28 Days Later
Chapter 1 Awakening
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Crap! I'm going to be late!" I said to myself, running across the street, ignoring the crossway streetlight(which was signaled red for ponies to wait for the roads to cross). I heard a sound and turned my head to the right, only to find a car rushing towards me! The driver had no control of his or her car! The car rammed me and I went flying to the ground. I could feel my heart giving up.
"...You'll do..." I heard a pony say before passing out.
I woke up in a capsule as I heard its opening sounds. "Where....am I?....Who am I...?" I asked myself as I stepped out of the capsule. I couldn't remember anything of my past. "And why....do I have this feeling....that I'm not supposed to be here....?" I asked myself as I walked through a hallway. At the end of the hallway, I saw a clipboard and I picked it up, hoping there were answers to my questions. And sure enough, there was! "DNESF Subject #5067.... He was originally going to die due to a car accident, but one of our scientists, Dr. Rizen, managed to revive him. His other subjects have all been killed in his experiments unlike this one." I read. I let go of the clipboard and I walked through the facility. Finally, I found a door and as I opened the door, I was shocked! I couldn't believe what I saw! It was a wasteland outside...All the plants were dead....All the buildings were ruined...All besides this facility. I walked and saw a sign, showing the name of the facility. "Death Negating Equestria Science Facility....Or also known as: The DNESF..."I read. I walked away from the facility until I found something that caught my eye! A dark, fur-less, total-black-eyed pony. I slowly itched my way towards the pony, making sure to keep my distance at the same time, and asked it "U-Um....H-Hello...Do you know what happened?". The pony turned around with only its head, then with its body and started running towards me. I started running away from it, hearing its cry. I found a shovel on the ground and picked it up. I slammed its head, making it to fall down on the ground and I slammed the shovel on its head, causing it to split. "What...was that...?" I asked myself, gasping for air.
As I kept walking, I kept asking myself "Where the hell is everypony....Or have they turned into that thing?". Finally, after five hours of wandering around the city, I hear a faint cry. As I rushed to the faint cry, I saw a pony and it wasn't that Zombie-pony! It looked like a blue-furred, green-eyed, and yellow-maned filly! There was a piece of gravel on him. "Help!....Please...." The filly cried out. I walked towards the filly and when he saw me, his saddened expression turned into a scared expression. "Y-You! Stay away!" The filly shouted in terror. "Not to worry young filly....I'm here to help." I responded as I took the piece of gravel on the filly with two hooves. It took me a lot of strength to pull the gravel off of the filly but I managed to take it off. As the filly walked out of the gravel, he asked me "Why'd you save me?". " I saved you because it's what I thought was right to do and because I need to know why the world is like this." I answered. As soon as I answered the filly's question, more zombie-ponies came and surrounded us. "Great...More of these...Ugh...I should've brought a weapon!" The filly said. "Here." I said as I gave the filly my shovel. "Why are you giving me this? What if I backstab you with your own weapon?" The filly asked as he grabbed my shovel. "I'm giving you this so then we both survive and I trust you with it." I answered, pulling out a pistol I found in one of the buildings I searched. "Get ready!" I said to the filly as I reloaded the pistol.
After we defeated the zombie-ponies, we laid on the ground, tired. However, when I looked at the filly, he was breathing less! It was because the filly's mask was running out of air! "Shit! I didn't even notice his gas mask! Gah! I need to find a new one!" I said as I quickly got up and rushed towards a field and found a new one with a good air quantity inside it. "That'll do!" I said and rushed towards the filly, took off his old mask, and had him wear the new one. "Alright...His breathing is back to normal!" I said "Crap... It's turning into night....And I'm almost sure that those damned zombie-ponies are worse in the night.". I took the filly and put him on my back and started running towards a barn...
"Ugh....Where am I?" The filly asked as he woke up. "You're in a barn." I responded. "What...happened?" The filly asked. "I realized your gas mask was running out of air, so I found a new one and you're now wearing that one. After that, I carried you here because I would guess that the Zombie-ponies would be more annoying in the night than they are in the day." I answered "Now...My turn to ask you a question. What the hell happened?". "...There was this car accident...then...a random scientist picked up the dead pony's body and went to his facility" The filly responded "Then after a couple of days later...There were ponies that started acting weird....Like...They would lose their fur and their body would turn black....Finally...Their eyes and mouth would be pitch-black...More and more ponies turned into those things... And then 28 days later after that car accident, we're here.". "I see..." I responded. "God damn....I can't believe that this happened...So I was asleep for 28 days...How....?!" I thought "How could all this happen in 28 days.....?".
