toward them. Not alongside the freeway, just walking on the freeway in between cars and trucks. And they weren’t really walking, more like shambling and dragging their feet. They were moving so slowly and the gunfire did nothing to stop them. As they came closer they would grab at the people shooting at them, pull them to the ground or bite at their necks, faces and arms.
“Some really crazy shit is going on here.” Jacob said to Susie. “Hurry put up your window and get down.”
As they rolled up their windows and slumped down, the horde of people or monsters reached their car. Cody started crying in the back seat.
“Shhh… quiet.” Jacob said, looking back at his frightened little boy.
One of the stumbling people stopped at the Corolla and looked in the window, then another and another. In just a moment, the car was completely swarmed on all sides.
For the first time, Jacob got a good look at these monsters, as Cody called them. And they did look like monsters. Every one of their faces looked dead with cloudy eyes and grey skin. Many of them had been injured and looked like they had been torn apart by something. The one pawing at the driver’s side window was missing a huge chunk from his neck. He obviously used to be a man in his mid 30s. He was still wearing a suit and tie, but the front was covered in drying caked on blood. His windpipe was mangled and hanging out of the gaping hole in his throat.
The woman on the passenger side window was missing one of her eyeballs and the opposite side of her face was gone. Her tongue squirming inside her mouth was easily seen through the torn up flesh and missing teeth on the side of her face. Her breathy gasps and creepy moans could be heard clearly through the closed up window.
Three others crawled up on to the hood of the Toyota, reaching up to the windshield, desperately clawing at the glass and making those horrific growling moaning noises.
“Oh my God, Jake, what is happening?” Susie covered her face, tears were pouring down her sweat drenched face. She had never been so terrified.
Cody was crying loudly in the back seat yelling, “I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die.”
“It's like they're zombies, right out of the movies.” Jacob said quietly to his wife.
“Whatever they are, they need to get the hell away from us!” Susie's voice was panicked.
“Mommy, I don't feel good.” Cody said weakly.
“Just stay down, honey. Everything will be okay.” She tried to comfort him, even though she couldn't hide the terror in her tone of voice. She wondered if Cody knew that she was lying to him. She had no idea if they would ever get out of this alive.
The twisted mangled zombie faces were almost completely covering every inch of every window of the Corolla. The growling, hissing noises were so loud, Jacob could barely hear himself think. They kept pushing at the car, rocking it back and forth. Jacob and Susie slumped down as far as they could in their seats while Cody laid down in the back seat. All three of them dripping sweat in the scorching heat.
The zombie creatures continued rocking the car back and forth, growling and moaning and making those eerie unnatural gurgling noises that make the hairs on the back of the neck stand up and tremble.
“Mommy, I feel sick.” Cody said in a weak voice from the back seat.
“Just hold on baby.” Susie replied to him. All she could think about was how badly she wished these ugly creatures would go away.
All three were having trouble breathing in the sweltering heat of the car. An hour had passed since the zombies swarmed the Corolla according to Jacob’s watch. The temperature was nearly unbearable. Jacob and Susie both spent the entire hour wiping the sweat which poured down their faces while they tried to avoid looking into the horrifying faces in the windows.
Then the sound of Cody vomiting broke through the noises of the
