Walking through that door was the biggest mistake anyone could have made, they should've had a sign next to the door saying WARNING:HELL IS THROUGH THIS DOOR. Because that is exactly what it was hell, it was fine for about twelve minutes then I hit that intersection.
As the man walked through the door the darkness seemed to be swallowing up all the light coming from his flashlight, and as he kept walking it seemed like his flashlight was doing less and less. Then he reached an intersection that had two wooden doors to the left and to the right, then there was a door straight ahead but this one was open not completely but about a quarter of the way. The man slid the magazine out of his pistol checked to make sure it was full then slammed it home with a satisfying click. He sheathed his knife reached down to his boot and unsheathed a even bigger knife, it was that much bigger but this time it had something tied to it the man pulled on a cord and a small flame turned on and started warming the blade, a little surprise for whomever charged at him. The man took two long steps to the door and shouldered it open but slowly. The door made a creaking noise but it wasn't that loud. The man took three steps into the room, it was an old bedroom it had a king size bed in the far corner two dressers on opposite sides and another door - opened - leading to a bathroom. The floor was wooden but there was a rug in the middle of a room with a couch against one wall and a bookshelf next to it. The man looked around for a second, as he was doing that he heard the sound of something hitting wood but couldn't find where it was coming from. He went to the wall that had nothing near or on it and put his ear to the wall. Right on que as soon as the man did so the wall split open into thousands of shards as a big mutant thing - like the one from outside - smashed through the wall and hit the man in his stomach which sent him flying, he hit the dresser, Hard. "Goddamn it, can this day get any worse!" And right on que another mutant came up behind the big guy "oh fuck off!" The man grabbed his rifle shot the small one in the head the *crack* was deafening in the small room he pulled back the bolt and let the next bullet fill the spot where the last bullet was resting and slammed the bolt home, grabbed the trigger and squeezed again but at the bigger guy. Both billets hit home the small mutant dropped dead instantly the bigger one kept coming so the man once again slid the bolt back then rammed it home and squeezed the trigger, it hit the mutant but it was still coming "oh what the hell!" The man shouldered his rifle reached behind his back under his coat and pulled out a grenade pulled the pin flipped the firing lever and threw it at the mutant, he then dived to his left as he hit the floor the floor shook as the grenade exploded and sent bits of wood and rotting flesh flying in all directions. The man got up quickly ran over to where he dropped his pistol and knife and checked the other room for anything else that wanted to kill him, nothing. The man went back to the door he can in with the intension of leaving the way he came, he sprinted down the hall since it was a straight shot, but as he reached the light the door was pulled shut and locked. The man pulled and pulled on the door " open this damn door you asshole!" He then stopped as a deafening screech filled the darkness. The man slowly turned around pistol and knife raised, as the man turned around the lights turned on blinding him.
