Nine of us left Me, Trev, Meths, Elephant, Stagger Lee, Tyler, Seez, the other Muslih corridors, I try to rein with, but I can’t I’ve already forgotten the names and faces of the dead I’m sure, if I sat down for five ht now they’re vaguely reain The zoht The chase has resu to a stop "Where are we? I don’t knoe’re heading back towards the gyaze around There are classroonize them All of the corridors have started to look the same I’m as lost as Trev By the blank stares of the others, I know that they are too

Tyler coughs shyly and points "The front’s that way"

"You’re sure?" Trev asks

"Yeah," he says with a sood at directions, o"

We head the way Tyler pointed He’d better be right If he’s not, I’ll kill him before the zombies can

We turn a corner and I run into a boy my own size We collide, bounce off each other and fall Sitting up and rubbing my head, I realize it’s Pox and I burst into a sht you were"

I stop Pox is staring at ry look I relop’s brain My eyes flash to the fingers of his left hand and I see a light greenthe bite ers

Rick’s just behind Pox He’s li Pox or another zombie must have chewed it off before he turned But there’s not lop’s brain obviously wasn’t enough to satisfy his appetite Like Meths, poor old Dunglop never was the brightest of sparks, so he must have made for no more than a snack

I kick at Pox’s face, driving him back As I try to scramble to my feet, Meths wades in and kicks Pox harder Rick hops towards Meths, arers flexed like a cat’s claws Meths slips Rick ducks in for the kill -

- then there’s an unnatural roar and the zombie flies backwards, sto the wall and floor behind hiain There’s another roar and his head explodes Soun

Bloody yes, mate!
