Memories

I woke up to the sound of Saki in the next room, playing an 8 bit cover of Nirvana's You know You're Right on a TV. I smiled and I put on my shoes and socks, and I walked downstairs. Ted was making coffee in the kitchen, and the others were watching a tape of Friday the 13th.

I pulled out a tape from a video store me and Saki looted when shit kicked off. I had a few kid friendly movies, but I had to take some things for myself.

I remembered that day so well, because that was the day I found out I was gonna be a daddy.

(Flashback, 4 months ago)

"I don't think we should choose to hit this place first." I said as Saki broke the lock to a video store. She looked at me and she broke the lock, She pulled me inside of the store, and the infected who were chasing us suddenly caught up. It was an infected family, a mom, a dad, and three sons, one of them I knew. Rob Sawyer.

I pointed my Machete at Rob, in a desperate attempt to get him to stop, but he kept approaching. His jaws snapped open and shut. He approached me, stumbling over fallen DVD cases and VHS tapes.

"STAY THE FUCK BACK!" I yelled as I swung at Roberts throat. Safe to say his head got cut off.

Mr Sawyer walked towards me, and he tried to pry the blade out of my hands. But I kicked him in the crotch, and I stabbed him in the rib cage, the blade became lodged in his chest, but he died.

"I've got the others." Saki yelled as she killed the youngest Sawyer boy, little Mike.

Then Mrs. Sawyer walked in, and she didn't look happy. She had her arm bitten to the bone. And her stomach looked bloated with decay. I pointed my pistol at her, And I shot her in the stomach. But she didn't die. Instead, a stream of blood ran down her leg, and she became even more enraged. And she ran at me. And she let out a bloody shriek. She ran over to me, and she pulled the gun out of my hands, and she started pummeling me.

I grabbed a mop from off of a cleaning cart, and I swung at her, and I kept swinging until she was a safe distance away from me and Saki.

I pulled out my shiv, and I threw it at Mrs. Sawyer. And it killed her.

"She... That wasn't gas.." Saki said as she collapsed next to a shelf of classic slasher films.

I remembered that Mrs. Sawyer was Pregnant. And I fell to my knees, and I sobbed.. I tried to reach for my gun, but Saki grabbed my arm.

"Don't, you'd be no better off then the ones who sacrificed themselves to the dead." Saki said as she pulled me close to her.

"I... I killed a mother, infected or not, that baby could've been alive."

Saki looked at the dead family.

"It wouldn't have survived.. the virus would've been passed through the umbilical cord. If it wasn't already dead, it would've been a new monster.. Besides, you have one to look forward to."

Saki said that while handing me a pregnancy test. It was positive.

"We're gonna be parents." I said happily.

Saki handed me a new weapon, she said it was for a wedding present. Since we never got to have a real wedding, just one at an old church in the woods. I handed Saki my pistol. And I took a look at the new weapon. It was a Bolo Machete.

I took a look at the Machete, and I did my usual ritual. I cut the tip of my finger, and It cut deep. I said a mantra that I repeated every time I found a new useful weapon. "To the ones who I kill with this blade, I grant you release from your rotten shells"

(End of Flashback)

I handed them the tape for a marathon length tape of all the films from the classic series. Plus Freddy vs Jason.
