Blood of the Living Dead - Episode 3 'The People Who Eat People'

Episode 3 - The People Who Eat People

Jason and Kris get the jitters in their very first date inside the movie theater. He is just an 18-year-old kid in sophomore college and she, a year his junior. 

His hands tremble when he held Kris by her hand as he guides her inside the dark movie house. His heart pulsating at the very thought that at last, he and Kris will finally be alone just by themselves. He is now fantasizing kissing her on the lips, embracing her soft body --  and just maybe, if he gets lucky, he might have the chance to touch her intimately and caress her very youth. He can now feel his hardness about to burst out from down under.

Kris is expecting so much. She had heard stories of older friends sneaking their boyfriends inside their rooms when their parents are already asleep. They talk about French kisses and how their guys undress them to fondle their breasts. She hasn't tried any of those yet. She touched herself a couple of times but her friends always tell her it's much different with a real person -- how a warm hand feels when it explores your body. The thought gives her the tickles. She can feel her bosom getting wet with excitement. Her inner thighs shaking as they rub against soft skin beneath her.

They seated at the top balcony of the theater. Jason whispers to her ears. She did not understand a word he's saying but her excitement grew higher. She pressed Jason's hand as she felt it on top of her thigh, but the hand seemed to have eyes of its own as it slides under her skirt. She was gushing from her inside, her underwear moistened from her own excretions. The ticklish feeling made her press Jason's hand harder but her grip loosened when he started to roll his tongue on her neck. He was tasting her skin from her neck up to the top of her breast. Now on the loose, Jason's hand freely entered her, feeling her suppleness -- like a writhing snake inside a wet mound. She is almost fainting. She cannot hear anymore. The crescendo goes higher and higher. She will explode any time now.

"WHA-BOOM!"

The floor rocked from beneath Jason and Kris. Rubble fall and smoke billowed from above. Jason's hand suddenly releases from Kris' body. Her explosion did not come, but in its place, another kind appeared. She opened her eyes and she saw people running wildly, screaming. Jason took her by the hand and pulled her from her seat. Standing up, she sees Jason trying to bring her to a door flashing a "FIRE EXIT" sign.

Its doors flung open. Jason and Kris ran down the staircase past smoke and fire. Scores of people are also running down the stairs. Kris is getting scared. But she is with Jason, she knows he will take care of her.

Then, people stopped running. They seem to freeze suddenly. People downstairs begin to run upwards, screaming loud. Why? She cannot understand. There has been an explosion from where they come from and yet these people want to go up.

STAMPEDE! She fell on her knees. A man had just pushed her down. Jason was quick, he readily held her tight in her waist. But the people were wilder. The next thing she saw were people trampling Jason from beneath their feet. It's as if they're scared to their wits trying to run away from SOMETHING! It was an exodus, people were crazy!

Seconds later, the smoke receded. She can see Jason writhing in pain. He is conscious but he cannot move, hurt from the stampede. They are now alone in the staircase yet she hears humanoid sounds coming from below. She looked down. There are people walking the staircase. But they seemed injured. There are stains of blood on their clothes. They were groaning. A woman looked up at her and she saw her gray eyes staring at her. The woman is moving but not as fluid as a normal person, as if she just rose from the dead! The others also move the same way as the woman did. Kris' head starts to clear. She cannot trust these people. They are scary! They may not be human at all!

"Jason, stand up! I'm scared"

"Jason, please!"

Jason stood up. Kris immediately carried him by the armpit. She dragged him up the stairs. They must get away! But the people downstairs seemed to disagree. They seemed to move faster wanting to reach them. Kris pulled Jason hard and dragged Jason as fast as she could. Jason's steps are wobbly, but they move. One foot after another, Jason attempts to equal Kris' pace. But he cannot. His mind is willing but his body is weak.

"Jason, hurry, they're a few flights down and they're moving quickly!"

"Kris, I can't --" a bloodied man had grabbed Jason's right foot and another held his pants. More attempted to reach and touch him. The man holding Jason's foot opened his mouth and --

"Is he trying to bite Jason?" Kris pulled Jason hard releasing him from the man's grip. She kicked the other man and carried Jason by his belt. She struggled hard and slowly lifted Jason one flight after another.

An old man with broken neck was able to grab Kris! He gave a hard shove which sent her sprawling on the ground. The push was so hard she was unable to retain her grip of Jason. She was forced to let him go! Jason fell two flights down. He tried to stand up but a bloodied woman grabbed him and bit him hard on his neck! Jason let out a loud groan as his blood splattered on the stairs. Another woman held his stomach and drove her hand inside him! Kris saw Jason's insides as the woman pulls his intestines towards her mouth and ate them! A man went near Jason and pulled his hand from his elbow, splintering his joint, then fed on his hand! More people came and they all sank their teeth on Jason's body, drinking his blood and eating his flesh!

Kris was shocked. Her body froze in terror. This can't be happening. She can only cry in soft sobs. She cannot believe what she sees. She is scared, she cannot do anything.

"I'm so sorry, Jason. I love you!" 

Kris ran up the stairs and reached the top. She opened the exit doors and ran blindly towards the cinema entrance. Once outside, she scrambled to the escalators and went down. She can see the people eating other people inside the mall. She can hear screams after screams. She doesn't want to turn back. She has to escape this hell. She has to survive. She has to live!
