We Find Zighile Comstock: Part 1

*** I will try to get an update tomorrow or the next day after we get some sleep. The food was good and sounds like we gotta run to get our room for the night. The diner also has a meat loaf special tomorrow and that sounds good… ***

Damn the roads are rough in Canada! I am trying to write this in the truck as we run full tilt after Zighile Comstock…

Yes Zighile Comstock we happened to stumble upon the famous man himself and not the other that we were looking for. It seems that someone had a switching of identities and ran for the hills or the boonies near Canada. Now we are in Canada with the pedal to the metal trying to catch the man who started all of this crap…

We almost had him but at the USA border but something bigger than all of us put together took out a whole boarder station…

Okay I guess that I am jumping the gun here. Maybe I need to back up, because the last time we talked, we were getting ready for bed after a good meal and I was expecting meat loaf the next day…

Flash back a few days: We had a good night sleep and got up to the smell of coffee. Ben was up already and was making coffee and breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon. We spent the night at the friend of a friend as I said. But it seems that at one point Ben realized that the friend of the friend was a Zombie. Then when the Zombie realized that Ben was an uncommunicative Zombie by mind thoughts. The Zombie ran and never came back. Dogg and I slept through it all and Ben Zombie stood watch. Ben decided that all hell is going break loose at one point and Dogg and I would need our rest to fight. He ended up being very correct…

We ate and left the house we stayed in. I knew that the gig was up, because I could feel it in the air. The whole population (About 50) was gathered in the square of the town and we could see that they were literally all Zombies. In fact at this point it looked like everyone had been converted during the night. I walked to the truck and pulled out 5 grenades that I kept hidden for emergencies. I pulled the pin on one and tossed it through the window of the house we just left. I decided to take the town with us! Ben and Dogg looked at me like I had gone plum local. I told Ben and Dogg get ready because these are the real McCoy as I pointed at the grenades and they are not flash bangs…

With that the whole house came apart and while the Zombies staggered from the shock and impact I walked toward them with my two handed Chinese broad sword. I decided to kill some Zombies today – Damn them anyway…

Dogg did not have to be told twice – it was Zombie killing time and he growled with that wicked growl he did as the remains of the house rained around us. Ben was pissed at me because it seems that he took a huge splinter of wood n the chest. Now don’t worry remember he heals quick and it just pissed him off. That was good because he took that pissed off mood and went after the Zombies after I yanked out the splinter. It was about two foot long and 3 inches thick. Maybe board would be a better word instead of splinter…

The Zombies reacted very properly and all turned to the head Zombie or boss. They looked for guidance. That is when I realized – From a picture of his book. That we had hit the jackpot and found Zighile Comstock. I yelled to Dogg and Ben as I pointed at Zighile Comstock. He is mine I do not want him hurt…

Zighile Comstock saw and heard me yelling and that is when fear took over his eyes. He knew that I was not a mistake showing up at this god forsaken place. He knew I was here for a reason and that reason involved Zombies…

Zighile Comstock sent all Zombies at us at that point. I saw him grab a young girl by the hand. The girl was covered in multiples of scars. All healed but all had been stitched up! She turned to look at me and I could see in her eyes what she was. She was the beginning Source Code Zombie. All others came from her and as she looked at me. I felt that same force that overcame me at the Old Power Plant, when I cut the chains loose on the power generator…

It was her that did that too me. She called me by name in my head and told me to save her…

That is when I lost track of what was happening. She drove me to insanity and I fought like it. Ben stayed away and fought with Dogg. They took out about a quarter of the Zombies but I guess that I went bazaar on the world and when I came out of it I was within reach of the little girl and Zighile Comstock. Zighile Comstock was panicked at that point. He was frantic as I came at him with a look on my face that even my mother would not like…

Behind me was a slaughtered field of Zombies and Dogg and Ben were cleaning up the stragglers. Then the ground shook as I almost had Zighile Comstock by the throat…

A hand had reached out of the ground and grabbed my ankle. Then I came back to reality and realized that we were in a cemetery! If you have been reading all along then you know that a Source Code Zombie can raise the dead just by walking through a cemetery. Well guess what?

Zighile Comstock reacted and drug the girl Zombie with him as the ground exploded around me with hundreds of Zombies. The energy that had been bestowed upon me the first battle was gone and I was drained. That is when I heard Dogg and Ben giving their war cries…

This time Dogg and Ben became the driven and possessed. They saved my butt…

As the last Zombie was taken down I saw a 4X4 truck with Zighile Comstock at the wheel tearing out of town. We ran back to our truck but realized that someone had cut he tires…

So I decided to slow down and said, “We fix the tires, we eat, we stock food, we rearm, we fill up the fuel and we level this town from HELL!”

