night together catching up. We both went upstairs to
show me the room I was going to sleep in.
When I went into check, I couldn't get out. Carol
had locked me in. I tried to turn on the
lights and they didn't work either. All the windows were
boarded up. From outside. The darkness was absolute. Worst of all,
(12:14):
I wasn't alone. I could feel someone breathing nearby.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm sorry, Maggie. I couldn't let him starve to death.
I couldn't find anyone else to sacrifice. More than a
week ago, Carol, who is with me? It's my son.
I couldn't let him die, zombie or not. I love him.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Terrified, I backed into a corner and this is where
I am now. My own nephew is in the dark,
waiting for the ideal moment to jump at me and
kill me. I can feel him walking around the room,
watching my every move. I have a knife in my hand,
but I doub't I can use it to save myself.
I couldn't see it all and be locked up for
(12:58):
so long. Sure he had already adapted to the darkness.
Suddenly I felt someone run towards me in desperation, and
without seeing I brandished my knife violently. Trusted at something
I had succeeded by a miracle, I stuck a knife
in the boy's throat. Wow. Carol must have had cameras,
(13:21):
because as soon as it happened, she came running in
my direction. She opened the door and furious rushed at
me with a huge knife. We were both fighting, trying
to kill each other. But suddenly Carol stopped and smiled.
As I looked at her, I realized what was going on.
Her zombie son was still alive, eating his own mother's ankle.
(13:45):
As I walked away, I could see the child climb
over the mother's body that had fallen to the floor
and began to devour her organs while she looked at
me with a creepy smile and her eyes wide open.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Is it he beautiful?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I walked painfully towards the exit of the house. My
arm was burning very badly, and as I looked at it,
I could see a child's bite on it. It seems
that the child got to bite me before I stuck
the knife in it. When I got outside, I saw
the sun rising while some lights were coming towards us.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So they finally decided to bomb us.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Hi. My name is Mike, and I was returning to
my hometown after many years and was very excited to
see the places where I had spent my childhood days.
I reached the entrance of the town, got out of
my car and was about to take some pictures when
suddenly an ugly looking dog attacked me. I got so
scared that I ran back to my car, locked the doors,
(14:53):
and drove away into town. I was still shivering with
fear when I entered the town, to which was eerily empty.
At the corner of the street, I saw a pub
and went there and found a couple of guys sitting
and having a conversation. I sat at the counter and
ordered a beer. I asked the barman, Hey, how come
(15:14):
the town is so quiet. The barman did not say anything,
and just then a beautiful woman came and sat next
to me. I was happy to see someone that I
offered to buy her a beer. I told her that
this was my hometown and was looking forward to having
a tour of it. But something was bothering her. She
kept looking at the watch and suddenly got up and said,
(15:37):
I've got to go.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Sorry, please get out of here.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I was surprised to hear this. What was going on here?
It was too late and I was very tired to leave,
so I decided to stay back, which turned out to
be the worst decision of my life. I asked the
barman for a hotel, and he gave me a few suggestions.
I went to one of them and asked the manager
for a room. I came to my room showered and
(16:04):
was about to hit the bed when there was a
knock in the door. I opened it and was shocked.
It was one of the guys I had seen in
the bar. He looked like a dead body walking straight
out of a zombie movie. He jumped on me and
started to beat me up. I was struggling to defend myself,
but he held my neck and started to strangle me.
(16:26):
I was getting breathless and thought I was going to
die when suddenly he stopped. I turned to look and
was even more shocked when his head fell off his
body and rolled on the ground. His body then slumped
to the ground, and behind him I saw the same
girl I had seen in the bar. She had a
machete in her hand, which was soaked in blood. She
(16:48):
quickly walked towards me and said.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Hi, I'm Sarah. Come with me if you want to live.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I was still in shock when she grabbed me and
jolted my body. I came back to read reality while
she was saying, hurry, we don't have time.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I tried to grab my suitcase when Sarah told me
to leave everything since there's no time. She just grabbed
my hand and took me out, and we were rushing
towards the entrance when suddenly some guys who had turned
into zombies stood at the front gate.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Know how to slash bodies.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I shook my head saying no, but it was too late.
The zombies guarding the door leaped on us. Sarah took
out a rifle from her back and started shooting. Now.
I panicked and was randomly slashing in the air trying
to stop them from attacking me. Sarah shot most of
them down and we rushed out of the place. Sarah
(17:43):
had a mini truck, I sat inside and we drove away.
I had so many questions running in my mind, and
Sarah knew it, and even before I could ask.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Her, she said there was some kind of virus infestation
some days back that has turned everyone into zombies.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Everything was fine when I arrived here just a few
hours back. Sarah told me that the infection is spreading
really fast and is taking over the whole town. She
also told me that I was safe with her and
was taking me to a safe place where we heard
a loud thud on the roof of the car. Someone
had jumped on the car. Sarah lost control of the car.
(18:21):
The car hit the curb, leaped into the air, turned
and landed on the roof. The impact was so severe
that it made me had a blackout, and a little
while later, when I woke up, I was shocked to
see that Sarah was missing, and I somehow got out
of the car to see that Sarah was surrounded by
some zombies. Since she was fighting them off, I saw
(18:44):
the machete on the ground, picked it up and slashed
the zombies that were attacking us. We somehow managed to
slash all of them and ran from there. We came
to Sarah's house and I suddenly remembered that I had
forgotten to take my phone from the hotel. I immediately
rushed to the phone, but it was dead. Sarah told
me that the network has been down for the last
(19:06):
couple of days, and hence they have not been able
to contact the authorities. I asked her how she managed
to protect herself from the infection, and that is when
she told me something that stunned me.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'm infected too, I've twenty four hours before I become
one of them, But.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Why did you bring me here to kill me? Next,
Sarah then told me about her eight year old son Andy.
She told me that he is safe and has no infections.
She got me there so that she can hand him
over to me and ask me to get him out
of the city. She begged me to help her, and
when I saw Andy's innocent face, I knew Sarah was
(19:45):
telling the truth, so I decided to help. We took
Andy and hit the road, and just when we were
reaching the town exit, there was a huge traffic gym
of people leaving the town. I was trying to figure
out how to get out when I saw that se
Sara had turned into a zombie and attacked me and Andy.
I took Andy, got out of the car and ran
(20:06):
that Sarah caught us and I had no option but
to shoot her down and get myself and Andy out
of there. I shot her and ran towards the exit,
and just then I saw some fighter jets drop bombs
on the town. The explosion destroyed the entire town, saving us.
I was so thankful to Sarah who saved me from
(20:27):
this hell which I'll never return to.
