Zombies of Chernobyl, chapter sevenA Story by Stephanie MThis is a continuation of my Zombies of Chernobyl series.Francis knew that he had to eat something in order to survive. He took several bites of a pleasant smelling apple, and became violently ill. He soon developed a high fever, and he couldn't stop throwing up. It was a miracle that he even survived! A couple days later, Francis realized that he could ingest a small amount of food, over the span of several hours, without getting sick. Francis entered the remains of a drug store, in hopes of finding a chocolate bar, and some homey to dip it into. (He had a wicked sweet tooth) After gathering these items, he crawled into the back of the abandoned pharmacy to rest. There was a sign posted on the wall, which stated, "Consumption of food in this area, may cause madness, insomnia, or amnesia." Francis bit into his chocolate bar, and noticed himself starting to levitate. This effect seemed to wear off, after a few minutes. Francis noticed that the honey tasted like, the summer raindrops, he used to catch on his tongue. Francis soon noticed that his mouth, had become parched. He took a bag of grapes from the remains of a grocery store, and popped a couple into his mouth. He tasted a refreshing milk-like fluid in them. Francis became startled, as he peeled a banana, and it made a thunder-like noise. Francis became leery, as he passed by an orchard full of bouncing fruit. He caught a peach, shrugged his shoulders, and bit into it. It tasted like rice cakes. Francis relaxed under the shade of a fifteen foot mushroom, and enjoyed a piece of glittery fruit. © 2014 Stephanie M |
