Survive!

The Mutant Woods

I quickly started running to the direction of my safe house.

"If I make it out of this shit hole of a place I swear I'll change my ways", I muttered.

As I took deep breaths and leaned on a tree to take a quick smoke break,to disintegrate the thoughts of killing my younger brother.

It feels like yesterday since my brother Colt died, and it all happened in these woods.

We were heading home from looting the E-Z mart, it was a big loot, and being greedy we decided to take a surplus of goods. Being 14 the bags were heavy for colt to carry, I tried helping him with some of the bags but my hands were full and it was getting dark so we had to hurry.

We rushed home but we both knew we wouldn't be back before dark.

As we finally reached this Mutant woods,we heard a loud screeching sound so we kept silent.

Both of us began to dash being that we were now close to the exit of the woods.

As we were running the noise grew louder and louder, and suddenly I heard a loud scream.

It was my brother, getting dragged by some mutant creature.

I quickly dropped the bags and withdrew my Lancer, cranked up the chain saw and rushed at the brute.

As I rushed the brute, it quickly bit my brothers arm and my brother began to cry in agony.

I fired the Lancer wounding the brute and sending it fleeing.

I quickly ran to my brother, helped him on his feet and as I began to run home, it realized my little brother just stood and looked at me deranged.

His skin had changed similar to the brute I battled earlier.

As I came forward my brother began to attack me, and pulled at my jacket dragging me.

I uncertainly grabbed my blade from its holster, and stabbed my brother in the head.

"Colt", I muttered.
