Chapter 3.4

Georgi turned onto the gravel drive of a two story farmhouse. There were no cars in sight and the front door was wide open. The women exchanged glances.

Rosemarie rolled down the window and called, “Hello!”

No one answered. They sat in the car for a moment.

“Should we get out?” Georgi asked.

Rosemarie scanned the surroundings before answering, “I suppose we could take a look.”

“Alex, stay in the car with Murphy,” Georgi said.

“That's my car,” Rosemarie said as it dawned on her. “That's my stuff!”

Georgi stopped the car and Rosemarie hopped out.

“What the fuck are you doing? The Zombies could still be here!” Randy yelled after her.

“Shut it, crazy. This is vandals not zombies,” Rosemarie snapped.

“Then why wasn’t anything stolen?” he threw up his hands. “Because zombies don’t eat food!”

With Randy's driving, they reached the station in record time. He parked the car at the pump and left the engine running as he got out.

“Stay here,” he said, walking gun first toward the door.

He moved as if he was expecting something to jump out on him, as he crept into the gas station. A few minutes later he walked out, then continued around the building.

“All clear,” he said in a loud whisper.

Georgi reached over and turned off the ignition.

The gas station was open, but no one was in sight. Peering in the garage of the station, they could see an old car with it’s hood up, but no mechanic.

Chapter 3: Run Away!

Settling in on that first night wasn’t an easy task. Murphy whined and barked at noises outside the cabin while Randy hissed at Rosemarie to keep him quiet. At some point, he decided to go outside and stay on guard. The rest of the group tried to get some sleep. But between sleeping on the ground, the heat, and the nervous pup, it was difficult.

Rosemarie had to get up to use the outhouse and discovered that her fear of spiders increased with the dark. On her way back, she heard rustling in the woods and high tailed it back inside.
