Infected World: Aim When You Shoot

The world is gone, I think that's the easiest way to state it.

11/30/07

After finally looking outside and noticing that the death was more than just a statement, it was now the way of life, with bodies in the street, cars on the sidewalks and houses being slowly torn apart by infected looking for their next meal. We knew we would have to change our location to somewhere safer, and not surrounded by death. We started to think about how we were going to leave without losing anyone.

"Lets dress up as zombies, zombies don't attack other zombies, right? Right?" Phil questioned
"What if they know, we can't risk it" My Father replied
"Lets try finding thick clothing so they cant bite through, two of us will get Sean's Jeep into the garage and the rest of you stay inside and wait, who wants to get the Jeep with me?" I said with a scared look on my face.
"I will." Sean said, "Fuck some zombies up!"
I laughed under my breath "Alright, Dad and Phil, you grab the shotguns, you come out first once the Jeep is in the garage, you'll have to watch guard while we get Mom, Nicole, and Autumn in safely. Mike, Rich, Ned, grab the baseball bats, you're behind the girls, watch guard in the house make sure nothing comes from behind, Once everyone is inside, Phil and Dad get in." I stated, starting to sweat in worry. "Sean and I are taking the .45's"
"Right!" The group seemed to say simultaneously

Everyone got geared up with stuff that wouldn't be bitten through easily, even my 3 year old niece. As Sean and myself went upstairs and into the garage. We looked out the small garage door window, no zombies in site.
"Going to be easier than I thought" Sean whispered
"Be on your guard" I whispered back

We slowly left the garage, guns drawn and ready to shoot.

"You get to the Jeep, I'll be on lookout" I said to Sean, knowing he was faster, he wouldn't have much troubles getting to the Jeep

Sean started to sprint toward the Jeep, then three zombies started to appear, running from between houses into the street. They were headed straight for Sean.

"SEAN 3 O'CLOCK" I yelled

*BANG, BANG, BANG* I saw Sean's gun go off in panic, missing every shot in his clip, as they were only about 50 yards from him.

I pulled my gun and started to aim, tried to pull the trigger, it wouldn't budge. "Safety" I said to myself"
25 yards from Sean

(Sean struggles to concentrate to get the keys in the key hole)

*BANG* The first zombie is hit, it's head shoots blood out, as it stumbles and falls only 10 yards from Sean
*BANG* Missed the second zombie
*BANG* Hit it, fell right where it was, 15 yards from Sean
*BANG BANG BANG* Misses, the third zombie is still after Sean

The zombie reaches Sean and tackles him, as Sean struggles to hold the zombies head away I got closer to get a clean shot.
*BANG* The shot through it's right eye and out the back of it's head, the once pure white Jeep is two toned red.

"Fuck! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sean says with tears running down his face.
"Aim when you shoot, I'm not going to always be around to save your sorry ass, and I thought you were going to fuck some zombies up, not get fucked by a zombie." I say smiling knowing my friend is alive and alright

Sean backed the Jeep up into the garage and put it in park. The door opened, Phil and my dad ran out and started to watch the entrance of the garage, the girls got into the Jeep. Ned, and Rich, walked outside, Rich and Ned looked scared, Mike walked soon after out wiping blood off his baseball bat. Ned and Mike got into the Jeep.

"We need to take another car or we wont have room" My dad said seeing how crammed everyone was in the Jeep.
"The truck?" Phil looked over and said
"Good thinking... JOHN!" My dad called to me
"Yeah?" I said back in confusion
"Get the truck."
"Alright."

I ran down the driveway and started the truck up, no problems. Sean drove the Jeep out of the garage with Phil in the front seat, my Dad ran down and took wheel of the truck while I climbed in the back and Rich was in the front seat with the same scared look on his face. Sean pulled up with the window down.

"What's the plan?" Sean asked.
"We need to head to a small town that isn't blocked off" My dad said
"Lets go I'll follow you" Sean said, ready to get out of hell

I sat in the back of the truck with a shotgun in hand and a baseball bat in case.

We got onto the highway and started driving, it was surprisingly calm, it was nice.
