Infected: Chapter XVIII

Holy Crap! A disembodied zombie just jumped at my freaking face!? Time slows down again, ( why does this keep happening?! ) I get a decent check up on this zombie's status in the zombie scale, normal zombie = 1, body builder = 7.5, metal zombie = 9 and me being a 10. This zombie looks to be about an 8.5. The obvious feature of this zombie is its lolling and uncontrollable tongue, its is rolling and flapping like the waves of a sail. Its skin is jet-black and charred and burnt, somebody has tried to burn this thing with a molotov, I can smell the smoked vodka. I start to swing my steel bat at its head, "AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!" I moan, time speeds up again, I mistime my hit and swing at air with my bat, just as I am tackled to the ground by the salivating, blood-thirsty zombie. Jess screams, "SH**!!" she comes to her senses and whips out her nailgu- GRRRR-AAAA the zombie attempts to bite part of my face off, I stuggle with its head in my hands, the zombie feels sticky and slimy, Jess finally shoots her gun, B-BANG-BANG-BANG-B-BANG, "F**K!!" I boom, Jess has shot me in the goddamned leg!?! I lose grip of the zombie, trying to clutch my knee. The zombie pounces on my face, CRUNCH! The zombie bit a part of my face out! ( Second time this month!! ) I slap the zombie in the face, it sprints a few metres away from me, shocked but enraged. I use my time to tear the nail out of my kneecap, "SH**!!" I try to hide the pain as the zombie leaps at me again, it sprints at me, its strong legs pumpin- the zombie is walking on its arms?! I quickly have a sneak peek around the zombie, nothing. This zombie has no legs?! Kate has snapped out of it and bounded over to the half-zombie, I leaps at me again, just as Kate smashes it in the spine with her crowbar, at the same time as Jess unleashes a flurry of nails through the head of the disembodied zombie. I fall to the ground in shock, I have my head on the bare, bloody concrete, I am staring into endless space and time as Kate, John and Jess crowd in a circle above my head. My vision fades and I pass out from the shock, just as Jess leans over me swiftly and pecks me on my bloody, bitten cheek.
