The Day of the Living dead

"Run!" screamed Aisha, a 21-year-old stained in red running with Jasmine, another 21-year-old with blue eyes flooding with terror and pain. They were running down the old roads and new roads, parks, and gardens, and everywhere they could go to save their lives. "I can't do it anymore!" said Jasmine as she fell to the ground, looking at her cursed hands by which she killed her family. "You go! I will stay here. I can never forgive myself, I have no one to count on, now!" "No, no! I will count upon you and you count on me! Please, I can't make it alone." cried Aisha. Of a sudden, a whole ocean of zombies ran toward them. "RUN JASMINE!" screamed Aisha as she literally dragged Jasmine off the ground and together, they ran as fast as their legs could carry, but soon, gave up.

They both ran inside a mansion and quickly locked up the doors and windows. "Finally!" gasped Jasmine as she lay on the couch, tired and sweating all over. "Now, a quick plan. We will rest for some time. First, I will sleep for 15 minutes and you will check up on our safety from zombies and then roles reversed. You will sleep for 15 minutes and I'll check on our safety from zombies. Through this, we'll get rid of our tiredness and also stay awake for the rest of the night. Then we'll quickly cook something, pack it in our bag and survive throughout!" explained Aisha. "THADAM!!" came a loud noise with shrieks. "Wh-who's there?" asked Jasmine as she came forward with the knife facing toward the sound. "Oh, it's me, Mallika," came a fair woman with casual jeans and a tank top. "Show me your neck!" commanded Jasmine as she came closer. Mallika nodded and swiped her hair off her neck. "There's a bite mark!!" "Uh. No, no! It's my german shepherd, Bruno's bite mark. He bit me just now and I couldn't scream because I thought you people are zombies, but you aren't! That's cool." smiled Mallika. Jasmine came closer to Aisha and said, "I don't trust her. She seems really peculiar. We'll lock her in a room with the key hidden and a camera which will be connected to our phones and then, if she doesn't react, we'll tell her where the key is hidden, and if she reacts, it's good that she'll be locked up!" explained Jasmine. Suddenly, Mallika fell to the ground upon her face. Her back started getting crooked, her nails started dropping off, her eyes started turning red and her nerves were plumping against her skin. "Run!" whispered Aisha as she picked two apples from the dining table and rushed with Jasmine out of the house, locking the door.

"I knew that!" said Jasmine, "The bite looked exactly like that of a zombie's." They were hiding and running and doing whatsoever they can to take refuge, but didn't find any place! Later, they ended up inside a church. "Wow! This is my first time going inside a church," exclaimed Aisha. "Yeah. Mine's too!" said Jasmine. "This is so comfortable!" Jasmine lay down on the bench of the church and she didn't know when she was fast asleep. "Jasmine, Jasmine!" said Aisha as she tried to wake the sleepy head up. "Oh. Did I fall asleep? I didn't know that," giggled Jasmine as she yawned. "I found a blanket, pillow, and a few chocolates here. I'll keep them in the bag for later use. As of now, we'll nibble on the apples I got from Mallika's mansion. Here, have one." said Aisha as she gave an apple to Jasmine and ate one, too.

"It's late night. And zombies don't see anything. I really hate Dr. Williams Brown; he created these zombies!" sighed Aisha. "What? Why?" asked Jasmine, surprised. "He was doing an experiment of living and dead. He took a few living cells of animals and humans and kept them inside the dead body of a person. He wanted to give life again and thought his experiment failed! But, little did he know, he ended up creating a living dead or a zombie. Firstly, the zombie bit Dr. Williams Brown, then he bit others and it spread like wildfire in just one day! And the worst thing is that it works on animals too! Mallika was bit by her dog, then she became a zombie, that means the dog was a bit too!" explained Aisha, sighing. "That means?" asked Jasmine. "That means we're the only humans here!" answered Aisha. "That's so creepy!" sighed Jasmine.

They got out of the church and slowly walked down the narrow streets. Then, a bright spotlight went over Jasmine and Aisha. "THAT'S A RESCUE HELICOPTER!!" exclaimed Aisha with happiness. But they didn't realize that now, the zombies were able to see them. "Shoot! Let's run up this building!" yelled Jasmine as they both ran up the stairs and went inside an elevator. As it opened up, a zombie ran from the front toward them. "Kill it!" screamed Aisha as they took their knives out and chopped its head off. "Now, let's go!" instructed Jasmine.

The helicopter came down and the man asked them to show their necks. "She has a bite mark!" said the man as he took Jasmine in and left Aisha. "What?! No!" screamed Jasmine. Aisha was smiling and handed over her bag to Jasmine. "It'll be alright. I'm OK! Have a safe journey." she said, smiling and crying at the same moment. "I won't go without you!!" cried out Jasmine but the helicopter went up. Jasmine was crying her heart out and Aisha was down there, smiling with her tears rolling down her cheeks and she waved 'bye bye' to Jasmine.

*20 years later, Jasmine gets married and has a baby girl whom she named Aisha.*

Jasmine was combing Aisha's hair when she said, "You know something? I had a best friend too! Her name was the same as yours, Aisha. She was a beautiful and kind-hearted girl. And in the end, she's not with me anymore, neither will she ever be, but I could still see her in my dreams waving bye."
