Day 6 - Uptown Motel
Nothing surrounded her but twiggy winter struck trees, this proposed an issue or two – one being if she wandered through the forested area it would be very easy to become lost, second being that no leaves on the trees meant there were dried dead leaves on the ground – doesn’t take a fricken genius to know that when you walk on leaves they rustles and crack – noise.
Standing there with a look of concern on her face she made a quick check list of things she needed to find – and needed to find quickly.
‘Medical supplies- just in case, A jacket – being from the south-west coast she wasn’t prepared for the cold, A more bulky weapon, and flares.’
Wal-mart would have these things, so would any hunting goods store, even a tourist shop.
As she stood there and weighed out her options she figured a hunting shop would be the best bet, they would have all sorts of goodies for survival – but where to find it, or if Rivers Glenn even had one, who knows, and if they did – if there were any others living – how many living would she have to kill in order to access the store?
The moans and groans seemed to pick up pace around the motel as if they could hear her thoughts, feel her heart beating. With a quick turn of her head she noticed her truck, it seemed to be in fairly good shape – minus the shattered windows – and dead body on the hood. She couldn’t drive it, but maybe she had a map, or could use her GPS quickly, even get her phone to try and get ahold of Dr. Alex.
‘How to get to the car, how to get to the car…’ sneaking closer to the edge of the roof Leeanna peered down, a wide sickening smile of self-worth gleaming over each pretty feature. Slinging her bag across her torso she began quietly shuffling down the drain pipe, jumping the last four feet and landing in a crouch, those big brown eyes glistening as they stared at the backup generator, which looked like it hadn’t been used in years.
Snaking towards the massive rusted piece of machinery her little fingers gripped the handle, eyes flashing to look about the area, no zombies seen - they were mostly gathered around the front door and windows, she quickly mapped out her escape, and heaved on the pull string.
Another rip of the handle.
Glug glug glug.
“come on… come on…”
Pulling with all her might
Glug glug followed by a slight rumbling which quickly died out.
All this noise had drawn attention; she could hear the lazy feet of zombies shuffling to come around the house.
Rule: Never expect your plans to go right – Never panic.
Another heave, this time all her strength put into it, a pull hard enough to land her right on her ass, and the generator roared to life. The sound intoxicating, loud enough for a good mile radius to hear in such a silence of the town, good enough to draw all mindless zombies in the area.
Pushing to her feet and darting into the woods Leeanna ran east, dipped around south, and ran to the car, if they did pick up her scent it would take them in the wrong direction first, buying her some time.
Reaching her wrangler she carefully opened the door, small shards of glass hitting the ground, reaching inside she dug through her glove box, pulling out a country wide map, her steering club was gone, cellphone gone, clothes gone, everything… gone. “FUCK!” cursed as her booted foot slammed into the side of the truck in frustration.
Without another thought she tucked the map under her arm and took off down the long road she had to drive in on.
It leads to a main road, which would be a good place to start.