So that is what we did in that order…

As we left the town I turned and looked and it was a blazing inferno. I smiled as I knew we caused a huge set back in the plans of this sick guy! Now it is time to get Zighile Comstock…

I told Ben and Dogg to get back in the truck and lets go. At that point we had no idea what was going to happen as we went after our prey. I just knew that inside me, something was driving me to do this and now I knew that little girl was the source. I was thinking as we drove and almost missed a broken down 4X4 at the side of the road. I slammed on the breaks and backed up. The first thing that I saw was several dead bodies at the side of the road. there heads and limbs were torn off. This was not Zighile Comstock or a little girl. They must have something else with them…

I looked in the back of the 4X4 and saw a thick steel barred cage. I knew whatever was in that cage was strong and bad. Now it was out! I looked at the dirt and saw another set of tire tracks. That must be what they took off in. Looks like they broke down and when a car stopped to help they killed them…

I looked down the road and looked at Ben and Dogg! Then I looked down the road again. I heard gun shots and I realized that I could see the border from here and I saw something big and ugly tearing border patrol men to pieces…

It was time to get the big guns out, while I unlocked the false floor in the truck bed…

Ben had a 30 caliber machine gun and was hanging out the window. I had an AK47 ready by my side. Dogg was at the window ready to jump out when I stopped. He had his titanium teeth exposed in a constant growl. He even scared me…

I pulled the truck up sideways so Benn could start shooting. Dogg jumped out and ran full speed at the Zombie that was killing boarder guards left and right. Benn unleashed clip after clip into the Zombie. It seems to do no good…

Then Dogg climbed the Zombie’s body and was attached at the base of its neck at the backside with his indestructible teeth…

Dogg was the one that got his attention. As he screamed bloody murder at having a bad ass little Dogg chomping on its neck…

He finally got hold of Dogg but I was ready for that and shot the Zombie between the eyes. That made him drop Dogg instead of crushing Dogg. Dogg ran like lightning…

It looked like all I did was piss the Zombie off by shooting it between the eyes. But it quit killing boarder guards and decide to kill us. Nice huh?

Ben started to rattle clip after clip of ammo into the Zombie and I flipped the AK to full auto. I started to unload all three 30 round clips that I had on me. The damn Zombie did not care and kept coming after us. He was almost at the truck and as he attacked Ben Zombie at the truck window I grabbed a grenade that was behind the seat. That was when the truck was almost picked off the ground and shook like a toy. Ben had crawled inside and was okay. But that left me standing right in front of that Zombie. It dropped the truck with  bang and grabbed me and picked me off the ground. I saw behind it a patrol car escaping and inside I could see Zighile Comstock and the little girl. That pissed me off. So I pulled the pin on the grenade and as the Zombie screamed, I stuck the grenade in it mouth, like jammed it down it’s throat…

Dogg was not going to let a Zombie beat his dad up so I found Dogg on top its head trying to rip his eyes out. Then I realized that Ben was at his belly and had jammed his samurai sword into the Zombie and was trying to cut him in half. It crossed my mind right then that we were a real team and no one was going to go without the others going with them. It would have been a good time to have a tear in my eye but I though that I will wait to have a cry later. Right now, there is a live grenade getting ready to go BOOM!

Well with a Dogg eating his eyes and a Ben slicing and dicing and me jamming a something down its throat. The overgrown Zombie dropped me and swiped at Dogg like a flea and ran with Ben’s sword stuck through his body. We all hit the dirt and two seconds later, Zombie guts everywhere… (Yuck)

That is when I felt the little girls mind again! She said, “Help Me Daddy!”

To be continued – Part 2 tomorrow… (Or the next day! I promise! Unless a Zombie gets me!)

Visit From a Zombie…

I have had very little rest after the run in with the leader Zombie in the story a few days ago, but alas I was to have no chance for rest. I was lucky though and decided today to do some rethinking on my weapons that I am using. I also decided to rethink my clothing…

So I made a trip to the local shopping establishments. I got snakebite proof boots, hunter’s canvas pants, a leather long sleeve pull over shirt, a long trench coat and some new weapons. The weapons consisted of a new machete and a trench knife…

I also picked up some special claw boots for Dogg with titanium claws. He is out back digging with them now as I write this. I can tell he likes them… 🙂

I realized that I need a little more protection now that it is starting to look like the number of Zombies is increasing. But that is all minor in comparison to what was waiting for me when Dogg and I got home from shopping for our toys…

So to get back to the gist of the article: When Dogg and I got home from shopping. Dogg was upset as he stood by the front door waiting for me to unlock it. He was sniffing the door where it meets with the frame. I put the key into the lock and realized that the door was unlocked…

I stopped what I was doing and pulled the new machete out of the case it was in and the trench knife out of the box. I then laid the rest of the stuff on the front porch of the house. I opened the door and allowed Dogg to go in and find what was wrong or better yet who was there…

