WHEN NOT TO ACT RASHLY

When Alison had stormed away from Max, she could barely see past her tears. She had meant to get to the storage room, but she was too distracted by her own despair. She stormed through several doors and down a hall without thinking. Then she was outside.

She had decided to go back inside before she saw the skeleton; the arrival of the monster just cemented her resolve to get back to safety. The only problem was, there was a second skeleton behind her. She hadn’t seen it when she’d stomped outside, and now it moved between her and the door.

Why does this keep happening? Alison stumbled backward, feeling in her pack for her bow. Her hand closed around her helmet first, and she fumbled it onto her head for a tiny bit of protection. Then she grabbed her bow, feeling the rough wood that indicated it needed some repairs. Would it last long enough to keep her alive?

The skeleton between her and the door raised its sword and began to hurry toward her. She raised her bow in return, knowing she’d be lost if it got within range of hitting her. She heard some clacking and remembered the skeleton entering the canyon. She checked over her shoulder and saw more skeletons coming in behind the first.

She turned slightly so she could see both of the first two skeletons out of the corners of her eyes. She took another step backward and loosed an arrow toward the closer skeleton. The shot went wide, and even more skeletons appeared. “I really hate it here,” she mumbled.

An arrow whizzed by her cheek. So much for hoping they had only swords, then.

She headed backward toward the canyon wall, releasing more arrows, seeing some skeletons fall, but the satisfaction she might have felt was quickly dampened by the new enemies that took their place.

Life was more important than her pride, so she gritted her teeth. “Max? Freya? Help?” she called weakly.

The skeletons edged closer, swords raised. They were close enough that she could see their square eye sockets. Alison nocked another arrow and let it fly. The skeleton between her and the secret door fell, so she dropped her bow and made a break for the door.

She was too far from it still, and the approaching skeletons swarmed her.
