Through the sniper scope he sees the magic hole appear and the brains fly everywhere with the silent wisp of a cheetah having it's lunge. He lays there in the barn staring out the window with a box of ammunition at his side reminiscing as he takes the 'un' away from the undead. He looks back to see 3 others. 1 reading the book his colleague and spotter for this winter and the night shift sleeping off their hunt. His head turns back into the scope into his own world of spotting.
"Roy." He hears as a harsh whisper from behind him and recognizes the voice as Sean O'Tierney. The young 16 year old who just got out of the academy at 15. The world today where .5 percent of human bodies are still human the education system faltered but didn't fail. Now you go to school from 7-15 and you learn basic math English and of course anatomy of a zombie and proper shooting etiquette. "What ?" Roy mutters just shy under his breath. He hears the shuffling crackle of a body caressing it's way through the snow. He feels warmth in form of a mist by his neck. "Can you tell me stories of how it used to be ?" Roy's eyes went cold as the winter itself at that question because it reminded him of his age. He was the PT teacher in the school season and was in the best fit of his life but it can't hide his age. He was 48 and he had lived before the zombies in a city and rural life.
Roy chuckles a little as the wisp shoots out of his scope again painting a new red spot. "Well, you see when it all first started it spawned in Scotland. We all thought it was some kind of sick joke and then it had gone airborne. Something wrong with the genetic tendencies of the clone meat which haad just been legalized in 2012. It was about 3rd week in december when it started happening in Europe All of Asia Africa and the Americas. I remember standing there with my hands on the christmas present for my girlfriend. A wedding ring. I knew she was the one." Wisp "I was living in the midwest and there isn't much ot do out there if you're just a farm boy like me who was born hunting and raised in the big city. So most people tried clone meat 'cause it was cheaper and they wanted to experiement. The president was on the verge of legalizing marijuana and absinthe so the epidemic turn pandemic was over shadowed. I was watching the news for it because I was a bit paranoid as a kid. Next thing I know the numbers come out and I start seeing things that I think are illusions. I see met eating animals without killing them and eatign them alive." wisp "I see rashes on people horrid horrid rashes. And then I went home and had a glass of scotch and thought about it. I ended up sitting on that couch for 20 minutes thinking about it when my girlfriend came in. She said she got dinner and I said real quick 'I gotta be right back hun.' She thought I was getting a christmas present but I went out to the gun store bought a magnum and a rifle and about 100 rounds for each. I alreaday had a shotgun but I wanted to be extra prepared. So I came home and left it in the car. I sat down for dinner." Wisp. Roy shuffles nervously and keeps firing at everything he sees. Sean gulps hard and asks "What happened at dinner ?" His voice so soft it was almost carried away by the harsh gust of the winter chill.
"As soon as I sat down for dinner she placed the biggest steak I'd ever seen in front of me. I asked her where she got it and she said from the deli. She said she tried a piece of it and that it was delicious. That's when I noticed the bandage on the back of her neck. I asked what it was and she said she must've scraped her neck in the woods or brushed against some poision oak. If you don't know what that is it's a poisonous plant that gives you hives and rashes. She had a horrendous rash on the back of her neck. I asked what kind of meat the steak was and she of course said 'Beef silly.' So I dumbed it up and asked if it was cloned and she confirmed it." It was about 5:30 based on the sun. The nervousness between the two of them was immense. "We'll pick this up later" roy said with rage in his voice. He took a machete and an axe and went out. "I'm getting more wood" He yelled as he left. Sean saw trhe huge stockpile of wood already there.
Stephen cherry stirs in his sleep as Sean wakes him up. "What the ???? do you want ?" Stephen exclaimed. "Roy went out to get more wood." Stephen looks at him like he's crazy "What the hell did you do to him ?" Sean is shocked at the question. "I've been with him last year he never leaves his sniper post unless you piss him off and even then you have to piss him off like REALLY BAD." Stephens eyes correspond with his concern. Stephen is a Creole boy about 5'8 Jet black hair and a lanky body. Sean is built fairly big for his age. Got enough weight and his gurth to make him look healthy. Roy himself looks like a truck in human form and his eyes are that of a predators always scanning always contemplative and precise. That's when william turns up from his blanket with his eyes shut he says with visual concern "I hate you guys so much some time." William was as fresh as sean they were both 16 with Stephen their elder by 2 years. Stephen calls at William "He pissed off Roy." William chuckles "Boy are you in trouble. Is he getting more wood ?" Sean's eyes become very scared and he says "Yes." and gulps down hard. William gets up and stretches out. He looks like a quarterback. His body is fairly built but his shoulders are immense with his short brown hair. "Well time for you to get to bed." William stretches out and gets some water and a Clif Bar and then slides on into the sniper nest. Sean nestles into a bed and let's his eyes take over and daze off to sleep.
