"Ok Grace just fill up that last spray bottle" I told her as we both quickly filled spray bottles with water from the bathroom sink. We can't afford to forget any spray bottles. They could make the difference between life and death. As we filled them up I heard Darcy scream out to me

"Chris there's some dead thingos coming." She said as she closed the bathroom door and locked it. I could hear them all running to the bathroom and we started to fill up the bottles quicker so that we could be prepared for what was about to happen. They banged on the door until they broke it down. We were all hiding in a toilet cubical waiting. We could hear them trying to find us. Grace was breathing heavily. I could see she was scared. I put my hand over her mouth and hugged her tightly.

The cubical toilet door swung opened and the undead began to try and get to us but we held them back by spraying them with water. They kept flooding in but there was nothing more we could do. Grace began to scream. Darcy was crying. We all knew that this was going to be the last few minutes of our lives. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to see the woman I love die a painful death before my eyes. I heard gunshots and the undead began to quiet down. I opened my eyes to find that the reason the undead had become quiet was because they had been officially put to rest. I stood and hugged Darcy and Grace tightly in my arms. The sound of their breath reassured me that they where still alive. I looked up to see the person who saved our lives. It was the hostess of the show.

"Your welcome." She said giving me a dirty look.

"Saving your life has been brought to you by ME! In association with the all new ford hover craft" she said as she gave me a fake smile and a wink.

"Really Hailey do you have to talk like that at a time like this?" Darcy asked with annoyance.

"I'm sorry. Thank you." She continued.

"How did you manage to survive. And where did you get that gun" I asked her. She began to explain how she used to be a personal hit man and that she was experienced in the art of murder.

"Brought to you by cleaver sharp 23.5. Sharpen your knife with ease with this amazing product just chuck your-" she said until interrupted by Grace.

"Listen woman you answer the friggen question NOW! I'm not staying in this hell hole to wait for my death! So stop crapping on about your stupid sponsors and help us out of here!" When she finished yelling we all starred at her in shock.

"That little melt down was brought to you by-" just before Hailey could finish another one of her stupid live up close and personal infomercials one of the mutants she had tried to kill sprung back to life and began attacking her. I grabbed the gun from her hands and shot both her and the undead in the head. My hands were shaking. Had I just committed murder or had I shot an animal. Either way I have never killed anything besides insects with bug spray. I felt as though I had done something terrible yet it was the only thing I could do to protect Darcy and Grace. I had no other choice.
