The End Of Life Chapter 27

He took out the walkie-talkie he had and asked the other two, "So yes, I reached the room you told me about. Now, where is this switch you asked me to restart?"
"Oh! Ok, the switch should be in yellow colors with black stripes over it and the tag 'emergency only" attached over it."
"Denton, as the owner of the company, why do you seem to know all these minor things." This was in Mark's head for the longest time. Denton seemed to know all the routes and solutions in the building.
"I do monthly inspections on all the electronic equipment in the building and so I know all the problems and functions too."
"Ok, then I will restart it and inform me if it will work." and kept it aside.
Looking around, he found the switch by the side on the wall with a cover over it. Flipping the cover off, Mark slowly turned off and turned it back on. As he turned it back on, he heard Denton's voice over the walkie-talkie.
"Yeah Mark, it's working now. Come back."
Walking out of the room, Mark replied, "Alright, open the gate for the military to make its way in. I will be th--"
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful force hit him from the side, flinging him towards a parked car. Crashing his backside on the car, Mark could feel some bones crack because of the impact. The car was completely dented inside with his outline.
He slowly slid down and started coughing up blood. He kept his hand on his mouth trying to stop the blood and felt a sharp pain in multiple areas on his back because of some glass shards embedded in it.
While still holding his mouth with his hand he looked up and noticed a zombie. As his eyes lied on it, his eyes shrunk in terror. It was easily over 8 feet and weighed over 400 pounds. Its massive size figured out the reason for his crash.

As he continued to look at it, the zombie took a step forward towards him. He looked around for his machete and found it under a car on the other car lane. He felt pain from every part of his body. He slowly got up while trembling. His mind was completely numb, not able to interpret his situation properly.
As he got up as his legs continued to shiver. His thoughts were interpreted as the zombie came even closer to him. He heard Denton's voice over the walkie-talkie, which was also far from him.
"MARK, MARK WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT IS THAT SOUND? ARE YOU OK?"
He slowly walked towards the walkie-talkie noticing this zombie be very slow but his current pace was also slow due to pain. He slowly picked it up and as he did, he noticed the zombie while lifting his head, once again right behind him to kill him. With all the strength he had, he jumped to the side, ignoring the pain.
"DENTON, THERE IS A HUGE ZOMBIE IN FRONT OF ME. ITS TRYING TO KILL ME." while slowly getting up once again.
"WHAT HANG ON TILL WE COME THERE WITH THE MILITARY."
"I WILL TRY MY BEST BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE FOR LONG."
He slowly got up once again and dragged himself away from the zombie which already was on its way towards him. As he slowly made his way, he entered into a different lane and tried to pick up.his speed.
He understood the eerie feeling he was getting and the chill in the air. It was all due to this zombie on the floor. Even the lack of zombies was due to this one. He looked back and noticed the zombie still following him and tried to move quicker.
This zombie looked like it killed many people based on its ugly appearance alone. Its strength was on a different level compared to the zombies he faced until now. He slowly went behind a car and tried to hide behind it when he noticed the zombie was a bit far away.

He could feel the car he leaned on tremble due to the zombie moving. He slowly peeked towards it and found it walking towards him. The zombie was trying to find him, even by flipping some cars in its way.
Mark slowly continued forwards trying to create more time for the military to make its way here. As he dragged his body, the pain also increased a lot. He coughed up another handful amount of blood and clutched his side.
He looked back and found the zombie making its way towards him, and he continued looking at it. As he continued to move forwards looking back, he smashed into a wall and came to a halt. He looked ahead and noticed a dead end.
He turned back and noticed the zombie too clear for comfort. He was completely trapped.

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

Decompose!
Dear diary. When you read stories about some people missing and returning after years of absence claiming they were living in another world, your first reaction is to scoff and dismiss a story as a tall tale, right? I know I did. All the time. Until it happened to me and I no longer did. That day was today. Some god of thunder smote me. If it were Chris Hemsworth, I wouldn't mind but it was some barbaric Hitite god that abaondned Earth some four millennia ago. Yes, what can I say? I love the seventh art. I have more hours watching movies than any other activity, including sleep. What? Do you think I'm exaggerating? Maybe I am. I'll really miss hollywood the most. And my biggest regret is that I never got to visit the holy city of cinema. I did not come to another world to be a hero even though there was hints that they hoped I'd save it. I did not come with overpowered abilities able to, dunno, leap tall castles in a single bound, faster than a speeding crossbow bolt, be more powerful than a eight-horse carriage, the bounds. No. After the asshole god that murdered me brought me to his world, he gave me some boons from his discount bin and "The Power of my Soul (tm)". Forgive my french, I hope you understand I am rather upset at dying. And he somehow decided that my power is to recycle stuff. How awesome is that? Not much at first, I must admit. At least I got all my camping stuff and equipment with me. There's no lycra in the other world. I'll make it someday, but that day is not today. So here I am. In another world, in the middle of nowhere. I'm no heroine. As the song goes, I'm your basic average girl. And I'm assumed to be here to save the world. But almost everything can stop me, because I'm not named Kim. Wish me luck, diary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This novel is going have the following features: slow-paced slice-of-life No GameLit / LitRPG elements. Movie references. Sandra likes the seventh art. Journal / diary style crafting (includes chemistry, engineering and metallurgy) low magic technological advancement (for Sandra, at least. She is not against sharing though) personal relations clash of perception between the modern and ancient customs. bits of tension, fighting, and plot here and there. I won't repeat myself though. Once she crafts a good batch of soap, for example, she'll just note, "I crafted soap again." Once it is estabilished how she obtains compound X, compound X2 that is obtainable from the same process will also just be mentioned. I'll try to be as realistic as I can with the crafting, chemistry, and technology. Cover: Public Domain Image by StockSnap from Pixabay. No attribution required but we do it anyway.
