Awakening

  I sat up with a start then fell back down again

  I can't believe I almost had a seizure from sitting up so fast

  My hands rose up to feel around my shoulder and neck region

  Dry skin and no blood and neither was there a gaping wound

  I looked around and it was the same scene

  The students were being sent in to the clinic by their friends and the nurse was running around trying to figure out the problem

  I looked at the time and it was a few minutes before the first class began

  I checked my game console and it was the same date

  Then what was that

  Was it a dream

  But it felt so real and vivid

  I can still feel the pain from having my neck bitten

  But now there's nothing amiss

  No zombies and the nurse was still alive

  I felt a sting in my wrist and started to massage it

  Yesterday or more accurately a few minutes before I died;

  I woke up in the infirmary and started my life as a wayward student

  I just relaxed and played games on my console

  Then I stopped to massage my wrist and took the time to appreciate the weather

  Then the nurse was attacked and the clinic went into chaos

  The zombies rose up and started attacking all living people nearby

  There was also some students who didn't wake up and were ignored by the zombies

  But which kind of zombies are that fast and agile

  I thought that they were all slow moving and dumb

  Jeez the zombies in my dream... hallucinations.. whatever were 5 times faster than I could move at my fastest

  Damn that's sad

  I'm slower than a literal corpse

  And I'm the one alive...well barely but still, my heart's beating

  Then what do I do

  First of all, there's no real indication that what I saw and felt was real

  But the similarities can't be a coincidence

  Should I perhaps try it again

  I mean should I just wait and see if it would happen again

  But wouldn't that be crazy and dangerous

  There's a 50% outcome that leads to death

  The mode of action that could be performed depends on two basis of consideration

  First; the hallucination was real and it's about to be the zombie apocalypse

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  The world as I know it will end in a matter of minutes right before my eyes

  People are going to be fighting to survive and the stability that we barely found will be destroyed once again

  And I with my broken body will have to escape from both humans and zombies while fighting seizures

  Tsk sounds horrible

  Honestly I'd rather hope I have a heart attack at the first battle

  Unlike other people, my biggest enemy is this wretched body of mine that wants me to die

  Second; it was all in my head

  I probably fell asleep while playing games and had a nightmare

  I checked the game console and indeed it was a zombie shooting game

  Half of the games in the console were horror games like zombie shooting games, ghost puzzle solving, monster hunting games

  The other half were sport games like race car driving, sky diving while dodging objects, war games, alien battles

  The reason why the games I play are liable to give you a heart attack if you played as much as I did

  Is because I requested the Ming tech corporation to make it virtual reality so that I might actually get a heart attack

  In recent times meaning after the natural disasters

  Human beings surprisingly evolved in terms of intelligence

  It's like the whole world was suddenly inspired and all the technology we thought were fantasy became reality

  Things like virtual reality, high energy guns, flying vehicles, artificial intelligence and accompanying robots

  The world was in its prosperous tech era

  Though all the weapons and robots were in the hand of the government and the nobles

  Infact the noble that is specially involved in handling and distributing these high tech weapons are the Noi family

  And to improve their image as not being a Mafia family that the public perceives them to be;

  They built an orphanage for disabled children and generously sent one of these disabled kids to our school

  But what does have to do with a terminally ill about to die young adult

  Anyway I requested for the game console to be connected to this device that basically monitors my life signals

  The device was called Life-tech

  It was specially designed by the Ming family to tell the doctors when I'm about to die

  It stands to reason that the point of such an invention is to take care of me when I have life threatening episodes

  But what they actually use it for is to make sure they silence my death

  See I'm already "dead" according to the public

  So it would be disastrous to the Harris family if I went off and gave up the ghost just anywhere and people find out I was still alive

  What if they take a video and post it online

  That would destroy them

  So once the circular green device behind my left ear notices the signs of death then the doctors and my family men have to come running

  They would have to dispose the body quickly and reduce damage control

  Anyway it's easier to monitor me here because this is a school for the elites

  The heir of a family that has a share in controlling the society can't be left unsupervised so this school is adequately monitored and protected

  Honestly I find it hilarious that they decided not to build a wall

  The purpose is to separate themselves from the commoners just to give the illusion that nothing has changed

  People go through life behind an illusion that everything is normal

  There is a good side to this illusion

  People can actually display idiotic arrogance in real life

  To give a perfect reference

  Someone actually screaming how great their father is actually works now

  For example

  My brother can just waltz into a restaurant and demand it to be closed because he doesn't like someone's face

  He would tell them with an ego the size of a hot air balloon

  "Do you know who I am"

  "I am Johnathan Harris" and then the owner would kneel down to apologize

  Those corny cannon fodder in movies would actually feel right at home here

  I snorted thinking about the idea until the sound of the school bell ringing for first period made me focus

  Right I'm about to potentially be bitten by a zombie

  This isn't the time to think about someone face slapping my obnoxious brother

  Honestly if my body was at least able to move without me gasping for breath after 5 minutes

  I would gladly pick up a chair and fight the zombies to death

  Normally one is meant to be afraid of zombies

  And that's because they don't want to die or they don't have the guts

  But I have no fear towards death instead I actively seek it

  I have lived a life of endless pain and torment from something that isn't even physical

  I can't see the problem in my body but I can feel it

  And it hurts

  So I just want the pain to end

  Sometimes I try to use a knife to open the parts of my body to hurt to see why it hurts so much

  But my hands aren't strong enough to hold the knife for a long time

  So it falls off my hand and I groan at the pain

  Sigh I really wish I could pick up that knife and go out seeking death

  Unfortunately I can't even get out of bed

  I sighed for a while before deciding to try to get out of bed

  I slowly sat up with difficulty while my whole body was stiff

  Too much movement too fast makes my body ache so I move slowly like I think about each step before I take it

  Suddenly I heard the scream and I knew which option was correct

  It seems I wasn't hallucinating

  And then I was attacked by a student who had turned

  I lost consciousness

  He he

  Ha ha ha

  This world should be endless flow of blood and a heap of corpses
