There are rules to surviving out here. Today I broke all of them. That’s why I’m stuck here in this room listening to the dead men scratch at the walls. I wonder how long it will be before one of those rotting fingers finds a handhold and starts pulling. I keep myself from nodding off by imagining a swarm of hands tearing through one of the windows, or the door flying off its hinges to reveal a wall of rotting faces.

Second of all, contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t take a simple head shot to kill a zombie. It’s got to be through the brain. Half the freaking amateurs these days don’t realize that and completely lose it when the zombie they just shot still dogs them, sans face.
Perfect example is the screw up that got me here. The...
