Rock and a Hard Place One

Tyra lost everything. A horde took out the remaining members of her group, not that there were many of them to begin with. A teacher of history, a legal secretary, a former drug addict, and a porn star. Not a stellar survival group. And then there was Tyra, a high school student who couldn’t get a high SAT score if she cheated. As if any of that mattered now.

The world she knew full of high school crushes, sneaking alcohol, and texting on her cell phone were long gone. All that was left was the dead. Funny that Tyra never liked school but managed to find her way back there.

In the initial confusing when you couldn’t tell who was infected and who wasn’t, she never made it back home to her mom and younger brother. Most likely they were dead anyway. That very morning Tyra argued with her mom about going to a party that Saturday night. Todd Lewis was going to be there and she desperately wanted him to notice how short her skirt was.

Her mom didn’t allow her to go but Tyra planned on going anyhow, only the world didn’t make it to Saturday night. Now instead of not studying for an algebra exam, Tyra was hiding in the top floor of Sunset Valley High School, the former study lab if she remembered correctly. Tyra didn’t really like the people she ended up with but at least they were alive. Seeing them all fall to a horde was hard to process and she feared she wouldn’t make it without someone, anyone.

“Tyra Harris?” Just not Peter Kline, if that was the voice she just heard. She turned to face him and saw that is was Peter Kline, nerdy, book smart, asthmatic, always had a nosebleed Peter Kline. Geez.

“Peter? Is that you?” She asked.

“Yeah, well imagine my surprise when I saw in the stairwell. I was like, wow, Tyra here huh?” The end of the world didn’t do him any favors. Peter has always had a crush on Tyra and she knew, she just didn’t want to acknowledge it. Now she’s going to be stuck here with him, she started to long for the emptiness of no one again.

Hours later and many stories after Peter finally stopped talking to take a breather. Tyra knew every detail that happened to him from the walkers killing his folks to ending up here and even though it was in gruesome detail it didn’t inspire sympathy in Tyra. She was just waiting for him to shut the hell up. Everyone still alive had a sob story, the world ended; it doesn’t mean I have to care. Tyra thought as she absentmindedly played with her nails.

“We should probably scout around before we lose the daylight, huh?” Peter asked, he knew she wasn’t listening. She didn’t even consider him alive at school before all this anyways, not even the end of the world could change that. Pity.

The two walked in silence to the stairwell and walked down two flights of stairs but stopped when they heard moans from beneath them.

“What’s that?” Tyra grabbed his arm.

“It’s only walkers trapped in the bottom stairwell, see?” Peter shined he light down and showed at least a dozen walkers grouped at the bottom. A metal caged door used to prevent students from accessing the basement held them at bay.

Peter smiled at his pets, they were the only ones that really kept him company while he was here. His mother was down there and so was..

“Todd Lewis.” Peter said out loud.

“Huh?” Tyra asked.

“He’s down there. We both took up shelter here only he was being a real dick so I helped him over.” Peter grabbed Tyra by the lower legs and flipped her over the edge. She screamed all the way down but didn’t die right away. She landed on the zombie horde who began to rip her apart including Todd Lewis. Peter didn’t want to spend the apocalypse with her anyways. If she wasn’t such a B****, he may have changed his mind.

Wow that was a bit of a surprise ending! Pretty good, I'll be looking forward to another one.

[Operational Security]

That. Was. Awesome! Just when I was thinking I wouldn't care if Tyra got bit...
