Story Theft - No Choices

You are just waking up from a terrible nightmare about one of your teachers and another student beating you horribly; the thought is transient, as once your eyes open you realize you really need to piss. As you rush to the bathroom you notice your home is exceptionally quiet. You start looking around the home, but no one is there, which is odd for a Saturday. You shrug it off and head into the bathroom. As you unzip your pants, you look outside and notice an overturned car outside your window. It's your family car, which was soon to be your car. Sirens begin to blare throughout your house. Your AEP home alarm system is screaming the alarm

.

You sneak back to your room quietly and grab a baseball bat your father gave you when you were young. You stalk through the house looking for the potential looter. What you find shocks you: there is a large zombie standing in the back doorway of the house, motionless and swaying. You have played all the games and watched all the movies, so you know just what to do. You swing at the neck, hearing a distinct crack. Despite your expectations from movies and games, the blow is ineffective, glancing off the zombie and incurring no visible damage. The zombie turns, its dark eyes glazed over, and begins shuffling towards you.

You dodge the lurching zombie and squeeze by it and out the back door . You begin to sprint down the street, not caring where you are going or why.  After a few minutes, your heart pumping and your muscles burning, you decide that you have run far enough that it's safe to look around. There is a McDonald's down the street, a friend's house a block over, and you are also fairly near your crush's house.

Given you are fairly near your crush Vanessa's house, you decide that this is the best alternative. 

It only takes you a few minutes to get to her house, running through back-alleys the entire way. You can hear commotion in the streets around you and screaming. As you are running through the alley a zombie rushes out from behind a home, blocking your path. You manage to dodge the zombie's swing and continue running. It looked like the gas station attendant from down the street...

You arrive at the back door to her house. The door is ajar and only attached by one hinge... it looks like the zombies have already arrived.

You call out to your crush from outside the back door. "Vanessa!" you call out. "Vanessa, are you in there?" 

She calls back from inside, "I'm in here, but I'm stuck in my room and there are zombies at the door!" Suddenly her head pops out the back window. She's absolutely gorgeous, with long, blonde hair and a tight shirt on. "What the fuck should I do now?"

She's on the second floor, so it would be risky to jump, but you don't see an alternative. 

You shout at her, "Just jump, Vanessa! I'll catch you!" 

She looks at you, with doubt in her eyes, but she puts one leg over the windowsill. Suddenly you hear a crack from behind her, and she shrieks, and then launches herself over the edge and into your arms.

You reach up to grab her, but, unsurprisingly, she knocks you to the ground with a thud. The two of you crash to the ground. She looks at you and smiles. "Ummm, thanks," she says, and then she looks over her shoulder at the zombies scrambling at the windowsill. 

"Those were my parents... I guess they aren't really my parents now." Her chest is pressed against yours as the two of you lay in the grass. You smile at her as you feel her breasts against you.

"So now what?" she asks.

"We need to go get ourselves some guns... we have to go to the gun store," you tell her. She nods and then slowly peels herself off of you. 

You look back up at her parents scratching at her window, then take her hand and run back into the alley. Even the backstreets are a scene of mayhem by now. You see a zombie chomping on someone's throat beside a dumpster, and another one chasing a man down the street, the man screaming while the zombie groans.

"Stay close to me," you tell Vanessa, squeezing her hand. The two of you take off down the alley. Luckily, you are only a few blocks from the gun store. 

At the next intersection you see a group of zombies lumbering towards you, but you speed by them, leaving them lurching at a man who has run out of his home in a housecoat. Fool.

You turn left and head into the street where the gun store is. You hear gunfire and see some men on the top of the shop shooting at the zombies.

You drag Vanessa with you towards the store. A zombie catches sight of you, or smells you, and turns from the corpse it was gnawing on. It begins to run towards you. The two of you pick up speed, running towards the gun shop. The zombie is almost upon you as you head for the doors when you hear a sharp crack above you and the zombie falls back. You look up to see a man smiling down at you. "Got the fucker!" he shouts.

