Collateral Damage

    The group of Gs turned in unison as if they were of one mind. Time seemed to stand still as my heart raced, rose, stiffening my throat. In a flash without hesitation they arose from the ground where they were kneeling. Their mouths opened wide, exposing rotten teeth, gums of the toothless Ghouls shone jaw bones peaking through them, turning the disfigured mouths into makeshift beaks. Suddenly time came rushing back to me, the Gs already in motion were running towards us. "Run!!!" I yelled as I pushed my foot down on the pedal, surging me forward. Rika followed close behind, the trailer slowing her down and forcing more care in maneuvering than in escaping. Our rifles were slung around us, but in the initial fear were forgotten. The Gs burned with hunger and ferocity, they quickly moved between the vehicles, our only saving grace was their inability to slow them selves to properly manage the automotive maze, constantly slamming into and stumbling over cars. The Ghouls howled in rage as we continued to maintain the distance between us and them, the sound caused a shiver to run down my spine. I started to pull away from Rika with out noticing, I continued to pedal, my lungs burned, I could hear the Gs behind me, not wanting to  turn around and see them chasing me I pedaled harder.
    The Zombies closed in on Rika, she was constantly feeling the extra weight of the trailer, only pulling it because she is the better cyclist of the two of us. Tears streamed down her eyes as the sound and smell of the Ghouls grew closer. One Ghoul was close enough to touch the trailer, as it lunged and grasped at Rika, only barely missing it's target. The close call caused Rika to panic and falter in her focus, the bike swerved and crashed into a wrecked car, the vehicle that had apparently created the metal labyrinth. Falling to the ground Rika laid on the floor stunned from the sudden stop and preceding impact with the ground. The Gs grew closer still running, now only a few feet from where an astonish Rika and her bike sat stopped on the pavement.
    The rifle lay in front of her, without much thought she grabbed it, turning to face the threat that was bearing down on her. A cold detached resolve shown in her eyes. 5, A red dot appeared in the Zombies head, his momentum causing him to smash into the wreck car. 4, The crack was barley audible over their screams and made little difference in the G's neck, 3, another hole appeared in it's skull. 2, the eye disintegrate and a the back of it's head shattered outward. 1, a lower jaw shattered and the G stumbled.
     A deafening sound broke out and the Gs jaw-less head exploded. Another shot rang out and the angle of my vantage point allowed me to take multiple Gs with each shot, 2,3,5,6 Gs and my shotgun ran empty, now with they're attention turn towards me, I tried to reload, pulling one round out from my belt before they arrived. Rika was on her feet with a fully reloaded weapon each pull of the trigger finding it's target in the back of a zombies head. Sweat ran down my brow as we reunited, as we hugged the sound of other nearby Gs shouted out, alerted by the gunfire. Rushing towards our bikes we began to pedal away, a warm feeling in my leg nagged me the rest of our ride home.
     Finally able to relax in the safety of our home, I examined my leg... a piece of Zombie skull lay embedded in my leg, a piece of rotten, decaying, and infected bone. My tears were uncontrollable.
