CHAPTER 47: THE CUNNING ESCAPE
THE CUNNING ESCAPE
With cold pragmatism, you push the survivor aside, his weak protests drowned out by the rising growls of the undead. You scramble through the jagged opening, ignoring the pang of guilt gnawing at your conscience. Behind you, the survivor struggles, trying to follow but hindered by his injuries. The growls intensify, and you can hear the shuffling footsteps of the zombie horde closing in.
Once outside, the harsh sunlight momentarily blinds you, but there’s no time to adjust. You turn to see the survivor still trapped in the rubble, trying desperately to crawl through. The first zombie reaches him, grabbing at his leg with a skeletal hand. He cries out, the sound echoing in the desolate landscape.
Your heart pounds, torn between the instinct to run and the remnants of humanity urging you to help. The zombies are almost upon him, more emerging from the shadows of the crevice. You know you have seconds, maybe less, to make a decision.
