I've been shot.
That much, I'm sure of. The bullet had pierced my skin and I remember screaming.
That was a few seconds ago, and still no one has come back for me.
The bullet was a clean hit, probably a millimeter away from hitting the center of my kneecap. Still though, the shot was effective. The others ran, obviously only caring about saving their own ass, I didn't. I fell forward, the last of my energy reserve failing me as I hit the asphalt. Behind me, the zombies' moans turned my blood cold as I reached out for my comrades… but neither turned their heads. They just disappeared into the darkness of an alley.
Where had the bullet come from?
That was the least of my problems at the moment. As slow as the zombies were, I was, at the moment, incapacitated. They were bound to catch me in a matter of seconds if I didn't think of something quick. What the hell was I supposed to do though? My weapon of choice had been a bat… most of the survivors had clubs and pipes. Mike, my best friend, was the only one that claim ownership to a pistol.
In which direction did that bullet come from?
Stop thinking! Crawl god damn it!
I was now crawling at half the rate of the zombies, my whimpers echoing through the night's air. My cries mixed with the assortment of noises from the zombies that claimed Raccoon City as their own. I'm pulling my dead weight towards a car, my hopes is that I can climb inside. Maybe it would hold until I get rescued.
Who the hell would shoot me?
The question doesn't matter anymore. Doesn't matter one bit, because the zombies have fallen upon me. Surprisingly, the first bite is the only one that hurts. The rest… are just inconvenient. Like a bee sting.
As the darkness soon curtains my eyes, my mind begins to play back to the events of what led to my demise. The way the others just ran off… they didn't even flinch when the gunshot was heard. As if they all expected it… Plus, the bullet… had hit the front of my knee. Someone had shot me from the front. The only one in front of me was Mike.
The darkness overcomes me.