You open the door to the gun store and head inside. Two men are standing there, their guns trained on the door. "Speak," one of them, a large black man, says to you. 

"Ummm, what do you want me to say?" you ask. 

He laughs and grins, "That's enough, boy. So what do you want?"

"Can we hole up here? It looks like a safe place," you say to the man. 

He smiles at you, a big, toothy smile. "Well, boy, given this is the apocalypse, we probably need some of what you have to offer. In particular, I'm bettin' we need ourselves a young, pretty blonde girl. And at the moment, you the only one supplyin'. So wutcha say boy? You want to trade her for some safety?"

Vanessa looks at you, fear in her eyes. "Don't do this to me!" she screams to you. She goes to run but you are still holding her hand tightly. 

"How about we fight for her?" you say to the big black man. He laughs at you, looking you up and down.

"You want to fight me? You little fucking piece of shit... I'll fucking tear your head off!" He laughs and the puts down his rifle. He turns to the white man beside him. "Cover the door, Jake," he says. 

You let go of Vanessa's hand and stand there in front of him, fear filling your body. He's huge, and you are not. He lunges at you, trying to grab you, and you dodge, then kick him in the leg. He shrugs off your kick and laughs. You circle around, your back now to Jake. He swings at you and you manage to block half the blow, but it knocks you back and into Jake. The two of you fall backwards, tumbling to the ground. 

The black man stops and begins to laugh, looking down at the two of you. Suddenly there is a scream and you see a zombie lurch through the door. The black man turns, but before he can react the zombie has dug its teeth into his neck. He screams. You roll off of Jake and grab his rifle.

You roll over and aim the weapon at Jake. He looks at you, his mouth open, as you pull the trigger. His face disappears in a mist of blood, brain matter and skull, painting the wall behind him. 

You turn back to the black man and the zombie. The black man screams at you, "Fuckin' help me!"

You laugh. You take aim at the zombie, aiming directly for the forehead. You pull the trigger and the zombie falls backwards. The black man is gripping at his neck, trying to stop the bleeding. "Please! Please! You have to help me... I'm sorry! I'm sorry for tryin' to take your woman!"

"I'm doing you a favour," you say to him. His eyes widen, and then you fire again, hitting him in the forehead. 

You look over at Vanessa. "The other ones on the roof will be down and see what happened," you say to her. 

"I'll cover the stairs while you grab one weapon... make it quick, then we have to go!" you yell to her. She nods and runs into the store. She grabs a shotgun from the rack and then a few boxes of shells.

You keep your weapon trained on the stairs down from the roof, waiting to see if anyone comes down. 

Someone calls down as Vanessa is grabbing the shells. "Jake, how we doin' down there?"

You bring your finger to your lips for Vanessa to remain silent. You say nothing, keeping your weapon trained on the stairs.

"Jake?"

Vanessa has the shells now. You grab the remaining mags from the black man and head for the door. You burst out into the sunlight, pointing your weapon toward the roof and staying close to the edge of the building as you exit.
"Watch my back," you say to Vanessa. She nods and watches the street. It is absolute mayhem, with zombies chasing people, cars careening through the streets, and people screaming.

You hold the rifle to your shoulder, calmly watching the roof. The original man who shot the zombie who was chasing you peers over the edge. You pull the trigger and him him, sending him reeling back. 

"Alright, now fucking run!" you shout to Vanessa.

The two of you take off through the parking lot. You hear shouts behind you, and then gunshots. Rounds ping off the pavement beside you, but you pull Vanessa into an alley and away from the shots. You turn to her. "Are you alright?" you ask her.

She has tears in her eyes. She wraps her arms around your neck. "Thank you so much for saving me... again!" You feel her soft lips against your neck. You look around the alley. It is empty, but beyond the alley the street is filled with action.

"We gotta find a vehicle and get out of here," you say to Vanessa. You peel her arms from around you and smile at her. "I know you're grateful, but at the moment we have to worry about survival," you tell her. She smiles, sniffling as tears drip down her face. 

