"Oh, don't worry!" Claire said cheerfully, continuing on her way. "I'll be back before the monsters, I'm sure. Or someone will. They're all over on the other side of town anyway."
"No! You can't do this! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" the woman screamed, almost sobbing. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't wriggle free.
Claire felt a twinge of guilt, but kept going, shutting her ears to the woman's screams. Surely she would be fine. She was probably hysterical and exaggerating anyway. Monsters indeed...
Claire licked her lips, still tingling from her encounter, detecting the faintest trace of something sweet on the as she looked around, wondering where to go next. Little did she know, the same virus the woman carried was now makign its way into her bloodstream, and soon, her brain.
To the left was, of all things, a donut shop.
To the right, a gun store that had somehow gone un-looted, though the door was swinging open.
