Dranka opened his eyes with a start. The nightmares seem to have gotten worse. Of course this was expected, after all he still hadnāt left the nightmare he was living through.
He sauntered over to the window and checked the sun. āMidday, damn it I oversleptā he thought to himself. Ever since he ran out of batteries for his alarm he has been having trouble waking himself up. He packed up his bedroll and sword, as he always did every morning.
He slowly opened his door and looked for any undead, it was clear. He managed to get to the street with no trouble, reminding himself to remember the building in case he every came back to this part of the city.
After about half an hour of travel he realized that he hadnāt seen any zombie, which seemed strange considering the place was crawling with them the night before. Something must be drawing them away. He knew that he probably should stay away from what ever was attracting them, but curiosity got the better of him and he started to move to the centre of the city, where he could get a good view of the whole city.
As he approached the centre, he heard the low growl which meant a large amount of zombies, probably moving in a group. Then he heard something he didnāt expect, a high pitch scream of pain. He broke into a sprint as the scream got louder. He rounded a corner and saw hundreds of zombies converging on a certain point. He stopped where he was and backed around the corner so he couldnāt be seen. He estimated at least 300 and at the centre of them he something very unexpected indeed, 6 people, normal people. They were covered in bite marks and scratchs and running as fast as they could, though Dranka knew from experience that they were goners. So with a dismal heart he started to run in the opposite direction to the small horde and broke into a jog, hoping to distance himself as much as possible.
