Intro
The branches tugged on my skin, my adrenaline rushing and screaming for freedom. I clawed my way through the forest the loud gruesome groans of the dead dragging, racing after me desperate to sink its teeth in my neck. The thought made me run faster, not just by the walkers.

I was being chased by people.

I heard a gunshot echo throughout the forest causing me to look back and see where they were. My heart jumped out of my chest as I felt myself start to fall. I pushed my hands out to catch something until they landed on a thick piece of wood.

I gasped my eyes shocked from my hopes of saving myself. I laughed hysterically until I realized I heard footsteps getting closer. I pulled myself up hopping over the fence, racing off quickly my eyes scanning all around for any place to hide.

My eyes landed on a old abandon house with a barn next to it, my body jerked itself toward it immediately. I heard a yell across the forest only to feel a sharp object slice through my skin.

My eyes trailed down at an arrow sticking through my thigh, flesh and blood spewing out uncontrollably.

I covered my mouth and screamed into them to quiet myself from the severe pain, my body shook violently from the shock. I shut my eyes tightly and forced myself up from the ground my body aching to be laid across the grass and just lay there to rest and die. I refused forcing my body to run towards the front door.

I ran and limped to the door holding my thigh tightly with one hand as I slammed the door wide open my mind only focusing on hiding. I breathed and gasped loudly making objects fall, realizing I was in the kitchen. I raced toward the living room my eyes darting across to find a spot, suddenly I heard a shot and footsteps in the house
in the kitchen.

Fuck.

I'm screwed.
