Chapter two: The Market

Early next morning Robert was awoken by gunshots. "Almost sun rise. Gotta to get to the Market." He rose out bed and put his shirt on loaded his gun and took a bite out a candy bar. As he went to the safe house door he open the window and peeked and he saw no infected arounded but he could still hear faint gunshots. He opened the door and started to walk cautiously. "Hope this isn't another jackass pranking me beyond the grave." As he made his way through the city he heard people yell at him. When he turned around he saw two men one with a crowbar the other a ak-47

"Ya. you give all that you have and we won't blow a hole in your head." The man with the crowbar said with a heavy southern accent.

"Come on dude, I only have this shotgun and the cloths on my back."

"Then we'll take the shotgun. Now drop it or i'll drop you." The man with the ak said with a grin.

As Robert was about to drop his 12 gauge a huge roar caused the men to turn their heads and Robert took his chance and ran. "Hey get back here you little shit." said one of the men. As he counted to ran he saw the men catching up so when he turned a corner he dove under a car hoping he would be hidden.

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know but I don't want to be here with a tank near by." He heard the men run away. It was a good five minutes before he poked his head out to check if they were really gone. When he didn't see anything he got up from under the car and continued his journey.

"That was close." Robert said to himself. As he continued down the road he saw the market and he started to run towards it. As he made his way to the door he saw that it was chained shut.

"Crap." As he started to walk away in defeat a small thing caught his eye, rust more specifically rust on the chains some parts looked brittle and frail. "Maybe if shoot it with my shotgun it will break the chains. said Robert with a worried look. "Hope this works." He cocked his gun and shot the chain breaking it but not without sending a ringing out across the city. When Robert opened the door he couldn't help but give a huge smile. "Good thing this things can't open doors." When he opened the next door he saw that the message wasn't a lie. "If this isn't end of the world heaven the I don't know what else is." As he walked down the aisle he couldn't help but laugh. "God I'm set this is going to be enough to last me til Tennessee." He stuffed his backpack with any food and drink he could find. As he continued looking through the store he stopped in his tracks and dropped to his knees. "YES!" Robert screamed. "A working slurpee machine, this is my lucky day." He got up from his knees rushed to the machine and got himself a cherry mixed coke slurpee. "Dout I'll ever have one of these again." He offered with a slight frown. After he finished his drink he made his way to the front of the store peeked out the window and saw a infected women run down an alley. "Got a few hours till sun down, better get going." As he made his way out of the store he felt like something was watching him, he shrugged it off a few more steps and he felt the warm breath of something behind him he turned his head and saw a huntress. He froze out of fear and was ready for death but something else happened. Something more surprising.

"Boo."
