I remembered when me and my friends had gone out once in a cute little cafe that had just opened up in town. There were 4 of us - me, Cheryl, Nicola and Anne, and we'd not seen each other in a long time. There was a lot of catching up to do, and just one slice of cake and a cup of coffee wasn't gonna do it, yet that was all we had time for and still we managed to waste it. We began talking about how we were doing in our relationships, at work, plans we had for the summer, but after about five minutes we started talking about completely random stuff like always. I'm not sure how but the topic came up about near death experiences, and I was the only person who hadn't had one. Well, the only person up until now.
The first biter threw itself on top of me, and I was convinced I wouldn't have the strength to keep it away from my face. I rolled it off of me and tried to get up, but there was another one behind me that I couldn't control. It grabbed onto my shoulders and leant forward to bite my neck, it's half-decayed jaw snapping away, and I had no other choice but to duck down and hope that it would let go. I ducked and it overbalanced, falling on top of the first one and squirming around hopelessly. There were a few more close to me but I pushed them away and started running for my life, terrified I wasn't going to make it. There was blood on my shoulders and cheeks and I prayed to god that it wasn't mine. I felt so gross and dirty and the biters were right on my back, suprisingly fast for dead people. But I was exhausted and I'd never been good at running. I wanted to take a few of them down but I didn't have a weapon and I wasn't strong at all. I couldn't help but yell as I ran, so angry at the fact that I'd brought this on myself and put everyone else in danger, yet again. I sprinted faster, my vision slowly getting worse as the night got darker. I wondered if I'd make it back to the gas station, if the guys had waited for me or left me. A set of headlights whizzing past me moments later only confirmed that they'd left and there was no longer any point in me running, I'd never make it alone. "Great," I breathed to myself. "Well, you've brought this on yourself. May as well take it like a man." I stopped running and turned to face the threat that was getting ever closer to me, and my heart stopped before they even reached me.
