3 Surrounded

In the alley behind the hotel.

No walkers, good, I walk hunching my back ready to run while making the least noise possible. Just in case I put some blood and gut on me. Still not used to the smell. The walkers are blinds but they have an enhanced smell and hearing. So locating life is easy but they can't distinguish when a human smell like a walker meaning you can walk among them as long you smell horrible, move slowly and don't make noise. So I better getting used to this smell because there are 6.9 milliards of the dead for 1,400,000 human life. 5000 to 1 in short...

OK let's be ready, I am at the end of the alley, a little scared. I take a deep breath before going.

I walk slowly, on the street I'm on the side, there is a lot of dead but I can still escape if needed.

The garage is at the East 500m away from me while the High-rise building in the North. If I don't encounter some problem I should not lose too much time. But for now, let's focus...

Hello, Mr. One lost arm need help? You are beautiful Miss without a jaw. Oh my, what a lovely bloody kid, I think he has a stain under his mouth not sure. Yes, I am making jokes, it's nerve-racking, I have good reflex because when a fat dead show up from an alley I almost bash his head. I look around trying to find any kind of useful thing or even life presence but nothing. Logic it's been already what days or weeks since the general panic?

Speaking of panic; Lori and Carl Grimes were able to survive thank to Shane Walsh but this guy is an unstable factor so I'm going to get rid of him soon...

While still thinking of some scheme and watching my surrounding I finally start to see the Garage. What a relief it will soon end.

100m, I run out of luck and I almost shit my pants. Towards 200m away from the garage, I start to feel some weird vibration, getting stronger while approaching the garage and now I know why... The building where I want to go is at the side of an intersection so I can't see the road behind it... But no need now because this road is full of walkers. A "herd", what's a herd? Remember when I said 5000 to 1? It's exactly that! Walkers tend to stick together and this group can quickly expand becoming a herd.

I start to move faster getting closer toward my goal and probably my future nightmare...

Just dozens of meters away, I slow down. 40m...30m...20m...10m... stay calm... And Voilà! I'm in the Herd, it's hard to walk against them put I still push.

Finally, at the door with my trembling hand, I slowly open the metal door.

*Clang*

Silence... Behind me only silence, but I feel their gazes on me... My heart is going to exit my body... Which bastard put a bar leaning to the door ?! They getting closer! Shit stop talking to yourself and act!

I enter quickly the Garage, close the door feeling a huge pressure on it, there is a metal cabinet, I put it in front of the door. Now I am surrounded and little time to search for something useful!
