The monstrous blood craving creatures, most of whom were half-eaten itself, with dark red blood dripping from all parts of their bodies, caught the hold of severely injured legs of the Middle-aged Man who was trying to climb up the steps of the stairs crawling on his hands while screaming on top his lungs and shouting for help but their was no one that could help him at that moment as they were themselves running for their lives. The Zombies started tearing his flesh apart and separating his body parts from him violently while the Man screamed and screamed with extreme pain untill life elapsed from him leaving him lifeless on the stairs covered in blood being feasted upon those monsters.
Tom and Harry left that Man there the moment they saw those ravenous brutes lunging at that man and were moving towards the open terrace as fast as they could at that moment while hearing those loud extremely painful screams of the Man along with the scary and frightening noises of those monsters. Having done feasting, those creatures left the corpse there and again started moving upwards staggering towards the running people.
Tom was helping Harry move in a faster way as Harry got hurt falling on the stairs by the moving crowd. They were now on the 6th floor. They found the door of a room open there probably by the scared people who left it and ran upwards and as Harry was struggling to move upstairs, they decided to move in the room. Tom quickly went inside and checked if there was any danger inside. Finding nothing suspicious, he quickly called Harry inside the room and locked it immediately. They sat down in one corner of the room beside each other ghastly and breathing heavily. Tom put tha bag and baseball bat beside him. Harry's knee was bleeding due to the fall.
"Let me see it! We should bind this area with some clothing! But first we have to wash it with water!" Tom said to Harry expressing his concern.
"It is painful. What should we do now? Those zombies are outside this door. If they enter through this too, we are going to die!" Harry said sighing.
Tom took out a bottle of water from the bag beside him and carefully started pouring water on the wounded area.
"Don't worry! We'll do whatever we can!" Said Tom washing the wound.
"Let me go and see if there is some clothing so that we can bind this area."added Tom. He stood up and looked around the room. His gaze fell upon the bedsheets in the bedroom. He quickly went in and tore off a piece of it using his hands and came back. Tom started binding the wounded area on Harry's knee carefully so that the blood doesn't come out.
"Let's eat some of these chips so that atleast we will gain some strength and be able to run when it requires so or put up some fight." Tom suggested.
He took out some of the packets of chips from the bag and they started having some of them.
"Where will we go now and how? If we stay here for long, those monsters will surely break in when their numbers grow outside." Asked Harry in despair.
"I really don't have any idea what to do! We can not go outside now! If they break in, I don't know what will happen! How are we gonna handle them! Or we'll die too like others!" Tom said sighing.
"The picture of the Man on the stairs is coming again and again in front of my eyes. I'm still disturbed by those scary images. What a brutal way to die! I don't want to die like that, even in my dreams!" Said Harry shuddering.
"I know! That is the worst way that can be!" Said Tom agreeing with Harry.
They could clearly hear the loud cries of the people outside along with the frightening noise of those monsters and all that they could do was just imagine the way those people were losing their lives and eventually turning themselves into one of those monstrous creatures growing their numbers.
Day-1
Time- 3:30pm
Sherlin, Juliet and Peter were on the first floor of their hotel building among a large number of people inside one of the hall room. Through one of the glass window beside them, they could clearly see the ever increasing number of those blood craving monstrous creatures who were staggering about their hotel building just waiting for an opportunity to break in, on the sandy beach, and everywhere else their eyes went. There were not a single living man to be seen by them on the ground. As far as they could see, there were only those monsters. At some of the places, there were few of them while at other places, there was a large horde of them staggering about the place and the soil every here and there had turned dark red as it was covered by blood of both the living and the dead.
There were only a few people that could be seen and those were in deep water with more than half their body drowned in and were shivering with cold as they had been there for hours since the outbreak of zombies but they could not come out of it even if they wanted because those monsters were staggering right there on the beach waiting for them to come out so that they could have a taste of their blood. Those people were quivering in chilled water and they even started having breathing difficulties. It was almost evening and by the night, the water in the ocean used to get frigid cold. It was impossible for them to survive there in the night. Now the only option left with them was regretting their earlier decision to go in the water and wait for their lives to end.
"Those poor people will also die by nightfall!" Said Juliet filled with sorrow.
"What apocalypse has fallen upon us! What did we do wrong that this all thing is happening to us!"Sherlin said with tears falling from her eyes.
"Let us not lose hope! If God has put us in this extreme situation, he surely will get us out of this." Said Peter being hopeful.
"Let us try moving from here and get ourselves upstairs on 5th or 6th floor in our rooms. I have still got my room key in my pocket. We have our baggages there. Hopefully we'll get there through this crowd. Then we'll see what to do next." Added Peter.
