Excerpt!
“We can’t run. They’d
totally get us before we got away,” I said, hoping he’d correct me, tell me
that we had a chance.
He didn’t.
He slammed his fist into
the steering wheel and looked over at me. When the outbreak happened, we never
looked back. We were always on the move, running from the disease that took our
families and friends. That was the key to survival. Never stay in one place.
Always stay on the move. Now we had nowhere to move. I glanced over at Gavin
and saw the fear in his eyes. Even with everything we’d encountered, his eyes
had never held this amount of terror.
“Babe, whatever happens…”
“Knock it off,” I said.
“We have nothing to fight
them with, and a horde this size needs a distraction.”
“Don’t you dare,” I
hissed, shaking my head. The fear was pulsing through me at an unstoppable
rate. “We didn’t live through the outbreak to die now.”
I gritted my teeth,
grabbed the civilian anti-zombie kit from under my seat, unzipped it, and
looked for anything inside that might help. We were instructed to drop these
kits off at government collection stations. I was grateful we never got around
to it.
Gavin held down the
ignition and reverse buttons at the same time in a vain attempt to override the
safety sensors.
“Damn it,” he muttered.
“Try rebooting the car.
Turn it off and take the key out. Give it a few seconds and slip the key back
in. Maybe if you pop it in reverse before the car can sense the zombies, it’ll
let us reverse,” I directed.
He nodded, biting his
lip, and turned off the engine allowing the moans of the horde outside to be
heard. I took a deep breath and looked out my window that was now completely
blocked by tattered shirts and non-oozing wounds pressed against the glass. It
would only be a matter of time before they began to break through the glass.
The moans turned into a chorus of humming.
“One-Mississippi-two…”
Gavin’s words wrapped around me.
I prayed silently to the
same God I’d prayed to many nights before. He listened then and I hoped he’d
listen now.
I grabbed two knives that
were in the kit and flipped the blades open, locking them in place. The
anodized orange handles were larger than the actual blades. Not comforting. I
handed one to Gavin.
“There’s still a
Louisville Slugger on the floor behind us,” Gavin said. His brown hair was cut
short. That was one of the first things he did after we were vaccinated. A
haircut and a shave to celebrate our survival. He still looked young but not as
young as we both did before the outbreak.
I slid toward the center
console, crawling as far from the passenger window as I could get. Gavin’s
breathing was heavy, and I felt the heat rolling off him as he continued to
struggle with what we were facing.
I dug around in the
bottom of the bag for the zombie deterrent. My hand clasped around the ADD,
also known as the Audible Distraction Device, and I dropped the kit to the
floor.
The car rocked back and
forth as the number of beasts grew on both sides, creating a trance-like rhythm
that was terrifying.
“Grab the bat,” Gavin
instructed, his voice low.
