Loss of Memory (Rewritten)

I wake up in my bed, and the sun flows through curtains to my eyes, I don't feel the sun in my eyes, I didn't feel anything. Infact I felt weightless. My throat burned like a dessert, I figured my weightlessness was a Side effect of my near dehydration. I felt like I was a zombies I dragged my feet to the kitchen and flipped the sink on and chugged the water straight from the sink until I felt like an inflated balloon and wiped the water from my lips on my sweatshirt sleeve and continue my "limp" across the house. I couldn't see anyone, my wife was gone, even my dog was gone.

My wife must have taken him to the park it wasn't uncommon for her to do this. I could see her and my beautiful Golden Retriever running in the park. I sat on the couch and thought about my dream. I still felt like crap, maybe I have the flu, maybe I was dieing. I always questioned if the flu was worse than it seemed. I closed my eyes and jumped up in a scream. An image of a arm burnt to a crisp flashed in my head. I was delirious, I shook my head and rubbed my eyes to shake this feeling away from me. I was disturbed at myself. I drag my feet off the couch and walk at a slow pace to the bathroom.

I flip on think sink and splash my face with water, I look into the mirror and see myself. My beard grew out to more than stubble and my eyes were crusted together and my hair a rat's nest. The more water I splashed on my face the more dead I felt. I looked into the mirror again and remembered shaving the other day, how long was I asleep I started to question. I reach into my pocket and grap my phone. It was March, 21. I had been asleep for a week! How was I alive?! I remember on March,14 I had a busy day at work and I ussualy sleep in until four in the afternoon, but a week is crazy. Something had to be wrong. I dialed my girlfriends number on my phone. It rung and went to a message saying her phone has been disconnected. This was not like her, she was always on her phone and always answered the second you called her. I was scared where is she, I decided the best idea was to see if my neighbor had seen her. I was feeling like crap so I said "Fuck my hair" and threw a black and grey army hat on.

I was gaining my leg strength back and was walking at my normal speed. It was a crappy day out the grey sky taunting my already grey day. I arrived at my neighbor Coopers house. I knocked once and I heard his little puppy yapping and running towards the door and me. I knocked one more time and was only greeted by his puppy but no Cooper. I walked around and look in the windows his house was clean everything in place, but I didn't see him. I didn't know my other neighbors and their house had a wall of trees covering the view of my house. So they had no way of knowing or seeing where she went. I decided to call Cooper. It rang but again, his phone was disconnected.

I started to think of what could have happend, there was obviously no robbery. Everything that was worth stealing in my house was still there, my TV, Computer, Playstation. I didn't know what to do, if I called 911 I would sound like a nut job describing this situation. I had a feeling if I tried calling anyone else I had a feeling their phones are disconnected too. My car was still in my driveway. It was intact no parts missing. I decided it would be a good idea to take a ride around town to ask people at a few of wife's favorite places if they have seen her. It was about a five minute drive into town. The only thing that I could see was a pair of cars collided in the street. I was weirded out but decided to give it a look to see if anyone needed help. I pulled up next to them and heard moaning, someone was alive. I jogged over to the car that was the most damaged. The car was dented everywhere. It look like it was hit by a semi, not by a fellow car

I pryed open the door. Three people laid seemingly dead in the car. Two adults in the front and a small child in the back. My eyes were glued to the family. I looked around, screamed for help. Screamed louder until I felt like my vocal cords snapped. Thats when I felt it. The worst pain I ever felt, it was in my foot, I saw blood ushing from my foot. What did this, I franticly thought. That's when I saw it. The creature underneath the car, the first thing I saw was burnt arms, then golden brown hair, then the familiar Northern University sweatshirt. My wife she was burnt to a crisp and screaming and chopping her almost disconnected jaw. I backed away ignoring the pain in my foot. The other car in the crash was my girlfriends car. Should I help or run, she was my wife but she bit threw my shoe and my foot. She was crazy or something, I saw her move swiftly from the belly of the car. Got up and sprinted towards me, swinging her burnt arms. I limp ran to my car ignoring the blood pouring from my foot. I hopped in my car and turned the keys and tried taking off but I was so nervous and my foot hurt ( the car is stick shift) that I stalled it. It started right back up but my "girlfriend" caught up and jumped on the back of my car, she pounded the windshield and I hit the top speed of my car and whipped into reverse and purposly driving through the front window of a grocery store.

My "girlfriends" body flew through the glass and through multiple shelves. I rubbed my neck trying to recover from my major whiplash I just experienced. I limp over the broken glass and miscellaneous of items over to her body. I didn't want to do it, but I had to. I lifted my uninjured foot and smashed it to the ground. The crunching sound of my loved ones skull cracking I had to do it. I sobbed realizing what I just did I killed the woman I shared everything with,  I laughed with her, I kissed her. I limped and sobbed around the grocery store. It was empty, but not in order like Cooper's house, carts stood full of food, the Tv's still on. I looked up at the Tv. It said "Infection spreading through U.S citys take shelter, the disease is sp
