Chapter 1 - End of Humanity

"Before I introduce myself allow me to say this much... You've watched a lot of movies and learned so much of the undead that it all seems to be something that happened before. Well it's happening in my world and believe me it becomes far more worse than most stories take you... Let's just say that people fuck things up in a way it can't be fixed and blaming someone becomes pointless. My Name is John Richards and this is my story teaching you how to survive the end of Humanity!"

(School Bell Ring) The sound of many students talking in the hallway and the soft echo of lockers being slammed.

It is the end of the semester and summer vacation starts with 3 smart students at Universaty Queens.

"yo... Kevin, are we still on for tonight?" one of the boys in the middle asked the boy walking on the right side of the hall.

"No worries bro... I got this! Just give me a litte more time to finish up the tests and I'll make sure we get paid tonight..." Kevin replied confidently.

Shortly after the one boy on the left side of the hall threw out both his hands and asked Kevin confusingly "Wait a minute... what if this shit kinda fucks people up and someone dies?"

"Wow! Steven relax... I know what I'm doing. I'm an A Student in science class remember? Plus I'm doing a lot testing with the rat who appears to have the best similar genetic structure as the humans..." Kevin explained carefully.

It wasn't long before the boys exited the building and said goodbye to each other.

The boy in the middle swiftly say "Oh and Kevin... Don't be late bro... You know we still need to get a few things done before the night ends." Kevin Smiles and look at the boy in the middle and replies "I've been working on this project for 3 months... I'm nearly done so I'll give the call when it's done, oh and Pete... Please make sure Steven is on time, because for some reason he's always the one to be late..." Kevin said looking at Steven weird. Steven Laughs and tap on Pete's shoulder and say "Don't listen to this nerd confusing you man... You'll get brain fucked by his selective words..." And Pete look at a random girl passing by. Kevin walks away and turns back around towards Steven and say "Oh and as the people say... 'For Pete's sake' Don't bail on us fucker!" As he points out to Steven while Pete laughs. Kevin heads back into the building while the other two went home. After a few minutes Kevin got into the Universaty lab.

He takes off his glasses to clean them and walks to the cage where two rats are being kept.

"So Project Rocky... Are you ready to get stoned? Your poor friend's going to miss out, but since I need to keep one sober you get to have all the fun!" and tapped his finger on the cage gate.

Kevin starts to work on the computer researching his progress so far and shortly after walk into the glass area sealed off section to start the new formula.

Before creating the pills, the formula is subtracted a little by a 50 cc injection shot into the rat named Rocky.

Two minutes after Rocky was injected, Kevin sat to watch the reaction of the rat.

The rat firstly got weak and wanted water and before it could get to the bowl it fell on its back and kicked.

"Holy Fuck! Look how Stoned you are bro... Now to see the side effects..." Kevin said with a exciting voice.

Rocky finally gets back up and starts to show signs of amazing brain activity as the effects of the formula stimulates the brain waves increasing the smartness of the rat.

Kevin rushed out of the lab to his home to prepare for tonight's meeting.

3 hours passed and Kevin returned to the lab to get the pills he made for tonight.

He took out his phone and called Steven first.

"I'm Done Bro... We meet up at 7 o' clock sharp at the Biggest Rave club in Queens...."

.

"You mean the one on the East Side down town?" Steven asked Kevin to make sure.

"Yeah... that's the one and be sure to give Pete a call and let him in on the plan.Oh and Steve don't be late... everything has to be done on time! Check you later..." Kevin hung up and walked out of the lab.

2 hours passed and its 20 minutes before 7 o' clock and Kevin is already on his way with a Taxi.

Suddenly Kevin's phone rings and he feels the vibration in his right pocket.

"Dear what time will you be back? I need to visit grandpa soon I'm afraid he's a bit under the weather..." Kevin's mother asked on the other side of the phone.

"I'll be back at 10 Mom... Me and Steve's about to watch a movie at his place and when it's done I'll head straight back... Got to go Mom, Love you too bye!" Kevin said swiftly ending the call.

The Taxi stopped and soon after Pete's car.

They group together 50 meters from the club's enterance talking about the plans for tonight.

"Hold up guys... Here's 3 packs for each of you, keep the business simple to those whose interested. Let's just do a price of $25 a piece..."

Kevin said handing the formula pills to both of them.

"No way Kev... We've got to at least start with 50 if we wanna make this work bro!" Steven said complaining about the price.

"You know I got to agree with Steven on this one Kev... We end up splitting the cash in 3, meaning we end up with less than we bargained for... Let's just say we ask enough to make this shit worth our trouble!" Pete said Explaining by moving his hands.

They all agree doing $50 a piece and started walking towards the club.

They entered and saw the different color lighting with a stroke light and heavy loud music.

The club was full of people jumping and wearing different types of glow in the dark accessories.

