“Well it was like this, fellas,” he began. “I could see that I was never going to make it back to the shelter house and you guys were only going to get yourselves killed trying to help me so I hollered at Billy to shut the door and when I saw that you guys were safe I made a break for it. Those things are strong, but they are slower than us in their reactions. I kept my feet and broke through the perimeter. Most of them were after you guys anyway and I ran down the beach looking for firm ice. The west side of the island’s water was still frozen over with no breaks so took off over the ice towards the shore with about twenty of them, or so, on my tail.

“I almost made it to the shoreline when I went through the ice. It was only about three feet of water by that point, but I got soaked to the waist and it gave the monsters a chance to catch up with me. I clawed my way to the shore and ran into the woods as fast as I could.”

“Good God, Harley, it was still freezing that night,” said Billy. “Why didn’t you freeze to death?”

“Because I never stopped running all that night,” said Harley in a matter of fact tone. “If you keep moving you’re okay, but if you stop without a fire you’re dead.”

Billy and Jude exchanged a look and they both silently marveled at the stamina of their friend. Turk’s eyes were popping out of his head listening.

“Anyway, our dead friends don’t run as fast as us, but they can lope along all day and night and not get tired.”

“You don’t have to tell me,” laughed Billy. “I’ve had them on my tail too and it was no fun.”

“Anyway, I lost track of where I was or even the direction I was headed. I eventually lost most of them, but a few were still on my tail at day break.”

“Lucky you still had a gun, Harley,” said Jude.

“But I didn’t dare to use it. I only had a few rounds left and God knows when I might need them.”

“Like just a few minutes ago,” said Turk. “And I’m grateful you saved them.”

“So I was conserving ammo, plus if I fired a shot every zombie within earshot would have been on my tail again. As it was, I used the same strategy I used when they chased me off the water tower. I’d let one get close and then I bashed his skull in with my ax. I did that until I had put away all of them that were still chasing me. But that took another half a day of running so when it was all said and done I had been running for my life for about twenty four hours and I was exhausted. It was getting warmer fast so I figured I could stop and not freeze to death. My clothes were dry so I climbed a tree and used my belt to tie myself to a limb and I went to sleep.
