The zombie’s face explodes in a mess of pink and gray brains. The flash from the muzzle lights this up in excruciating horror.

The fear is back. Everything I’ve ever seen in a horror movie or imagined while reading or writing a book goes out the window.

This is real.

This is terrifying.

Once the shot’s echo fades in my head, I hear the faint shrieks and squeals from Darlene.

“Steady,” I tell her. “Steady.” But not even my voice is steady. A deaf person could hear that.

At this same time, the couch and love seat start to shift. There’s more on the front porch now. I know from experience, they can push a door open with enough force. It’s only a matter of time.

“Other side,” I shout to Brian.

“Window’s too far up,” he says over the snarls. “They won’t be able to — ”

“Brian, listen to him!” Abby says.

“If there’s enough, they’ll find a way in,” I say. I don’t say that we have to find a way out.

Two more make their way in through the window. And two more shots sound. One from me, and one from Abby. When I turn to her, my ears ringing, she is still looking at Brian, the gun raised in her hand.

“Brian, go!” I yell. “Before more get in.”

Tony has his back to the barricade on the front door. Above us, over all the racket, the moans and groans, the breaking glass, I hear Herb’s soft and deep cries.

Don’t worry, big guy, we are going to get out of this. Just hold on.

Tony lurches forward. The creak of the door’s hinges come first, then the leaning of the couch and the love seat. The door is locked, but I see the wood swell outward.

The wood starts to splinter. Each crack brings a gasp up from Darlene’s throat, and a skitter in my heartbeat.

As I aim down the Magnum, seeing the sight jitter in sync with my shaking hands, I wonder if it's my fate knocking on the front door.