The 3 Students split up into different directions and begin to present what they have to offer to different people.

Meanwhile at the lab, Rocky was infected by the formula 6 hours ago and is now busy eating the sober rat from it's stomach.

Back at the club where the music continues to play loud and the dark room is filled with colorful lights,

the boys had already sold the drug to 12 people.

Seven minutes pass and the students meet up in front of the men's room.

"Guys... I got to break it to you but this shit is selling fast and people seems to be really interested!" Steven Shouts to be heard in the loud music.

"What the fuck does the drug even do Kev?" Pete asked Kevin.

"Yeah! you never even told us what the shit's suppose to do to people...?!" Pete also asked out loud.

"Okay listen Carefully...! This formula Stimulates the brain waves unlocking certain parts of the brain, allowing the person to feel relaxed and then the person becomes openminded increasing the percentage of the brain's usage...!" Kevin explains loudly.

"Holy Shit man... You're telling me that you created a drug that makes people smart?" Steven asked surprisingly.

"Way to go Kev! That shit sounds awesome... I got to keep one for myself to stay focused on my study...!"

Pete said smiling at Steven.

"This calls for a celebration guys! let's get some shots and make some Paper Whoooo!!" Kevin said throwing his hands up in the air shouting wildly.

The boys sits at the bar table enjoying shots and watching people dance all over the floor.

Steven stands up and taps pete on the right shoulder.

"Hold up Man, I got to take a leak...! Wait for me here!" And walked back to the men's room.

Steven goes into toilet number 3 and starts to pee.

On the dance floor is the first buyer of the drug stop dancing and begin to sweat heavily from his face becoming a little pale and weak on his feet.

The first buyer slowly walk his way through the people to get to the bathroom.

As the man was about to enter the bathroom, Steven comes out bumping shoulder to shoulder with the first buyer and notice the pale sweaty face of the guy not feeling well.

Steven Walks back to the bar table to meet up with the other two.

In the bathroom the first buyer washes his face and suddenly begin to feel sober and highly motivated.

one of the man's enemies enters the bathroom and jumps him into a lock.

Swiftly the brain of the first buyer advances in various ways thinking up a way to beat the man choking him.

The buyer roughly breaks free and kick the man away and bends down to rip out one of his shoe laces and grab the water tab's head and tie it on the other end of the shoe lace and swing it fast only to hit the man on his head knocked out.

He drops the lace and catches his breath then walks out back to the dance floor.

"Hey guys I saw one of the buyers on his way to the bathroom, he wasn't looking very good..." Steven said to both the others.

"What was that you said?! "Pete Asked.

"Kevin... I saw one on the users looking pale, is that suppose to happen?!" Steven Asked Kevin with a serious expression.

"No not really... You see the dosage is suppose to be very weak because even though it was strong for Rocky, it should be much lighter to people because our bodies are much bigger..." Kevin said putting his right hand on Steven's left shoulder.

"Who the Fuck is Rocky?!" Pete asked to Kevin looking confused.

"It is the name of the rat I tested the drug on... it took a while for the drug to work effectively because it worked only after like 3 hours...!" Kevin shouted.

"What about Booze man?! Doesn't it have some kind of affect on the drug?!" Pete asked curiously calm.

"That might amplify the side effects a bit and it will explain it working so soon...! It might have been a good idea making the dosage weak!" Kevin said looking in the dancing crowd.

Meanwhile at the dance floor, the first buyer starts to cough heavily and sees blood on his hands afterwards.

Shortly after the coughing stopped, blood began to flow from his eyes.

The first buyer suddenly dropped to the floor and begin to shake having brain spasms and pure white foam pouring out of his mouth.

The club is loud and dark with overcrowded people on the dance floor and the stroke light making it more difficult to see.

Nobody noticed the man falling to the ground and shortly after he dies from a heart attack.

One person who was walking towards the centre of the dance floor seems to notice the man laying on the floor and rush over to check on him.

He gently slapped the man on the left cheek screaming "Hey buddy are you okay?!" and looks away for someone to help him lift up the first buyer.

Suddenly the first buyer opens his eyes and pulls the man down to bite a chunk of meat out of the man's neck and the man falls back over to the floor bleeding.

Nobody noticed and everyone keeps on dancing while the song is being changed into a different one.

Steven's phone rings and he rushes over to the bathroom to answer.

A second person is being jumped and bitten on the back of her shoulder and began screaming.

Shortly after many others began to scream as well as they take it someone is trying to blend with the song.

It wasn't long before the same thing started to happen to the other drug abusers.

One by one each of them falls to the floor and some people start to notice ,

but doesn't seem to act on it.

After 7 minutes the first man to be bitten by the first buyer, he began to have the same brain spasms and dies of blood lost.

Then within 2 minute his eyes opened and he grabbed the nearest guy's left leg and bit him.

