I got to a forest area type of neighborhood as I saw zombies approach.I thot quick as I had the hatchet and hammer in hand.It was about four of them, walking towards me; might as well practice.I attacked the first one with the hatchet as I got a good hit on its neck, the head went clean off as it fell on its knees slowly.I ignored it as I went for the next one with the hammer, I first sliced its knee with the hatchet as it tumbled.I then swung the hammer at its head multiple times in anger.The third one caught me off-guard as it lunged a bit but I blocked it.It fell over as I quickly threw the hatchet at the fourth one's head with such precision, it fell slowly as I got back to the third one, I positioned myself behind it as I started beating on the back of its head with the hammer, every swing was just more aggression I have for Cliff.I stopped after I've noticed it's brain mush.I got up as I caught my breath and headed over to get the hatchet back.
"Oh fuck…" I whispered as I kept on going on with my day.
It was getting dark as I was only an hour away from home, I saw a desolate home in the such a hidden area.I approached it as I felt like I could beat Goliath, these pills sure are helping.
I was at the front door of the home as I looked around just in case.I opened it as I had the hatchet in hand and had the hammer on standby as it was strapped to the backpack.The floor was all carpet flooring, I walked and looked around with caution.I entered the living room area as it had a lantern on stand by, that's odd.I turned it on to see it still working as I can see the room more clearly now, my god.
I see a man asleep as he's tied to a chair, I didn't yell but I was shocked.I looked around, I walked toward to see if he was still breathing.He had no clothes on as he had his mouth taped shut.He looked beaten and brutalized, such a scary sight.
I checked his pulse to see he's still alive as now I don't know what to do.If I awake him he'll cause some sort of trouble and whoever did this is probably still here.Maybe if I just, maybe -
"Don't move pal-" said a voice as I felt the barrel of his gun against my head.I had my hands up as he said
"Drop it, nicely …." I slowly bend down to place the hatchet on the floor as he continued to aim perfectly at my head with every movement.He whispered
"What are you doing here, huh- you his friend ?"
I was in a panic as I said
"No- no I don't know this man I just- I'm just passing by and was looking for shelter for the night; that's it- I swear -"
He cut me off by saying
"Alright Shut up !" He looked at the backpack to see the hammer as he said
"Take off the backpack …"
He backed away a bit as he continued aiming, I took it off and placed it next to the hatchet.
"Alright go sit on the couch …." I slowly walked towards the couch as I quietly sat down.He still aimed as he picked up the backpack and hatchet and placed it near the front door.He walked towards another chair they faces me and the tied up man.
"Look pal, you won't believe but this man's not a good guy and I'm not the bad guy here …."
I stared at him in fear as he added on
"These times are like the wild Wild West times, you're gonna have to just take my word for it; he is a sick man that deserves every bit of this….."
I nodded as I asked
"I understand…."
He seemed angry as he said
"The hell do you understand huh ?- nothing …."
He got up as I looked over at the living room table , it had a empty beer bottle; I see an opportunity.
"Look I don't want it hurt you okay, you're just going to have to leave, now …..but I'm keeping your stuff …."
I felt a bit angry as I said
"Not happening, I need those things …."
He laughed as he replied
"Well too bad…."
The tied up man slowly got up as he saw the situation, he muttered something's but you just couldn't point them out.The man turned as he looked over at him and said
"Oh you're awake, we've got guest over -"
He said as he gave me an opportunity, I quickly got the beer bottle and smashed it over his face.The man yelled as bits of glass got all over his face, I then got him quickly in a chokehold as he aimed the gun at the tied up man.
"Stop….stop…." He struggled to say as I continued to choke him out, he shot off two rounds.He missed the first one but the second hit the man in the chest, he was hurt as he yelled out in pain, he quickly slumped over.The shots startled me enough for him to get a bit loose, he started to aim the gun again as I had a quick instinct to throw him through the window in this living room.By now the shots have startled zombies to arrive shortly.I quickly grabbed on to him in a bearhug way and through him quickly through the window.We both went through it as it did hurt a lot, we were both in pain as we rolled around the ground, the gun was off of him.We both groaned and moaned as the man said
"You know, you really fucked me here…. "
I caught my breath as I replied
"Yea….we'll fuck you, Ahh !"
I lunged at him as we started to tussle around as a zombie approached.I was able to have the man pinned as I punched him repeatedly until I noticed the zombie, I got up as the man was still reacting to the punches.I went quickly for the gun as I aimed the gun at the zombie but hesitated.I have to remember what awful things this man has done to the other.He snapped out of it as he says "oh Christ ….!!!" The zombie went on to attack the man.
"Please help me, for the love of god help me !!!!" He yelled as I just looked on with no remorse.I quickly ran inside the home and got my things back.I gave one last look at the tied up man as his lifeless body sat there, he had his head tilted back as I looked back to see more zombies approaching and beginning to eat the man.
I looked inside the home to see a back door, I got out of there quickly, this night is such a cruel night.I made it to a little pit stop at a nearby gas station, I walked in to see it was empty and dark.I aimed the gun around as it seemed to be clear.I got some of the shelves and I barricaded the front doors.I took off the backpack as I laid on to the barricaded shelves as I I felt exhausted, I took two more pills as I was down to just a bottle and a half water left.I slowly fell asleep and am ready to head back home to get my revenge.It's so cruel what this world had become, whatever that was back there is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
The next morning I awoke to the sound of trucks moving nearby, this can't be real can it ?