"The best way to get a car is to take one from someone who has been turned into a zombie... so let's just go and find the first car that's running," you say. 

She agrees. You lead her out into the street. You look to your left and see a zombie, an older man with grey skin and blood pouring from his lips, shuffling towards you. "Yours," you say to Vanessa. She raises the shotgun and pulls the trigger, sending the zombie falling back to the pavement. She lets out a soft laugh. 

You walk out into the street and catch sight of a Green Corolla that is already running, its window smashed and door open. The two of you walk calmly towards it. 

A zombie begins running towards you from across the street. "Mine," you call, and then fire, dropping it to the ground. You reach the vehicle and jump inside.

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin is playing. Vanessa gets in beside you. You hit the gas.

You hear for Chris' house. He lives only a few blocks away from the gun shop, so it's a quick trip. There are only a few vehicles driving along the road, but there are zombies everywhere. Most of them are still chasing after real live humans. Someone chases after your car, screaming for help, but you ignore them. You left your altruism with the dead men in the gunshop.

The dying chords of Kashmir are playing as you reach Chris' house. The front door is closed. It looks like you may have a winner. 

You pull into the driveway and get out of the car. There are a few zombies banging on the door of a house down the street, but they have not caught sight of you yet.

You knock quietly on the door. You hear some shuffling, and then a voice calling from the other side, "Who is it out there?"

"It's fucking me!" you shout, hearing Chris' voice. 

You hear a whoop from the other side of the door, and then it opens. Chris is standing there with his sister, Maria. She's a bit older than the two of you, 18, but she looks terrified. She looks at you and then at Vanessa with your weapons and shouts, "We're saved!"

"Woah, keep your fucking voice down," you tell her. You look down the street. The zombies are still banging at the door of the house there. 

"So what the fuck do we do now?" Chris asks you. The man with the guns is the man who makes the decisions, it seems.

"We're going to load up on supplies and then get the fuck out of here in our car," you tell the two of them. 

"Okay, dude, you're the man," Chris says. Maria smiles at you, "Thanks so much for the help!" she says. She has always ignored you up to this point. But this is the first time you have ever shown up at her door covered in blood and holding a rifle during the zombie apocalypse. 

"Vanessa and I will cover the door while the two of you get supplies," you tell them. They begin to rush through the house, gathering food and water. They don't have any ammunition in the house, so you will have to survive with what you have.

They come out of the house with sacks and garbage bags full of stuff, which you load into the car. Maria slams the hatch down on the vehicle, the sound echoing through the street. The two zombies down the street turn and look at you. They both wail and begin shambling towards you. 

Responding to the wail, three or four zombies come bursting out of the bushes twenty or thirty feet away from you.

"Get in the fucking car!" you shout.

The four of you get in the car. As you hit the gas and send the car into reverse, a zombie reaches in and tries to grab at the wheel. Vanessa leans over with her shotgun and fires, sending it flying back.

You throw the car into first gear and hit the gas, leaving the other zombies behind you. The two in front of you are rushing towards the car. You shift into second and floor it. The impact sends them flying up and over the vehicle.

American Woman by the Who is playing on the CD in the car. You smile at Vanessa. 

"Alright, we're going to get the fuck out of here and head for the hills," you tell the rest of the vehicle. 

They all agree as you hit the gas and burn through the streets of town. You pass carnage all along the way, the streets practically running with blood. 

You turn onto the main street to head for the highway out of town. You drive by the police station on your way out and see that the cops there are trying to make a stand. Zombies have surrounded the building and are banging on the doors while the police fight them desperately from the roof. You suspect the zombies will win the day on this one.

You make it out of town without running into any other zombies and pull onto the highway. There are cars all along the highway. For the first time, you check the gas gauge on the car. You only have enough gas for another 20 kilometers or so.

Baba O'Riley by the Who comes on. Whoever owned this car had good taste in music. 

You warn the three of them that you are just going to go as far as you can on the tank of gas and then pull over at the side of the road. 

