“Alright, I think that's everything.” Leeper sighed as he finished settling what few belongings he was taking with him to the Dowden's home into his vehicle. He was on his way to have a fun night out at the college with his colleagues and students for the Midnight Study Break, an event that had been posted on fliers around the university.
As Leeper hopped into his vehicle, he thought back to the last time he'd gone out to a special event like this, and what had happened on the way. A shiver went down his spine at the memory. His unpreparedness had left him stranded in the middle of a hoard of evils and unmerciful, hungry eyes. That would never happen again.
He ignited the engine and took off down the street, his paranoia making him watch every turn and swerve in the roads winding down, dim lights illuminating the pavement. He hit the gas pedal a bit harder, eager to speed up down the narrow street, fear glinting in his eyes. All of a sudden, he saw a dark clump of...something...blocking the road up ahead. Leeper skidded the car to a halt, and, turning his brights on, his heart skipped a beat.
A hoard of moaning, growling, decaying zombies were slowly headed in his direction.
Leeper froze. The same thing that had happened before...was happening now. Though he had fear in his heart, he remembered that God was on his side against these devilish creatures. He shook his head, and his expression changed from a look of fear to one of hard determination. Shuffling in his seat, he opened up the glove compartment, exposing an “In case zombies, press button” sign, with a red button beneath. He slammed his fist on it, and immediately the passenger seat flipped over and opened in the middle, revealing a various amount of weapons to choose from.
The pile consisted of an axe, a machete, an M16, a baseball bat, 2 revolvers, hedge clippers, a pair of aviator sunglasses, and a box of toothpicks. Leeper grabbed the M16 VIPER automatic out of the middle of the pile, loaded it, locked it, put on the sunglasses (even though it was dark, but who cares? He was gonna be a badass). “Sorry everyone,” He said to himself, popping a toothpick in his mouth. “I don't think I'll be making it to the Dowden's tonight...”.
As he said those last words, Leeper threw the car in reverse, and disappeared into the dark as the hoard of zombies came closer.
“...it's zombie killin' time...”
Suddenly, Leeper's vehicle burst forward from the black, skidding sideways only mere yards away from the zombies, with Leeper himself hanging halfway out the window, M16 in hand, bullets flying and zombies dropping like flies on a bug light as brains and other gore flew everywhere.
“DIE ZOMBIE SCUM!!!” He screamed as he skidded by, killing as many of the undead as he could. His vehicle skidded all the way around before stopping, with the car facing the opposite direction of the hoard. This however, didn't phase Leeper at all. Again he threw the car in reverse and slammed the gas, rolling up the window and plowing straight into the zombies, crushing a third of the animated bodies.
The remaining zombies began to crawl onto his vehicle after he'd stopped, one of them locking eyes with him, trying to eat him through the glass. Leeper returned the glare. “Not today.” He threw the vehicle back into drive and flew forward, hitting the break suddenly, making most of the crawlers fly off his car and into the street with a 'crack!'.
But when Leeper went to do the same thing again, he didn't realize how close to the curb he was, and he bounced up onto the curb, which was preceded by a very deep, steep ditch, with several large trees at the bottom. He lost control, causing the car to begin to fly downhill. Completely out of his control, the vehicle was almost to the trees, about to make impact...
“NO!” Leeper yelled, wrestling with the sheets as he fought to sit up. His eyes popped open to reveal his own room, in his own house, lights off and the moon shining through the window.
“Oh thank goodness, it was only a dream.” He sighed in relief, rubbing his face. He must've dozed off by accident while working on his laptop, as the evidence of his glowing laptop was off to the side of the bed.
Wait...if that was just a dream, that means that he could still make it to the Midnight Study Break! He looked over at his clock.
“Two-thirty?! Aw man...” He shrugged his shoulders. He had been too late.
“Oh well, may as well go get a snack from the fridge or something.” Leeper sighed again. Stretching, he trudged his way into the kitchen as lighting began to light up the sky. As a strike of lightning lit up his bedroom widow, a crumpled figure with glowing eyes could be seen clawing at the window from the outside.
THE END!! :)
