CHAPTER 94: FLAMES OF DESPERATION
FLAMES OF DESPERATION
Your heart pounds against your ribcage as you hastily retrieve a matchbook from your pocket. The group around you watches, eyes wide with a mix of hope and fear. You strike a match and drop it into the dry leaves and twigs, stepping back as the flames rapidly catch and spread. The fire crackles to life, its heat a stark contrast to the cool forest air. Smoke curls upwards, forming a thick wall that begins to obscure the advancing horde.
The zombies hesitate, their grotesque forms outlined by the flickering light. You feel a moment of triumph as they stop, but the victory is short-lived. The flames are spreading faster than anticipated, licking up the trees and threatening to encircle you.
"Move!" you shout, lunging forward and pushing the group into motion once more. The boy clings to your side, his small hands gripping your sleeve as you navigate the treacherous terrain. The path is narrow, and the ravine looms ominously on your right, a potential escape route or a deadly trap.
Behind you, the fire roars, its heat singeing the edges of your clothes. The forest is alive with chaos, the cries of the undead mingling with the crackle of burning wood. You race against time, each step a gamble as the flames dance ever closer, threatening to consume everything in their path.
Just as you think you've gained some distance, the ground beneath you trembles. A massive tree, weakened by fire, teeters dangerously above, its branches poised to crash down and block your escape.
