The End Of Life Chapter 2
Advertisement
The scene in front of him was completely horrific. The cars beneath were burning in flames and people were running everywhere. He saw some of the people looking completely weird and were trying to bite off others.
The people who were attacking did not look normal at all. They walked even though others hit them as if they did not receive any pain. They continued to walk even if they had to drag their feet around. They went after people and bit them wherever they could and people who bit laid down motionless only to wake up after some time. Their faces were deformed and black blood was oozing out of them.
He knew what they looked like; they were like the zombies from the various games Mark played. He could hear the screams of the people who were being bitten even when he was 10 floors above them.
Seeing the havoc down there, Mark only had one thought, 'The End Is Here.'
He woke up from his thoughts as he heard the elevator noise. He looked back and saw people near the elevator waiting anxiously for the doors to open. But when they did, contrary to their expectations, inside were two zombies waiting.
They lunged at the nearest person to the elevator, trying to bite him completely. Seeing this, all the others backed away in horror. Mark could finally see 2 zombies biting a people on the ground.
Mark's pupils shrunk as he saw two zombies in front of him. His body shook from the fear and excitement he was feeling. One of the zombies who was a male completely bit the person and looked at a woman near it.
The woman could only shriek and fall back on her butt. The others surrounding her instantaneously ran away, trying to save their own lives. The zombie sprung at the woman, who tried to back away further. Unable to catch her, the zombie stretched out its hand and caught her leg.

Trying to free herself from it, the woman looked around and spotted Mark. She stretched her hand and begged, "Please help me."
But before Mark could react, the other Zombie also sprung at her, biting off her neck while the other biting her leg. Mark continued to stare into the woman's eyes as she was being eaten. The woman lost her strength and her hand dropped on the floor.
Mark couldn't move from the place he stood. He could only look at the zombie's feast on the woman's dead body. After a few seconds both the zombies stopped biting the body and started to look around.
As they looked around one of the zombies caught Mark standing by the window looking at them. Mark could hear the people screaming all around him on the floor and by that time there was no one in the lobby.
The zombie slowly got up as the blood from the woman slowly dripped down from its mouth and their clothes were dyed in red and black. As the zombie slowly walked over the second one also stood up making its way towards Mark.
Mark only stood there frozen, seeing everything happening. He looked at the zombies coming at him. He couldn't move and he started to panic, seeing them gain more speed. As the first zombie came nearer, it lunged at him, trying to catch him and pin him down.
As he saw it coming nearer, he could only try to escape by keeping all his strength on one side of his body, trying to fall down. His panic only increased as it came nearer. He kept his entire strength on his side and fell down.
He hurriedly turned back and noticed the zombie going right to the window, breaking it and falling down through it. The other zombie stopped in its tracks as it couldn't find Mark and looked around. Seeing this, Mark quickly hit its legs as hard as he could, making it fall down.

Mark slowly crawled towards the edge of the floor and looked down through the broken window. He saw the 2 zombies mushed together on the ground and had an urge to throw up. He slowly stood up and made his way towards the door which led to the stairs.
As he slowly made his way, the first man who was attacked slowly moved his fingers. He slowly stood up and looked around and spotted Mark moving towards the doors by the side. He slowly growled at Mark and walked towards him.
Hearing something behind him, Mark turned around and noticed the first man turned into a zombie and growling at him. He quickened his steps and went to the door. He opened it and closed it behind him. He sensed some force from the other side and felt the Zombie trying to push its way towards him.
He looked around for something to stop this door with and found some metal rods by the side. He slowly bent and took one while still trying to stop the zombie. He grabbed the rod and tried to turn around but using this chance the zombie pushed more creating space for its leg.
Mark pushed the door harder and hit the leg, trying to force it out. As he hit the leg, he remembered they could not feel any pain. He then thought about an idea and slowly left the door. The zombie pushed the door open and tried to jump on Mark.
But before it could, Mark swung the rod at its stomach, pushing it back into the lobby. Noticing the zombie far away, Mark quickly closed the door and put the rod in the handles to block it. The zombie tried to force its way inside again, but the rod was strong enough to hold the doors shut.
Mark quickly took another rod as a weapon and looked down the stairs, deciding whether he should make his way up or down. As he slowly made his way down after deciding to go to his house he suddenly heard growls from below and looked down.
He noticed several zombies slowly trying to make their way up, growling at each other. Mark quickly turned around and slowly made his way up, trying to not make any sound which might attract the zombies below.