Vanessa reaches over and grabs your hand, holding you tightly as you drive. You do not see any sign of zombies along the road as you drive. Everyone is speeding, and the road is dangerous, with vehicles honking and trying to pass each other. You pass a car that has flipped and landed in the ditch and is now burning, sending a pillar of smoke into the air. 

Finally, the car begins to sputter and you pull over to the side of the road. You hit the hazards and then the four of you get out of the car. Vehicles continue to speed by you. 

You turn to the three of them and they look glum, standing there at the side of the road. 

You turn to Vanessa and Maria. "The two of you are going to hitchhike... someone will pick the two of you up. We'll wait down there in the ditch with the weapons. Once they stop, we'll come up and, if they look nice, we'll go with them. If they look like assholes, we'll just take their truck."

Maria looks at you with disgust in her eyes, "We can't just take someone else's vehicle!"

You laugh at her. "Shut the fuck up and hitchhike. And look like you're into it. No one likes a fucking starfish..."

You and Chris laugh as Maria and Vanessa turn and walk up to the top of the road. The two of them put out their thumbs as you and Chris lay in the grass. Within a few minutes, a van pulls over and stops behind your car. You look up out of the grass to see two guys in the front seat of the van. They are motioning to Vanessa and Maria.

You decide to do the right thing. You and Chris stand up and cautiously walk towards the vehicle. As you approach, the passenger sees you and pulls a handgun from his belt and points it at Vanessa. 

"Step back, motherfucker, or your bitch dies!" he shouts at you. The back door to the van opens and another man steps out, holding a submachine gun. He points it at you and Chris. 

"Put down your fucking weapons!" the man with the submachine gun shouts. 

You look over at Chris, and he looks back over at you.

You open fire, hitting the guy in the passenger seat in the arm. He recoils back into the vehicle and you fire again, this time your road missing wide and hitting the driver, who was leaning forward, in the side of the head. 

The other man opens fire before Chris, and you see Chris go down to your left. You turn and fire, hitting the man in the chest. His finger stays on the trigger as he spins backward, his rounds pouring into the highway behind him. He hits another vehicle, which goes spinning into oncoming traffic. 

As you are shooting at the man with the submachine gun, the passenger tries for another shot, this one narrowly missing you. You hear the boom of the shotgun beside you, the man's head then disappearing in a mist, and it's over. 

You look over to see Chris bleeding beside you, and he collapses to his knees, blood pouring from his mouth.

"Fuck... those fuckers shot me," he says to you in amazement. 

"Get Chris into the van!" you shout to Maria and Vanessa. You pull open the driver side door and throw the body of the driver out into the street.

You get in the driver's seat as Vanessa and Maria pull Chris into the back of the van. They close the door and you hit the gas, peeling away. You drive at full speed, swerving through the traffic as you do. Up ahead, you see the sign for a motel. That place must have a first aid kit. 

You look behind you and see that Chris is gasping, blood pouring from his mouth. Fuck. You pull off at the next exit and pull up to a motel. The entire parking lot is empty. You rush into the lobby and see that there is no one there. You head behind the counter and grab the first aid kit. 

You sprint back out to the van and open the back door. Vanessa stands, puts her hands softly on your chest, and then gently pushes you out of the vehicle. She wraps her arms around you. You can hear Maria crying. Tears fill your eyes.

"We have to go... we have to get going again," you tell Vanessa. 

She looks up at you, her soft arms around you. "I know... but we have to give her a few minutes at least," she tells you. You know, running your hand through her soft hair. You pull her close to you, caressing her softly as you think of your friend Chris. There were only two people you wanted to save, and now one of them is gone. 

You feel Vanessa kiss your neck softly. You look into her eyes and see despair. "It's going to be okay," you tell her. "We're going to get through this, everything -"

You are interrupted by groaning behind you. Emerging from the direction of the highway are three zombies, lumbering towards you at full speed. 

"Fuck, we have to go now," you say to Vanessa. 

