I woke up from a good nights rest and found Abigail gone! I waited for half a day and she never came back. I decided that she was scared that I would do something to her as she had already told a lot of information about the start and that she was partly responsible…

I left and really to be truthful, I could feel her around, but I did not push it! I had no desire to bother her and really I had enough! What ever else she would say would not matter at this point…

I ave a trick that I can do! I can energize water and pour it on a seed and that seed will instantly grow into a mature plant. It is something kinda like a reversal of energy, as I can take souls I can funnel that energy back to something living. A plant is easy to do it to…

This time  took an old red T-rose plant and revived it. I left it at her place, in full bloom and beautiful. I hope she went back to enjoy it…

Walk the Big City again and next I came upon dog. He was skittish and afraid, but finally he came to sit with me and he told me his story…

Yes, I can speak to animals if I so desire. I am the Grim Reaper you know…

Stryker

Hi my name is Abigail,

Have you noticed that almost 99.9% of all survivors are white and green eyes? hardly a single black, Asian, Indian or any other race. Just white people and green eyes…

I met the man who coded this Zombie Virus! His name was Zighile Comstock and he was a very strange man indeed…

I worked for a corporation called Manright Inc. At first the name does not strike you as a problem, but think about the name? Manright…

Man right is what it was all about. The altering of mankind to make man correct. I heard rumors about this Zighile and he was said to be thousands and thousands of years old. I don’t now about that, but I can tell you that to me he looked to be about 60 years old…

I was an upper level scientist in the genetics department and I was in charge of the green eyed, exclusion gene to ignore all people with green eyes…

As you see it worked and now the earth is 99.9% green eyed, which means mostly that before the Zombie Virus around 2% of the total population of the earth was green eyed and ten with death by eating and such. I figured at the best .5% of one percent have survived on this planet to carry on repopulating the earth, if the Zombies ever all die…

You see it was planned that way by Zighile and I was so stupid I helped him. I lived with it by the fact that I received huge paychecks to look the other way. In my head I made myself believe that it was just an experiment and it would never come true. Money made it all okay…

So I created the green eyed ignoring virus that I convinced myself would cure the world of all bad things and helped Zighile unleash death upon the world…

But I did something that he did not know I did! I spliced a genetic flaw into the gene pool!  gave it what I call “The Turkey Gene!” You know, after the stupid thing we have to say, Turkeys will drown in a rain storm by looking up with their beaks open. While it is not true, I did make it true for Zombies to do just that! When it rains, Zombies outside will stop and look at the skies with their mouths open, until it stops raining…

Kinda cool huh?

To bad that a Zombie does not need to breath and then they would all drown to death. But that never crossed my mind, just a flaw in the genetic structure and easy to do flaw is what I wanted. A simple slice of genetic material that can not be seen except by the strongest microscopes was all it was. A little extra sliver at the end of number 3 codon – Glutamate and rain becomes a help to the humans that are left…

That is what has allowed me to be able to collect food and such as it rains. Just watch the indoors though, they do no care if it rains. It seems to be only in response to the rain falling on your face…

Well I was in the lab when it all started! I saw Zighile was messing with the sub-floor gates of the building that we worked out of. This was an area that we never went and I soon found out that Zombies by the hundreds where in the basement of this building. He let them all loose and said La Dee DA and went to the roof and left in a helicopter! I just stood there staring at the screens on the monitors as I watched hundreds of Zombies fan out across the city and turning humans into Zombies as they went. I found out later that they were Source Code Zombies that could even raise the dead in the graveyards…

They were so contagious that even a touch of the original Source Code Zombie was enough to change a human, unless you had green eyes. I was watching the screens of monitors in front of me and realized that the monitors were from all over the world and that Source Code Zombies had been released all over the world. Something like a million very very highly contagious…

The effect was like a match tossed into a building that had a natural gas leak in it. Instant explosion…

After the last Zombie had left, I hit the button to close the gates on the building. I gave the general alarm that all would be shut down do to safety protocol and those that wanted to get out get out now. The idiots all ran! The whole building emptied and I was left alone in the building…