I took a peak outside as I saw a militia of men chatting as they're parked in the front of the store.
"Aye but can you believe that shit yesterday- I mean Christ if my girl did that to me- I don't- I don't know how I'd act …."
Said a man as they all laughed,
"I mean shit can you blame the girl, Cruz was basically asking for it …." Replied a man as they continued talking.I don't care much of these people's drama, I have to think quick to get out of here; I can't decide if they're friends or not.
I slowly and quietly put on the backpack and had the rifle on me, just in case.I slowly laid low as I walked towards the backdoor of the store.
"I just can't believe she did that in front of everybody, like the whole town saw this…."
Said a different man as I slowly exited.I got out as the men were near the front door and were trying to get in.
"What the hell, aye who was the idiot in charge of this spot last night ?" Asked a man as another replied
"Uhhh- oh, Alan ….!"
The men felt annoyed and bothered when they heard the name as some scoffed.I overhear all this as I slowly walk away from the scene as I hope they don't see me.The man pulls out a walkie- talkie as he says
"Aye Alan, you dumb Fuck- next time don't lock us out of A5, okay numb nuts ?"
The men laughed as he put away the walkie-talkie and nonchalantly started pulling on the doors but it was closed tight.
"Damn it, give me a hand here …!" He demanded as a couple of guys helped push on the doors.
"God damn- the one thing Alan could do the right …..hehe…." Said the man as they stop.One of the men felt bored and started to look around, he spotted me.
"Aye someone's running it over there !" He yelled as the pointed at me.I continued to run as the man aimed his gun, he had a clean shot on me; he was about to shoot but was stopped.The man forcefully lowered his weapon as he said
"You fucking nuts, shooting all crazy like that, you two ….go get him- bring him alive for Christ sakes we're still human after all …."
He pointed two men out as they ran for it, the rest of them got in the car as they followed slowly behind.The two men ran after me as I kept on going, they did catch up fast.
"Hey stop, come on man ! " said one of the men as I continued,
"Please man, we just want to talk to ya man !" Said the other I say yelled back
"Kiss my ass !"
They both laughed a bit as they stopped, they were exhausted.
"God damn, he's fast …." Said one man as they caught they're breath,
"Or maybe, we're just slow …." Replied the man as they looked at each other in disbelief.
The car was still in my perimeter so I hid in the Forrest, I was still in the right track back home.
"God damn Alan always messing things up…" said a man in the vehicle as another says
"You remember when he "accidentally" wasted a gallon of water- we should've killed the boy for such an idiotic thing …."
They all somewhat agreed as one man said
"Can y'all shut the hell up, talking all crazy like that…." They all stayed quiet as they drove up a road to which I was coincidentally was running into to.
"There's the son of a bitch right there !" Pointed out the man as they drove a bit faster,
"Ahhh fuck !" I expressed in such disturbance.
I ran more as they were about to catch up to me, I was hesitant but I drew my weapon.I only shot a bullet in the air as some jumped.
"God damn, come on we gotta shoot the son of a bitch-" said a man as the other man yelled
"Calm the hell down ! "
They stopped the vehicle as I kept running but accidentally slipped and sprained my ankle a bit.
"Ahhh !" I yelled out as the saw this and reacted in second-hand pain.
"Shit man-" said a man as The man in passenger seat said
"Alright drive up slow, let's help him at least "
I laid on the floor for a minute as I looked up to the sky, I was dehydrated and starving.I hear the tires crunch as they approached.I reacted too slow as I aimed but the man had his hands up
"Whoa- whoa, hold on now !" He yelled out as his men aimed as well.
"Damn it, put your guns down …." He said to his men as I still continued to aim.His men stopped aiming as he turned back to me and said
"Hello there, us again ha; I'm Anton and weee not gonna hurt you man- we want it help you…."
I took a moment as I slowly stopped aiming,
"Good- good, what's your name ?" He asked as I Replied
"Bruce …." Anton nodded and smiled as he said "great, hey Randel…help Bruce out …." He said to a man who stood there.Randel approached as he took out a first aid kit.
"So Bruce you heading somewhere ?" He asked as I thought about the question.What if they're just setting me up, what if they pillage through; what if they're with Cliff.
"Look Bruce I understand, you're thinking what should I say a thing, hell I just met these guys …."
Said Anton, He was right.
"We'll look, we're from a small little town, out in the Valley, we're just here to visit our old friend Alan who should've been back home by now…."
I took in this information as Randel kept patching me up.
"How many people ?" I asked as he replied
"Well there's about uhhh, what is it 60 of us now ?" He asked as he looked around, they all thought about as Randel said
"64…."
Anton nodded and added on
"Right …right- 64 of us now, we've been living strong for months now, we got enough food and water to last us a couple more months if lucky, and we're armed and locked like Fort Knox ….hehe…."
They laughed as I gave a little chuckle, Randel was about finished up as he put the first aid kit properly away.
"Well he's all good, just know where ever you are heading off too, you wouldn't make it a minute walking in this condition …."
He put the first aid kit back in the car as the men got back in the car but Anton came to help me up.
"Alright so now- where we dropping you off ?" He asked as he help me get back in the car.Suddenly he noticed the two guys that ran after me are finally catching up.
"Well shit … " said Anton as the men stopped for a moment and said
"Oh good, we got him ….." they were out of breath and quickly got a water bottle out from the car.
"God, he sure can run man …." Said one as the other said
"Ehh I could've caught him if I tried …."
