Chambers of the Dead

The Journey

As the 6 if us travel to the bottom of Florida trying to find my parents we came across some crazy, fun, yet risky side tasks on the way. A lot of the things we do as teens are so outrageous that i expect no one to believe me but it really happened. Knowing we need more weapons than just knives we roam around the city looking for a gun shop that was near by. We found it eventually after 30 mins of driving. We went trough the front door and as we had expected the store was practically empty. There were guns and some ammo left though so we grabbed then and put them in a duffel bag that we got from my neighborhood. The only bad thing about guns is, if what movies say about zombies are true. Noise attracts them. So we were hoping to find suppressors but we had no luck. But go figure Chase opens a refrigerator and finds 9 suppressors. "How did you..." interrupting me Chase states "Video games OP." i laugh and i respond. "Ya i guess this is a situation where video game logic does make sense." we grab what we need and we take off, while driving mark and I unhinge a few of the seats since we wont need them and we could use the space to store what we gather on our way to the southern islands of Florida. while Robert drives down US 19 we look around for anyplace we could stop and scavenge around in.

    45 minutes later we find a Walmart parking lot to park in. We were sure that the Walmart would be crawling and sure enough it was. "What do we do? There's no way we can handle all of these zombies." Cyrus questions. We look around and we found a military jeep to our surprise. Looking in it I found a flare and a grenade. as i hold the grenade up with a grin on my face i say, "We're going to blow them sky high, but we have to use this wisely because we don't get a second chance at this, we don't even know if we're going to find another grenade." so as we compose an idea on how to do that, Chase and Justin look around for another entrance before we use a grenade on that when we could use it in worse situations. They come back and report that they didn't find any way in without setting off alarms. "So what I came up with is, we use the flare to group up the zombies and then we pull the pin and toss it as close to the middle of the hoard as we can. Robert since your a better thrower than we are you can throw the grenade, ill go in and toss the flare. When you pull the pin count to 4 and toss it, it will blow up at 10 ticks. everyone else sit back and enjoy the show, Any questions? No? Lets do this." So we do as planned, i go in quietly with backup of course, like i need to be tackled to the ground by a zombie for a third time. Mark volunteered to cover me, I look for an open spot for all the zombies to group up at. "There's a spot over there, but no way are all the zombies are going over there. I'll sit here and you go tell the rest and Robert that I'm going to pull them over to the area yelling, what i need you to do is, when i start doing so, i need you to knock over shelves to box them in while i jump out. Ok?"  Mark nods, and he heads over to the group explaining the new plan. He comes back and signals me."Here goes nothing." I run out and start yelling, and to my demise it worked, they start to follow me, I run towards the open area, and things thankfully go according to plan. i lay the flare down, Mark boxing them in, "Robert pull the pin, Now!" i yell, Robert with a dirty look responds "No get outta there I'll throw it then." replying back, "if you don't throw it now we're all dying."  Thankfully he listened and pulled it, counted to four and threw it. As i see the grenade land in there, i haul out and literally dolphin dive behind a counter, and wait. The zombies trying to get out of the trap, don't have the chance to, and 5 seconds later the grenade explodes and half of the roof collapsed in on me. Everyone yelling in horror thinking i'm dead comes to lift the parts of roof that was covering me up. Little did they know that i was fine. i wasn't hurt nor hit. Chase and Justin the first ones to get to me, both almost crying make sure I'm ok. I say "Guys, I'm fine i wasn't hit or hurt, I'm ok." Thankful, they back off and gather themselves together. "Well we did it." i say cheerfully. "We can hold off here for a small bit, look around for food, clothes, anything really, its a freiken Walmart." I pull over Justin and Chase to ensure to them that I'm ok, I expected that it would've affected them most all since we've been friends longest, and they've never really seen me take a beating like that.
