Snippet #1280870

John breathed heavily as a screech ripped through the night. He ran through an ally-way the audible clanging of metal was heard as a hooded figure leapt from fire-escapes to air conditioners gaining on John quickly. John continued to run not looking back. Only when John was posotive that the hunter had gained enough ground John spun around with his shotgun ready. Continuing to back up John tripped over a brick. As John fell to the ground he counted his blessings. The hunter sailed inches over him hitting a garbage can with a distinct thunk.

John pushed up from the ground, and fired at the dazed hunter. The beast managed to get half of another scream out before the buck-shot hit him in the head. John rubbed the sweat off of his forehead, and continued to move, other infected individuals would've heard the gun shots. Atleast that was what John thought.

He exited the ally way quickly, and continued to back up once he saw a figure step out of a near by seven eleven. John narrowed his eyes, and slowly left the allyway. His shot-gun was lowered, but he was prepared to fire if he needed to. As John grew closer he could distinctly makeout the figure to be a young woman. She appeared to be uninfected, but John had been fooled before. Johns silent jog came to a stop a reasonable distance away.

Keeping his voice low enough as a safety precaution John spoke. "Hello?" He ventured.
