Ch 2: the basement Pt 1
Isaac slowly walked over to the door wondering what awaited him, a slight breeze emitting ominously from the doorway. First he wondered if it was an item he could use to get out of there faster? Could it be long hallway leading to freedom? Or could it be a monster that would give a worse fate than being found by his mother? Isaac shuddered at the last thought, and entered the room cautiously and curiously, not sure of what to make of it. Upon first glance he saw rocks, boulders, and stones of all assortment in each of the room's four corners. Seeing that the room looked safe he took a few steps in. the draft that he felt just a second ago stopped dead. Each of the doors in the room closed before Isaac could turn to leave. Scared and slightly panicked he huddled against the door of which he came, and attentively gave another look about the room. He noticed a figure, laying down in the middle of the room it was headless and had blood leaking out from where the neck… was. Glancing quickly around the room and finding no more bodies he stood up slowly and made his way apprehensively towards the corpse. His conscience told him something was off, with his mind sped up due to the adrenaline he was able to think briefly about what it was exactly. He took a deep breath through his nose, in attempts to calm his nerves. Then realization hit him like a freight train "this body… does not smell dead and rotten… but…but… nobody has been down here in forever, then that means-" his thoughts were interrupted when a deep gurgle/moan escaped the corpse's throat, Isaacs eyes wide as saucers watched the creature slowly hobble to its feet and stand in a slouched position knees slightly bent "zombies… great! Now I've seen everything." Isaac mumbled in a sarcastic tone, which the zombie was able to hear. the pacer's body twitched, and Isaac froze. turning towards Isaac the headless body gave a noise that was a mix of growl and gurgle and advanced forward, Isaac panicking again sprinted towards the door he came in from and proceeded to pound on it until the zombie got about 10 feet away from Isaac, then he ran over to the door on his right which had a golden frame, a crown adorning the top of it. But that could wait until the zombie problem was dealt with.
This process lasted about a minute and a half before Isaac was back at the door he came in through and slumped down against it. the zombie was moving much slower than he was when they started the chase, but Isaac knew he could not escape. He waited too long to make a move and before he knew it the zombie lunged through the air and tackled Isaac against the door. It grabbed at Isaac's neck and started to squeeze the life out of him, Isaac all the while traumatized by this began to struggle against the zombies' hold, his short life flashing before his eyes thought so this is it… this is going to be the end of my life, I am going to be eaten by this abomination while trying to escape my psychotic mother. I still have more things that I want to do… I will never grow up… I'll never see the world… i'll… never get a friend… Isaac never had a friend, he had always wanted a true friend. Someone there to experience life with him, someone who will be there to comfort him in a time of grief, like when he lost guppy. Someone who could always be there…no matter what life ever threw at them, the pessimistic, and saddened thoughts gave Isaac an epiphany, it sent Isaac over the edge. I do have a say in my fate, and I am taking it! His struggling continued to get more and more fervent as these thoughts flowed through his mind no! I will live to see adulthood! I will see all that I want to before my life ends! And I will find a friend to fight with me! the zombie holding him down, started to lose his grip, when Isaac finally yelled in rage "I WILL NOT DIE TO YOU, YOU CURSED ABOMINATION!" and with that he brought his feet to the zombie's ribcage and with great strength kicked the zombie off of him and sent it flying to the wall, he then continued to stomp over to the corpse on the ground, lift it in the air with one arm and threw it to the rocks in the corner of the room between the starting door and the gold framed one and left it on the ground to get up slowly, panting like an enraged bull. Hands clenched into fists hard enough to make his knuckles white. With one last war cry, Isaac charged towards the standing zombie dazed from its temporary flight, jumped three feet into the air. He then drew his legs to his thighs and when he got close enough brought his feet to the spine and ribcage of the zombie, with a clearly audible thud and several sickening snaps sent the zombie towards the rocks in the corner where it hit a rather large boulder.
The once humanoid figure upon smashing into the rock fell over backwards revealing just how much damage the lunge kick did. It's once only slouched spine bent backwards at a sharp angle a human spine is not supposed to be able to bend to, right where the kick landed at the bottom of the ribcage snapping the spine. Isaac looked on in slight horror and awe of what he had just done his rage gone and no traces of visible anger said to himself in a shaky voice "well… I guess I will need to do this constantly if I want to get out of here" with his thoughts finished he looked to the golden door frame of the item room and said with a slight frown "I just hope there are no zombies in there too."
So that is all for this chapter! How did you like the action scene? Did I do good on that? Or, is it a weak point? Regardless thank you for reading! Tell me how I did! I am always willing to consider suggestions.
Until next time…
