ash sat up top quietly and watched the zombies struggle back and forth, walking or crawling around depending on how decayed they were. they were ugly things. ash loved horror movies and even though her life was now a horror movie she couldn't help but still be lost in the surreal world of horror. admittedly, it has been forever since she saw a horror movie. it's not very easy to come by working technology these days. the zombies weren't like the ones from walking dead or dawn of the dead or night of the living dead. they were scarier, maybe for the fact that these ones were real. they held captive the souls of the people inside and took over their minds. were those people still in there, watching their bodies do horrible things without being able to do a thing themselves?<br/>
<br/>
she knew that she'd have to wait until the hoard moved on before she dared to get down from the roof where she was safe for now. she had food and water to last her a couple days if need be. or she'd find a way to sneak out. ash sat back, her legs dangling off of the side of the building as she watched the monsters. none noticed her on the roof, thankfully. not that they could climb. their legs were too weak for that.<br/>
<br/>
her mind began to drift but not for very long as she heard a sound almost like a car in the distance. ash got up and walked to the other side of the roof and saw a white car drive right up to the store. people were scary, almost scarier than zombies. it seemed that when the apocalypse happened any sense of human kindness went out the window. people turned to savages only thinking of themselves. there were few groups that survive today but everyone is guarded. any other person is a threat to them which, honestly, is valid. people steal and lie and are messed up. if they have the virus their minds turn killer. they kill without reason just because they feel the incredible need to and nothing can stop it. so early on it is hard to identify because the virus isn't as clear. so it's just better to not trust anyone, right?<br/>
<br/>
she didn't say anything when the man got out. he was alone. she had no idea why someone was out here now. the hoard was making their way through the area and if any of them spotted you you'd better be good at running or fighting. with the sure amount of them around one person, no matter how skilled they were, would be overwhelmed by them. "hey!" she called but without success as the man walked into the empty store already looted clean from a while ago. ash heaved a sigh "well i guess this is gonna be my good deed for the year." she muttered under her breath and lifted the latch to the inside of the building. ash climbed down. she could already hear the struggle of the man with the zombies around. so she didn't waste a second to pull out her gun and shoot one in the head that was about the jump the man from the back. "hey!" she yelled again "up here!" another zombie came from behind and ash quickly turned to shoot it but this time she only got it in the shoulder which sent the zombie back a bit but didn't kill it. ash quickly grabbed her blade, not wanting to use up her ammo. she turned back around to the zombie she had yet to finish and sliced her blade down. it went through the skin like velvet, right through the kneck and the composing head fell to the ground with the body, black ooze pouring from the wounds.<br/>
