The cinema trip was a long one for sure, felt like you'd been there for weeks just glued to your seat.
It was one of those marathon sessions - five films in one sitting and a very low entry fee.
You went with your friends as a joke, intending to leave whenever but you sat through them.
All five films with each around 2 hours long according to the cinema's website at least.
As you went to stand every joint in your body groaned and clicked loudly in the now quiet room.
It shouldn't have been that quiet, there should be talking unless somehow they'd all fallen asleep?
Looking around you saw that sure enough everyone else was slumped in some way.
Still you should have been able to hear them breathing.
They were utterly silent and in such a dimly lit room it was near impossible to tell if they were alive.
You tried your phone but it was refusing to turn on, only displaying one single line of text.
KEEP YOUR MOBILE PHONES OFF DURING YOUR STAY. THANK YOU.
Why did it say "stay" when you'd only been there a few hours?
You resorted to shaking your friends awake only for their bodies to crumble at your touch.
They literally began to dissolve as soon as you came into contact with their cold limbs.
Like a row of dominoes it spread and before you knew it everyone else in the cinema was gone.
Their former bodies now piles of clothing and sludge.
Trying not to tread on them (and failing as their corpses seeped through your trainers) you left.
The foyer was the same, people were slumped everywhere - even the stairs.
You tried to avoid touching as many of them as possible but accidents happened.
By the time you reached the door the floor behind you was a swamp of former-humans.
Someone was blocking the door, gripping the handle so hard their knuckles were white.
It was the only thing keeping them upright as you stared into their vacant grey eyes.
They hadn't been alive for quite a while judging by the flies that buzzed around them.
You spotted familiar yellow tape behind them, further sealing you in, and your strength left you.
