State of shock

    by: evil dude Author IconMail Icon
The duo walked over to the stairs and looked out through the large glass window across from them. Everything they could see was in ruins, the yard was a mess, one of the walls of the main building had been knocked down, and worst of all, the dead were were starting to group together outside. The biggest gathering was 7 level ones along the other side of the prison yard, all of them clawing and scraping at a window that had been broken open. "Oh my god..." Smith stuttered as he watched in horror as someone was thrown out of the window. The person was wearing a tattered prison uniform and was covered in blood. The level ones surrounded him as he tried to crawl away and beganing mauling him. "What the fuck..." Smith gasped. "Nevermind that." Eric called to Smith from further down the stairs. "We need to worry about us." He slamed the zombie that was coming at him up the stairs into the wall. It fell over, but still twitched as it bled from the forehead. "Not dead yet, eh?" Eric said as he bent down and stabed the zombie in the eye with his shank. It slumped over and went limp. He then pulled it back out and wiped it on Smiths uniform as he came down the steps. Smith just stood there with a blank look on his face and didn't say anything. "What the hell did you see up there anyway?' Eric asked as he continued down the stairs. Smith was silent for a few seconds before finally saying "they..." Eric stoped and turned back around to look at his companion. "What?" "They t-they...killed him." "Who?!" "I-I don't know...but...they..." Smith couldn't finish, he seemed to be in a state of shock. Eric walked back up the steps and began to shake Smith. "Dammit, we don't have time for this! Snap out of it! We. Need. To. Go!" Eric shouted as he shook Smith. "God damn it, move your ass before they start to catch-" But Eric was cut off as a level one grabed him from behind. "Shit!" Eric cursed as he pushed the zombie back down the stairs. It took it a few seconds, but the zombie began to get back up on its feet which meant it was still alive. To make matters worse, three of the level ones from the floor they had just come from appered at the top of the stairs and began making their way down. "SMITH!" Eric screamed into the mans emotionless face. "We have to go now before they surround us, c'mon!" Smith didn't move.

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. Eric leaves Smith behind and goes on without him

2. Eric stays with Smith and tries to get him to respond

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
