while still holding the flaming mop in front of her to keep the creatures at bay. When she had reached the door she quickly went out the door and slammed it shut behind her, only to find herself in an alleyway.
                  "Now where do I go!" she shouted as she ran with her flaming mop. That was when she looked out on the street to find that there were no creatures, but suddenly she heard the door behind her give way and a whole bunch of the creatures were giving chase. Without even looking where she was going she ran into the next store that she saw and slammed the door shut.
                  "Where the hell am I now?" she said as she looked around only to suddenly feel relief. "Maybe there is a higher power looking out for me after all!" She grabbed Maria's cross and kissed it.
                  As she looked around she found that she was in a guns and ammo store. She had never been a huge fan of firearms but she had been to the shooting range a few times, so she thought she knew the basics well enough. At any rate she had just found herself the perfect refuge in a terrible situation.
                  She looked around and quickly picked up a handgun and began loading ammunition into it, aiming it at the door and standing there ready to attack. As soon as the creatures began pounding on the door she began firing into the frame, provoking louder shrieking from the creatures, but they appeared to keep coming!
                  "Don't you damn things die when you get shot!" she screamed as she continued firing the gun, before reloading and firing some more. Then she thought to herself maybe they weren't fully alive to begin with. "Maybe I just need more firepower."
                  Putting down the handgun, she quickly grabbed a shotgun and started loading shells into it. As the first of the creatures managed to push in the door she responded by aiming the shotgun directly at its chest and firing, blasting a hole straight through the creature, but apparently not killing it.
                  "Oh for fuck's sake!" she said as she fired another shot into the creature's stomach. The creature continued shrieking loudly and spilling some type of fluid, that she wasn't quite sure was blood or not all, over the floor. "Why won't you die!" she shouted as she finally blew the creature's head off, causing it to fall to the floor and immediately begin liquefying and evaporating. So that's why there are no bodies, she thought to herself.
                  More creatures began barging through the doorway and she began to fire into the chest of one, and it went through the creature's body and hit the others behind it as well. The creatures continued coming as she continued firing until she realized she was out of ammo. A creature came running towards her but luckily she was able to grab a hunting knife and stab it in the throat, but it still continued violently hissing at her face and spitting blood in it.
                  "Gross!" she shouted as she pushed the knife deeper into its throat before falling to the floor and kicking the creature off of her, then running into the back room where she quickly closed and locked the door.
                  "What do we have in this room?" she said as she looked around. That's when she saw that she had hit the jackpot. Hanging on the wall was a flamethrower! She quickly took it down, aimed it at the door, and waited patiently for the creature to break it down, before letting loose with a burst of fire that caused the creature to scream out in agony before falling to the ground and melting right in front of her.
                  Feeling more confident she began to walk forward, training the flamethrower on the five other creatures and reducing them to puddles that immediately evaporated. Finally the creatures all seemed to have been defeated, but off in the distance she could still
