The Aftermath

Silence

Although I enjoy the peace and quiet, compared to the busy sounds of people and the city, something seems off.
It's almost 𝚝𝚘𝚘 quiet...

Then, I hear it.
The shrilling scream of a woman in, what sounds to be, excruciating pain.

I follow the noise.
It appears to have been coming from an old, abandoned building.

Is it just me, or does this seem like a classic movie situation? Y'know, the type where you always scream at the character on the TV, 'STOP! Dont go in there! You're making a mistake' ?

Well, right now that dialogue is 𝚎𝚡𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚕𝚢 what's playing through my mind. I decide to push those thoughts aside and hope for the best.
I cautiously enter the building, my senses on high alert.

I come to the room in which the women can be heard screaming from.
A horde of zombies are attacking her.
There's nothing I can do.

I go to leave, ashamed and disheartened that I couldn't help. I'm pulled from my thoughts when I feel something tug on my arm... or more like someone.

A zombie is seen clutching my right arm with such intensity, I fear I'll lose blood circulation. And use if that arm entirely.
I struggle within its grasp in an attempt to escape.
I successfully do so, running as fast as my legs will carry me.

I rush to the exits.
But, just to my luck,  more zombies have gathered into a horde and have blocked off all possible means of escape from the building.

I explore further to double check. But, to my prevail, i was not so fortunate, and the zombies appeared to be closing in, coming in my direction.
I'm surrounded.
I have no chance of escaping.
I'm going to die here...

No Elle, no. Dont think like that.
Okay, plan time.
If I do in fact attempt to leave now, I might just be able to get far away enough for me to reach safety.  I decide to take the risk and make a run for it.
Bad idea.
I'm ambushed by a group of zombies and knocked to the ground.
I think to myself,' This is surely the end. If only I hadn't been so stupid and reckless...'
I've lost all hope.
The zombies are closing in.
I have no way to protect myself.
I guess... this is the end.
Goodbye world, it's been great being here...
