This is the beginning of a story I have been thinking of writing, Based off a conversation I had with a complete stranger one night at a bar about zombies and vampires.Yea i know what a conversation to have with a stranger.
Preface
20 years ago it was never like this, Human’s were the dominant species on the planet and these “Immortals†were just in story books. No one ever thought they could exist and now it’s a rarity to even come across a normal Human being. You begin to wonder how it all came to be and where it is going.
“Excuse me sir would you like another cup of coffee†The waitress asked. Yea sure why not
Damn Vamp’s…I hope she doesn’t try to feed on me. Now Humans have to be licensed to even be alive and not some part of a Vampire experiment these days…Luckily I was granted a pass for what I did for them. Now the world’s governments are controlled by the Immortals and the human race is farmed like cattle alongside …well cattle. We are a dyeing race that soon will be exterminated
“Here you go sir†came from the harsh voiced waitress. Yea thanks for that…Is there poison in it?
“I would never do a thing; if I wanted to I would just shred your worthless human body apartâ€
Gee thanks for the insight
Damn immortals…they are everywhere in all shapes and sizes from Vampires, Werewolves, and witches. And some of the Humans were around all those years ago and if it weren’t for those damn Vampire researchers doing their experiments on Humans trying to become more human like none of this would have happened.
“Hello stranger†a young woman so gently said
Hello Selma. How are you doing this frightful night
Selma was 17 year’s old that looked at Zack as a big brother sort of. He saved her from a werewolf attack when she was 14 and she has always been thankful of that as well as getting her a Human pass so she could try to lead a somewhat normal human life.
“So what are you thinking about?â€
Who say’s that I am thinking?
“You have that concentration look on your face”
You know the past, present and future of this world as always
“Zack you shouldn’t hold such a grudge against your actions in the past. There was nothing you could have done to prevent what had happened. All you could have done was cope with itâ€
Yes I know Selma but it is hard not to if it were not for those damn experiments those Vamp’s were doing none of this would have happened. You know back then no one even knew they existed, except the major governments of the world.
“So tell me about what really happened all those years ago Zackâ€
I told you a dozen times already!
You already know that the Immortals were doing experiments on Humans and one went horribly wrong.
“Then What Happened†Selma so humbly asked
The fucking zombies Selma, the fucking zombies!!
Can we please not talk about it.
“Please Zack the past always seems to put you in a better mood when you get if off your chest. It seems we talk about this every six months or so. And I always see a little bit of happiness when you’re doneâ€
Fine then
About 20 years ago Vampires were experimenting on Humans trying to get some of their Human like attributes back , like being able to walk in broad daylight again. But no one ever knew they were doing this. I was living right down the street from here and sitting in this same coffee shop the day when it all happened, and our waitress was human not some damn smelly vampire. I was having a conversation with a beautiful co-worker on our lunch break
Zack paused for a minute and had the sensation that he was being watched, but by who?
“Go on†Selma so vigorously asked
Right, the shop was still in decent condition and the coffee was much better and didn’t taste like feces. I remember that breaking news coverage about dead bodies just coming back to life in England and thinking it was all just a big hoax. I remember the tone in the news anchors voice and it was one of fear and despair, she just couldn’t hide the reality of the situation.
