The strange humanoid creature dashed at him on all fours, screaming and screechng as it jumped. Instinctively, Eric held his axe close to his head to block any attack the savage through at him. His face warmed up to the heat. For a second, he forgot where he was. He felt like he was hugging an electric blanket. His head quickly snapped back to the horrifying being advancing on him. It jumped forward, digging its filthy nails into Eric's flesh. He smacked the thing with a flat side of the axe, burning it and engulfing it in fire. It ran away while screaming and writhing around, trying to put himself out. Eventually, it collapsed onto the floor and rolled around, screaming deafeningly like the psychotic thing it was. Soon after, the thing's chest stopped convulsing and it went limp. All the others looked and ran away, climbing trees and jumping down cliffs as Eric picked up the body and took off the opposite way. 'Best to burn the evidence' he thought to himself before constructing a campfire based on the limited supplies around him. He held his blazing axe against the thing's flesh, which caught fire like oil. "God. Do you things bathe in gas?" he muttered to himself, only just realising most things do not burn this fast. He disregarded this and waited for the body to burn. He hummed his favourite song and ate a candy bar, feeling more energised with each bite. Suddenly, the body collapsed into a pile of bones.
'I wonder if...'
He picked up all the suitcases he had gathered, which was only three, and set them down near his newly lit campfire. He picked up a stick and began to hammer down on the suitcases until they all opened. He got 6 pieces of cloth, a roll of electrical tape and 2 bottles of booze. Happily, he cracked a soda can and tied the cloth around the bones until something worked. He picked up his new shoulderpad and pulled it on. A new sense of hope rushed through him. 'If I could burn enough bodies, I could have a full suit of this armor.' Eric darted down the cliff he sat on back to the yacht with great haste and went down to sit at the table. Staring around, he noticed the Sony Walkman on the table. "How didn't I notice you before, you sneaky thing!" He hit the play button and his favorite song came on. Things were finally looking up for Eric. "Fuck yeah!" he yelled with a beer in his hands.