They all went to their deaths and I never saw them again. Even though they were green eyed, that did not mean they had any brains and are smart. Instinct told them to get to family. I guess that my not having any family saved me this time. I had a cat and was later able to get my cat and this is her sitting in my lap. I call her SilverTail as per her tail you see…

Zighile spared no expense on making the building riot proof and no Zombie even tries to get in. I come and go as I want when it rains, which it does quiet often here. I have 28 stories of building above ground and 6 stories below ground that I can play in. I have found things that I did not know was happening in the lower levels and if I had I would have tried to blow the whistle on this whole situation. Still left in cages below are Zombie experiments that are still living and will never die, unless we kill them…

I just can not bring myself to kill them, I know that they are all humans under that virus…

I will tell you more story tomorrow. I have said enough for today…

Abigail

I knew that Stan was wrong and after attempting to tell him that, I realized that his story was the only thing keeping him alive. He believed that they caused all this, it is his way of dealing with it, but that is okay and he will meet his demise soon as he is living on borrowed time…

Stan was borderline psychotic and was one of many, who I come across, that all believe they started this whole thing. It is no different than when a crime is committed and certain people call the police department and confess to that crime. Usually these people call every time a crime is committed and the police know who they are. It is true and I included his story because, I thought you needed to know all the facts of what I find out in the world now. Besides he was looking so stupid with his legs sticking out of a trash can. I felt sorry for him…

So as I walked the big city, I kept looking for someone who had real knowledge about what happened. I figured that in a big city, like this someone would still be alive who knew…

Next I found some information out…

We meet Abigail…

Stryker

I am glad to tell the story as I know it! You see this ground zero for this latest outbreak of the Zombie virus. As I am sure Stryker has made mention of this last outbreak was from the works of men who could no leave enough alone in this world. It seems that there always is someone who wants to change the world and usually that means for the worst. 90% of the world wants to live happily forever after and 10% or less are too stupid and mean to let the world live in peace. The best thing that could happen on earth is to isolate the stupid gene and eradicate it…

A man with stupid intentions of curing all diseases shot a rocket into the sky very high up and released an experimental virus that showed promise in curing all  diseases in humans. It spread in the jet stream high above the skies and multiplied as it was suppose to in the clouds of the earth. Then it came to earth in fog, rain and any form of moisture. It has only one strange or really two strange flaws. One the Zombies created stare at the sky when it rains and two green eyed people are immune to the virus in its original form. If bitten afterwards then many less green eyed people are immune. Some green eyed people are totally immune…

Well I was part of that experiment to seed the skies with a virus to save the world. I was not sure what he was doing, except I am an expert on rockets and such and I built the over sized toy rocket to deliver the virus to the skies…

I was paid well and paid to shut my mouth. So one day when I finished the rocket, from the top of a 50 story building. We shot the rocket into the sky and released as was planned this virus. One week later earth became a walking Zombie farm…

Instead of saving the earth we killed it…

The man was brown eyed and he changed like the rest. Since I am green eyed, I have been having fun running from Zombies who desire to eat me. I can’t bring myself to kill them, as I helped create all this mess…

So I just run and run and run! I actually thought that I got my just desserts, when I got stuck in the trash can. Then you saved me…

Stan

I was walking the big city and was being left alone, as everyone seemed to know that was the best with something or someone like me. I came upon a blond headed, green eyed man named Stan. He was trying to get something out of a barrel and he had gotten stuck, upside down in the barrel…

I found him with wiggling legs sticking up into the air and if it had been another era, it would have been funny, but at this point in time it was deadly for him. lucky it was me that found him…

I pulled him out of the can and him and I went to his hideout to talk and eat a bite of dinner…

He lived in a cave or tunnel that had a huge grate that he pulled over the entrance and locked from the inside. It was strong enough t keep out the Zombies and small enough that a Zombie crawling to get to it would never have enough strength to open it, even if it was very very strong…

He had a good set up and lots of bottled water and food. He also had tons of candles for a light source and it was rather quaint…

I will tell you his story next…

Stryker

Silvia was a cop in the old world. That is not what allowed her to survive though, it was green eyes and  pure luck. Plus a lot of gumption…

