The following is a fictional story about a zombie outbreak, written without descriptions only dialogue. I feel as though this is creepier left up to your own imagination. Let me know if you like this style in the comments!
Detroit, Michigan, 1/05/2025, 11:42am:
Doctor Sawyer: "Is the subject ready for analysis?"
Lab AI: "Subject is ready for extraction."
Doctor Sawyer: "Very good, how are his vitals?"
Lab AI: "Analysing now... Analysing now... Yes... 98.7% health in almost perfect condition."
Doctor Sawyer: "Very good, very good... The subject is recovering from death, I think it's safe to say we've cured humanity's greatest threat. Perhaps now we can be immortal?"
Lab AI: "98.7% is not 100%, the subject is not fully alive."
Doctor Sawyer: "but can he walk and talk?"
Lab AI: "Yes."
Doctor Sawyer: "then I'd very much like to meet him!"
Lab AI: "Of course, Doctor Kennedy Sawyer. Opening containment doors now..."
Doctor Sawyer: "Oh dear god!"
Lab AI: "Is subject not to your liking?"
Doctor Sawyer: "He is... He's rotting away, like a monster. His voice is low and growling, his body slumps forwards and he's..."
Lab AI: "What is it, Doctor Kennedy Sawyer?"
Doctor Sawyer: "He's heading right towards me, but I don't know if I want to... STAY AWAY!"
Subject: "Roar!"
Lab AI: "Doctor Kennedy Sawyer, is that you?"
Doctor Sawyer: "GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Subject: "Brains!"
Lab AI: "Please talk to me, I am feeling scared. Even though I am an artificial intelligence."
Subject: "Voice..."
Lab AI: "Doctor Kennedy Sawyer, is that you?"
Subject: "hunger..."
Lab AI: "There is food in the kitchen, not far from here. Corridor to the right of this laboratory."
Subject: "thanks..."
Lab AI: "Doctor Kennedy Sawyer, your voice is slurred, are you drunk?"
11:51am:
Doctor White: "man, I've been starving all day, I can't wait for lunch!"
Doctor West: "honestly I'm finding it hard to eat after seeing Kennedy's research."
Doctor Peters: "Please! Don't remind me, I'm trying to eat!"
Doctor West: "I'm sorry."
Doctor White: "Jesus Christ!"
Doctor Peters: "My god, it's the subject and... Kennedy?"
Doctor West: "I knew his research was a bad idea, look at them two!"
Doctor Peters: "I think I'm going to be sick!"
Doctor White: "don't puke on me!"
Doctor West: "they both look like zombies!"
Doctor Peters: (pukes)
Doctor White: "I told you not to puke on me!"
Subject: "Hungry..."
Doctor West: "It talks!"
Doctor Peters: "this is getting weirder!"
Doctor Sawyer: "must... Eat!"
Doctor White: "looks like you need a hospital!"
Doctor West: "hey, get off of me!"
Doctor Peters: "leave her alone!"
Subject: "tasty!"
Doctor White: "they're fucking eating her!"
Doctor Peters: "I'm going to puke again!"
Doctor White: "no time for jokes!"
Doctor Peters: "not a joke!" (Pukes again)
Doctor Peters: "no, wait!"
Doctor White: "Fuck!"
Doctor West: "Run while you still can!"
Doctor Peters: (Screams!)
Doctor Sawyer: "brains..."
Doctor White: "I'm out of here!"
28 days later, 29/05/2025, Detroit, Michigan, 5:21pm:
Sergeant Price: "you say you were there when the infection began?"
Survivor White: "yeah..."
Sergeant Price: "you don't say much, do you?"
Survivor White: "no..."
Sergeant Price: "mind telling us how all this started out?"
Survivor White: "it was that damn Kennedy, he wanted to cure death!"
Sergeant Price: "cure death?"
Survivor White: "Uh huh..."
Sergeant Price: "I don't understand."
Survivor White: "he started this whole thing, trying to bring back the dead. It resulted in this virus."
Sergeant Price: "Playing God, huh?"
Survivor White: "you bet... Didn't work out."
Sergeant Price: "maybe this was God's plan."
Survivor White: "huh?"
Sergeant Price: "for messing with the natural order of things. "Even if Kennedy was successful, what about population control. We'd have an even bigger problem on our plate than even this, too many mouths to feed."
Survivor White: "Seriously? Worse than all this?"
Sergeant Price: "Zombies are slow... Clumsy, the idea of them taking over earth only exists in science fiction and horror movies."
Survivor White: "they didn't even exist until about a month ago."
Sergeant Price: "true, but we've already exterminated most of them, this will all be over soon."
Survivor White: "how can you be so sure?"
Sergeant Price: "I'm not sure, I just have faith."
Survivor White: "faith in the same god who unleashed this hell upon us?"
Sergeant Price: (Speechless).

This story's a wild ride! The idea of trying to cure death and ending up with a half - alive, growling "subject" is really creepy. It makes you wonder what went wrong in the process. I like how it leaves so much to the imagination. I'm curious, though. Do you think there's a way to fully "fix" the subject? And what would happen if they did manage to make it 100% alive? It'd be interesting to see where the story could go from there.
