“Hold on tight,” he whispered to the little girl who seemed to be aware of the danger in the air as she tightened her grip on his neck the more.Danny thought he would die soon of lack of oxygen. He did not expect for her to clutch onto him this tight.While the buzzing of zombie growls resounded behind him, Danny bent and thrust his head out of the window. What greeted him first was the dire breeze of the night. It touched his face and only sent more chills down his bone marrow.His legs were still on the toilet sink as he strained his neck to see if there was any solid ground around the window where he could place his legs.It was better to look before leaping. He would not want to become a midnight snack to the battalion of zombies outside.The girl’s noisy breaking of window had alerted them. Danny could hear their hungry snarls from below but he could not bring himself to gaze down at them. He might catch a loss of his grip and actually fall if he dared to sneak a peek at the mon
Three people — three healthy-looking people stood, hands akimbo watching him intently.Danny had no idea what feeling he was supposed to grope.He wanted to jump at them and embrace them tightly for he had thought it was the end for him now. He hated not knowing what to do because of the lack of information he had about this new world."Drop your things." A male of the two males and one female ordered him.His back was aching originally. So, without question, he dropped the girl.The light from his phone's flashlight was the only thing illuminating the dark room.The order came again. "I mean everything you have on you. Including the phone." Drop the new phone he was more than joyous about finding?Hell no."Why should I?" Danny queried, feeling like he has the upper hand because he was the one with the light.As though his mind was a book out to be read, power returned to the room. The bulbs emitted light once again and Danny could see now the three people in front of him."What's g
What Danny merely generated were stares of contempt from the three strangers. “Yo man, the food was yours. Don’t tell me you haven’t eaten lots of these candy bars.” The second guy groaned before returning to his eating business.“We were just messing with you anyways.” the husky-looking guy said, now looking less scary to Danny.The second guy who was slimmer said amidst mouthfuls. “Is she your sister? Something wrong with her?”Before Danny could reply, “Don’t tell me you brought a kid to a club.”“No, no, no.” Danny rushed to defend himself. “She is not my sister. I found her.” When he saw the suspicious dimming of the trio’s eyes, he commenced his ranting.“I mean, I don’t know why her dad brought her here but I saved her while they were being ambushed by zombies.” He further explained.“Look,” the third guy called. “It’s Superman!” He chortled.Now, Danny was confused.“You should only save your own ass, man. Playing hero in an apocalypse will only get you killed.” The husky gu
Probably 10 or 5 minutes into sleep, Danny started to hear some sounds. At first, he thought he was dreaming it but the sound of a metal clanking on the floor followed by a masculine voice convinced him he wasn't dreaming.Cursing this new world for not giving him the space to breathe at all, he reluctantly opened his eyes. He stared into the ceiling, feeling too lazy to get up until someone was violently thrown across the room until they landed with their aggressively on the floor.That must have been very painful, Danny thought.Immediately, as if power was recharged into him, he flung up.The husky guy had his gun pointed in the direction of...Danny turned his gaze to the person who landed on the floor to find Beck wriggling in pain on the floor.The girl was also awake but squatting on the bed with her shoulders tensed with alertness. “Stay off man!” the husky guy was saying to Beck who was already getting off the floor.He was holding his head with one of his hands, acting like
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
