I'm Sorry

I'm Sorry

A Chapter by Syaim Salleh (Syirzxing)
"

I had turned into those monsters, unaware. And I will come after you. Beware, sweethearts. I am sorry.

"

I was nervous as I went towards the door. My bloodied hands were cold. My stained shirt was drenched with sweat. Without noticing, I was already in front of the mahogany door. Slowly, I opened it. It creaked slightly upon the opening. Standing there were my parents. At least, their figures were my parents. I lifted my head only to watch the soulless eyes of theirs staring into mine. Pale, bruised and disgusting. That was all I could emphasize about their figures. 

"I am sorry", my voice crackled as I burst into tears. I aimed my gun straight at their heads. Bang! Their blood spluttered all over the room. Immediately, I fell onto my knees. I cried and cried until my last tear dropped.I could neither run nor hide from this calamity. What else should I do? Face it.

Ammo, checked. Guns, checked. Suits, checked. I peeked through the door, cleared. I then skipped towards the gate. Dead bodies occupied the ground. This killing spree could be the worst birthday party I've ever had. I lifted in my scruffy truck. The engine roared upon the ignition. Sweet little thing. I switched on the radio then steered the wheel to wherever. 

"The infections had affected some states. I demand the people of Malaysia to stay calm while we plan a solution. This situation is under control". Under control? Objections, Mr. Prime Minister. This situation is way too hideous to be under control. Annoyed, I switched off the radio.

I parked my truck at the nearest gas pump. I grasped my gun and reloaded the bullets in it. God, the heat slipped through my skin. I glanced around as I hurried my steps towards the convenience store. I seized a bit of snacks, biscuits and mineral water. I slipped some money at the payment counter. Honesty is the best policy, right? I proceeded to fill up my gas tank. Satisfied, I drove off to the main city, hoping for a miracle.

Main city, 7 am. 

My energy had been sapped throughout the lengthy driving. Nevertheless, I need to go the evacuation center. Curse it, the roads were congested. Abruptly, the crowds went hysterical. Pushing and shrieking all the way long. What now? I was too fatigued and sleepy for actions. Nonchalant of the situation, I burst opened the truck door and helped myself out from it. I must run too, I reflected to myself. Person by person went passed me. I was too exhausted; my feet might fall out sooner. 

Splash! My stomach burst opened. I glanced down with terror and my eyes captured the rotten hand struggling inside my tummy. Tears rolled down my cheeks. 

"Help me!" I bawled for my life. I wasn't supposed to die in vain like this. Help me, anybody, just lent me your hands. The rotten hand gleefully trailed up my body. It pulled my bones apart, cracking me open. My eyesight continued to fade away. I felt it. The parasites crawled towards my beating heart and mind, controlling me. Dead meat? Of course.

I had turned into those monsters, unaware. And I will come after you. Beware, sweethearts. I am sorry.

Its good for a first chapter. Mind if I point out a few things?
Well, first off, you could try making the language more simple, just tiny changes will do. For instance,

"I lifted my head only to watch the soulless eyes of theirs staring into mine."

To

"I lifted my head, only to see their soulless eyes staring back at mine" or something like that. It's not that the language is bad, It's just that if you go overboard with the exaggerations, you may end up confusing the readers.( only if you go overboard)

Then, there's this part I didn't quite understand.
"I lifted in the scruffy truck"
I don't get it. Well, the context describes what might have happened, so I'm not making trouble for you.

Overall, the story is eye catching and has a lot of potential. I guess you can say, "I'm looking forward to this". This is all just my review. The mistakes are few and are rather easy to deal with so it wont be that bad if you read it once over. That's all I have to say.

And by the way,

Thank you for the chapter.
