The Beginning Of the End

People find it hard to accept the world we live in today, especially when most of those people are chasing you for lunch. Almost like now as I'm thinking I'm being chased by a flesh craving monster. I have figured out now that this isn't the best situation I've been in, no weapon and a lonely road have taken me to being chased by a monster that could kill me with one bite.
"Ah hell" I said to myself as I scanned the area in front of me. The sun's rays beating down on me and reflecting off of the black pavement road I was being chased on was not helping either. "Weapon, water, shelter. Come on Max, think." I scanned the Nevada desert looking for any type of weapon I could kill this son of gun that was chasing me. I could see up ahead an abandoned car laying on its side, It was about 10 yards away. I had to make the decision to either run up to the car and take my chances with another one of these rotting bodies for a weapon, or keep running until I out run the rotting corpse that's chasing me now. I made a quick logical decision and bolted for the car. I was about 6 yards away and could already hear the groaning of another zombie from inside. I took a quick look at the car and found the exhaust pipes hanging off of the rusty old car. I grabbed the end of it and felt the rusted metal crumble in my hands. I yanked the pipe of off the car and swung it behind me hitting the corpse in the head, there was a crunch as the head gushed with red. The body instantly fell to the sandy ground and went limb. I then turned around to see the other corpse making its way out of the car. The thing must have been there for months due to the crispy rotting skin. One of its arms had fallen of and was laying several feet away, probably when the car had crashed. I set my footing toward the crispy corpse and took a stab toward it, the corpse had stumbled and dodged my jab. The crack of its old rotting bones were loud as I lifted its self-up and darted toward me. I took the pipe in my hand and tightened on the grip as I lifted my arms almost as if I was ready to hit a baseball. The target I wanted to hit was now at arm's length to touching me that's when I shifted my weight and let the pipe fly.
Instead of hitting the exact point I wanted to hit at I had hit bellow it. The neck made shivering snap like breaking a stick, the zombie had fallen to its knees. The vertebrae of the body was now poking its way through the baked flesh of the zombie, it's head in an awkward angle only being held on by the stringy tendons of its neck. The thing still hadn't had died as it moaned and struggled to pick its self-up for the want of warm soft flesh. I took a step towards the zombie while raising the pipe above my head ready to end its dead life. I brought the rusty pipe down on to the burned crispy head of the rotting mass in front of me, the pipe made contact with the head in a split second letting oozing blood escape the puncture I had made. The dark greenish substance sprayed its self out of the hole as I yanked the pipe from its head, my old crumbly clothes now covered in dark green ooze. I took a step back from the body and let the flesh covered pipe slip from my grip. I was craving water badly now, my dehydration had now worsen from the run and fight i was in.
"Dam things" I exclaimed as I kicked the bag of dead flesh in front of me. I turned on my heal toward the car hoping to find anything that I could benefit from these kills. I took a look in the front seat only to find the remains of the half eaten body of another corpse glass plunged into its head. "Dam thing must have gotten hungry." I said to myself as I clicked the button to open the trunk. With the trunk now open I took a look in the back seat to find some cloths "I can use those "I stated as I looked down at the useless excuse for cloths I had a pair of short hiking boots and a white tank top now covered in a green substance. I then walked to the trunk to find exactly what I needed, water, food, and a weapon. "Perfect" I smiled to the greatest decision I had made in my life killing instead of running.
I grabbed the cloths and changed into a pair of light cargo pants, a light weight green tank top and jacket along with my tan hiking boots( /cgi/set?id=76466544 ). I then grabbed an empty bag in the trunk and started to fill the bag with as much as I could carry. I had 10 waters and 6 packs of dried fruit with 2 cans of beans. I swung the bag over my shoulder and started on my way down the road as I passed the car a flash caught my eye. I turned to see on the dash board broken glass and a pair of sunglasses, I reached through the hole in the windshield and snatched up the blood covered glasses "Oh well" I said as I examined them for a while before wiping off the dried up blood and slipping them over my eyes. I turned back to the direction I was heading in to find the city line a couple 100 miles away. "Looks like I'm going to find a ride." I smirked as I took a step toward a city with chances.