Meanwhile in the bathroom Steven was talking to his father on the phone.

"Oh Shit... It Fucking reeks in here!" Steven shouts while hearing a guy throw up in toilet number 2.

"Watch your mouth boy!" Steven's father yells at the other end of the phone.

"Sorry dad... I just walked in on pete taking a dump..." Steven apologized lying to his father.

"What's that noise in the background...? It sounds like really loud music..." Steven's father asked.

"Oh don't worry dad I'm just having a good time with my friends... I've got to go, talk to you later dad bye!"

Steven said before ending the call.

Steven walks towards the rest room's exit and suddenly the music stops.

Steven hears a lot of people screaming and the sound of growling with it.

He slowly opens the toilet door to peek what's happening and sees people jumping on others while some of them are mutelated on the floor.

Steven's heart jumps of fear as he went into shock and turns his head towards the left side of the club and sees pete laying on the bar table with his intestines being ripped out.

One of the girls runs with great speed and broke her right shoe hill.

Right after she falls, two of the men leans down towards her and starts to bite chunks ripping off her flesh staining their hands in her blood.

While one starts to eat the flesh from her fingers the other one bites her left ear clean off.

Steven keep staring at the floor being soaked in blood until one comes walking to the bathroom.

Steven quickly shuts the bathroom door and start kicking one of the bars at the window.

After a while he finally manage to break through and end up outside.

Out of a full club of people going crazy he only saw 5 people acting normal.

He ran as fast as he could towards Pete's car and breaks the window to get in.

He remember Pete giving him te key to drive back as Pete's plan was to get drunk enough unable to drive home.

Steven takes the keys and start the Black SUV and before he can drive away one of the people grabs a hold of him and scratches him on his left forearm.

He manage to get loose and punch the person in the face and swiftly drives off.

"Oh my God... They're Fucking Savages! What the Fuck... Kevin You crazy son of bitch you really fucked up this time! Oh God this isn't happening..." Steven said whining to himself with a crying voice.

Steven drives out of the east side of town taking the high way exit to the North Side of Queens.

After a full hour drive close to the city, Steven slightly fell asleep and ends up driving off the road crashing into the woods.

more than 4 hours have passed and Steven wakes up.

The SUV is laying on its roof and Steven on the ground.

He tries to move and suddenly screamed because of the pain.

Steven's left arm is broken and also has a piece of glass in his right leg.

Steven rests for a bit to build up strength to get out of the car.

Suddenly he sees a flash back of what he saw last night.

Steven finally tries to move and manage to crawl out of the SUV on his back using his legs.

Shortly after he got himself to stand and lean against the SUV and slowly take out the glass.

He rips off a piece of his t-shirt and bandage his wound on his right leg.

Slowly Steven starts to walk out of the woods and manage to enter the city.

He sees a public bus standing and waiting for people to get on.

As Steven walks towards the bus, His face begin to sweat and his skin becomes pale.

Finally before the bus could leave, Steven manage to get on.

"Are You okay son? You seemed to have had an accident, Shall I take you to the hospital?" the bus driver ask Steven Looking worried.

Steven said nothing and walked into the bus to take the seat at the very back of the bus.

The bus had one more stop to make before taking the free way into the city.

Finally the bus stop to pick up one man.

The man enters the bus and firstly look at the injured boy in the back and without saying anything the man sat down in front.

Steven begins to feel better and all of a sudden becomes bright in mind, he stands up and rushes over to the man in front being able to bear the pain he felt.

"Mr. whoever you might be... I'm choosing to talk to you because my mind is telling me you might be the smartest one on the bus right now... I don't have much time so please listen to what I'm about to say because I may only be able to only say it once!" Steven said to the man in front.

"Name's John... John Richards, it seems to me you had a rough day... I'm ready so go ahead and talk - you have my full attention young man!" John said passionately.

"Okay So my friend tried a really stupid thing creating a drug that increases the brain's capacity and we were 3 guys trying to sell the drugs at the west side of Queens Rave Club... It ended badly as the side effects made the people go crazy there and they started to eat each other! out of the six people who survived I may be the only one to make it this far but I believe they won't remain there because I saw them coming out of the club looking for others!" Steven explained none stop to John.

"Is this a joke or what? You want us to believe your friend created zombies out there and are now on their way here to eat us as burgers? What are you 12 boy?" the bus driver asked laughing.

"Listen to me! Call it what you want but I'm telling you th....(caughing loudly)" Steven shouted and began to cough blood into his hands.

"My time is up Mr. John, I may not know a lot of things, but I can tell you this; what I saw last night was beyond all my nightmares and I'm giving you this warning that a storm is approaching this please? and they will turn this place up side down... You need to do all you can to make sure you survived!"

Steven said to John with shorten breath.

"Take it easy young man I heard what you said, you seem to be in really bad shape..." John said with a sad facial expression holding onto Steven.

