Chapter 9

Alice punched the zombie.

She punched it in the damn face.

“Hurry up and die!” She screamed.

“That’s not helping,” she heard Mark grunt. She wished he would shoot the fuckers, but she knew he couldn’t get a clear shot. He wanted to kill them, not maim her.

There were two on top of her and she was doing her best to keep them away, but they had already scratched her. She hoped their nails hadn’t broken her skin.

She’d be infected if that happened, right?

She’d turn into one of the monsters.

Alice wasn’t ready to die. She had been, just a few hours ago. She’d been ready to see her little brother and hang out with him again. She’d been ready to say goodbye to the cruel environment she was living in now. She was ready to quit.

Then Mark had happened.

Then Mark had happened and he’d reminded her without any words at all what it felt like to be a woman.

He’d reminded her why the sun kept rising every morning.

He’d reminded her why the stars shone so brightly.

She didn’t like the idea that this good, amazing thing had happened between them and now she was going to die from a zombie attack. She hated it. She hated knowing that once again, they had been so close to hope, but they’d lost it. They’d lost their hope.

The Infected growled as they pushed their bodies against her. Alice tried to wiggle away from beneath them and managed to get out of the line of fire. Mark nailed one on the head with a shovel and the fucker immediately stopped moving.

“Nice shot,” she cried, reaching for something to hit the other one with. Her hand closed around something hard and heavy. She could barely lift it, but she had to try. She swung it without looking at it and was pleased when the Infected was knocked away. It kept moving, though. She hadn’t killed the creature. Alice glanced at the weapon in her hand.

“You can kill a zombie with a crowbar, but you can’t take one out with a sledgehammer?” Mark asked. He was hitting the other two in the head, making sure they were really dead.

“It was a bad shot.” Alice got to her feet and lifted the hammer once more. This time, she brought it down right on the fucker’s head and heard his skull split open with a satisfying crack.

She had done it.

They had done it.

They had survived.

“Three down,” she said, glancing at the open door to the house. Did they dare bother going inside? After all of this work, she felt like they owed it to themselves to wander inside. They owed it to themselves to have a little bit of fun. After all that work, she wanted a fucking beer and maybe a joint, if they could ever get lucky and find one.

“I’m tired,” Mark said.

“I don’t know if I can fight any more,” Alice agreed. Her arms hurt. Her body was sore. Her arms were covered in scratches and that worried her.
