Chapter Four

I felt the force of the gun all the way to my shoulders. It was a powerful handgun that had quite a bit of kickback. But the vibrations in my bones felt good.

I managed to get a Feeder directly in the back of the head without hitting Hendrix or Vaughan. I pulled myself up to my knees, feeling a little bit more confident now that I knew the gun would work. And then I kept shooting.

And the Parker’s kept swinging.

My gun ran out of bullets and I quickly loaded it again. Five in the chamber and then five in various body parts of the Zombies.

I didn’t get them all in the head and I couldn’t really shoot at the ones close to Vaughan or Hendrix, but I kept the ones on the fringe from ever reaching them. I had to.

Vaughan and Hendrix were identical in their brutality. Their bodies were both equally unforgiving and unrepentant as they pounded hit after hit into Zombie after Zombie. They worked as a team flawlessly. There was a steady stream of blood that seemed to be constantly flying through the air and the smell was choking in its pungency.

I heard the sound behind me before I felt the presence of another Feeder.

By the time I’d managed to spin around on my knees the huge beast of a Zombie already had me in his sights. He took off running at a lumbering gate from an office area about fifty feet away. The warm lighting from the sky lights above flashed over his putrefying, mangled face as he passed each one.

I pulled shakily to my feet and then aimed directly at the center of his face. My arms were straight out in front of me, my left supporting my right and when I felt confident I wouldn’t miss, I pulled the trigger.

His head reared up and his body jolted backward with the action, but to my horror his head snapped forward again and his cold, bloody stare met mine with a new kind of determination. He shook his body as if to wake it up, his arms flinging around like dead wait. His head was bald of hair or beard and the bullet hole in the center of his forehead dripped blood down his eyes, over his nose and into his mouth, but he only licked at the sticky substance and seemed to grow hungrier.

Shit.

I swallowed down the intense feeling of panic and shot him again- and then again. I got him right in one of his eye sockets, leaving a huge, gaping black hole and then again in the opposite cheek. I could almost see all the way through his head. But while he paused with each impact of my bullet in his face he continued his trajectory toward me.

I pulled the trigger again, but nothing. I was out of bullets.

He swayed to the right and then to the left and I could see that I was wearing him down, but I couldn’t finish