"I still have one more thing to say, maybe there might be a way to still fix this... I need you to prepare and remember this - the whole world might depend on your survival so you need to get to Universaty Queens East and find the lab... My friend Kevin's research on the formula is still there he might have a password so be sure to remember the password it's 'I am rich project'... You have to survive, because you might be the only one able to retrieve the research and get it to someone who is able to work out a cure for this... My friend made a mistake and I know now that it wasn't a drug he created, it's a pathegen! I..." Steven stopped with blood flowing from his eyes and fell to the floor and began to shake while foam appeared from his mouth.

Suddenly he stopped.

John bends down to check his pulse and discovered Steven was no more.

people around them hearing the story didn't believe Steven, but John did.

The bus was close to the nearest exit to enter the city.

Seven minutes passed and Steven opened his eyes.

Everyone thought of the boy just having a black out, but John knew the boy was dead.

John jumped up towards the bus door grabbing onto the support bar.

"What are you doing?!" the bus driver shouts to John quickly gazing at John and back on the road.

John struggles to get the bar loose from the floor.

It happened so quickly and Steven managed to bite 3 people already and finally just when the 4th person was about to get bitten, John swings the bar to bash strongly to break? Steven's skull and watch him fall to the floor without getting up again.

"I guess some things are facts when it comes to 'zombie' stories..." John said refering to the destroying of the brain rule.

4 minutes passed and the bus driver takes the exit to the North side of the the main city.

The 3 bitten people fell to the ground and began the brain spasms with foam coming from their mouths.

Everything seems to be perfectly normal outside the bus, but inside the bus people are screaming and getting eaten by the others.

John goes to the front of the bus and while the bus drives ,more and more people fall to the ground with bloody wounds getting spasms and dying.

In a mere 12 minutes the whole bus were infected leaving only John and the bus driver alive.

John uses the bar to push away the infected, but they keep coming and John soon learns something- that they appear to be much stronger than the movies and comics.

"Listen to me... You have to slow down your speed and open the door! We're going to jump and leave the bus to crash killing them all... Hurry up! My arms are already at theit limit..." John says to the driver pushing another two infected to the back.

The driver was shocked and could not say a word.

The driver left the seat first and jumped out first and shortly after John as well.

John lay on the floor as he watched the bus drive into a huge company building.

The infected didn't die in the crash and slowly walked out of the broken bus into the building.

John stands up and run passed the bus driver who couldn't get up because he's really fat and broke his leg when he jumped from the bus.

John manage to stop a taxi cab and shout "To Easternbay 14th Ave... Step on it!" pointing out to the front.

John finally arived at his house after a 48 minute drive and ran to the middle of the street calling out to 3 of the neighbours close by.

"Listen to me... turn off your power and baracade your homes as tightly as you can! For some reason Hell is on the way here and people are going to die! After what i've seen... I believe staying indoors quietly is the best way to survive. We need to wait out the chaos because the infected won't be the only dangerous things out here, people are going to kill each other out of fear... so be hasty and do all you can to seal off your house and stay quiet!" John explained to the neighbours.

Sadly enough - only 2 households listened to John and did what he said.

Before John could enter his house a young teen boy came running towards him asking "Mr. Richards... wha'... what about leaving town?" the boy asked John.

"I'm afriad it's already to late... the infected are spreading in the city as we speak and they're growing in numbers not even the army's going to stop them... this is a pendamic crisis! so all exits are already sealed off under US Govern orders... Head back inside now and help your father baracade everything... Hide in the ceiling if you have to and drink water from geezer, take food as well... And keep everything quiet and do not answer calls or try to reach family or friends!" John instructs the boy before entering his house.

John worked almost 9 hours to baracade and prepared some weapons and clean water. He also prepared a place inside the roof to hide in case of the infected getting in.

John sits in silence in the living room listening to the silence of the neighbourhood.

He awaits the sounds that will let him know when the infected reach the neibourhood.

At 7:58 am John is already asleep on the couch and suddenly the dogs in the neibourhood starts to bark and cry none stop.

John remain asleep until at the far end of the neibourhood a woman began to scream very loud as if she's being murdered.

John quickly jumps up and listen to dogs and people screaming and fire burning.

John prepares to head into the roof and peak one last time out the baracade side talking to himself.

"A world of Years build gone to Hell in days and the sight seeing the end of humanity before one's eyes are truly worse than watching any zombie movie or having your worst nightmare! Who would have thought one kid's mistake could fuck the whole world... This truly is the kind of mistake that turns things so bad that it really can't be fixed. I guess finding someone to blame won't do shit! When things go quiet there sure is only one thing left in the world to do... SURVIVE!!" John said and climbed up into the roof lifting the stairs as well.

He could only hear chaos outside and finally closed the small door.

To Be Continued...
