Nightshift 42: Germaine Street

The streets hardly seemed to be a better alternative to the pet shop. In fact, it seemed like there were more zombies on the street than where they were originally. Sakura glanced around the town in a frenzy. Zombies were everywhere! Where were they supposed to find somewhere safe?

She picked up a rock and pitched it at a zombie approaching them from behind. "Fai-san, where do we go?" she asked, looking up at him once more.

They just kept coming! Meche felt fingers grabbing for her hair and lashed out instinctively with a punch. It connected with the zombie's face--no, there wasn't much left of the face, she realized with a sudden flip of her stomach. It connected with the zombie's skull.

She covered her mouth with her other hand to stifle another scream. Four years, no, ten if this was 2008. How long did it take the human body to decompose? Is this what my body looks like now? she thought wildly.

No, she didn't have time to worry about that. The monster didn't even react as if it had felt the punch, just kept grabbing for her skull. She would've been in real trouble if Senna hadn't cleared the path on the other side just then, and they took off running into the street.

They had a second to rest there, and Meche tried to take deep breaths while she applied herself to the situation. She'd looked around a little in the afternoon last week, but navigation wasn't her strong suit at the best of times. This definitely didn't qualify. She tried frantically to at least remember what she'd seen, even if she couldn't put a where to the places. There were restaurants, a casino, the spa, the salon and the beauty shop...nope, it was no good. Even if those places had anything they could use as weapons, she couldn't get them there.

"Let's just keep moving!" she urged loudly, so Senna would be able to hear her over that constant, terrible moaning. "We'll use whatever we can find, but we'll have a better chance if we get it before we attract too many of them!"

Senna blinked as if coming out of something. "...Right," the girl answered solemnly, eyes checking for a path. Maybe.... "C'mon, this way!" Hopefully, it'd stay clear for the moment it took for them to run.
