A Journey Into The Unknown by Angel (carter reed .txt) 📖

view. What happened next made me question everything including my own sanity. As soon as the zombie came into view something swooped down from the sky and grabbed it. It was something huge, and made me question everything. I shook my head to rid it of all the questions streaming through it and started walking again. I kept telling myself that I had to keep moving.

I had been walking for what had to have been several hours and I could barely drag my feet. I had no idea how long it had actually had been though, since I had a lousy sense of time. I couldn't tell if the sun was out or not all I could see was this thick orange fog. Which seemed to cling to everything. I forced myself to keep moving until I cam upon this house that had to sit out to itself, because I hadn't come across any others. That I knew of anyways, but I couldn't be sure with the way the dense fog clung to everything.

I walked up to the front door and pushed it open with my foot listening for any movement from within. Since I didn't hear anything I stepped inside and carefully closed the door behind me. I walked through the house checking every closet and room as I came across them. I had grown confident that I was alone and safe until I reached the living room. At first I thought it was butterflies, but then I asked myself how many butterflies I had seen that glittered and sparkled. Then I thought of fairies, but quickly reminded myself that fairies didn't exist. Then the thought came across that neither did zombies, but I had faught them and was running from them. Figuring that I had nothing to lose I proceeded into the room with the fairies or butterflies, or whatever they were.

Once I was inside the room all of them floated into the air and positioned themselves to surround me. I wasn't sure if they were going to attack or was just checking me out. Seeing as how I've always been the type of person to talk to myself or anything that would listen I decided to try to talk to them. The first thing that came out my mouth was, "I mean you no harm, I was just looking for a safe place to rest.".

These things seemed to understand me, because when I finished speaking they scattered. It seemed as if they took posts to protect me. There a few at every window and door. As if they could ward off anything that may come upon the house. Deep down I knew that the most they could do was maybe give me some kind of warning. I was too tired to mull it over any longer, so I leaned back against the wall and slid to the floor.

My dreams were no more than flashes of my memories of recent events. They were disturbing and tiresome. It seemed as if I was reliving the deaths of my children over and over, but no matter how much I wanted to I couldn't cry. I really wanted to take the time to ball my eyes out, but deep down I knew that there was no time for that now.Then the darkness finally consumed me.

I opened my eyes at the sound of a slamming door. I looked over to see the door beside me to see it swinging open and shut. I wiped my eyes so that I could focus, to see that the butterfly fairies were making the door open and close. As soon as I got to my feet the door swung open and they swarmed out of the room. Unsure of what they were doing I decided to follow them I decided to follow them. When I stepped out of the room I found them waiting. They darted towards a door at the back of the house. I had almost reached it when it flung open, As soon as I had stepped through it it closed behind me. I almost turned around and went back inside, but I figured I had out stayed my welcome with these beings. I decided it was best not to anger them in case I ever encountered them again.

Here I was again wandering aimlessly through the dense orange fog. I had been walking for a while, I figured that my safe house was long behind me by now. It was starting to concern me that I hadn't heard or seen anything, but I let out a sigh and continued on. I kept walking until my legs started to grow tired again.That's when I came across an old barn. It looked old, but everything looked as if it had aged in this haze. That's when I let the thought cross my mind if this cloud would ever lift or if it was here to stay. Shaking the thought from my head, I started towards the barn. By the way it looked all I could hope for is that it wouldn't collapse on me. I pulled the door open a little and peeked inside. It appeared to be empty, but I couldn't be sure. I slipped in through the cracked door and explored. Satisfied that I was still alone I pulled the door close and sat in the corner where I could keep an eye on the door. I sat there until my legs felt well rested and surprisingly nothing had come across my path. Since there was no way of knowing if it was day or night I figured it would make no difference if I headed out now, there was no reason to wait reguardless.

I pushed the door open a little and stuck my head out. Afterwards I thought about how stupid that was, if anyone had of been out there they could have took my head clean off. Thankfully I was completely alone. So out the door and around the barn I went. Taking each step carefully, who knew what I might encounter. There I went off into the orange haze again. This time I decided to push myself farther than I had been. This fog had to end somewhere, didn't it? As I began to grow weary I noticed that I hadn't came across another shelter yet, not since the barn. It seemed strange to me for some reason. I wanted to stop and sit for a while,but I didn't want to rest out here in the middle of nothing. Who knew what might walk up or swoop down from the sky. Besides I couldn't be the only survivor, there had to be someone else wandering aimlessly through this mess, just like me. Who knew how they would react if they came across me, everybody handles these things differently. So I made myself keep moving until I could find a safe place to rest.

I had pushed myself until I was starting to stumble. I knew I needed to stop and rest, but there was no way I was going to stop out in the open like this. What if someone came along always lingered in the back of my mind. So what on earth was i gonna do now, I can't go any further my legs won't let me. All I can do is stop and pray that nothing tries to kill me. I was just starting to feel a little better when I heard the moans again, and they were coming closer. I wondered if these were the same zombies, if they had been following me all this time. I quickly let that thought go and started running in the opposite direction, hoping to put some distance between them and me. I soon found out that there were more of these things lurking about when I came up on one. By the time I realized that it was one of them I heard a loud flapping sound, like a flag in a ninety mile an hour wind. Then the huge claws emerged and snatched the zombie up and I hit the ground. Once the sound of the flapping faded I got up and took off.
A Blue Sky

I was just about to give up on ever getting out of this fog when I found myself under a clear blue sky. I made sure to mark the way I had come by sticking the sword in the ground in front of me. Confident that I had marked the direction I had came I took a look around. The fog seemed to make a perfect circle around this place. I looked up to see a clear blue sky, how was this possible? I didn't have an answer however, I was thrilled to be out of that dense fog even though it was only a small area. Seeing how I could breathe fresh air here I decided it was time for a break. So I laid back on the grass and stared at the sky I had been missing. Being here gave me hope that there must be an end to this mess somewhere, hopefully.

I was starring at the sky when I saw a bird fly over. I thought about how free the animal must have felt being able to fly above the fog, then I guessed it must make it harder for the animal to find food. Lost in my thoughts I hadn't noticed the bird's return above me. Now it looked as if it was circling above me. After a closer look I realized that it was much higher than I originally thought. So therefore it must be bigger than I thought, much bigger. My thought was quickly proven as the thing started decending towards me, getting bigger by the second. It didn't take me long to figure out that I wanted nothing to do with whatever this thing was. I grabbed my sword and ran as fast as I could into the fog praying it wouldn't find me. I wasn't even sure what it was,it kind of looked like a dragon for a second, but I wasn't waiting around to find out.

When I finally had no choice but to slow to a walk I realized that I didn't know what direction I had ran back into the fog from. For all I knew I was headed back in the same direction from which I had came. It was too late to worry about that now. All I could do was keep moving and hope that I didn't wind up where I started from.

Thankfully I came across a grocery store, so I knew I was going in a different direction. Although I was edgy about going inside. It was a big place with who knew how many places to hide. And only God knew what kind of creatures would be waiting inside. I was tired and needed rest and maybe I would would luck up and find some food. So against my better judgement I headed inside. The smell almost
