It was getting dark and Daniel was running out of shells. He did a quick head count, there were six flesh-eating animals outside trying to get in. he had only four shells left, he was going to have to improvise. There was a shovel in the closet, but there was an axe upstairs. He decided that he was going to use the shovel and opened the closet to find that there was no shovel. He cursed and ran upstairs to find the axe. He found the axe on the table near the stairs. He had only grabbed the axe when he heard the screams...
Daniel ran back downstairs to find a dog eating a pregnant woman’s leg. The dog was missing an eye and an ear, but the undead feel no pain. The dog was making quick work of the woman’s leg; it had already torn it to shreds all the way up to her knee. The pregnant woman was Daniel’s wife, Lacey.
He hurried over to the dog and slammed the axe in his hands downward on the dog’s head. The dog only fell to the floor; there was no howl or whimper. Daniel quickly took his shirt off and tied it on Lacey’s leg, just above her knee. He then handed her the axe and kissed her forehead.
“Stay here” He said
“Okay”
Daniel ran to the front door where he thought the hell dog may have entered, he was wrong. The window in the kitchen was where the house had been breached. The five other intruders were all trying to enter through the window at the same time. Daniel stood a few feet away from the window and emptied the last of his shells into the window.
All but one perished. One tall, slender-looking zombie that may have been a teenager was the remaining monster. He had black-red ooze dripping from his mouth and he rushed Daniel and pinned him to the floor, mouth wide open. Daniel quickly shoved the empty shotgun into its mouth and kicked him away. He frantically searched the kitchen with his eyes for anything that he could use for a weapon.
There was a half-full bottle of whiskey in the fridge that he was saving, that is what he chose. He quickly pulled the bottle out of the fridge and smashed it on the counter. Now he had the broken bottle by the neck and he sprinted towards the teenage zombie. He thrust the bottle into his temple and the monster slumped to the floor a bloody mess.
Remembering his wife’s situation, he ran back into the living room where his wife lay bleeding.
“I’m fine” She said
“No you’re not”
“I know”
“What are we going to do”
“I don’t know”
Lacey looked long and hard into her husband’s eyes. She looked terrified, scared, and worried.
“There is one more thing”
“What”
“My water broke”
“You mean”
“Yes”
“Oh God”
Daniel went to the downstairs bathroom and filled the tub with water. He then led his wife into the bathroom and sat her on the edge of the tub.
“This is no time for a bath” She said
“This is not for a bath”
“Then what’s it for”
“The child”
“What child”
“The one you are about to give birth to”
“You know I probably won’t survive this”
“Yes”
“Okay”
