Her breathe was shallow. Her nerves were stoned. She held herself up with the closet rod and the corner in the room. Her eyes were staring far away. She was too frozen to blink. She may have blacked out, time became hard to feel. She was aware enough to see what her eyes were giving her. Nothing was moving. There were moans and cursing from far away, but there was nothing to see outside of the window except for trees blowing in the wind. The shock of stillness pushed Jennifer back into her body and she nearly fell over.<br/><br/>Catching herself silently, she gathered herself and took another glance around her. It was true nothing was moving. Nothing had seen her. She felt safe, but that feeling departed quickly. It was like she'd gone from a deep sleep into a vivid dream. Something urged her closer to the open window. Her soft feet carried her around the room. As the parking lot and lobby came into view, the walking dead begin to emerge. Rather than stopping and cowering, she crouched and continued moving. As the lobby fully appeared, her heart rose up to her throat and she took a sudden deep breathe inward.<br/><br/>She knew something simple, if there wasn't a light on, they wouldn't see her. It helped her storm her courage as she revealed herself. she could see that the lights were off, and a huge group of monsters surrounded the complex. It looked like there were about two hundred of them. There were about fifteen or twenty trickling in toward the lobby, but their interest in the motel was fading. Jennifer felt that she'd made an incredible decision. A rush of pride flowed through her. There were a lot of dead people around her, all of the people in the lobby and the cops, it didn't matter to her. She was just happy to be alive.<br/><br/>A sudden dark shape passed by her directly in front of the window. She nearly screamed but pinned her tongue. Tumbling backwards and nearly falling, the shadow became more clear to her. It was a middle aged man missing his left arm as well as half of his chest. his head was turned toward the lobby, and he walked by the window harmlessly.<br/><br/>Jennifer crumbled to the floor and put herself near the window. She wished there was something she could do. But, it felt far too dangerous to leave her motel room.
