Loss
Chapter 3
BOOM! Another gunshot rings out from somewhere in the mall, following that was a scream. A scream that has a primal backing to it, the kind of scream you know means a loved one has died. Quickly after the screams, there was another loud bang and the screaming ended. The mayor 2 hours earlier issued a statement that all citizens need to report to the mall, so that we can have a town wide meeting about the quarantine. By the time we got there, it was a bloodbath. The walls were caked with fresh blood, and guts. Intreales trailed into every corner almost like a monster came in and killed the all the people who passed by the center fountain, then played with their corpses like a young child playing with there toys. Lily quickly covered Mary's eyes, and clutched my shoulder. She then looked at me, she was as scared as a human could be and she looked at me with a tear coming out of her eyes like she was begging for me to get them out of here. I got the message and grabbed her hand, we started to run from the way we came. The glass sliding doors were just popping into view as we ran around the corner, but on the other side there was a man in a police uniform and he looked like he just walked back out of the gates of hell. The police officer had a glock 22 held in his hand, at first sight of us he turns and fires 6 shots. I close my eyes and jump in front if Lily, I hit the floor and open my eyes. I wasn't hit and I stopped for a second not believing what just happened, I raised my rifle and shot one round into the man's chest. The officer falls onto his knees and blood sprays out of his mouth, I quickly load another round into Daisy and fires a 2nd round into his chest. The pig flies back and is motionless lying on the floor, he has blood pouring out of the new holes in his body. I get up quickly and look at Lily, laying there and watch as she holds Mary's body. Dark blood pours out of 4 spots in her body and she starts to cough up blood and says."Is Mary ok? Please tell me Mary is ok". I stop and look at my child with a deep exhale worried about if I will have to outlive my own kin,I look and there are 2 deep holes in her body. She lies there motionless and not breathing, I stop and drop Daisy then fall on my knees holding my dying wife and dead child.
