FIRE SALE

The sounds of anguish and death drew closer and closer. Gunshots and footsteps came near as Clint continued to guard Sarah and Dale in the otherwise empty food court. All the other bandits had run off to try to quell the zombie invasion, but it didn't sound like they were having any success.

Clint stood behind them with his assault rifle still pointing at their backs, and Sarah and Dale didn't dare to move. Their hands were taped behind their backs and they wouldn't have much of a chance to survive if Clint didn't make the smart decision and let them go.

"We should get out of here," Dale said to him, turning his head back to look at him.

"Just shut up!" Clint yelled. "Stay right there! Don't you move!"

Dale sighed, more in frustration than fear. "We're all going to die if we don't move right now! There must be somewhere we can go."

"I said shut it, fat ass!"

Sarah closed her eyes and listened to the chaos all around her. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and it was almost the loudest noise of all in her head, but then she noticed something else. Something was rattling behind her.

She turned her head back and looked at Clint and saw his arms shaking horribly, causing the AK-47 to vibrate.

"I know you're scared," she said to him, as calmly as she could, "but I know you don't want to die. I know you'll do the right thing."

Clint paused, staring at her with wide eyes, like a lost puppy who was scared and hurt. He judged the two of them and looked at the duck tape wrapped around their wrists. For a moment he almost had a change of heart, but then his steadfast nature returned to him. His brow furrowed and an angry resolve came over him again. "I told you to shut up, bitch!"

He took a step forward to smack her, but then a group of eight bandits appeared on the other side of the sandbag wall in front of them. They were running so fast that they almost slid clear across the makeshift wall, but they planted their feet, spun around and fired a volley of bullets in the direction from where they came. When they decided that their defense had accomplished nothing, they filed through the gap in the middle of the sandbag wall and into the food court like a swarm of angry ants pouring out of an anthill.

On their heels, a large horde of zombies came into view. Their eyes were bright in the orange light flickering atop the barrels, and their mouths were stretched open, desperate for a meal. They headed for the gap in the wall, but didn't have the grace that the bandits did, and they created a bottleneck as they piled on top of each other, some of them getting tangled up in the barbed wire, and others pushing from behind and breaking open a section of the wall and spilling over top of each other.
