Acceptance

  With a surge of new found determination

  I began the laborous process of sitting up

  Nothing is built in a day plus I have plenty of time

  All around me, students walked in carrying unconscious students with black spots

  Some of the students were panicked at their friend passing out

  You could see it in the way they kept trying to wake those who had collapsed

  Then there were some other students who were dissatisfied with the job of taking them to the clinic

  The last group of people belonged to those who were gloating.

  This especially could be seen from the face of one female student as she led another female student in

  The clinic was mildly noisy but what does that have to do with me

  These guys are all extras who are going to die anyway

  No wait some people did leave after dropping off their companion so they might not be dead

  They could have safely escaped from the school premises while I was dead

  Killed by a fast moving zombie

  Now I finally made it up

  I rested my back on the pillow while thinking of what weapon to use this round

  The backpack was the closest but that didn't work

  Who knows, the second time might be different

  It's not like the zombie was fast on the basis of superhuman agility

  But more like a regular person dodging

  Hmm maybe a normal athlete dodging sounds more accurate

  It's not like a seasoned fighter who learnt the art of battle

  But more like the way a person would dodge a bottle thrown at you by a friend

  Grabbing my bag and steeling myself

  I sat on the bed watching my environment intently

  Honestly this must be the most peaceful zombie transformation I have seen

  Usually the people about to turn make some weird movements of have seizures

  But the ones in front of me look like they are asleep

  Just a very deep sleep that can't be interrupted

  Then one of them rose their upper half up

  His eyes trembled and his iris turned red like blood was rushing in

  He sprang into action admist the screams and bit the nurse checking on him

  The student close to me also "woke up"

  He lunged at me and I dodged

  Haha screw you, who's the slow one now

  I smiled feeling happy

  Then the student rose up from the floor in an awkward posture

  It was like an invincible hand picked his upper body up until he was kneeling

  Then his legs stood straight

  He growled and turned to me

  The last thing I thought was shit that's cheating

  .............

  I massaged my wrists feeling wronged

  Stupid zombies couldn't do their weird dance when they were turning but could perform it to stand up

  The sound of his bones and joints twisting and breaking was very loud at the time

  Thinking about it made me both pissed and freaked out

  The zombies in real life are really too dangerous

  Those videos games are all liars

  They deceived people into thinking that zombies are manageable

  Tsk I kinda want to see how the apocalypse would be like

  Oh well I'm probably going to die in this clinic

  Well let's just have as much fun as I can

  I leisurely sat up and prepared my weapon

  I grabbed the bag and swung it around, ready for round 3

  Of course I lost

  .............

  Round 4

  I swung it around furiously

  Luckily the zombies were still dumb

  But my arms got sore after five seconds and the bag slipped out of my hand

  The zombie happily bit my neck

  ...............

  I tried to actually get out of bed this time

  It's kind of silly to lay down and fight to the death

  Tsk I got jumped by a zombie and that was the end

  I was dead from the impact of my skull hitting the floor

  ...............

  I kept trying various ways but my body couldn't keep up

  One time I suddenly had a seizure and was bitten in the middle of it

  Another time I opted to actually leave the clinic and try fighting one on one with a zombie

  The clinic was too crowded for me to do that

  Alas I was too slow in getting out of bed so time was delayed

  Then the zombie close to the door jumped me just as I managed to walk to it

  Another time was when someone bumped into me as they tried to leave the clinic

  Honestly it was just a graze but I still fell down heavily and was bitten by multiple zombies

  Each and every single time,my body restricted me

  At first I was enthusiastic

  And then I got tired of it

  I didn't want to wake up on the bed in the clinic

  I wanted to go out fighting to the death

  like I was in one of my games

  Fighting zombies

  But this horrid body of mine became a cage and a restriction

  It caged me from achieving what I desired

  It restricted me from playing

  I couldn't walk too fast or apply enough force

  I couldn't run away even if I tried to

  Heck one time I got a heart attack from making such attempt to run

  Emphasis on the trying because I didn't last past a minute

  Honestly this is ridiculous

  I spent my entire life not fighting my body and this blasted sickness

  Now it wouldn't even let me do the one thing I do want

  After all these years of trying to kill me,

  it wouldn't even allow me to go out the way I want to

  Why can't I be like other people

  Why can't I run out of here like they do

  Why don't I have the option to fight back

  Why can't this body of mine cooperate with me just once

  We aren't enemies

  We want the same thing

  We both want me dead

  So why why why

  Eventually I didn't want to die fighting the zombies

  I wanted to go out fighting my body

  I grabbed any object I could and killed myself before my body could

  Once turned into twice

  Twice turned three times

  Three times turned into countless number of times

  Over and over and over again

  But out of one of those countless times;

  My actions paused

  Ha ha

  Good good

  It's better to make the world fight to the death

  Let's turn this world into an endless flow of death so that we could all be free

  Free of the world

  Do you want some help

  I could lead you to the most satisfying fight to the death you could wish for

  oh why not, I thought

  I smiled crazily as the zombie bit into my shoulder

  And my smile became wider as I lost consciousness

  The zombie on the brown haired female student smiling widely paused

  It rose up and went after the next victim

  The girl that looked dead suddenly rose up

  Luckily the zombies had chased all the students away and the students who hadn't turned after collapsing left already

  Shae Harris opened her bloodshot eyes to let out a howling laughter

  Then abruptly passed out
