Short story

It's not the zombie apocalypse, it's something much worse.

I'm a newbie doctor for a hospital and when I came in this morning, some of the nurses and doctors have turned into zombies. Also some of the visitors to the hospital, who were visiting sick relatives, had also turned into zombies. Then a man visiting a sick relative, he hands me a motorbike helmet and he asks me nicely whether he could leave the motorbike helmet at the reception for a couple of hours, and I allowed it. I couldn't believe that some of the doctors, nurses and everyday people have turned into zombies. I grabbed a pen and I started stabbing some of the nurses that had turned into a zombie. I started running all over the hospital.

Then I met a surgeon who wasn't a zombie and he told me that a patient of his that he had operated on, their head had been decapitated. He wanted to help me find the head and he was scared that people were going to think that it was him that did it. I was concerned as he wasn't concerned about how some of the doctors, nurses and people in general had turned into zombies. It's a super large hospital and so many things could happen and go wrong. I tried to ignore some of the zombies that I was seeing in the hospital.

I just wanted to search for the patients missing head and it was a great distraction. I went to the patient whose head was missing, it was a strange look. The headless patent looked like they were at peace, and then I saw a zombie nurse coming towards me and then I stabbed them with a pen. I was freaking out and then in the middle of my freak out, I finally knew where the patients missing head was. A realisation had hit me and I went to the reception, and when I looked inside the motor bike helmet, the patients decapitated head was inside the motorbike helmet.

I guess I was panicking and I couldn't hear anyone or notice anything, out of instinct I was stabbing zombie doctors and nurses. Then the security guard pins me to the ground and he is shouting at me. I shout back at the security guard "some of the doctors and nurses are zombies!"

Then the security guard shouts back "they are not zombies! They have just completed the night shift and so they look like zombies. Also some people have been waiting in the waiting area all night, waiting to be seen by a doctor or they are waiting for a sick relative to come out of an operation!"

I couldn't believe it. What have I done.
