Flu Season

What awoke in the late morning the next day was no longer the Roger Benton and the Madison Dane the world had once known. The bodies were the same, but their minds no longer functioned with clarity. All thoughts were dead of feelings and only seemed driven by the most basic of instincts. They rose stiffly and moved without defined purpose. They moved mechanically towards the patio door. They walked into it three times before it broke with a loud shattering sound.

Once outside, they stumbled forward. Nothing was clear to their dull minds. They could not comprehend the images they saw. The shouts and sounds of sirens did not register in their minds. The world just was. The world was chaos. The world was panic and confusion. The truth could not be comprehended by their dying brains.

A man appeared before them. He stopped and raised something to his shoulder. A flame like a flower appeared before Roger. He felt a sensation like someone poking him in his forehead with their finger. In the fraction of a second between life and death, Roger Benton understood the truth. Zombies…yes, zombies. The apocalypse had begun.
