Infection

"AHHHHHHHH…"

The high pitched scream immediately disturbed the tranquility and peace of the passenger cabin alerting everybody.

A young boy barely of fifteen years was staring out of the plane's window seemingly deep in thought. He was wearing a simple black T-Shirt,black jeans,black shoes with a black watch. Apparently he loved the colour black.

The scream jerked him out of his thoughts. He immediately stood up and looked at the direction where the scream emerged from. His calm actions starkly differed from his fellow passengers and classmates.

Half of them were running around like headless chickens and the other half were cowering in their seats.

While he was pondering on whether to assess the situation or remain in his current position an air hostess came running down the aisle. Something seemed to be chasing it. What he saw next made him breakout in cold sweat.

It was a zombie. An actual zombie growling and groaning while chasing the woman. The other passengers avoided it like the a walking plague. Which to be honest it was. Who hadn't seen a zombie movie?

Unfortunately, the air hostess fell right beside his position in the aisle. Before she could crawl the zombie pounced on her like a beast and started to tear her apart with its hands and teeth.

The boy immediately realized his predicament. After the zombie finished its 'meal' it would start looking for an 'appetizer'.

He tried to jump over the seats behind but before he could even move the air hostess who should be dead grabbed his ankle. He tried to free himself but then the zombie grabbed his ankle as well and bit it.

"FUCK!!!"

The boy immediately gave up all thoughts of retreat and gave in to his anger. He grabbed the zombies head and kneed it two or three times. He obviously wasn't in a state to keep count.

The zombie not expecting his brutal counterattack let go of his ankle. But the boy didn't stop. Instead he screamed,bent down and grabbed it's neck. Proceeding to smash its head on the adjacent armrest.

SMASH!

SMASH!!

SMASH!!!

SMASH!!!!

He kept on smashing it until there was nothing left but a mangled mess of brains and blood.

"Haa….Haa....Haa…"

He was out of breath and dizzy. Blood gushed out of his ankle like a fountain mixing with the air hostesses and the zombies blood.

Instead of sitting down and taking a breath he got on his knee,grabbed the air hostesses head who was still faintly breathing and brutally smashed it into the ground until there was only blood and brains.

"Fuc*ing B*tch…" He muttered and got up.

What met him was over a forty pair of eyes staring at him: horrified. Almost all of them were his classmates.

"How could you do that!?"

"She was innocent!"

"Who are you!?"

"I can barely recognize you anymore!"

"You monster…"

"It's not real is it…"

"He didn't do it right…"

The boy ignored the abuses hurled at him from his classmates and sat down to examine the wound on his ankle. Obviously it wasn't the only injury. There were minor scratches and scrapes here and there. His knuckles were bleeding as well.

He ignored the excruciating pain and rummaged under his seat. He pulled out a life vest and wore it without hesitation.

Then suddenly he thought: 'Where is that guy?'

Before he could continue down this road of thought a sharp sensation of dizziness hit him.

He grabbed his head and tried to focus. Instead the bouts of dizziness increased. He felt like his head was about to split apart. Slowly, this painful sensation increased instead of subsiding. The boy held onto his consciousness desperately. Who knows what would happen after he fainted?

If one of these dumb imbeciles actually had the idea of being a hero and killing him or at least, restraining him then that would be truly unfortunate.

While the people inside the plane were in a state of confusion and ignorance an immediate calamity was heading towards them from the its left in the form of a plane. As soon as these two collided the fates of every single passenger on board would be sealed.

The two planes were in a steady collision course but eventually one of them rapidly tried to increase its altitude and the other was desperately trying to decrease its altitude. But the heavens were bound to be cruel today. A portion of the descending planes wing collided with the other. Even though it was just a portion it blew a hole in the passenger cabin without fail.

As fate would have it this hole was about twenty feet away from the boy. A massive suction force appeared dragging a few chairs with it and whisking away a few passengers who went away with their fair share of screams.

The boy who was already in the last throes of his consciousness grabbed his chairs handle. He held on for dear life but his feet were almost flying.

Seeing his struggle bear no fruits he grabbed the chairs headrest. He struggled desperately for a few minutes but still got whisked away…..
