There is was, the first growl of the morning. I hadn't slept, hadn't even found a place where I could hide. I had been running all night without even the slightest satifaction of stopping.
The light of the sun, bringing out the darkness for a few hours. I shook my head, slowing to a slight jog. My legs were throbbing and my feet felt like pin-cusions. It was the first time I hadn't been able to find a place to hide. Usually I could duck into a tornado shelter, or an apartment for a night, having barricaded the door but tonight was different.
My carelessness was something that was catching up with me today. I hadn't eaten in days, and the twinkie that was still in my pocket I was saving for something like saftey. I coughed quietly, trying to keep my foodstepps silent as I thomped through the cool morning.
The street I happened to be running parallel with was silent, there were no infected in sight. Their sounds were everywhere. It was disturbing, but I was used to it. I mean, what was there to care about besides Zombies and kooks?
My breathing was ragged as I came to a stop. It was unnormal to be able to stop for a breather, but I assumed it was just me being be. They ran, and fast. I couldn't outrun them most the time and if I did, I was simply lucky.
There was a screech, and my head shot up. Two stood infront of me, growling and snarling as if they had nothing better to do. Then they were off, after the fresh meat. I shook my head, darting back the way I had come. Maybe I could get away. If I fought I might go overboard. But what did it matter in the time of Zombies.
