4. The Last Chamber

CHAPTER 4
(THE LAST CHAMBER)

We kept heading north, trying to reach Trovarg Island. Meanwhile, we stopped at a gas station, because Harry was tired and exhausted. John and I went across the street, to the drug store, to gather some medical supplies. In the middle of our task, I heard something strange going on at the back door. I opened the backdoor and found a horde. There were so many zombies that I couldn't even make a footstep backward. I kept staring at them for seconds, until one zombie noticed me. John went at my front and started bashing and killing them with his crowbar, while I got my shotgun ready and fired at them. We finish all zombies at the backdoor. I found a 357 magnum pistol with only one Chamber left at one of the dead bodies. We went outside with a bag of medical supplies and we continued our journey to Trovarg Island. "One kilometer left!" said Joseph. Six o'clock in the evening and the sun was almost down; we stayed at a bar for the night. Harry and John got drunk, while Gordon, Joseph and I talked about our lives before the outbreak occurred. In the middle of the night, John and Harry were fighting over a handgun they found under the cash register. I told them that fighting wouldn't help solve their problems and will only cause trouble.
I kept the gun that Harry and John found that night at the bar. The next morning, we left the bar and continued heading for the army base at Trovarg Island. We entered a housed that seemed safe. As we entered the door, no zombie was present, not even a single. We searched the whole house for supplies and got a bag of food. We were so thankful for what we found. As I Checked the balcony, I saw that the street was blocked by many large boxes. I told them what I saw and Gordon told me that if we could start a fire to burn the boxes, we could get across. I remembered that the bar was just a block away from the house we were on. We went there and gathered all wines. We spilled the wines on the boxes and we lit them. Meanwhile, we saw a bunch of zombies coming for us. We went inside and locked it. We went upstairs at the balcony to finish them. We keep shooting the zombies from the balcony. We forgot that John and Harry were still outside. They were still carrying wines to spill on the boxes. We shouted that a crowd was coming for us. They got themselves ready to fight the horde with melee weapons. I threw them my shotgun and the handgun they found to fight the horde. Not knowing, a zombie was on my back and was about to die. I realized I had a spare gun and I took the magnum with the last chamber left and shot him.
