The Zombie Tower

[Quick Summary: A girl's high school plan to clear a zombie-infested building.]

·

Having nightmares is normal, but having the same nightmare for several days in a row is not.

In the dormitory after lights out, Wang Ming groped around in the dark, found a pair of sharp scissors in her drawer, and went back to bed with them in hand.

When she opened her eyes again, Wang Ming was in a spacious elevator car, still clutching the scissors she had found before bed. The elevator stopped on the building's 99th floor and slowly opened its doors, revealing a horde of zombies in the hallway.

Rotting claws and bloody mouths surged toward her. All she could do was use the scissors in her hand to fight through the zombies on this floor, reach the elevator across the hall, and ride it down to the 98th floor, where she would face another endless horde.

She couldn't escape the dream until the morning bell rang. If she didn't want to be bitten to death, she had to grab anything within reach that could serve as a weapon and use it to protect herself. The brief intervals while the elevator was moving were her only chance to catch her breath.

She had been having this nightmare about the zombie building for several days straight. She had lost count of how many times she'd been bitten on the arm when the school's morning bell finally dragged her out of the nightmare. Wang Ming opened her eyes and looked at the arm the zombies had just been gnawing on in her dream.

A few inexplicable purple bruises had appeared there.
