I gag as i see the dead corpse hanging there as if it had been only killed hours ago. It's been tied up with a rope around its waist. I can feel the sting from the stench in my eyes and tiny beads of tears gather in the crooks of my eyes. This smells like when someone drops a spoiled egg.
I continue down the hallway while attempting to load the gun, the walls go from white to a deep red. Almost blood like.
The stench forces me to cover my nose with my sleeve. I get to a dead end and on the left side is a room.
Oh. My. God.
The entire room is filled with brown corpses. They look exactly like the two other brown things i had encountered.
I crumple to the ground as the disgusted corpses sink into my vision.
I sob into my legs and all the guns clatter to the floor. This is too much for me.
There for maybe 30 or 40 bodies. This isn't natural.
---
I jerk awake with a startle from the nightmare. I'm drenched in sweat and my heart is racing. I look around the room and find everyone else sleeping. In fear that the nightmare might come true I stay put in my room.
Then all of sudden a blaring ringing shakes through the room and willow leaps up out of her bed.
"What the fuck is that?" Georgie groans.
"I don't know." I shoot back covering my ear with my only hand and leaning my other ear into my neck.
We rush out of room grabbing our flashlight and meet the boys in the hallway. We run down the hallway to the steps and jump them 2 at a time.
The ringing stops as we enter the room with the ladder up.
We find 3 guns lying there on top of the boxes from which we found the flashlights in.
"Where the hell did these come from?" Georgie asks timidly.
"Don't look at me," Steve warns and Georgie narrows her eyes at him.
"I wasn't looking at you." Georgie mumbles. "Self-centered ass."
"OK now let's just take these guns and leave this bunker. It gives me the creeps." I say.
"Agree." They all say in unison.
We grab the guns and one by one we climb up the ladder. I have to shield my eyes from the bright sun beating down on me.
"It's around noon," Damon says.
"Yea we have about 8 hours to find camp-" Georgie starts.
"PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND DROP THE WEAPONS!" A man yells pointing a gun at us.
We drop our weapons and put our hands up surrendering. There are about 6-7 men surrounding us, we are utterly screwed.
"Is this your bunker?" I ask bravely.
"Yes." A man spits.
"So these must be yours?" I ask.
"No- wait, GODDAMIT JERRY! You left guns down there! What did we tell you!" A man yells at another man.
"I'm sorry sir, i forgot." A man sniffles.
"Your damn right you forgot!" The man yells and slap who I'm assuming is jerry up against the head.