Here is her story…

Hey I am Silvia, I have recently been bitten and this nice guy named Stryker is listening to my last story in this life as I know it. So lets get going because I really do not want to turn into a Zombie and I would like Stryker to finish me off before that happens…

I was on the night beat when all hell broke loose in the world. It seemed that the breeze that was blowing carried the virus and people changed right in front of my eyes. I was talking to a blue eyed crack head and she was begging me to give her some leeway and not take her downtown to the station. This strange wind blew around us and I looked up, when I looked down, those blue eyes had become dogged over like cataracts…

She no longer wanted to talk she wanted to eat me…

I backed up and pulled my service weapon and backed right into a street lamp pole. She came straight at me and I shot her through the chest. She did not even flinch at the impact. I shot her again and she looked like she smiled, then I shot her between the eyes. She dropped instantly…

The first thing that came to mind was oh I am going to be in hell now. I shot someone and not just once but three times. I looked around and realized that I was surrounded by 4 guys…

I said hey I am a cop and give me some room. Then I saw their eyes and these eyes were just like hers, cataract like…

They reached for me and I dropped and started to fire again. I went two shots and nothing to dropping them like flies. Shoot the head stupid, I said too myself…

I reloaded before I stood back up and glanced around. The street was empty and quiet. So quiet that I could hear the click of the relay of the stop light on the corner as it flashed in rhythm to my breathing, very fast…

I pushed my radio button that is always attached to my right shoulder and called base. Nothing happened for a few minutes and then Harriot the dispatcher screamed into her microphone, “Silvia run! Silvia run and hide. Zombies Urgggggggggghhhhh………..”

Zombies? What the Hell? Zombies are Hollywood and make believe…

Then the Zombie that hunted me for months now tried to grab me. It was a bodybuilder from the gym on the corner and he hated me in real life. He always threatened to snuff me if he had a chance. He hated all beat cops, but in my case he hated me even more. I had refused to go out with him on a date… 🙂

He knocked me flat and my gun came out of my hands and he bent over to rip my head off. I had grabbed my handcuffs and as he tried to grab my throat. I handcuffed his hands together. He looked at me and stood up to study the handcuffs and I started scramble like a crab running backwards…

Then as I realized I had to run and run fast! He simply tore the handcuffs in half like they were made of paper. Then he started after me again. I made my feet and ran, he was a Zombie so he could not run well and I ran. I found a pawn shop that the door was open and stepped gingerly inside…

I saw no one and pulled the gate shut across the door and pulled the inside gates shut as a secondary protection and made sure everything was locked. I knew this gun shop as it is part of my beat and I even had keys to it as extra precautions. Never too safe with guns…

Then something slammed the front gates and I realized that my friend had found me…

Thank god that the place was made for something stronger than a human and he did not make it into the store. I never found anyone in the store and I never knew what happened to the owner. Maybe he left it open on purpose as if I remembered he had green eyes…

I huddled in the corner with a riot shotgun all the rest of the night and I have killed Zombies and killed Zombies and hunted for the damn Zombie that has been hunting me for months now. Guess what? He is standing right behind you and that is my story…

I had felt him as she said that he was there. I looked at her and could see his reflection in her eyes. He almost sneaked up on me as I was listening carefully to her story…

I turned just as he attacked me and I grabbed him by the throat. I picked him up off the ground and slammed him next to her and in the process intentionally shattered all his bones from the impact. I learned something a long time ago. Slam a Zombie against the concrete and he won’t die, but do it correctly, you can shatter its bones into tiny pieces. Then the Zombie is just like a Octopus out of water. No support structure and a mass of flesh. That can only wiggle a little bit…

So I shattered him next to her. I then allowed her to shoot him at her convenience…

It was the least I could do as soon she would join him in death…

Silvia was a good woman and I saved her soul to take to the heaven spot. I liked her and she was a green eyed black woman, who had a good heart. That I just knew, as I know these things…

Time to walk the Big City again…

Stryker

I decided to take a walk in the Big City! I was in a very upset mood after what I just heard and saw in the cannibals eyes. I never dreamed that humans would stoop so low, especially with such an abundance of food available to them at all the stores around. Food was not an issue…

