Mikayla Mues drove her old Chevy her father had given her out of the driveway. She turned and headed toward the grocery store. Her mother had asked her to go buy some milk. She clutched the five dollars her mother had given her in her left hand, and steered with the right. She didn't clutch hard enough because the money slipped out of her hands. "Damn it," Mikayla muttered. She bent down, not paying attention to the road. She reached the money quickly. She this time put it in her pocket. But when she lifted her head back to the road, she screamed. A car was coming toward her. Mikayla swerved out of the car's way. She hadn't hit anything. She turned around and looked at the car that almost killed her. It was a Toyota with some kid and a boy about her age. She had seen the boy at school. His name was Zack or something like that. Mikayla backed up, and continued driving toward the grocery store. She was extra careful. If something like that happened again, she may not be so lucky. "Why the hell do I have to get the milk?" Mikayla said out loud. "I mean, my mother has a driving liscence. Why do I have to always go out for my lazy family?" Mikayla sighed, for she already knew the answer. The answer was: since she didn't have a boyfriend then she must not have any plans. It pissed Mikayla off. The grocery store quickly came into view. Mikayla parked her car on the side of the street. She passed some kid who was trying to grind the bike rack on his skateboard in front of the store. He kept jumping off just as he was going to nail it. Mikayla paid no attention to the kid nor his skateboard. She just passed him and went into the grocery store. Some nasty smell of some sort filled her nostrils. "Smells like ****." Mikayla muttered. She went to the back aisle in search of milk. Unluckily, they were all out. "Just great." Mikayla sighed. Just when she was about to leave, she heard a moan from the back room. Then another moan. The first moan was an evil kind of moan. The second moan was a moan of pain. "What the hell?" Mikayla had heard it from behind the counter. It was a small grocery store---no, not even. It was a liquor store---so Mikayla could pinpoint where the sound was coming from. Mikayla inched toward the front counter. But she stopped dead in her tracks when she heard a baby crying. "Hello?" Mikayla called. Suddenly, the store clerk appeared from behind the counter, his back to Mikayla. "Excuse me? Um...do you have a baby in the back?" The clerk suddenly turned around. As Mikayla saw the clerk's face, she screamed and back away. The clerk's face was all distorted and bloody. It was like he was a...a...a zombie. Mikayla screamed again as the clerk jumped over the counter. Mikayla made a mad dash for the door. The zombie tried to grab her. Missed. Mikayla stormed out of the store and into her car. "Run kid run!" Mikayla screamed to the skateboarder. But when Mikayla saw the kid's face, she knew that he had become just like the clerk. Mikayla fiddled the keys into the ignition and started the car. But it didn't start. The car was really old. It crapped out a lot. Mikayla turned the keys again. "Yes!" The car started up. Mikayla quickly drove off. She was safe. But then she heard a weird sound coming from the car's rear bumper. Mikayla turned around and saw the skateboarder kid, on his skateboard, holding onto the back bumper. "Oh ****!" Mikayla screamed. I can loose him, she thought. I know I can. Mikayla swerved to the left, then to the right. But the zombie never let go. "Stop! Stop! I'm hungry! I need your flesh!" the zombie skater screamed. "Fine." Mikayla said, smiling. "You want me to stop, I'll stop!" Mikayla abruptly slammed the brakes down. The zombie skater flew over the car and in front of Mikayla's path. She drove right over him. The zombie's head made a squishing sound as Mikayla went over it. Mikayla looked around. No one within a mile was on the road. Except for this one guy running toward Mikayla's Chevy from behind. "Oh ****!" Mikayla screamed. "I forgot about the clerk!" Copyright 2008 Robbie |
