"You think were gonna find something" Craig speaks as he's walking down the road with Kenny by his side, Jason walking silently behind them.
"Were only an hour out from the school before our car broke down" Kenny takes a deep breath as he tugs off his parka as the hot sun is beating down on them. "And now we have to walk and hopefully find another car that works down the road" Kenny says with an exhausted tone.
as the boys continue their stroll down the barren road they all walk close together but keep quiet trying to focus on the road ahead, another mile passes by and the trio comes across an old abandoned gas station with a partially caved in roof and junk laying around outside with a red rusty car outside facing the road.
"might be some stuff we can use in the gas station, ill go check it" Kenny says excitedly as he rushes to the partially collapsed building and carefully stepping inside.
Craig glances for a second at Kenny before he disappears inside the building. Craig then strolls over to the old car leaning his head inside darting his eyes back and forth among the row of seats, then gently leans his back against the front seat door taking his pack off and pulling out a bottle of water then takes a sip, dropping his pack at his feet Craig squints from the sun shinning directly in his face, with Jason circling around the other side of the car he carefully grabs the door handle with his knife in his other hand scanning the inside of the car for any threats.
"I already checked it bro, your good" Craig says with a reassuring voice he turns his head seeing Jason in his peripheral vision "want some water" Craig says holding the bottle of water in his hand.
"Na" Jason says not paying any attention to Craig's offer, leaning halfway inside the car he lays down on the front seat, head under the steering wheel he opens up the bottom compartment revealing different colored wires "this car looks like its around the mid 90s so this should work" Jason says in a deep tone, taking his hand off the wires for a couple seconds too adjust his long shiny mullet.
"We don't ever talk" Craig says hoping to start up a conversation "even though we did hang out with the same crowd of friends before this" Craig also adds as he turns around poking his head inside the driver side window looking directly over Jason.
Jason doesn't answer instead he looks up for a second acknowledging Craig's attempt to start a conversation, then looks down continuing his work. Craig looks up seeing Kenny exiting the building carrying a second back pack with a wide grin on his face.
"Anything in there of use" Craig almost shouts as he walks up to Kenny staring at the pack in Kenny's hand.
"Just a bit of food and a really nice piece" Kenny pulls out a pistol from his front pocket " Found it in a display case" Kenny then looks down and pulls at the slide unknowingly putting a round in the chamber "had to break the glass to get it though".
"Any ammo in it" Craig asks raising his eyebrows not taking his eye of the new found pistol.
"Don't know how to check" Kenny says in a confused tone.
"Lemme see it for a second" Craig asks as Kenny hands the pistol over to Craig who handles the gun like a professional pulling out the magazine revealing a 7 round clip Craig puts the magazine back in, "its a 1911 pistol, my dad used to have one" Craig informing Kenny as he's hands the weapon back "there's already a bullet in the chamber" Craig adds.
"How do you know so much about guns?" Kenny asks curiously.
Craig looks down at his sleeve licks his finger and rabidly scrubs a dirt smudge off then looks up " my dad taught me all there is to know about guns" Craig looks off into the distance smiling at the though of his dad " he would always go too the range whenever he could, he even brought me sometimes" Craig pauses "he thought it would be good for me too know how to defend myself, he's the reason why I'm alive right now " the discussion is interrupted by the sound of a choking car engine which causing the boys to turn their heads catching there full attention seeing Jason sitting up through the driver side window he rolls the window down and shouts over the thunderous engine.
"C'mon lets go! the engines a piece of shit, its gonna clonk out any second if we don't get going" both Kenny and Craig look in astonishment at the fact that Jason actually got that hunk of junk to work, as the boys now jump in the car Jason is met with pats on the back and smiles which causes Jason to smile even for a second as he pulls out of the abandoned gas station.
1 Hour later
The red car passes by multiple immobilized cars on the road as it enters a small town neighboring south park, the group of boys look out the window not recognizing this place at all almost seeming foreign to them as they drive slowly through a line up of old and rundown buildings only seeing two walking corpses patrolling an apartment complex like sentries "That grocery store looks good as any, lets stop over there" Kenny says as he points towards the end of the street where a large grocery store lies.
"This will have to be our last stop were almost out of gas, and we need the rest to get home" Jason says in a nervous tone.
"Its almost 5:30 lets get what we can from here and go" Craig looks at his watch from the backseat "I don't like the look of this place" Craig also adds in a unsure tone as his eyes dart around the grocery store entrance as Jason pulls into the parking lot.
