“Well, I can promise you that I am not a zombie,” Juanita replied as she climbed over the seat.
“So what do we do?”
Juanita thought it over for a moment before turning to face Jason. “I don’t think going into the hospital is a good idea.”
“But your head.”
“I’m fine,” Juanita brushed aside his concern.
“It wouldn’t hurt to be sure,” Jason insisted.
The two craned their necks around to look back at the hospital entrance. Despite the fact that the lot was packed and three ambulances sat in the entry bay with lights on and back doors open, the warm glow of the entrance did not seem to bode ill.
“I will stay right by your side,” Juanita said, patting Jason on the arm.
Together, they took another look around to ensure that there were no more zombies walking past. Once they were fairly certain that the coast was clear, they exited the car, both taking special care to shut the door as quietly as possible.
Without realizing it, they clutched each other’s hand and started toward the entrance to the hospital emergency room. They were just crossing the last crosswalk where the main entrance allowed access to the parking lot when the roar of an engine sounded and the bright headlights of an oncoming vehicle chased away the darkness in a blinding flash. The tires screeched as the driver had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the pair.
So this is what a deer feels like, a muted voice said from somewhere in the back of Jason’s mind.
The growing voice in horror
and speculative fiction.
