his mother.

“OK someone gave me a lift and dropped me here”, said Jake.

“What if you were kidnapped?” asked his mother,

 “I wasn’t now have I, relax Mom, it was a girl not a man”, said Jake.

“Was she beautiful?...” asked his mother.

“What?...that’s private”, said Jake.

“OK, OK, OK, I’m sorry, boys with their secrets, say hi for me to her, OK” said his mother, teasing Jake.

“I’m going to school, mom!”, said Jake.

Took his backpack and went to school. Clip was half past seven. When he arrived, he went to his friends. He went for the enrolment class. At the gate stood a red car that sounded familiar to Jake but didn't pay attention he was busy talking with his friends.

 

This car then hooted three times but now the blur blurred away as it came to mind that he knew the car, especially the driver. Au revoir to his friends and ran straight to the car. He was now definitely the centre of attraction. As he reached the car she opened the left window.

“I didn't tell you where my school was, WHAT!, am I being Cyber-stalked now?”Jake asked. “What no! Pfff... I hacked your phone and found your location”, she said and laugh.

 

“No way, a scientist and a hacker amazed you didn't tell me you can do that, WAIT WHAT! you hacked my phone! I'll report this”. Jake said with laughter.

 “No way I'm kidding but I didn't say I can’t”, said Jake.

“I went to your house, your mother is so kind and beautiful”, said Janny.

“Oh shit, definitely in trouble”, said Jake.

“Is something wrong?” asked Jenny.

“No...it’s just that...my mother was on my neck this morning asking about this mystery woman who gave me a lift”, said Jake.

“Is it bad?”, asked Jenny.

“No it’s just she likes to know everything about me...you know and now that she knows she’ll be talking about you everyday, and will be wondering when will you visit”, said Jake.

“Soon, you almost got me there, I thought I triggered a bomb”, said Jenny.

“Anyway enough about me, how about you, how are you doing today you seem kinda giggly and cheered up everything going smooth at work”, asked Jake.

She replied, “oh, not yet, I'm still going but I'm going this evening want to come?”.

Jake was loving this idea, 'work-date', fun! but he realised his mother is going to be troubled sick and wouldn't want to worry her again.

“I would love that but my mom is just... she can't handle the fact that I'm an adult and I can take care of myself”,said Jake.

“She always worries too much right, I know.” Jenny said. “They feel that it's their duty to protect us and they are not wrong, they should, if you feel that she overstates it, you should talk to her, OK”, added Jenny.

“Yeah, you're right”, said Jake.

“I'm still sorry I can't come though”, added Jake.

“It's fine don't sweat it, no worries maybe next time OK”,she added.

“Hey...I was thinking”, Jake trying to collect some words.

“Yes...”Jenny compelled in hearing what he’ll say.

“About that spot, still can’t join me?” asked Jake.

“Oh, yes of course how can I say no to that!”, shouted Jenny.

“I was afraid you might turn me down, so when are you free?”, asked Jake.

“tomorr...” she said looking at her diary, “Yes, tomorrow I’m free”.

“Good, it’s a date then”, said Jake.

“DATE!”, shouted Jenny. “I’m kidding”, said Jake.

They both laughed.

 

 

He watched her reversed and leaving him behind. For a second he despised himself for turning her down for not coming with her to work but his heart was melting by her approval.

 

 He walked home and what a sunny day it was as if the ozone burst and the opencast just welcomed the hotness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ALL INFERNO BROKEN LOOSE

 

As Jenny was going to work, she was not conscious that something was off. She was not informed by her boss as he used to. She was destructed and busy smiling at who knows what.

 

She arrived at work and all the cars in the parking area as usual. She met her friend,  Asemahle and confabbed with her while walking to the experiment room. They signed in and grab their lab coats and gloves to start to working. But in a sudden state she head a sound. “Did you hear that?”, asked Jenny. But Asemahle didn't hear a sound. She use her access card to open the proofed door and do their work. What they found was horrifying and scary. Screaming their lungs out, they tried by all means to close the door but the little beasts got out,  Jenny and Asemahle ran for their lives.

 

All the brutes were waiting to grasp fresh meat. They were hungry and devastated. Marcelous’s head was bend struggling to balance, it was not well proportioned. His eyes were blood-red. The animals were scratching the glass door, they were tiny like monsters in a cartoon movie and cute as you would depict them. But what severe danger they possessed.

 

They both ran and pressed the alarm button to make everyone conscious. The TV screen update was showing the testing room. Everyone watched with horror.

 

All of the animals seemed to be in control by Marcelous. He was a zombie but he didn't mutate, his eyes and his voice changed. The DNA of rock mutated and manipulating some of its parts and combined with his parts and made him stronger and his brain was still miraculously intact. He crashed his head to the door and hoping to release his puppets. The glass cracked a little and everyone though that it was hopeless for him to break it. It cracked more and more until it collapsed. They all ran, too bad for them the little cute monsters were quite fast compared to their pace. They jumped on them eating their flash out. The passage was full of blood and they cried out for help. But who could help them. They tried to run to the safe room.

