5. Breaking

Sophie could sense the danger around her so she wasted no time in running towards the store room to get something; anything that she could use for a self defence.

On rushing to the storeroom the first thing that caught her eye was a thick iron rod. She picked it up but then kept it back as quickly as she had picked it up thinking that it won't be enough to deal with zombies considering her physical strength.

She was running her eyes over the things in the storeroom when her eyes fell on an sharp axe. It was probably the best option considering the situation. As she was about to pick it up she heard a loud thud voice as if someone is trying to break the back door...

While she was rushing back to the backdoor with the axe she remembered reading it online that if you are fighting against zombies then it's best to aim for their head inorder to kill them.
actually if you think it this way then it won't be considered killing because they are already dead !

The back door was shaking..
Someone was definitely trying to break in..
And then__

There was another blow followed by a growling sound which was making her uneasy... she could sense that something bad is going to happen, in the worst scenario the zombies from outside breaking into the house and biting and tearing her into pieces..

She wasn't sure if the growling was coming from near the door or from a distance... her senses were becoming numb.. she was terrified! The banging on the door was consistent, the door was on the verge of breaking... only a few more blows were needed and the door would have broken.

She was trying to think about something that could save her.. she thought of locking herself in any of the rooms but that planned would have failed because if they were capable of breaking such a strong wooden backdoor then the other doors would stand no chance.

She could neither hide on the terrace nor escape from the house because that would also kill her. She had nowhere to run. She had to fight against whatever was behind the door which was like a ticking bomb that was about to explode any moment.

She took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the axe..

Ring... Ring....Ring....

Her phone started ringing out of no where..

She removed the phone from her pocket and saw the caller id..
It was her brother..
Sophie knew this very well that there were very few chances of her surviving considering the fact that the backdoor would break within another 3-4 blows...

It was possible that this call could be her last, the thought itself made her overwhelmed with sadness.

James: "Hey sis I'll be able to reach home by tomorrow morning. Until then take care and stay safe."

She wanted to cry but she controlled herself.

Sophie: " You know even though I used to fight with you for silly things ..i love you...a lot. I-I just hope everything goes back to normal... I want our family to be always happy.."

James:What's wrong ? Are you ok? Hello?? Hello???

The call is disconnected.

Her brother tried calling her but her phone was switched off.