Kenny exits the car first from the passenger side seat "pop the trunk" Kenny asks extending his arms in a stretch as he walks toward the trunk, Craig exits through the backseat door walking a few steps toward the grocery store as he notices massive holes in the front windows and the main doors to the entrance are unhinged and dangling off the sides. Craig takes his eyes off the building and turns his head noticing Kenny shuffling through the trunks contents as he pulls out a shovel looks at it then chucks it back into the trunk then he slams the trunk hood down and walks off toward the grocery store with Jason walking behind him.
as the group enters the grocery store they instantly notice the revolting smell of rotting flesh causing all three of them to plug their noses and squint their eyes, they also take notice of rows of half empty shelves causing Kenny to Frown and angrily stomp to one of the shelves and begin franticly searching. as Craig's walking up the aisle he notices a lone corpse laying near the register area not moving, he walks toward it with his hand reaching for his knife as he stands over it he notices a big gash in its forehead Craig frowns and looks back towards Jason and Kenny "look over here, somebody's already been here" Craig whispers as he points to the corpse.
"Goddamit" Kenny almost shouts but quietly concealing it to keep quiet.
Jason strolls over to a side door and reads out loud "Storage room" "maybe there's something here we could bring back" Jason says looking unsure.
"well lets find out Kenny Jogs over to the side door opening it slowly revealing pitch black darkness.
"Well shit this place smells like rotting garbage" Kenny also adds "maybe the switch is around here somewhere" Kenny sticks his arm around the corner of the storage room door feeling around for a light switch first on the left side of the door then on the right until he finds it and flicks the light switch up and down rapidity five times then gives up pulling his arm back.
"Here take this" Craig holding out a flashlight "see what you can find" Craig says as Kenny takes the flashlight pointing it at the ground as he flips the switch then points it directly at the center of the storage room all three boys shudder in terror their faces turn white as now as they gaze with the flashlight upon hundreds off the undead stumbling amongst themselves in the gigantic storage room with many of their faces rotted away and dismembered limbs, all three boys are frozen in terror at the sight of so many undead as it causes the spit in their mouths to almost turn metallic, Kenny quickly covers the light with his hand then starts slowly backing away.
"We have to get out of here"Jason Shuddering as he whispers in Craig's ear,Craig still standing Frozen to the ground, as Kenny backs up he bumps into Craig causing him to drop the flashlight on the ground, the sound from the drop echoed in the large room the flashlight rolls on the ground and shines on the almost endless horde of undead as they slowly turn their heads toward the sound spotting three next meals.
Kenny Shouts from the top of his lungs "RUN!" as he pushes Craig to get him to move because he's still frozen in fear, Craig wakes up from his fear paralysis and runs toward the exit with the other two, the three boys run towards the front exit with the seemingly unending horde constantly sprinting and gaining speed behind Craig looks Behind noticing for a second the undead running stumbling and crawling over each other like a avalanche to reach their food.
as the group run towards the light from the front exit a figure comes shambling towards the front door cutting off their path of escape a walking corpse wearing a police uniform his radio hanging down from his chest scrapping the floor as he shambles toward the boys running. Kenny pulls out his pistol from his front pocket as he's sprinting takes aim and fires.
!BLAM!
the bullet luckily Hits the undead corpse in the Knee causing it fall over on its stomach leaving the exit open again. the boys run out of the grocery store towards the truck with ferocity as the boys rush to get into the car they see the undead horde falling over the corpse that was just shot down on the floor delaying their ability to reach the boys, suddenly a corpse rushes through the broken sides of the stores window rushing towards the car, Kenny in the backseat hands the pistol to Craig shouting "SHOOT IT" as Jason quickly trying to Start up the engine, Craig leans out the window holding the pistol leading the target slowly then shoots.
!BLAM! the undead attacker falls to a clean headshot in the forehead. the bullet being fired only only riled the rest of them up as the horde gets up and continues to rush towards the car, the cars engine sputters as Jason starts it up again the cars exhaust pipe blows out a cloud of smoke as it speeds out of the parking lot in haste with the massive undead horde unable to keep up with the speed.
as Kenny looks out the back window of the speeding car watching intently as the undead horde still giving chase fades away from sight Kenny gaps and lays down on the front seat still panting from the chase they just received.
"I think I'm gonna have PTSD after this" Craig says trying to act calm while panting.
"OH SHIT" Jason shouts Causing the boys to jump at this sudden sound "WHAT WHAT!" Craig and Kenny both shout confused and scared.
"The cars been leaking ever since we left the grocery store".
"Can we still make it back to the school" Kenny asks in a slightly scared tone.
Jason looks down at the dashboard for a second turns his head looking at Craig then looks up in the rearview mirror at Kenny " aye we can make it" Jason intently says as he bites his lip and focuses on the road home.
(But little did the boys know the gigantic horde that was left behind at the grocery store wasn't Left Behind, in fact the horde had a fresh trail of oil to follow.)