You jump into the driver's seat of the van. The dead body of the original passenger is still there beside you. You grab the handgun from his hand and put it on the floor beside Maria, who is crying, cradling Chris' head in her hands. "You're going to need this," you tell her. She looks up at you with tearful eyes and acknowledges you silently.

Vanessa opens the passenger side door, grabs the body, and unceremoniously tosses it onto the ground. She smiles at you, "Something for them to eat," she tells you.

You laugh, and then you hit the gas and the van pulls out of the motel parking lot, leaving the zombies behind you. You drive back onto the onramp to the highway. You pull back into traffic and get on your way again. 

Up ahead there is a junction where you will need to decide where to go.

Most of the cars stream towards the city, but you take the other fork and head up the road and towards the hills. 

There are some other vehicles ahead of you on the road, and you end up packing together into a kind of a convoy as you travel. Vanessa keeps her shotgun trained out the window. The convoy begins to slow down as the terrain gets hillier and the road tightens. 

You see the sign for a town up ahead, and as you catch sight of a few buildings the vehicle in front of you stops. There are no other vehicles behind you. 

You lean on your horn, urging on the vehicles in front of you. Nothing happens. 

You continue leaning on your horn. 

Someone gets out of the car in front of you. The guy is dressed like he's out of some western, with a cowboy hat and a pistol in a holster at his side. 

He walks up to your vehicle and nods for you to roll down the window. 

"Look boy," he says to you, "we have people upfront checking the town before we go through with our families. Now, if you want to lean on that fuckin' horn, you are well within your right to go around. Otherwise, I suggest you let up on it before someone gets pissed off."

He looks at the blood covering the vehicle. "Although, judging by the van, I'd say you aren't someone to tangle with." He tips his hat to Vanessa, "Apologies for the language, little ma'am."

"Alright, we'll wait," you tell the man. 

"Good choice, boy. Now, if you want to cover our ass, you may as well get out of your truck and cover the rear... never know when a zombie could come a tumblin' outta the woods, right?" 

You get out of the vehicle and move to shake his hand. He responds by grabbing your hand and pumping it emphatically. "Don't you worry, boy, we'll get through this. And it's good to meet you!"

He turns and heads back to his car. You can see that there are at least three other people in the car, including two children. 

You scan the woods, wary of any signs of zombie life. You stay there, waiting a few minutes, before you hear someone call from upfront, "All clear!"

You sigh in relief, get back in your vehicle, and then take off after the convoy as it pulls away. 

After passing through the town, they pull up a dirt road a few kilometers past, and then a few minutes later you are pulling up to a clump of cabins. 

As you pull up you see there are four or five vehicles, and armed men with each one. There are also seven or eight children running around. 

"Wait here," you tell Vanessa and Maria. You lean over and whisper in Vanessa's ear, "If anything happens to me, get in the driver's seat and get us the fuck out of here. We learned earlier today that we can't trust anyone."

You get out of the car and sling your rifle. You walk casually towards six men who are standing around. The cowboy is with them, and he turns to you and smiles. 

"Heya boy, welcome! My name's Jack, by the way. All of us are friends from a town near here, and when we heard what was happening on the radio we decided to come up to these cabins... I bet we'll be safe here."

All the men look relatively kind, and you can see wives or girlfriends standing near the cars and unloading supplies.

"Given you have a weapon, you could be of use to us... if you stay, we're happy to have you. There are enough cabins for everyone, including your party. If anyone else we know comes we might have to double-bunk... but at the moment we look to be all good."

Everyone looks to be kind, and there are children with them.

"What's the long-term plan though, Jack?"

Jack looks at you and laughs. "Well damn, boy, how am I supposed to know that right now? We only just drove up here... we don't have a plan yet. Look, we're all good family people, and another rifle would be useful, so what's it going to be?"

"Alright, we're in," you say to him. 

Jack smiles and shakes your hand again. "That far cabin at the end, that's yours," he tells you. "One of the girls will throw some food in there for you... the three of you are probably hungry." 

