12, We Run Like Hell
16:08

I was crying my eyes out at the fact that Jack was gone. I had never said it, but I did like Jack more than just a friend. He was special and important to me, but now he was gone, and all I had left was Jerry and Karen.

“You’ll be okay sweety. We’ll get out of this and find someplace safe.” Karen said as she hugged me tightly.

I had heard words like that so many times in the past couple of hours. I knew that we would eventually all die. We started with six of us, and now we were only three.

“We need to work together. We need you, Kate.” Jerry said in a soft voice, also trying to comfort me. I felt bad for Jerry. He had the weight on his shoulders that he was now the leader and that he had to protect me and his wife.

“Oh god.” I said as I wiped tears away. The RV started to shake more rapidly than ever as we saw that the zombies were trying to climb up onto the roof to get to us. This situation couldn’t possibly get any worse.

The RV was going to tip over and fall soon, and we all knew it. Most of the zombies were on the right side, so it would fall that way. If it did fall, we would probably not even have a chance of getting out.

“Okay girls, listen closely.” Jerry said with a worried look on his face. I stood next to Karen.

“If the RV tips and falls over, which it probably will soon, we get up and run like hell to the forest and try to keep the zombies off of us and lose the horde. We have to try and stick together too.” Jerry said nervously but powerfully. He still gripped the emergency revolver in his hand.

The RV was shaking so much that we eventually had to hold onto each other. I got ready for it to fall over.

“Here we go.” I said out loud.
