It's morning of the next day when I woke up.
The pair of sisters were gone by then.
I never felt them leaving because they didn't use the door.....
"They left using the windows huh."
I muttered as , I stared blankly on what they left for me.
Most of the stuffs that I scavenged yesterday were gone.
But in exchange she left a note and a machete , it's a bit worn out already as its blade is chipped here and there , and some rust were forming on it's side.
'Oxidation caused by blood ..haa~~ I guess she never cared .. as long as it could be used to kill isn't it..?'
I grabbed the machete and it's sheath then proceeded to read the note.
"Staying here is dangerous , once you finished reading this you should leave.. those zombies might be weak but they are capable of detecting signs of life and converge near that place , I know that it's a common sense but nevertheless I'll still make sure that you don't forget about it. As for yesterday I'm sorry about that but it's better to be cautious everytime and don't trust anybody , live strong kid... and throw off your naive personality.... You are already lucky that I only stole your food and not killed you off right away .. I left my machete to you , though it's kind of blunt make do with it and survive as long as you could -Leonora"
'...fuck' I sighed.
'For now I should leave this place and find food.. fuck...'
As I tried to think were to go next , banging sounds came from the other side of the door.
"Zombies....." I spoke as my nerves pulled into a taut , I could feel my hunger but the sense of danger and will to survive suppressed it.
*Rooaar* *Bang* *Bang*
The frame of the door made a creaking sound , as if to tell me that it won't last for long.
I tied the machete to my waist and crumpled the paper into a ball.
Then I left using the window they used to leave.
Outside the window is a ledge sizing up to 2 feet connecting rooms together side by side around the building then a metal staircase for fire escape.
I sighed again , ' who would have thought that such a simple room would have escape routes easily accessible to anyone..'
Grabbing onto the metal frames , I jumped to the fire escape and went downstairs.
I found myself in an alley.
and.....Just as I found myself ... something found me.. obviously... it's a zombie.
I hurriedly drew out the machete , but what I didn't expect.... was this son of a b*tch could move faster than what I thought it would.
*Grrrrr*
The zombie pounced on me , as I couldn't evade it in time , I used my hands to hold it off.
I placed my left hand on it's neck preventing it from biting me then I used my right hand to shove it off.
The zombie gradually overpowered me , throwing me out of balance.
I used my left hand to clamp on it's neck tightly.
At this distance I could see every detail of this 'zombie'. Maggots wormed all over it's face and as it struggled some of it dropped on to my face , giving me an extremely nauseating experience but I held the urge to vomit.
"URRRGGGGGH FUCK YOU!"
Perhaps because I wanted to survive or because it's extremely disgusting , I summoned more strength and resisted until I threw the zombie off.
I stood back up and drew my machete.
Then swung it's dull blade downwards.
*Crack*
The machete embedded itself towards the zombie's skull , the machete could only go halfway through and got stuck.
Brain matter scattered everywhere , blood and worms could be seen on the ground as the zombie lay on it unmoving.
Then ...
I finally puked what I held on earlier.
