a potential short story?
It was the end of the world. Alien type creatures had invaded and were slowly turning the earth's population into zombified hosts for their offspring. The US government forms a military front to combat the evil bastards. To aid the front they allow all able males to join as well as release technology that had been top secret until then. (Such as planes with flying saucer technology and laser beam attack guns.)
I join. I fight the alien/zombie invasion for ten years from one of the last bases on earth, Farmington NH. My bases gets attacked. My Sargent orders me to evacuate with the last remaining flying saucer/plane and go into town to get any able human from the settlement to join me on a last ditch effort to move to the largest human settlement in IRAQ.
I go to my cousins house in town and in landed the craft I destroy part of the upstairs room of the house. (I have never flown one of these before give me a break.) I make my way into the house only to discover my cousin and her daughter talking to some other people I know from town. Included in the group is my girlfriend from first grade. She and I never dated again, but all the way from the age of 6 I have carried a torch for her. (Big secrety thing, don't tell)
So anyway, I am in the kitchen with my cousin and all these people when down the stairs comes my cousins father. He is bloated and is showing the signs of infection. He attacks. I go to defend, and the next couple minutes are a blur. I realize I am standing by myself in this room and everyone is dead and more zombies are opn the way. My cousin is dead and her baby. My old ex-girlfriend is no where in sight. I run up and start to fly away from the town in my hover plane thing, looking for people to rescue.
I see my ex running towards a field at the edge of town with her sister. (She doesn't have a sister in real life, but there was her sister running beside her.) So I swoop down and try and snatch her up into my plane. She tells me she is running towards her dead husband's graveyard and wants to be with him when she dies. Her husband, who she loved very much, died in the first wave of zombie/alien outbreaks.
I tell her that I love her and that there is no way that I would ever let her out of my sight. I tell her, in tears, that I have been in love with her since first grade and that she can't disappear out of my life like this. It was fine that she got married and fell in love with someone else, but as long as she existed I was in love with her and I couldn't bear the thought of her dieing.
She embraces me and we share a kiss that would shame even the greatest of movies kisses. We kiss for a good while. We are both tearing because we both know what she is about to say.
"I am sorry but I love him, I have to stay." I hug her a little tighter and let her go. Her sister stays with her too, I guess. I don't remember what happened, I just remember flying into the horizon and being very sad.
