The cold gnawed at Jack's hands as he cautiously moved through the deserted road. At least it had been abandoned by the living. His finger squeezed the trigger of his revolver, a shot rung at followed by a dull thud as the abomination fell to the ground dead. Jack stopped for a moment, the cool air had kept him alert but the eventual numbness was an unwelcome side effect. He slid the peacemaker into the holster at his hip and rubbed the now free hands together. Another thought struck him and he buried his right hand within the messenger bag hung at his other hip. A few seconds later the hand emerged with a small bottle nearly full with Russian vodka. His numb fingers struggled with the lid initially but it soon came off and moments later the strong taste hit the back of his throat. A contorted face announced the strength and the bottle quickly found its way back to the bottom of the bag. He knew it would only make him 'feel' warm but that was all that seemed to matter.

His pickaxe was now gripped in both hands, it was a clumsy weapon certainly but seemed to intimidate survivors if his pistol didn't. That was one of the biggest problems with this new world, not the zombies but the other survivors who felt as though they had the right to take from others. The memories of his last run-in with such a group was still clear in his mind, at least it distracted him from the darker events of the past.

“I! Need! Some! Help! Down! Here!” he paused in between each word to punctuate them. The former student turned his back to the building and braced himself, such a loud outburst was unlikely to go unnoticed...
