(Wow, soooo long after my first post but here we go!)
Olive was dazed as she walked out onto the streets, leaving her mothers house behind. She didn't look back but kept her eyes firmly planted on the cement ground in front of her. Part of her just wanted to collapse right in the middle of this road and just sob. She bit her lip to try and resist, drew in a deep shaky breath, but she couldn't keep a small cry from coming out. However, her eyes produced no tears. She figured it must be due to how dehydrated she was. She seriously needed to find some water soon. As she stared at the ground, she saw that the snow was beginning to fall heavier and heavier, and the ground was starting to pile up with the white flakes. Olive stopped walking for a moment and looked down at the snow. It was fresh, only having just fell, so she reached down with her hands and scooped up some snow and licked it up, feeling much relief as it melted into a cool liquid and went down her throat. She reached down for some more, when suddenly a noise stopped her in her tracks. It sounded hauntingly familiar to the growls she had heard not long ago as she was slowly creeping down the hallway in her mothers house. Quickly reaching back for her gun and then whipping around, Olive saw that indeed one of the monsters was behind her. Biting down hard on her lip she held up her gun in front of her and squeezed the trigger, not surprised when she missed the first time. Her fear began to grow, this zombie seemed to be quite fast and was advancing rapidly towards her, and who was she kidding? She didn't know how to shoot a target, and if she ever managed to, it was pure luck. What if she didn't get lucky this time? Heart beginning to hammer, she pulled the trigger again and the bullet missed and instead shattered the window of a nearby house. The noise of breaking glass seemed to unnerve the zombie and it began to pick up it's pace even more. Feeling terror surging through her bones, Olive abandoned her attempts to shoot it down, turned around, and bolted.
