Choose Your Own Zombie Adventure

Goose Chase

You throw your car into reverse.

You know, logically, somewhere in your mind, that that monster is too wounded to pose any real threat. But you still don't want it anywhere near your family, your house, your pets, your lawn.

You drive at a pretty low speed as the broken body toddles after you.

It's boring and uneventful, until you look back and notice there are two, then three, then ten behind you. Every time you look the zombies, because they have to be zombies, have multiplied. And they don't care for going slow. You speed up.

But the mounting numbers doesn't mean an easy escape. Some are dropping down from second stories, some are climbing out from under cars, to chase after you.

Your panic mounts and you speed up. You take a curve a little too fast and feel your cars center of gravity shift. But it's fine, because ahead of you is another mass of zombies and you're going to have to speed up even more.

You push your foot down, watching the tachometer, flirting with the red zone as you jolt back in your seat.

You don't even notice the other vehicle when it runs the stop sign.

When it rams into you.

It's funny really, you think. The hundreds of eyes watching you roll across the street and smash into the power pole.

Oh no! You've died