I guess that I must have radiated shear hate and death, because Zombies everywhere were looking out from behind things and from around corners. They stayed away from me and had a strange silence about them…

After what I just saw, I did not even want to kill the Zombies, for they seemed more human at that moment. I took the rest of the day off, I knew that I would be getting some flack from the Reaper world about how many human souls I took ahead of time, these last few weeks. I also knew that they would keep their distance and not push too hard, for they are scared of me just like these Zombies are…

I expect one day that the Reapers will try to kill me as I cause them grief amongst the ranks. They will try but I won’t go with out taking a bunch of them with me and a bunch is what it will take to take me out…

As I walked I came upon a woman named Silvia…

Silvia was recently bitten and she begged for me to end her. She had green eyes but the green eye thing only works at the initial outbreak, Once bitten you will change like anyone else did…

I will give her story next…

I wonder if there is any other eye color other than green left as humans on earth?

Hmm…

Stryker…

I guess talking to you will extend my life a little longer. I can see in your eyes that you are the Grim Reaper. I guess I should feel lucky that it was not a Zombie that took my soul?

We did not start out as cannibals, we started out as normal everyday guys. You know? The ones that run banks and work the factories. Our luck in the draw was that we all had green eyes and that became our name, or part of it. The Green Eyed Cannibals…

We dressed in army uniforms to match our eyes and we started to eat humans as a stupid experiment. We cooked a Zombie one night and ate him out of spite and hate for what they were doing to us. Zombies killed and ate us, so we killed and ate a Zombie…

While we did not become a Zombie and could not become a Zombie as we have green eyes. We did become effected by something in the Zombies body. It effected our mental state and we started to eat Zombies as a normal part of our day. We could not stop and we also could eat all we wanted and never gain weight. It was barbaric and acceptable at that point. Eating a Zombie was not eating a human is it?

Then we killed a human, it was okay because they tried to steal from us! That is how we accepted it. Then one of us took the human body and cooked it. OMG it was delicious, it was a hundred times better than a cooked Zombie…

It was tasty, juicy and a true delicacy! That is when we lost all form of humanity and morals we ever had. The flavor and delight of eating a human was more than we could stand and the game became a hunt for humans to eat. Eating Zombies was only for emergencies. Why we would go with out eating for days until we had that delicious human to eat…

Men were okay to eat, but women were much better and more tender and the best was kids and cooking the kids alive was the most wonderf……..

Sorry! At that point I had had enough and I grabbed him by the throat and squeezed until his eyes popped out! Then I took his soul with the other 19 of them and tied their souls up in Zombie Hell. For a Zombie soul just loves a human soul to eat on while in hell…

No he was not lucky that this Reaper took his soul…

Stryker

I approached the doctors building, I had a bad feeling about this place. I could smell burning flash in the air. Like a huge BBQ pit was going except instead of pigs or cows, humans were being roasted…

Then a bullet hit me between the eyes. Now that would be the end of the story, but as you see I am still here writing. So I guess it would only be fair to tell you that in my past as a human, I obtained by the act of the gods, a suite of armor that appears as I need it and it is faster than any bullet in expanding. In fact it is faster than anything in the universe…

The bullet hit a armor shield and ricocheted off at a wild angle. Then it started to rain bullets and I stood there and got madder and madder. I do not appreciate having my armor expanded, because it destroys my clothes and I really hate being naked after it is all over…

To make a long story short, They all died and I got the story of the last one alive before I took his soul…

Next the cannibal’s story…

Stryker

While a Reaper like me usually only takes souls of those who have to die and never just kills someone for no reason. There are times that humans push their own demise and I being a special case for a Reaper,as I am the only human Reaper in existence, I get away with much that a normal reaper can not get away with. Other words, if I wanna take your soul before time, I will and send it to hell in a hand basket. So you better watch out and you better not cry, you better not pout, cause I am telling you why, the Reaper is coming to town…

So, as I approached the doctors building I was checking out, the military men tried to kill me and when I get twenty or more bullets shot at me, I get kinda testy…

So the next story is from a guy who I never got his name and yes he has green eyes. He is the last of twenty men that were held up in a doctors building and they were as bad as Zombies, they were cannibals…

Stryker
