The Infected by Gregg Cocking Read Free Book Online Page B

understand how not hearing from Lil is ripping me apart. (Apologies – I am sure that a lot of you out there are also missing loved ones – girlfriends, wives, husbands, parents, kids, brothers, sisters, friends, pets – but I just feel like I am going through this all alone, if you know what I mean. I’ve checked, there is no Zombie Invasions for Dummies available on Amazon. I don’t know what to do. I am alone, shit scared and missing my only ever girlfriend with all my heart. I am not coping).

    I was playing my iPod, on random, and guess what song comes on? Zombie by the Cranberries... I have over 20 000 songs and that came on. So I decided to make an appropriate playlist for this... scenario… that we find ourselves in. Hope you enjoy (I got YouTube links for the ones that I could find).
     
    1: Zombie – The Cranberries (The song that started this all…)
    2: All Alone – Gorillaz (How I am, how I feel)
    3: Monster – The Automatic (Key lyric: What’s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster, is it a monstaaaaa?)
    4: The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect – The Rakes (Always take pride in your appearance, even if you may get eaten today)
    5: I See Monsters – Ryan Adams (And I wish I didn’t. And no, for those ignorant amongst you, I did not mean Bryan Adams. He sucks. Ryan Adams, on the other hand, does not)
    6: Cause I'm So Scared of Dying – Right Away, Great Captain! – (I wasn’t scared of dying before. But now… now it’s hard not to think about)
    7: Maneater – Boy Kill Boy (Nelly Furtado cover version) (Self explanatory this one)
    8: Who’s the Enemy – Feeder (Those things outside, the ones with the funny eyes)
    9: Human – The Killers (Ironic – The Killers… Human…the ones that are being killed)
    10: Cabin Fever – Super Furry Animals (Another one that doesn’t need much explanation)
    11: It’s The End of the World as We Know It – R.E.M (A great way to end it all off)

    I think I have food poisoning. I can’t keep anything down. Maybe I should have eaten those potatoes sooner. And now the headache that has plagued me these last few weeks is back. Other than that, I feel rubbish.

    Feeling quite a bit better now after vomiting for a day and a half (for a second I did start to wonder if I had become infected ). I also now know what it must be like to be bulimic – trying to vomit without emitting a noise is quite tricky.
     
    No news from Melanie yet although Owen and Johan have had an interesting day or two. A couple of the infected had managed to breach their defences at Eastgate, and after talking to Owen, who saw two of them being killed with his own eyes, I reckon that brain thing must work. He said that a skinny woman, who probably managed to force her way through the barricades because of her size, ambushed another woman who was on her way to the bathroom. The ‘colony’ as they are calling themselves heard screams coming from the bathrooms and sent a rescue team – Owen included – to go and investigate. By the time they got there it was too late, and as Owen says, Skinny had eaten so much of the other woman’s face that they struggled to identify her. Skinny had dragged the woman into one of the stalls of the men’s bathroom and was… feeding… Armed with a few cricket bats, a butcher’s knife and one or two skewers sourced from one of the many restaurants, the five men attacked. Owen says that the cricket bats just made her more aggro, the butcher’s knife made some deep cuts but didn’t stop her trying to defend herself (and her kill), but a skewer through the skull stopped her immediately.
     
    They had to dispose of her body over the roof, and Owen says that as soon as she smashed onto the ground, all the infected in the vicinity were upon her (in their slow, laboured manner). The next time one of the infected that made it inside, this time because “some
