Fear gripped all of Danny’s vitals. Beck had turned his face to them. His eyes were bloodshot red. Even from the distance where he stood, Danny could clearly see the redness. It was a ‘not to be missed’ factor of the zombies.Gritting hard and loudly his teeth while letting out a vibrating sound, Beck slowly took a first step then a series of others.“Grrrr —” The continuous palpitation of his teeth together was nonstop.As though the husky guy by the door was of no concern to him, Beck headed for the bed.Or maybe he could sense there was more food on the bed than by the door.“Shoot him!” Mae shrieked, panic-stricken to her very throat.The husky guy was relentless about not shooting. “So what happens when I shoot him and more come, huh? What are you gonna do then?!” he roared.Every one of them was on the edge. Danny immediately firmed his grip on the little girl. He was ready to dodge and dock as Beck approached.Thankfully, the bed frame was a little high. Beck was at first trapp
Now that Beck had caught sight of Danny, he began to approach him too. Danny found his voice lost as he began to move back to duck him but Beck only kept on coming.“We need a weapon!” the husky groaned from behind before charging at Beck from behind.Since Danny had him distracted and Beck was focused on getting him, it was easier for the husky guy to knock Beck down.“You have a weapon with you, Avery. Just shoot him already!” Mae hollered, almost entering into the wall behind her.The husky guy – now Avery, paid no attention to her but pounced on Beck before he could get up again.Even Danny had grown too tired. He had faced too much stress incomparable to the little energy he had left in him.Hell, he’s had just little to eat and drink and was stressing more than he had ever done before.He couldn't even sleep.The worst kept on happening!“Help me hold him down!” Avery groaned amidst gritted teeth as he struggled to pin the jerking Beck down.Danny rushed to him and knelt by Beck
Danny knew Mae was stupid and a bitch but he never expected for it to be this bad.Stupid wasn't enough of a word for her – she was callous, selfish, and emotionless.How could she so careless say that the little girl would die?J— Just how on earth could she?!“What's your problem? How can you be intent on displaying your stupidity, bitch?!” Danny bellowed, feeling his anger spurring to life.Fortunately, Mae had already placed the little girl back on the bed. Approaching them now while fumbling with the sheets, she hissed loudly.“Are you calling me a stupid bitch, you pervert?!” Danny knew it was he who created the avenue for her to trample over. Had he not gotten an erection when she was pulling the belt off of him, she wouldn't be calling him a pervert so effortlessly now.He had nothing to say further to defend himself anymore. He wasn't used to arguing or exchanging words too.Instead, he choked on air in his throat. The veins on it were rising red and throbbing.To mask his h
Avery had also turned in the direction of the little girl’s bag where a group of zombie worms were creeping out from.It was understandable if they were still some bits of zombie worms left in the bag since the little girl had a close shave with them.She was damn lucky to not be infected. Danny wanted to feel bad for Beckbut then when he remembered how Beck had flipped him aside to go ransack the little girl’s bag, he couldn't help but think the damn guy asked for his own destruction.“You brought zombie worms here?!” Mae bellowed, already climbing onto the bed with too much irritation that could have lasted her a lifetime.The coward!Avery stood and made towards the bag while nagging. “We could have all gotten infected! How the hell did they even get to infect Beck?”He began to storm on them, his heavy boots in a war with the planks on the floor of the room.“We escaped an ambush of zombies. Don't blame me for it!” Danny, in retaliation, hollered at Mae, defending himself.It was
He did not know what her name was but he remembered hearing her father yelling the name “Belina,” so he might as well call her that and see.“Belina?” He called on to her and sharply, she turned.Danny knew she couldn't be more than eight or seven but she did look sharp and quick-witted.“It's my sister.” She breathed.Her sister?Outside?Danny sprawled out of bed immediately, however, his trousers dropped right on the floor, leaving his underwear open.Oh, no!The little girl shouldn't be made to see that. Instantaneously, he dragged it up and glanced at her awkwardly. She had her eyes scrutinizing him from top to bottom as though it were now when his pant had dropped that she was just taking a good note of him.Anyway, he wouldn't blame her if she was just noticing him now. She had witnessed a hell of a horrible sight the night before and was greatly traumatized that she couldn't even utter a word.It was impressive that she had gotten up on her feet and found her voice again this
In the end, Beck was all fried up with the black liquids covering the better part of his body. It was almost as though he were a big body of black paint lying lifelessly on the floor.Yeah, the sun killed him.He stopped moving when his head also began to leak and drip with the liquid too. It was all silent between them except for the noises erupting from outside.Who the hell were the people outside making so many noises?“The zombie worm is brutal. The infection doesn't just leave the bodies of its host after destruction—” Avery was sadly saying when Danny cut interrupted and finished off for him.“It takes their lives too.” He whispered.It was sad.They were battling a gruesome and brutal enemy.“It's all just scary and gross and you, Avery, were laughing and jubilating?” Mae countered Avery again.Danny couldn't resist interjecting her. “Just shut up, girl. It's nice to know we have the day to ourselves until it's sundown.” “Don't talk to me you pervert!” Mae, in the tiniest an
Avery turned to Danny with immediacy. Throwing his hands up and simultan finally dropped them beside him, “Would you rather we go through the corridors that might have zombies crawling inside of it? I can't even use my gun, man!”“Yes, it would only attract more and you boys can't afford that baby.” Mae chirped in, clicking her tongue.ARGH!If Danny wasn't against hitting women, he was tempted to go over to her and land a big bad blow on her flat face.She dared made commentary on such a brave act that he and Avery were going to conduct when she couldn't even be of much help –while they were battling just an ordinary zombie in such an enclosed place like a room.Hell, as if he knew girls were bitches.It was all the more reason why he stayed away from them. With a hateful glare at her, “Shut the fuck up, bitch!” He growled, almost sounding like fried Beck while he was still up and kicking.Mae would definitely not take being cursed at lightly as Danny himself was surprised that he
The voice belonged to the same group Danny had seen earlier snatching off a bag from those women.It was the sun that welcomed Danny before meeting the group’s unwelcoming face. Now that Danny took a closer look at them, he saw the striking resemblance they bore.It was almost as though they were a group of fugitive brothers. They were four and they looked aggressive, wielding weapons and shouting at the two men. If one were asked, they’d think these people were a pack of ex-convicts waiting for the end of the world to show people who were the boss after all.Hopefully, Avery would know how to deal with them.Avery stepped forward, holding his hands up in a gesture of peace. "We come in peace," he said, "we're just like you all. We have nothing on us and are out to scavenge for a little something to eat." The leader of the group, a tall, muscular man, stepped forward. "We don't care about what you have to say. Just drop what you have on you before you make us let you,” he growled.D
