The Epidemic- Chapter 2
Here I am in this stupid building, trying to figure out how I'm going to find a way out. There is a fire escape near my position, but I would have to fight to get there. I have a steel pipe, a blanket, and a ham sandwich. That's not going to help if there is at least 20 zombies outside the room I'm in. If I had a distraction, I could avoid the horde outside and just book it to the fire escape. I hope the idea I have works, because if it doesn't, I'm fucked. I open the door run a few feet down the hall and I throw the pipe far down the opposite end. As soon as I hear it clang ,I ran as fast as I could toward the fire escape. I dove straight into the giant metal slide, and I instantly regretted it. I slid down for at least thirty seconds and got caught in a stringy web. The thickness of the web immobilized me and I could only move my head and my left arm. I knew I was as good as dead, the creature that made this web would return, and eat me alive. I never thought this was how I would die, eaten by a Scarab. Scarabs are pretty much like giant mutated zombie spiders from hell. They trap their prey in their webs and then poison them with their giant fangs. How do I know this? My Aunt died by a Scarab, I watched the whole thing. I was too scared to act. It wouldn't have mattered it was too late, she was already dead. The only thing that can eliminate these things is by shooting their asses. The front of Scarab is armored by a thick layer of skin. Can't even shoot through it. But if you hit them in the abdomen, they bleed out. Or slime out in their case. if I could move I could defend myself. I tried to use my free arm to tear the web, but I hit my arm on the wall of the slide. It vibrated the giant tunnel, and I fell silent, then still. Then, I felt a vibration in the slide. I heard a clicking noise and I knew that it found me. This is it, it's all over for me now. Goodbye cruel world, I'm a goner.
