Danny and the girl synonymously jerked away from the door. The motion was sudden and caught them taken aback.The man did not wait for them to willingly open the door or not. He started to bang on the already broken door which fell with an enormous creak inside the room. It led to the average-sized mattress placed to shield the open parts of its land with a big thud inside the room. The mattress landed on every part of the room aggressively, almost tearing it apart.The girl, probably the smartest female Danny had seen – already predicted the fate of the aftermath of the door getting broken down and the mattress thudding that way.She took Danny’s hand and ran straight to the toilet, locking the door firmly behind them while Danny heard the noises from a swarm of zombies running inside the room.“Get away from her! Get away from HER!” the man was yelling nonstop and sounds of body thumping on the floor could be heard.The little girl’s voice was also ringing uncontrollably with fear.
Almost at once, the zombies charged at him. In the same vein, he also withdrew from his mission and tried to crawl back into the room but it was too late.A zombie grabbed his hand and almost sank its teeth into it.“Pull me inside, pull me inside!” he roared with a loud cry as he yanked his hand away from that zombie, still crawling back.Another zombie flew on top of him before the number increased. Their dreadful breath and growling sprawled all the little strength he had left to fight.He needed to survive.Danny forgot about crawling and rapidly, he stood up. It was a difficult task, standing up but he did it. The weight of the zombies trying to take a bite of his flesh was heavy on him but the fear of being bitten sent the Superman mode in him off.He wanted to dash back to where he came from but he got overwhelmed by the zombies pulling at a single foot away from him. Now, he had to forget about running and had to fight them off.He wondered why the girl had not come out to hel
“This is all your fault!” The girl snapped at him the moment he turned.Danny was immediately flabbergasted. How was saving the life of a little girl a fault?“Nothing happened to us. We are still safe.” he pointed out, his jaw tightening.The girl stood up from where she sat on the toilet floor while the zombies kept on scratching the door from outside.“Safe? Do you think that door will hold for long? It is only a matter of time before it collapses from the weight. What happens next is no history you know!“He knew she was right about the door not holding for long but then again, he would not regret saving a little girl. He would do it again in any situation no matter how dangerous without thinking twice.He searched for what to say to her as he scratched his temple. “We can look for a way out. It is not too late,” he said. “Damn you, Danny!”The girl must be out of her mind as she rushed to the toilet's wall mirror and kicked on it with her heeless shoe. How she retrieved her leg
Danny was wondering where the worm he tossed away from the little girl’s hand was. He had his answer now.“Fuck!” she cursed and with speed, grabbed the zombie worm from her forehead. “It's a freaking zombie WORM!” she affirmed as though he didn't know that already.Danny was expecting her to throw it on the floor immediately and crush it but instead, two fingers from her other hand were on it, fumbling.It was as if she was struggling to get it off.When he heard her next words, Danny confirmed she was struggling and ran to her.She said, “Get off Me!”The girl glanced up at Danny and then back at her palm.“I got my middle finger wounded while trying to bring the little girl into the toilet,” she told him.His brows raised in confusion as he set her other two fingers trying to hold the zombie worm from going fully into where?Her wounded finger?It was when he removed the fingers shielding the view and she yanked his hand off with a swear.“Asshole! You are hellbent on getting me kil
Now, watching the edge of the broken glass course through her wrist while she groan in agony and the increasing pressure on the door only made him feel bad about himself.He couldn't even utter a single sound and only watched in stupefaction as the glass rugged further into her hand – thinking it might not work.But the girl, she was relentless. She continued to tear her wrist until finally– almost forever in Danny's eyes, the poor thing fell with a thud on the floor.The gushing of blood from the wrist which had no hand now was synonymous with a shower drizzling its content about the toilet.The blood was rushing at first– thick and stout. The white crop top underneath her jumpsuit was now taking a somewhat pink hue. Danny was amazed at how much blood there was in a human's body.Now, the toilet floor was more than bloody."Help me!" she cried out loud, yelling at the panic-stricken Danny.Danny was way too scared that even when he ran to her, it was unconsciously."What do I do? Wha
The girl cut him short with patent irritation. "The girl is your responsibility and problem. Not mine. You give her a piggyback or something!" she snapped then, she winced and staggered."Are you okay?" Danny rushed to steady her.Her hand was on her forehead. "Pains. I think I need morphine or something," she said.It would have been easier if they were in a hospital and not a clubhouse. It would be hard to find one around here.Not wanting to quench her hopes, "Let's go find a more safer place then maybe in the morning we will look for medication or someone who can help." he reassuringly provided.The girl was hesitant at first as she grew silent but she finally nodded and said the bitter truth."That is if I am still alive by then. I am so fucked up Danny, can't you see?" She sounded bizarre and pained. Danny could only be useless and could only accord her nothing but pity. "You will survive this. You are the one that has been keeping me going. It is from your energy and enthusia
“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
