Well,you guys sure have been busy.bit cruel on the weaker posters aren't you?.No ones perfect remember,i agree that if a post is only a few lines and is buggering up the story the person should leave but that isn't always the case.you can't tell someone to leave just because they're not as strong a poster as Chicky and Shalak,i'm not a that strong a poster,are you going to tell me to leave?Just ease up a little guys,give them a chance at least.We all improve,i used to be bloody rubbish i think i'm a bit better now.Just keep calm and we'll see what happens
Rich held his eyes as they burned,tears mixed with blood ran down the side of his face.Marie held his arm tight so as to steady his balance.Flint grabbed the old man that had so carelessly blinded Rich.Only once flint had dragged the old man to his feet could he and Marie see that the man was a priest.His holy vestments though torn and stained clearly showed he was a worshiper of god.Flint laughed under his breath.
Flint:you'll never guess Rich,the guys a priest.Of all the things to happen to you,you were blinded by a priest.
Rich didn't answer.Marie gave flint an evil look.He put his hands up as if to say sorry and backed away.
The small group had quickly lost track of time,whatever day it was it was not a good day.Marie had lost her husband,flint had lost his best friend and Rich had seen many unlucky souls ripped to shreds and torn ro pieces,well at least he wouldn't be able to see that happen anymore or anything for that matter.In a small way,rich was thankful.At least he wouldn't be able to see any horrible sights.But losing his sight mean't he was useless to any that still lived.his chance of survival were low now,still he tried to look on the bright side.At least he was still alive.
The holy man prayed to the small group for forgiveness,flint raised the rifle butt against the preachers head,marie just watched.Rich could hear something.
Rich:Stop,leave the preacher alone.He was only trying to defend himself,he should not be punished for that.Anyway there are bigger problems to deal with,the stairs.They're coming up the stairs
Flint:i can't hear anything
Rich:Trust me,they're coming.Preacher i forgive you for blinding me,join us if you wish but don't expect to live long.
The holy man rasied himself from the ground
:i feel like i must follow you,i must repay you for what i have done to you.I shall follow you.
Rich:fine,take your flare gun and anything else you need.
The holy man held a small bible in his hands.
:i have all i will need here.
Rich staggered for a few steps on his own but toppled to his knees after falling over a chair leg.
Rich:This is going to be harder than i thought,well let's go.
Rich rasied himself again,his hands pushed in front of him,he walked forward until he reached the door.Carefully Rich listened.
Rich:They are three floors down,i suggest he head back to the roof
flint:Then where?
Rich:you're guess is as good as mine
The holy man quickly spoke up
:The church,it is built of solid stone,there are supplies there.i was going there myself but then this terrible outbreak occured.I'm sure it is stil safe.
Rich:Well what have we got to lose,only our lives but they're not worth much now.Very well the church it is.
Those that could see quickly ran to the roof,Marie grabbed hold of rich who staggered closely behind.The three stared at the white corss in the distance.They had three miles to cover,no car,it was dark raining and the dead roamed the streets.It hard to act posotive now.The wounded cop,the blind man,the renegade soldier and the preacher readied themselves for the hard journey,if they all survived this day it would be a miracle.
