Chapter Eleven

We drove into the sea of infected with both fear and a nervous anxiety toward what we would find if we got out of Manteno. We listened as bones crushed beneath the wheels of the Jeep. It sounded like styrofoam being broken into pieces.

Clyde drove slow and cautiously. Half way through the sea of infected the Jeep stalled and then what we had hoped wouldn’t happen, happened. We came to a dead stop. The infected instantly covered the vehicle. They pounded on the windows. The noise made Emma scream. Katie tried to calm her down, but Emma was terrified, not that I blamed her. Trust me, I wanted to scream and I did in my head.

Clyde got the Jeep started and shifted it into drive. The amount of weight the infected had against the Jeep made it difficult to move. Clyde hit the gas and the Jeep sputtered, stalled, and slowly inched us toward freedom. I knew what had to be done. There were too many of them and their weight was too dangerous. The pure weight of them had us almost at a complete stop again. I knew it was only a matter of time before the windows shattered.

Emma was still crying, but had stopped screaming. She clutched her book into her chest, and with her wide eyes looked past Katie and out the window.

Mary and Melanie were both wide eyed and staring out the windows.. Even though it took us less than five minutes to drive through all the bodies, it felt like a lifetime. Life is funny that way. When you want time to go slow, it goes by fast, and the opposite applies when you want time to go by fast, it goes by slow.

“Clyde, open the sunroof; I’m going to start shooting them away from us.” I said.

I didn’t wait for a reply. I grabbed my rifle and started to raise myself through the opening sunroof. Trust me; I did not want to go out of the Jeep, even if it only was half of my body. As I waited for the sunroof to fully open, I mentally prepared myself. I knew that they couldn’t reach me, but I was scared shitless.

“You sure you want to do that. I think we can drive out of here, it just might take a while.” Clyde said.

“Just be careful.”

“Always.”

Once my head and chest were above the roof, I grabbed the rifle and raised it. I took aim at the infected in front of the Jeep. The first infected I took aim at was a tall infected that caught my eye, not only because of his height but because of his eyes, or lack of eyes. His eye balls were missing. I started to wonder how he could see, but that thought quickly vanished when the Jeep started rocking back and forth even harder than it had been. He looked like someone I knew, perhaps, a loan officer at the bank. Yes, he looked like Andrew something or other.
