Stupid computer. Hello all. Here's the next chapter. An explanation on why these chapters are all a bit short. You see I'm supposed to be working when I submit them. But my laptop at home loves to spite me. Leaving me the only option of updating at work. It sucks you don't have to tell me about it. Gomenasai.I know a cliffhanger kind of corny but I had to do it.
Chapter 2 Sundown on Day 1
I'll tell you now there are no safe places to hide from flesh eating zombies. There maybeways to secure a place but there's no guarantee that that won't find a way in. Too bad for me, I had to learn the hard way. I had roamed dodging and ducking, hoping that by some miracle I'd find somewhere to sleep. I hadn't sleep in 49 hours, my mind was starting to fuzz. This was very bad. After walking for what seemed like forever Ii noticed a large steel structured building with lights on. Someone had to be there or at least I hoped. It wasn't too far away and at that same time a dog had peered up at me. Much too my dismay he was, you guessed it a zombie dog and he had friends at least 4 others that I could see.
"Ah damn, this day just keeps getting better and better." I said and tried to back away slowly thinking that these could be fooled. Yeah, right! I made a mad break. I stepped back and leapt over the group of dogs. One of them jumped to meet me mid-air and ended up with my boot in it's face. I smiled.
"Bad little doggie."
It didn't even yelp and picked itself up with such speed that I nearly had no head start. And the others were now following me, with a look of greed in their eyes. I ran blindly on pure instinct praying that I might reach the building in one piece. I could hear the soft wet paws hit the asphalt and it made me want to run faster but I was slowing down due to the lack of sleep. I saw a short ledge and jumped up onto it. Then it hit me. My gun, I had forgotten it completely. I aimed carefully and shot the nearest creature. It fell down and didn't get back up. The others were dumb enough to keep coming. I shot the next one and then it seemed to get their attention. I got down and as gross as this sounds they were busy fighting over the dead raw carcasses peeling the dead skin and meat from their decaying bones. Ugh. I took off in the other direction. And finally after some more running made it to my lighted hope only to have it crushed. A horde of zombies were between me and the building. I guess it surprised me to see when my pocket began to vibrate. I wiped it out quick. What the hell! How was I getting reception? My phone was notorious for not wanting to work properly.
"Miss Holland I suggest you find cover. Now might be good." Came the voice.
I hit the ground without a second thought. I looked up just in time to see a wave of fire slither past me and onto several live zombies. Oh, the smell was utterly horrendous. The flaming zombies were still coming towards us. I jumped up and back to see my hero. Who turned out to be none other then...my world turned dark before my brain ever connected.
