By Barry Finn -It was a long night, but I'm still alive. Those mindless freaks kept clawing at the door until Jim and I decided that the only way to survive the whole thing would be to rush out and fight. There were a dozen of them, so I knew it could be dangerous.
It turned out to be more than just dangerous...it was deadly. The last three cornered Jim while I was distracted. They clawed and chewed him up pretty bad by the time I got to him. It was a frozen moment in time, and I noticed that three of those undead freaks were wearing zombie t-shirts.
Can you believe that madness? Just three years ago the whole world was going nuts for zombies. Zombie shirts, zombie television, zombie books, zombie cartoons...zombie EVERYTHING was everywhere and no one knew how bad it would be when fiction became reality.
It had to have been a coincidence, but I understand how it could be possible considering how many people were wearing zombie tees when the dead actually started coming back hungry. Things happened too quickly for people to actually know why it was happening, but these three fools were obviously in for a shock when their favorite movie monsters started eating them alive.
All of this irony was surging through my head when I heard Jim croak something out. I thought he had already turned, but he was still good old Jim. I held back the crowbar in my hands, tears in my eyes as I watched my best buddy suffer. He chuckled and said, "Those guys were wearing zombie tee shirts. Did you see that? Weird." I couldn't help but laugh, despite my grief.
I took care of him. It took every bit of strength I had, but he wanted me to get it done. I loved him like a brother, and we swore we would never let each other turn. I burned him with the guys in zombie shirts and then left that place behind. I don't know what I'll do now that I'm alone. I have to sleep sometime. I guess it's better than waiting for some zombie-loving zombie to come get me.
