Lazarus Rising

Prologue: "The Night Before"

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper.

-T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men"

"The night before the world came to an end I stayed up late, doing homework before going to bed and being unable to fall asleep."

The night before the world came to an end, the world went about its usual routine.

Z-Day, 1:23 PM

"We have to hurry," he shouts.

Moans rose around them as they ran on the rooftop of the school.

"They're surrounding us," she cries back.

"No shit," the third person shouts.

"Quick, we have to get up the stairs."

"AAAAAAAAH, let go of me, you piece of shit."

There arises the sound of something heavy and hard striking the head and breaking the skull. A muffled moan rose into the sky and then the thud of a body hitting the ground.

"Son of a bitch bit me."

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I mean, fuck, Mr. Sawatari bit me so I guess one more won't hurt."

"Let's just get going."

"Yeah, come on, I'll help you up."

"Thanks."

The moans rise into the sky. The boy turns around and sees his fellow classmates stumbling towards them.

"This is…this is so…FUCKED UP!" he screams.

The dead moan in agreement.

End of Prologue

A.N.: Well, I've officialy begun my little Bleach Horror Story. I pretty much got the idea to write this from watching the anime "Highschool of the Dead" and I purposefully left who the trio is ambiguous since that will be answered in the first official chapter.
