Tube Socks

A zombie epidemic was just beginning. There were a lot of people being quarantined by the government because they were suspected of being infected. One of them was Mark. I was sure that he wasn’t infected and that they had simply made a mistake because he was acting like a psychopath, as usual.

I found the cell they had locked him in and he looked fine. There were no visible marks indicating that he had been bitten by anything. He was speaking to me very strangely and smiling in a really mean way, but I thought he was kidding because I had seen him make that face so many time before. I unlocked the door and went in to help him escape. He started ripping at my clothes and saying really mean things to me and I realized that he was actually infected and trying to rape me.

I kept kicking until he let go of me, but he was laughing and telling me I looked ridiculous trying to get away. I was really pissed off because I felt stupid for trying to help him. He said now that the cell was unlocked, if I ran he would just come after me. I took off my socks, which happened to be really long, 70s style tube socks. One sock had blue stripes and the other had red stripes on top. I tore them into strips with my teeth while he was laughing. He was saying what an idiot I was for thinking I could tie up a zombie.

I told him to go fuck himself and that I was going to hog tie him as uncomfortably as possible just for being a dick. His physical state made him stretch like rubber and it was very difficult to get him into a position that was actually painful for him. He was still taunting me and telling me it wasn’t possible to hurt him, but eventually I decided he was lying and tied him up anyway. He said it wouldn’t take long to get himself untied. I told him I didn’t give a shit because all I wanted was a head start.
