The sad zombie
The following story that I bring you next, is not just any story, nor is it that typical terrifying story of zombies that devour people alive, although in it they do. It is rather the story of one of them, the one who was the most romantic, graceful and happy of them all, it is about Eliecer, if this zombie has a name.
It all started that Sunday morning, he had come to spend the most wonderful evening of his entire life, with the most beautiful and intelligent girl in the university. It was their second date and after a beautiful dinner in a cabin rented by a friend, (it was the only thing that her pocket allowed but that she did not care about), she just wanted to be with him, and he with her, they knew they had found his soul mate.
They met entering the university, he looked at her, walking towards him, chased by the gaze of every student who saw her, since her big brown eyes, and a body that seemed drawn by Aphrodite herself, were not very common in a university where for a strange reason they were all white or redheaded, and when she passed in front of him, he ignored her while thinking: "if I do the same as the others, the result will be the same", so he turned to his locker and He continued searching, who knows what, while that pretty girl passed through the hall dragging her gaze from every student who saw her, even some of the girls were attracted to her.
After that, she fell in love with him, he thought: why everyone except him? That he will believe this "Nerd". He wondered, and so a few days passed until she approached him saying: "I'm Natasha" and he just answered: "Let's have dinner, I want to meet you." So he took her at sunset to a nearby cabin belonging to his friend Leonel, who lent him the place, for just a few coins, although for him, after all, money is just an accessory, something unimportant.

After that first dinner they understood that they were for each other, so they met again in that same cabin the next day, they had dinner the same as the night before, and he accompanied her to her residence, there they said goodbye with a simple kiss on the cheek, when suddenly, she returned, throwing herself into his arms and bringing her lips together in a kiss that took him out of this world, fleeing again into the room, leaving him there, prey to a crush on his soul, of all his being.
He continued on his way to his residence on the other side of the campus, with a smile drawn on his face, that whoever saw him would think that he was under the influence of some hallucinogen of those that consumes our youth, for not knowing the true pleasures of life .
That night he could not sleep, the next day they would have that guided visit to the library of the capitol, and when they left, she would be his, everything was already written, and his innocence was drawn in his mind, losing himself in youthful love, with the most beautiful creature, beautiful that his eyes had seen and his thoughts never dreamed of.
Dawn early, (although Eliecer thought that the night would never end), he put on his best outfit, and went to the bus, there he saw her again, she was with some companions, but he did not see anyone else, he greeted her shyly and went when she kissed him, in front of everyone, which showed him that what she felt was true, and even more true, that night would be for him .
They got on the bus and she sat next to him, she felt her body stick to him, he began to tremble and she could no longer speak, he only thought about that night, when they would finally be one, perfect night "just she and me".
Thus they reached the heart of that capital of the country, they got off in complete silence, in perfect order, the lady who would be their guide received them very kindly and began to tell the story of that old building.
It was then that everything happened, a terrible explosion was heard in the distance and then they saw how their last companions in the line were attacked by a stampede of people who came as possessed by something absolutely diabolical, and began to eat them alive, eating their brains and guts, in a creepy way, were Zombies. Faced with the situation, the few students who had managed to enter stood behind the door and began to fight with those beings that had a strength far superior to them, although after much struggling they managed to close it.
From the window they could see how a worker devoured the friendly guide, while they tried to regain their calm and think, how they were going to survive that situation. Leonel took the initiative and tried to put things in order, he said that he had already been there before and that he knew the place well, that they should stay together, until they went to save them.

It was not until that moment that he thought of her, he saw her lying in a corner trembling with fear, he approached, she ran towards him, hugged him and begged him to protect her, not to allow anything to happen to her, at that moment he did the noblest oath that any mortal had ever taken; "I swear to you in the name of love, which was born between the two of us, that I will never allow anything to happen to you and that we will leave here, together forever." From that moment they just had to wait for things to calm down outside, since surely the government would get them out of there.
That night they began to feel a knock on the door, and they began to push it in a way that, in an instant, Eliecer knew they would soon be able to enter, so he told Natasha that they should find a safe place, where to take shelter in case they managed to knock down the door.
He took her away in silence, while some survivors were positioning themselves behind the door preventing it from giving way. They entered the old library just at the moment when the old wooden portal fell and a second battle to survive began and they were almost entering, but in the last moment of closing the door, he saw a very familiar zombie pounce on him, It was Leonel, his only friend from college, so he took longer to respond, to react, although in the end he managed to shake him off by hitting him with an old piece of wood from one of the tables.
After that he entered closing the iron door of that old room behind him, there he understood everything, he knew that his great love, his date, and his life plans were fading in a hurry second; Leonel had bitten him.
After that, he clung to her hoping that for some miraculous effect, the transformation would not occur, but it did not happen, suddenly Eliecer stared at Natasha, with a look that began to dim, she saw how his beautiful eyes green that she liked so much, they became glassy and he began to see her differently. She was not scared, she just thought that if that was the way to surrender to him, to his great love, she would do it convinced that in the other life, she would meet her soul mate again, and it would only be part of the past, that what they would have to live in that instant in which he, instead of devouring her with caresses and kisses, would do so in the most horrendous way that he could have imagined.
So one, two, five minutes passed, and Eliecer only saw Natasha, in a way that instead of terror, only gave a feeling of peace, it was as if all the sadness in the world had been concentrated on that being, who no longer he was human, barely breathing and for some reason, just watching her silently.
Thus the night passed, in total silence, early, the zombies that had broken down the door and devoured their companions, observing the scene and as if they had understood the deep love that those two beings had for each other, they did not even try to penetrate that old grille, they just left.
That was the first time he moved, he got up, opened the gate and closed it behind him again, disappeared through the old wooden door, after a while he returned with some food and some blankets for Natasha, entered and after closing the door behind him, and give her what he had brought, he sat down to watch her, Natasha did not know how far that being could love her, how that feeling managed to transcend the force of that cursed plague, and continue to care for her even after death.
So some days passed, until Natasha, already on the verge of going crazy at that situation, took that first aid box and at the same time swallowed all the medicines that were inside. Leonel did not react, he only saw her die, then he took her body in her arms and leaned back from that old library, to observe, in silence, while her body was consumed at the same time as hers.
At the end of it all, when the survivors of the holocaust got the cure for that plague, and entered that old library, they only found those old bones, embraced, in absolute silence.
