Snippet #1004362

Keith crouched in the shadows of the building, he could hear the monsters stumbling about. He heard some feasting on a man, or woman, that got too cocky and thought he, or she, might be able to kill a large amount of the monsters. He wouldn't make that mistake, he was smarter than the other... well some of the others. But he knew well enough not to be a fool, and try to kill a large amount of the creatures. Eventually the sounds of the stumbling corpses, and organs being ripped out of a body silenced. He was far enough away not to hear them, now.

As he continued onward he thought of standing up, but no he wouldn't. He was lucky they hadn't found him yet... they say they can smell fear. And he wasn't going to take a chance of standing up and being a tall, six foot three, beacon of fear. He was going to have to live with crouching. Eventually he found a door, bathed by the sunlight through one of the boarded up windows in the building he was in. Now that he looked through the window he wondered why he even walked into the building. It was a stupid idea in the first place. But he was smart, he knew how to hide in the building. After all the monsters weren't that smart, he had a couple close calls though. He wasn't dumb enough to use the revolver when a zombie noticed him, he would just smash the head in with a hammer. He moved over to the door, his eyes glinting in the sunlight that bathed the door.

As he opened the door, he felt his skin start to warm up he was covered by light now. He hoped nothing looked this way, yes, that would be horrible. He looked behind him and heard a faint shuffling in the hallway he was just previously in. I need to get away from these... things! They are everywhere, I mean I was just there a couple seconds again. They could of found me! He thought. He was going to have to take the chance of standing up and running. He pushed himself up with his leg muscles, it was hard work considering he had been crouching for a while. He took a second to decide which way to run, then he took off in the left direction. He always went left, it was just where he went, he had worked out for him so far.

He ran off into the sunset, the door creaking shut as he ran. This was going to be another long day in Jersey, yes a long day indeed. Already a close call with one of those monsters. As he ran his stomach growled, he didn't know if he could offer some food for it to shut up. Anything that made noise near him could get him killed. He took a second to stop and think about what to to at a building that used to be a school, but now it was just an abandoned area made of concrete and bricks with more undead lurking in the halls. He looked off into the distance, as he thought about the world as it was now, and he caught the sight of a convenience store. Those stores are small, and not many people would go there during an apocalypse, like this. I might have to go in, so I can eat and so my stomach doesn't give me away to those man-eating monsters.
