Survival Episode 2

Part 27 Monster Approached

The eerie silence of the graveyard was shattered by the heavy footsteps that reverberated through the air, sending shivers down my spine. Instinctively, I darted back to the safety of my hiding spot, heart pounding against my chest. But curiosity kept me glued, my eyes trained on the tallest figure that emerged amidst the graves.

As if summoned by some unseen force, the moon emerged from behind the clouds, casting an ethereal glow upon the figure, revealing a grotesque monster. Its twisted form seemed to contort in the moonlight, sending a chill down my spine. Frozen in fear, I watched as the monstrous being approached Mr. J.J's grave, standing there in solemn silence.

Time stretched on, the minutes feeling like hours, as the monster remained unmoving, a silent sentinel amidst the graves. Then, to my horror, shadows began to stir from the darkness, shapes emerging from every corner of the graveyard. Zombies, their vacant eyes gleaming in the dim light, shuffled forward, drawn to the monstrous figure like moths to a flame.

As the moon played hide-and-seek with the clouds, the scene unfolded before me like a macabre theater. The monster seated itself upon Mr. J.J's grave, an ominous crown upon its grotesque head, while the zombies encircled it like loyal subjects, their movements a grotesque dance of death.

With a start, the monster rose from its throne, the zombies parting like waves before it as it strode away, leaving behind a congregation of the undead. Panic gripped me as I realized I was trapped amidst the graveyard, surrounded by a horde of zombies whose aimless wanderings brought them ever closer to my hiding spot.

Desperation clawed at my chest as I surveyed my options, my fingers trembling as they clutched the handle of my gun. I knew my bullets were limited, hardly enough to fend off the throng of undead that now roamed the graveyard like hungry predators.

With a steely resolve, I steeled myself for what was to come, my mind racing as I searched for a way out of this nightmarish scenario. The walls loomed tall and imposing, the outdoor beyond seeming impossibly far away.

Time seemed to stand still as I waited, every second stretching into an eternity, my senses heightened to the slightest sound or movement. And then, with a rush of adrenaline, I sprang into action, my heart pounding in my ears as I navigated through the maze of graves, every step fraught with peril.

With every passing moment, the danger grew ever more palpable, the relentless advance of the undead threatening to engulf me. But amidst the chaos and the fear, one thought burned bright in my mind—I would survive, no matter the cost.
