Beyond The Dead/Issue 2

Aware of Those Beyond The Dead - Issue 2 ofBeyond The Dead
It was afternoon; we all couldn’t process how something as crazy as people eating people was even possible…

Paxton: I call Walter, he’ll be willing to help us out!

Lionell: And how do you supposed he will help us?

Paxtan: All I know he stacks up on a lot of goods. Plus he does work with the school system with buses. He’ll be willing to hook us up.

Ajay: Are you serious?

That night, we took the news anchor’s advice and stayed in. Paxtan had called Walter; he was one of my Dad’s closest friends growing up. I remember he always used to take us out to the skating ring and teach us hit on girls, but that was a long time ago. To be honest, I didn’t even know him and Paxtan kept in contact with each other. After my Mother and Dad had passed away, we didn’t hear much from him. I think he was as devastated as Paxtan and I to hear the death of are Father and Mother.

7:00 A.M.

That morning I was awoken by Paxtan. He had told me to get my stuff together and he had awoken Ajay already. I then learned that people had been rioting all throughout the city, when I walked out, all I seen was a rotten Nashville that looked like it was war raided constantly over and over by bandits. Besides this, I didn’t know where we we’re going, all I had known, Walter and we were meeting up at a local Target.

I immediately got my phone, and told Dessy, Lexi, and Dee to meet up at the local Target. It turned out, they were in the same situation Paxtan, Ajay, and I were in. They didn’t know what was going on, or where to go.

Local Target

We finally got there, and it turned out Dessi, Lexi, and Dee had beaten us to the Target. As soon as I gotten out, Dessi rushed in hugged me and said. “I was so scared, there was people rioting all across my street. Some old guy kept banging on my door, so I had no choice to go throughout the back way, Luckily Lexi was there to pick me up” This was probably my high light of my day, I haven’t ever experience someone thinking me, especially from a girl. I still felt bad, this virus was the real dead, it was like the end of the world coming.

“So where this Walter dude?” asked Ajay. “I don’t know he’ll be here so-“said Paxtan, after being cut off, by what looked like a bus. “Isn’t that Mr. Dallas?”  Asked Lionell. “Yeah, you didn’t know that they had been friends for the past 15 years?” “Oh, uhm… no.” said Lionell. There was then a long awkward silence, just waiting for the bus to pull up.

Off the bat Walter came out, he had still looked young and hasn’t changed a bit.

Walter: Well are we going to stand out here or come on to the bus?

Lionell: Everyone get on the bus, I’m going to stay out here and talk to Walter for a little bit.

Everyone besides Lionell and Walter proceed to the bus.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lionell: So why the hell are you just helping us now?

<p class="MsoNormal">Walter: Look kid, I know after you’re Father and Mother’s death, you and Paxtan needed me. I wanted to be there, but I couldn’t. I mean you and I are so alike in so many ways. I have had to deal with things you have. Around the time, they passed away; my Wife was pregnant with my eight month baby boy. We we’re happy, it was looking like everything had been great. Then, we were in a crash accident, and both of them we’re dead. It’s just I was so devastated losing my family, and my best friend. I know this is no reason for why I shouldn’t been a father figure to you, but I was still young and reckless. You don’t have to accept me but know I’m trying.

<p class="MsoNormal">I could tell his eyes we’re getting teary, I have never seen him ever before being so emotional, I always known him to be an energetic guy, but not much of a caring guy. He then proceeded back to the bus; I stayed out for a little more to catch some air, until some rioters came. They had torches, pitchforks, and everything. Picture a scene of a whole village chasing down an innocent Frankenstein. This was the moment I knew that the virus isn’t the only thing to worry about, it was those beyond the dead.

Things to say
Thanks for reading, this series will be more on the characters then the dead. It is defiantly slow pace, which  I do intend to keep going with it, until later on.