I walked in slowly and could feel a problem but nothing seemed disturbed. Dogg was upstairs running from room to room and I was downstairs checking each room. I then heard Dogg growl and I took off for the upstairs. Dogg was in the last bedroom down the hall. I quickly entered the bedroom and flipped the light on. That is when I froze in place. For standing in the center of the room, was a small child that obviously was a Zombie? It was a graveyard raised Zombie. It had glazed eyes and was grey pallor in color. That is the normal color of the embalmed undead. She looked to be very old and I realized that she most likely was from the graveyard that was located in a small wood near my house. It was a place that has been set aside to preserve a graveyard from the 1800’s…

Those made me realize that a source code Zombie is around the area. For they are the only ones that can bring the long dead back to life and all they have to do is walk through a graveyard. Other words in a huge graveyard you could have hundreds of Zombies wandering looking for tasty humans to eat…

What I could not figure out by looking at the little Zombie was how she got into the house. She is obviously a risen dead from a long ago death. That is when the hair on the back of my neck stood up and Dogg at the same time realized that something was behind us. The little Zombie was a plant for putting us off guard. I told Dogg to get the little Zombie and I turned 180 degrees around. I saw a fast flash at the door way of the bedroom. Something ran from me and it was fast…

I left Dogg to kill the little Zombie and I ran out into the hallway to see a man of about 25 years old standing at the top of the stairs. He was dressed in t-shirt and blue jeans. He was barefooted and was pale blue in color with sharp green eyes and brown hair. I could see the thoughts in his eyes at what he should do. Attack me or run…

Then something made up his mind and he came straight at me at full speed. I had just enough time to react and that reaction was pathetic at best. With my arms up to block him he proceeded to slam into me and pushed me through the wall at the end of the hallway right into the bathroom that was located there. I dropped the machete but of course I had a trench knife that was on my hand. I watched him pull a long thick splinter out of his face from the broken wall and his face healed instantly. I knew that my wounds were bad as I started to feel blood seeping around me. My blood on the floor made the Zombies eyes glaze over for a second. That is what happens when a Leader Zombie smells blood. The Zombie instinct takes over and becomes stronger than the human side of them…

I realized my one chance and stabbed him with the trench knife right in the chest. I then twisted the blade back and forth trying to do as much damage as I could. I had to get him off of me before he bit me. He recoiled at the brutal assault that I assailed upon him. Being that he has so much human in him it had to have hurt…

He stood up and tripped over the opening that we had made in the wall. I got up with machete in hand and cut his arm off as he used it to block my blow with. He grabbed his arm and pushed with his legs against the wall and scooted himself out of my immediate reach. He then attached the arm back in place and in a second it was like he never had an injury…

His eyes unglazed and I could see fire smoldering behind the lenses. He got up and came at me again. This time I was ready though and met him with a charge of my own with trench knife in his guts that doubled him over and then sever the spinal column in his back with the machete. I knew that would not stop him long. So I proceeded to start chopping for all I was worth. I had to get his body cut in half before he could pull away. Then I had to separate the two halves of his body. I could then kill him a lot easier…

I realized that I was very lucky that this Zombie was a non-combat trained Zombie because I would be history right now it he could fight…

He grabbed my legs as I finished cutting him in half. He had a simple thought at this point. Just bite me is what he wanted to do. So I was far from safe. Dogg had finished what he was doing to the little Zombie and walked out into the hallway. Dogg evaluated the situation and bit into the back of the neck of the Zombie. I heard those razor sharp titanium teeth crunch down upon bone…

Dogg was trying to drag the upper half of the Zombie away from me, but the Zombie would not let go of my legs. Then Dogg let go of the back of his neck and the Zombie turned his head toward the dog and screamed at it. I knew that Dogg would finish him now…

Dogg grabbed the front of his throat under his chin and bit as hard as he could. Then Dogg proceeded to shake the Zombie like a rag doll and was ripping the Zombies throat out. The Zombie let go of my legs and grabbed Dogg. That is when the fight began. For you see a Leader Zombie has to have its brain chopped into small pieces to kill it. So Dogg and the Zombie went into a death struggle right in front of my eyes. Dogg was not going to let go of the Zombie throat unless he was killed. I was trying to get to the Zombie to help Dogg but I was afraid of hurting Dogg by slashing with my machete…

Then they turned in the hallway and I had my chance. I cut the top half of the Zombies head off with a smashing blow of my machete. I swung so hard that the machete was embedded into the wood floor in the hallway. The Zombie stopped moving…

Dogg let go of the Zombies neck and sniffed at the Zombie. I then saw Dogg do something that I have never seen him do before. He pissed on the Zombies face and looked at me like, There, That is how you kick a Zombie butt…

PS: What a mess to clean up and then I had to come up with a good story at the hospital on how I ended up with glass, wood splinters and such embedded in my back. Ouch and 48 stitches, is all I can say is the next story is about checking out the graveyard for more risen dead Zombies from the Source Code Zombie…
