Rue's eyes flicked back and forth as she tried to predict the hoard of zombie's next move. She clutched the gun close to her chest, sweat beading down her forehead and neck. Deciding that she was bound to die at some point, she might as well go down fighting.
Running out from behind the wall, she yelled a battle cry to gain the attention of the zombies. She pulled the trigger without even knowing if they had heard her. Rue paused and stared in horror as the zombies started stumbling towards her, blood and spittle flying from their decaying mouths as they let out inhumane screams.
Rue bolted in the opposite direction, even if the zombies couldn't run, they had strength in numbers. She ran and ran until she felt as though her legs couldn't carry her anymore. Her breathing became choppy and laboured as she started to slow down. Squinting, she could see a warehouse in the distance and thought she would find a spot to settle down for the night before going back to fighting for her life against a army of the undead.
