her. She ducked behind a tree. Shit! More gunshots hit the tree.
A moan caught her attention. The zombies were closing in on her. They didn’t seem to care that bullets were flying around. They only seemed to care about her. Shit! Shit! Shit!
She jumped and ran as fast as her injured leg would carry her. A hail of bullets followed her. Thank god these guys can’t shoot, she thought. She looked over her shoulder. The zombies were a good 50 yards in her dust.
She glanced in the direction of the gunfire. A couple of the men were chasing her, while the guy with long hair and another guy stayed where they were to continue shooting at her. The zombies were between her and the guys with guns.
Jackson could hear the gunfire coming from the woods. It wasn’t a lot, but it was close. He also heard the girl scream.
“Go down and get Sergeant Brown,” he ordered. Mike complied without hesitating.
A minute later the big NCO and Sgt Procell followed Mike onto the roof. All four men were armed with rifles. The three soldiers had M-16 military rifles, and Mike with the Mini-14. They all instinctively took cover as they crept toward the edge of the roof.
“There,” Sgt Procell pointed.
A girl broke from the trees. She was wearing a purple and gold t-shirt, her long dark hair flowing behind her as she sprinted towards them. The zombies in the parking lot were moving at an oblique angle away from her. They were moving towards the gunshots. They didn’t see her.
She was behind them now. None had seen her. She ran for the LMTV.
“Get a rope down to her,” Sgt Procell yelled.
Soon they pulled her to the roof and safety. She threw her arms around Sgt Procell and immediately collapsed. She would not wake up for several hours
Jackie could see the break in the trees and the road beyond. She felt a wave of relief come over her. She could move faster on the road. She could…
She let out a scream as her left shoulder suddenly felt like it had been hit with a hot baseball bat. She pitched forward at the edge of the woods. She tried to get up. Her left arm wouldn’t work when she told it to move. She kicked with all of her might with her feet.
Looking back, she could see the zombies closing the distance quickly to her. Panicked, she kicked again and again. She made it to the road before she realized that the road was filled with more monsters.
Pvt Jackson was the first to fire. Later he’d regret that decision. His bullets struck several of the zombies closest to the girl, but not in the head. The zombies closed on her. She struggled to her feet, leaning on a tree. She weakly swung her knife in a wide arc. It connected with the neck of one of her assailants without doing much more than knocking the knife out of her weakened grip.
She shoved her hand under the zombie’s jaw and shoved as hard as she could. She was barely able to keep its teeth away from her. A second zombie grabbed the girl by the head, pulling it towards its mouth. She dropped to the ground, freeing herself from the monster’s grip.
At this point, she could hear gunshots again. They were farther away this time. Maybe someone was finally trying to help her. She tried to roll to her right, but was unable to with her shattered left shoulder. She could feel the panic clouding her thoughts.
She shoved her feet under her hips and shoved. This only served to drop her right onto her face. She kicked again with her feet, they just dug little trenches into the dirt, not propelling her at all.
By now several zombies had arrived and were kneeling over her and grabbing her from different directions. She tried to curl into a ball. Ice cold hands grabbed anything they could on her body and began pulling her closer.
Finally the first bite came. It was on her neck, just above the bullet wound on her back. She screamed. Then she felt another bite,
