Chapter 1
Disaster


Everything starts in different ways. The stories of zombies, however, always start the same way. It is always some infectious disease that is supposed to help people by reanimating dead cells, making the people stay alive longer and feel younger, but it never works out that way. It always makes the people die, then come back and crave flesh. Those poor, poor scientists…

The place this story takes place is a large town called Everfrost. It was large enough to be a city, but no one called it one. The people that lived there loved their town all the same. The one thing Everfrost had that no other town had was a science institute with one or two of the world’s smartest scientists. That institute is where the story both begins and will end.

I worked at the institute as a newly appointed scientist. I was responsible with the animal testing. That is how everything gets tested first. The first prototype of the serum that was to reanimate the cells for longer life was near completion. I was the one to test it on some poor, helpless rabbit that was twelve years old. The rabbit was old, fragile, and could die anytime of the month, even that very day it could die.

It was thirty-eight hours after I got the job that the serum was finished. Everything was ready for testing. Everyone said that if they messed up in it, they would be out millions of dollars. The serum was given to me and I readied myself to poke the rabbit with the needle. The things I had to do were simple: inject the serum, wait, inject the anti-serum to stabilize the serum, watch the bunny act like it was two years old again. It was simple to understand, right?

I flicked the needle and injected the serum in the rabbit. I waited about ten seconds and did the same with the anti-serum. Everyone in the room watched the rabbit as I backed away incase something went wrong and the rabbit would explode. Nothing happened at all. The rabbit just sat there.

Everyone sighed and walked out of the room. I thought about one thing and went to ask the creator of the serum about it.

“Dr. Winters,” I asked, when I found him, “What would happen if you don’t add in the anti-serum or injected less? I think that it completely neutralized the effects of the serum.”

He looked at me. “I don’t know,” he said, “I guess we could see what happens.” He pushed a button on the wall. “Everyone back to the Testing Room,” he said into a microphone, also on the wall, “We are trying a new approach in the testing of the Ukata Serum. I will be in my office if anything happens this time.”

So they called it the Ukata Serum. I wonder where he got that name for it. I walked back to the Testing Room and all of the other scientists followed, very confused.

Yet again, I flicked the needle of the Ukata Serum and injected it into the rabbit. I backed away to give it some air, but as soon as I backed up, the others crowded around it. I could still see the rabbit perfectly. I watched it as the others did, but from a far distance. Then, the rabbit started to shake. Everyone was murmuring as it flopped over, motionless.

“It must have been the serum,” one scientist said.

“You fool,” another said, “The rabbit was old.”

Everyone was yelling at each other about how the rabbit died that they didn’t notice it get back up. I noticed though. I backed away more because the rabbit had blood coming out of its mouth, its eyes were turning pale, and its fur was falling out fast.

“Um…guys?” I asked, “Is that safe?” I pointed at the rabbit.

Everyone turned to the rabbit, just as it leapt at the closest scientist. The rabbit dug its teeth into the scientist’s nose and pulled of a chunk of it. She screamed and put her sleeve over her half of a nose. This wasn’t going right. The rabbit was changed! It was a monster!

Everyone ran out of the room with the rabbit following them. I went out of the other door, towards Dr. Winters’ office. I pushed open the door, only to see that Dr. Winters was gone. Something was going on. That rabbit had to be stopped.

The security guards that were chasing after the rabbit were now being chased by it. Two of the guards lied dead in a hallway, chewed to death. I grabbed one of the forty-five caliber pistols off of the one less mangled. If it came to me grabbing a gun, it wouldn’t end well. I just turned the corner when I saw another scientist get attacked by the rabbit.

I took aim at it. It was hard to see it because it was covered in blood, and the scientist being attacked was now covered in his own blood. I just took a relaxing breath, aimed again, and took the shot. I undoubtedly didn’t hit the rabbit, because the scientist fell over and then the rabbit went after me. Not the best plan in the world, but it was all I had. I looked at the rabbit and shot again. I hit its left back leg but that didn’t do much but slow it down. I ran to the end of the hall I was in now, turned around, and waited for a point-blank shot. It wasn’t the smartest thing to do, because if I missed or wasn’t fast enough, I would be dead.

Just as planned, the rabbit leapt at me. I raised the forty-five caliber pistol and shot my third round. The round went clean through the rabbit’s small head, leaving almost nothing of it. I sighed, and turned towards the front entrance.

Whatever happened now didn’t concern me. I created a monster. I silenced it. I didn’t need to do anything else now.

Oh, how very wrong I was.

I didn’t know what I had just done. The Ukata Serum passed through the rabbit’s teeth and into the victims of its undead rage. I didn’t know this until the next day.

I walked in my house and my girlfriend was there. How she got in, I don’t know or really care. It was what she asked me that I cared.

“The news said something happened at your work,” she said, “What happened?”

I told her what happened. I told her about the failed test, then the transformation of the rabbit, the dead guards, the dead scientists, and then I told her about how I took care the rabbit. She was scared by the time I finished telling her all of this. She was crying in fear that I could have been killed. I put my arm around her and petted her curly, red hair.

“It’s ok, Terra,” I said, “It’s ok. I knew the risks, and I took them to save an entire institute from a monster. I’m still alive and here for you.” She slightly calmed down.

“But,” Terra asked, “what about the people who were still alive? What will they do now?”

“I don’t know. But I know one thing. If this virus, as I call it now, was to be put into the wrong hands, this would get very hectic.”

“I’m scared, Dante.”

“You aren’t the only one…”

I still had no idea then about the lurking evil at the institute. I still had no idea about the other monsters that were coming to live at that very moment. I still had no idea about why the virus was really made, and no idea why Dr. Winters made an escape just when I injected the rabbit with the virus. But, you can’t know everything, especially after something like that freaking monster.


And so here ends the first chapter of Statistic Attack: Resurrection. If you would like to read more, just tell me and I will work on getting the next chapter posted in just a few hours. Minutes for the next three chapters.

I do admit while some scenes look a bit awkward in dialogue, you've done a great job at writing this, and I await more with bated breath. 8.90/10