You smile, then wave for Vanessa in the van. She gets out, Maria following, and heads over to you. 

"We're going to stay here," you tell the two of them. 

Maria still has tears in her eyes. "What about Chris?" 

"We'll bury him once we get settled... we'll give him a proper grave," you tell her.

She looks at you with sad eyes but says nothing. You take Vanessa by the hand and lead her into the far cabin. It is a little far away from the others, maybe a hundred meters or so. By the time you arrive someone has already left some food sitting on a counter. All canned stuff, but still good. It is just one big room, with only one bed. 

You put your rifle down beside your door, and Vanessa puts down her shotgun. Maria opens a can of chili and sits down at the table. 

Vanessa takes you by the hand and leads you over to the bed. She begins to kiss at your neck as you stand beside the bed. She whispers in your ear, "I want to thank you for saving me."

"Ummm, what do you have in mind?" you ask her. She looks at you, licks her lips and then smiles and pushes you back onto the bed, your legs hanging over the side. 

She slides down to her knees in front of you and rubs the inside of your thighs with her hands. Her long blonde hair hangs over your legs as she slowly slides her hand up until it reaches your zipper. She unzips your pants and then fishes around inside and pulls out your hardening cock.

"I've always wanted to do this," she tells you. "But this is my first chance," she says with a giggle.

With that, she wraps her lips around your cock and slides her mouth down as far as it will go. She does not get very far, and nearly chokes, but then begins to bob her head up and down.

You moan and grip the sheets beneath you tightly. You look up into Vanessa's eyes, and behind her you see Maria staring at the two of you.

"Want to come join us?" you call out to Maria. She stands silently and walks over to the two of you. Vanessa continues to bob up and down on your cock, sucking at it passionately. 

Maria lays down on the bed beside you and whispers in your ear, "No matter what, I want you to know how thankful I am for saving me... I will be forever grateful... forever." She then begins licking the side of your neck and kissing at you. You reach down and slide your shirt up and over your head, and then Maria begins to lick down your chest. She flicks your nipples with her tongue, and then falls to her knees beside Vanessa.

She runs her hands through Vanessa's hair and then tilts Vanessa's face away from your cock, kissing her. They kiss passionately beside your cock, and then Vanessa wraps her lips back around you. As she sucks you, Maria slides her tongue down to begin flicking at your balls, making you moan loudly.

You grunt and thrust upward into Vanessa's mouth as she sucks on your hard cock. The two of them look beautiful between your legs.

"Take off your pants," you tell Vanessa. She smiles and stands up, then slides her jeans down and off her legs. She slides her panties down and and then lays down on the bed beside you. Maria has continued licking your balls as Vanessa has undressed. 

You pull your balls away from Maria and then roll over between Vanessa's legs. You see Maria taking off her clothes to your left as you guide your cock to Vanessa's virgin pussy. You slide back and forth against her hole and then slowly push yourself inside. As you penetrate her, she moans, and then you thrust forward and you are buried inside of her.

She wraps her legs around your back as you begin to fuck her, thrusting in and out of her rapidly, feeling her tight, young hole gripping you. 

Maria has slide up the bed and positions her pussy over Vanessa's lips, then descends. You can see Vanessa begin to lick Maria as you fuck her, everyone moaning in pleasure. Maria throws her head back and screams as she rides Vanessa's face.

Watching this scene, you feel your orgasm building quickly.

You grunt as you begin to empty your seed into Vanessa. You shake as you fill her, and then you collapse forward onto her sweaty chest. Maria rolls off of Vanessa and leans over to kiss you. 

"Thank you so much," she says to you. Vanessa, smiling beneath you, also speaks. "Thank you... thank you for saving us... and thank you for fucking me like that."

You smile and pull out of Vanessa and then roll off onto your back. Vanessa and Maria both wrap their arms around you and pull you tight. 

Your family is likely dead. Chris is gone. Your town is now filled with zombies. But it's never over until it's over. 

The End