 

Few made it in and they were scared of going out. All of their colleagues and superior were dead, were eaten alive. The cycle recycled its self, the eaten workers all woke up and as new blood suckers of the second generation., and now they wanted to eat the alive workers. Jenny, Asemahle and Bathini were still alive by this moment and stayed there for days without help guaranteed. Thinking that they are going to die, they lost all hope and forgotten that God is not extinct. The zombies were vulnerable. The source of light was their weakness. The virus was unable to withstand the light. They lived to hid in the shadows by dawn and hunt by dark.

 

All parts of Cape Town were consumed and their leader Marcelous was hunting in the shadows. They stricked Nyanga, Gugulethu, Langa etc. Until they reached the Khayelitsha settlement and wiped most of it, Site B, Site C, Harare until they reached Makhaza. Some of the section were consumed by zombies and grown more and more almost covering the entire state, nation and the whole continent.

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HELL INVADES THEIR LAST REMEDY

 

All the learners were at school, everyone was happy. No one had an idea of what might tumble above their heads. It was quite a fantastic day for everyone and all of a sudden obstructed when they were watching the news. The reporter was reporting the news but when one zombie appeared, it couldn't hold it's hunger any more, it saw the news people and decided to make a decision. It ran straight to the woman but the sun light burnt it alive. They were all dismayed and now noticed that the town was so quiet for a sudden.

 

The living dead longed for the shadows to blanket the school. Fortunate for them the zombies were few but still fatal and fast because the virus was aided by HIV and AIDS cells, they combined and made the zombies muscular and more devious.  All the learners were scared and some were wondered by the zombies and that what a miracle for it to happen in SA.

 

Jake and his classmates ran into the art's building and locked the burglar gates. Too bad for them there were no weapons to defend themselves. Jake and his friend quite knew some moves. Those who were depressed about this occurrence were easily preyed and eaten alive. Almost the entire school was exhausted, almost the entire township, province, country, the integral continent. The occurrence was growing fast and accelerated until few survivors were left.

 

Jake and his two friends Johnson, Russ and his classmates were terrified but Jake build some courage to comfort them. They realised that they were sleeping at school. Jake was worried that Jenny was in danger and that was all he could think about. His mind was all over also thinking about his mother if she was safe. He couldn't stand the thought of thinking about his mother is dead. Everyone was sleeping and he seemed to be the only one insomniac.

 

He didn't realised that he fell asleep and he woke Russ. “Everyone wake up the zombies are gone this can be our chance to escape!, everyone wake up, we have no time!”, Jake found himself a leader of some sort. “Jake where are we going”, asked Russ “Does he even know where he's taking us”, one of his classmates shouted. “Oh great thanks George why don't you protect them then huh”, shouted Jake and calling his friend to leave his classmates behind and survive on their own. “George is just someone who's going to get you guys killed”,said Jake. “what did you say Jake”, George asked with anger, “Oh I'm sorry I take it back, you'll just get yourself killed”, said Jake and noticed something in him, could it be?

 

He was gimping, he was bitten. “That's how it starts, with a bite and you don't feel any pain after twenty minutes, you will feel thirsty and anxious and your vision will blur and you will smell blood, then you will start to kill your friends”, Jake explained to him and everyone was amazed about what he was saying but some were baffled. They all wanted to follow Jake.

 

Too bad Jake didn't like going with many people so he turned them down and taught them how to survive, that you must have a weapon to defend yourself from harm.

 

All the other teachers were dead but some left the learners and these learners were sent to them as their obligation, they just left them to dice.

“Climb in guys I need to check on something”, Jake took one of the dead teacher's car and started it.

“Jake, where are we going”, asked Russ.

“I need to check my mom guys if she's okay”, Jake added sadly. He though that his mother was worried sick about him and that he didn’t sleep home last night.

They arrived at his house and Jake noticed something that his dog didn't bark at his friends but usually did to some strangers. He went to check it and found that it's dead, it's head chopped off by the chains. It was bitten and wanted to ingest it's puppies and struggle and struggled till it's head chopped off. By miracle it's puppies were still alive and nothing happened to them. Russ took them and placed them inside the car. Jake knew something was off but he opened the door anyway.

 

The smell was causing everyone to expectorate. He never found his mother not at home as she was supposed to be. There was a dead zombie inside the room when opening the door. His mother jumped at him, but Jake was alarmed and grabbed her shoulders so she won't be able to bit him.

 

This was terrifying to watch, he couldn't bear killing his mother. He tried by all means to make her leave but her hunger was most terrifying. She couldn't see that was his only son. Lucifer makes people turn on each other...

 

Jake was crying and told himself that it's for the best her soul no longer exist in this cruel world. He came out of the house his clothes covered in blood. His head
