With all her might, Genevieve pulls herself up through the slimy throat of the plant, her body now coated in a thick, viscous substance. As she emerges from the maw, she can see the light of the swamp through the clearing in the trees. The plant's leaves quiver in agony as it releases her.
The moment her feet touch the ground, she runs as fast as she can, not looking back, her dress sticking to her legs with the slime. She runs until she reaches the clearing, gasping for air, her chest heaving. She glances back to see the plant has not pursued her.
Exhausted, she sits down and takes in her surroundings. The swamp is eerily quiet, with only the croaks of distant frogs and the occasional splash of something unknown breaking the stillness. Genevieve feels a sudden urge to clean herself up.
Using the murky water from a nearby swamp puddle, she carefully wipes the slime from her face and neck. The water is cold, and it stings a bit, but she's grateful for the temporary relief. She then notices her reflection; her eyes widen with shock. She had not seen herself since she had become a zombie. Her once bright, blue eyes are now a pale, almost translucent white.
Her thoughts drift to the scar on her neck. It's not just a scar anymore, it's a piece of her past that she desperately needs to uncover. Genevieve feels a determination growing within her, she will not rest until she finds out who she was, and how she ended up like this. With renewed purpose, she grips her axe tightly and begins to walk through the swamp, her eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of civilization or her past life.
