“Aaaarrrghhhh!!!” The air is filled up with horrific screams with thunder striking outside the window. Light doesn’’t exist anymore in this forbidden city of death. It’s dark and gloomy city where hope doesn’t exist anymore. Humans are only safe in their “zones,” which are divided into sections based on their wealth. “It didn’t used to be like this…” James sighed and took out a cigarette from his pocket. The icy cold electronic gun called, “dominator” shines. “They’re coming, ” Lucy whispered. It is our job to protect the huge walls, the only protection left for humans from these creatures. After 4.14 Massacre in 2024, the only survivors were about 15% of the original population and they escaped to the amazon and built this forbidden city, where no one is allowed to come back in. About 40 years have passed, but this war against zombies and vampires still continue. “It’s time to clean, I guess.” Lucy and James pull up the dominators and aim at the dark shadows in the misty air. There were zombies coming towards them, with strange growls and sounds. All zombies had the guns which had nuclear beam. James whispered to Lucy: “Just stay silent. They will attack us if we make any sound.” Lucy and James stayed silent and aimed their weapons to the zombies. The zombies were aware that they aimed the weapon, that they were on their guard all the time. “Shoot,” Lucy said to herself, “this is intense..”

“NOW!” roared James. The sound of ZAP ZAP ZAP filled the air as the zombies toppled like flies. “Nice one,” Lucy said with a grin. The duo stood up and admired their work.

The invention of the Dominator just a month before was nothing short of a miracle. It had changed the entire tide of the war. Whereas before, the human fighters were equipped with simple shotguns and baseball bats that they would only momentarily stun the zombies, they now carried their own supreme weapons of destruction. Using nano-plasma technology, the electromagnetic bursts instantly stopped both zombies and vampires. The electromagnetic waves would instantly kill its victims and the bodies would fade away within a week. With a weapon like this on their side, James finally felt like there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel.

The truth is that there were too many of them. The zombies flooded through the shadows, grabbing the Dominators and baseball bats from James and Lucy. “James, to your left”, screamed Lucy from somewhere behind the shadows. “What?” Too late. A zombie picked up James, thrusted electromagnetic waves into his eyeballs and proceeded to pluck off each of James’ fingers and toes. Lucy watched, unable to move or comprehend James’ demise. She wanted to sympathize and grab him from the zombie, but the truth was that there was no time for that. Quickly, she grabbed James’ dominator, which lay a few feet away, and charged towards the enemy. Unfortunately, Lucy was slightly out of shape and didn’t have much endurance left. When she finally reached enemy territory, she was out of breath and unable to move out of the war zone. Due to this a zombie came and finished Lucy off, shoving her down his abysmal digestive tract. Ultimately, civilization crashed and the world got overrun by zombies. Could this be a sign of future events to come?
