Horror Fan Fiction / Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Reality Does Not Exist ❯ The Train ( Chapter 1 )

Reality Does Not Exist -
It all started with the train, the train that never braked at a single stop as our destination might never be reached. The train cars stretched back as far as the eye could see into the distance, melting into the orange and yellow sunset at the horizon. I wanted to watch that horizon for a while longer, a lot longer but I knew I could not put off my mission so I pushed myself off the side of the train cars wall and its window to look around. Noticing not many stood in this room and all those that did were already dead, infected with this mindless corpse leaving virus. I brought the knife in my hand to rest against my jeans and let out a sigh as I thought about the endless amount of bodies lined up down the train’s center from the next cart to the first...my destination. A destination that would never be reached...
Walking towards the first mindless ex-human I grasp its arm before bringing the knife I held up to its neck and making a quick slashing movement  I watch with lack of fascination as the head rolls around at my feet on the floor before coming to a stop and it's body slumps motionless to the ground with it. Now I know in theory that a knife would probably not be enough to take someone’s head off especially not in one go like I achieved but this is not a real world...this is a world based on dreams and nightmares. Mostly nightmares at this point but a world none the less and one I was forced into, reality did not exist here and neither did the laws of logic as I had quickly found out some time ago. As I stared at the lifeless form on the floor I idled over the idea of giving up and letting what was going to happen just happen but then I might become one of them and that was not one of my aspirations.
So with another burdened sigh I grasped my silver handled knife tighter and set about decapitating the rest of the bodies in the room before making my way into the next carriage. The first zombie like creature in the next cart was barely a teen and I hesitated causing me to not cut all the way through and have to give another hack at the flesh. I would have vomited had my body been capable of such in this abnormal world, this time he was defiantly dead I noted as yet another head was left at my feet and moved onto the next body. I made my way through two train cars full of them some with a flush of life through them still but with cuts to their neck making them half mindless and already on the way to undead I had to kill them or this would all happen again.
When I came to a girl about my age but with tears steadily sliding down her face I paused, she had a gash along her neck and her skin was not yet pale but I could see she already couldn't move and was quickly losing the ability to even think so with a scowl I brought the knife to her neck and covered her open eyes with my free hand before I brought her life that had already been wilting away to an end.
Several more train cars and you would think my body would be tired and that I would be nauseous with the blood coating my skin and the river of dead bodies behind me would have brought about madness and caused me to become unhinged but I was steady and not unnerved in the slightest. I looked ahead to see if my goal was in sight but all I saw was lines of bodies packed into a queue like sardines in a can and no end in sight. 'Damn it' I thought as I crossed my arms over my chest being careful not to stab or nick myself in the process with my knife. Irritation was my main emotion right now as I realized perhaps this was hell and I would never be done, that this could be my punishment for eternity and I'd never be free of this corpse train. Unfolding my arm's I marched forward deciding I was not just going to give up and let whatever force or being that created this world just win. Even as I slaughtered my way through the masses of bodies I felt that there was a calm place in the deep recesses of my mind that had a body less room at the front of the train with a beautiful sunset shining through a large window and with a banquet of food awaiting a conquering hero.
