zombie versus time

amuel thrust a new bottle of oil into his hand. ”I think this might come in handy ”, he had stated with a wink.

”Youve got to be kidding me, Zammy! ” Peters mood was now elated as he emptied some of the contents of the container on his palms before rubbing them together.

Zammy had been his bestfriend since they were in the basic school. The duo had always competed academically. They were both brilliant and handsome too. But Peter would never agree that he was.

Where Peter was slim and tall, Zamuel had shorter legs and and was blessed with a thicker body frame. He had black short hair and eyes that seemed like they could read your mind.

The two of them were so close that even during holidays, theyll stay together, switching between houses at intervals. Parents from the both sides already knew that if there was an outing, it had to be for two.

The rest of the classes that day were uneventful. And it was glaring that Peter had something bothering him.

As both friends walked back home from school, Peter felt Zamuel gently hit him in the sides.

”Are you okay? You seem a bit distant today ”, he asked.

Peter tried to pretend he was confused, ”what do you mean distant? I am fine ”. He even went ahead to fake a smile.

He must have forced the smile too much because Zammy didn fall for it. ”I know when you
e lying, dummy. Whats with you? ”

”Fine ”. Peter looked around to make sure nobody was listening before continuing, ”do you believe in zombies? ”

Peter watched as Zamuel froze.aybe he just didn know what to say.

After a while, he finally spoke. ”What do you mean zombies? ”

”I know this sounds stupid, but Ive been having a crazy dream of zombies with bite marks and… ”

”Bright green slimy skin? ”, Zamuel interrupted, stealing the words right out of Peters mouth.

Peters eyes widened in fear. ”How did you know about those? Don tell me that youve seen them ”

Zammy sighed. ”Ive been having some disturbing nightmares where I am being attacked by them. Lots of them ”

Everything suddenly seemed to become darker around Peter. Here was Zamuel confessing to be having the same dreams. How could he not be scared?

”Or, could it be a message that something bad is about to happen? ”, Zamuel asked with the fear very obvious in his voice.

”I don know. But we definitely are not talking to anybody about this. Atleast not yet. ”

Peter knew it. He was silently hoping that all this was just a coincidence. But he knew more that things like this always happened in movies, and they were not always coincidental.

Terror was about to break loose. And that terror would have his bestfriend and him in the middle of it all.
