Inside the gym

"I don't want to die. Let me out of here."

"Help me. Anyone. Please help me" a man battered the door in untidy clothes.

"It's no hope. Everyone will die here." a woman sat in the corner said.

It's full of chaos in here. While I pretended sleeping, I heard those muscle guys will take me to the food store. After they brutally threw me and slammed the door, I opened my eyes.

I don't see any food in here but only survivors in this place. And their sanity was dramatically horrible.

It's obvious that food is human's meat. I don't expect those friendly guy out there is actually cannibal.

"How disgusting" I murmured.

"Then those meat they gave me from the beginning is also human meat." I took the meat from my sleeve.

"Horrible" I tossed that meat.

I observed around and saw the journalist who was once in shopping mall here. I'm unable to restrain my happiness. I made a bee-line to her while being bound by the rope.

"Hello. Who are you." I asked her.

She looked absent mindedly at me for 2 minutes. Then she replied.

"Sarah."

"Yes. Sarah. Can you tell me the situation here?"

I asked her but I don't get any reply from her.

"I need you to stay calm here and here" I pointed at my head and my heart.

"It's useless. That woman is already broken." suddenly, a voice rang out behind me.

"What do you mean broken?" I turned back. It was a black skin man talked to me.

"When I arrived this place. She is already like this."

"Can you tell more? By the way, I'm Jean."

"I'm Billy. Then this is the story in this place."

"My story."

I listened to him like an obedient child listens before sleep.

"I also like you. Going this place with hope of seeking shelter. At the beginning, they are very friendly. They provide me food, drink, a place to sleep. They appeared to be a good guy. Sympathizing me like others. Who know they are demon in human skin. After I slept, they secretly imprisoned me in this so called food store. Day by day, they chop human part to eat. Satisfy their hunger" he showed me his chopped arm.

"I also a victim like other. Seeking hope in desperate and in the end receiving another nightmare. Don't know when this nightmare end."

"I witnessed her breaking down like others."

"If that so. Can you tell me who is the person last this place longest?" I tried to unbind the rope.

"Let me ask Kayamoto. Hey you." he shouted to the person lying in the corner.

"Can you hear me?" no motion reacted.

"Oh he's dead. Just forgetting what I said" he looked at me even more despair. I rolled my eyes in front of this frightening scene.

"Okay. Do you have will in rebellion" I untied the rope and drew the gun to demonstrate for them.

"You have gun all the time. Why not shoot at them." an agitated guy shouted out.

"Yeah but I don't know them so how can I shoot them"

"Nonsense"

"Whatever. Now can we start a rebellion so that we can't become their dinner."

"It's useless. Die here and die outside. What is the difference?" a teenager said. Making everyone hesitation.

"What do you mean?" Billy asked

"Here. We will be eaten by those guys. Out there, we will be eaten by monster."

The atmosphere became hard to breath.

"Here guys. There will be a rescue from military at Shintoko third elementary school. If we go there, we can be saved."

"Is that real?"

"Yes. I heard it from radio. That's why I'm moving out."

Those people's eyes started to shine abnormally.

"What can you do with this door? It blocked from outside." an old man asked.

"Just blast the door and go outside. I believe if everyone do it together, the door will open. They believe us weak so they don't barricade the door tightly."

After reaching mutual consent, we slammed the door together. The sound of freedom is coming very near to everyone. I can hear something fall on the other side.

"One more time"

They slammed the more fiercer than before. Finally, the door was blown open.

"Freedom" they simultaneously shouted.

"Not so fast." a strange voice interfered.

A group of muscular man blocked our road.

My side looked at them in fear. Just like how they see zombie.

"Let's be quick. You let us out and we will ignore all this" I raised the muzzle at them. After seeing the gun, they showed hesitation.

"Trust me. You will regret if you say no" I laughed inwardly.

"What if it is the fake gun?" someone murmured behind.

*Bang*

"Not a fake gun. My patient is limited so hurry up and open the path." I expressed angry.

They immediately moved aside.

"That's better." I heaved a sign of relief.

People from behind me started to move hurriedly. They saw freedom before their eyes.

"Not so fast"

"It's Thomas Fury. We're saved" those muscular guys yelled in triumphant tone.

"It can't be really him." I heard the murmur from behind. They stopped running.

I grasped the nearest person to ask.

"Who is he"

"You don't know him. He is the world best human that overcome human limit. He appears a lot in TV shows and newspaper. He is written into the world most achievement by blocking bullet with his body alone." He stammered. I still grasped most of idea what he want to say.

"Block bullet with body. Who is this superman. Never mind." I cocked the gun.

"Hey Thomas. Step aside and I don't care if you eat human."

"No no no. I don't allow that. You should be honored to be our meal."

"How the hell? Is your head lost something why you talk like a bullshit man?" I ridiculed their IQ in this time.

"It's that you don't understand. As soon as the power was cut, I realized the potential of human meat. By eating the weak, I can grow stronger." he said.

"Yo, you are completely crazy now."

"I'm the strongest human at the moment. No one can wound me." he showed off his muscle which scared people from behind me.

"How strong is your body?" I asked

"Stronger than the steel. Stronger than the diamond"

"Demonstrate" I fired at him.

5 bullet were shot instantly. I smiled at his stupid but the result gave a slap to me.

*bonk bonk* 5 bullets bounced back. It didn't leave a wound on his body. Just a little scratch.

"I guessed it's my turn" he said and charged at me.

"Unscientific" I exclaimed.

I felt a searing pain on my stomach. Indeed, he punched me in the stomach which sent me flying. I slammed into the weight lifting equipment.

"This is … illegal" I struggled to stand up. I tried to catch my breath back.

"It's obvious that you can't do anything to me. Why don't you surrender and let me eat you personally tonight."

"Hell no. I'm not done with this" I reached for second mag from my shoes.

"Ready for second round." he said.

"I'm born ready." I fired at him again.
