This choice: Something gets in her way (more changes optional) • Go Back...Chapter #14Some zombies try attacking her. by: CZSW   Claire only managed to shuffle halfway down the street, her new mass taking up the entire road and covering abandoned cars with her "slime", when she heard something behind her.
"Uhhhh.."
Claire shifted her head to see what is making that sound and saw a zombie coming out of a hardware store she just past, limping towards Claire. It's howl was followed by three more zombies, marching right behind the leader. They must have just been standing in the store when they saw Claire, the equal to several slow-moving buffets to them.
Claire thought about what to do with them. After all, she hadn't seen any zombies ever since her run-in with the blobs. Normally, she would have just outran them or shot them with her handgun. But now, she doesn't have a gun, much less arms to use one or legs to run away from them. She does however, now have a a body that can lift heavy objects.
When the first zombie was about to take a bite out of her "back", she put her body to good use. A tentacle extended out to grab the zombie and hold it up in the air by it's legs before doing the same with the other three zombies. She grunted with effort as she tossed three of them back into the hardware store. She stretched out her head to see if they would be getting back up and saw that they were now pinned down under a fallen shelf and wouldn't be getting back up.
Her attention now turned to the remaining zombie hoisted up in the air, pathetically clawing at Claire. She thought about giving it the same treatment as it's fellow walking dead, but then she winced from a large hunger pain. Claire knew she needed to eat and the only thing remotely edible was the zombie. She extended another tentacle to grab the zombie's jaw to keep it's mouth closed so it won't bite her and moved it to her body, intent on absorbing it for substance.
After all, she rationalized, the blobs had to be something made with the T-Virus. What more harm could one zombie do? Plus, she was a bit curious to what they tasted like.
After the deed was done, it turns out that they tasted awful.
"Bleah! I feel like throwing up! Never going to try that again" she said with a sour look on her face.
But then, she suffered through a short transformation. Her body turned into the same shade of yellow as the blobs, as well as becoming transparent. The clothes that the zombie was wearing before Claire ate and digested it could be seen floating inside her body. The finale began when Claire's hair started falling out in clumps as her head, the only thing left mostly untouched by all of the changes, sunk into the rest of herself. Before, it looked like just a human's head sitting on a big blob of fat. Now, the only thing that could lead people to recognize her, back when she was a human, is her face which could stretch out or even be moved from one spot of her body to another with a single thought.
Claire examined herself and was disappointed. "Damn, didn't get any bigger" she complained. "Oh well, back to finding some decent food."
