Zombie High by Shawn Kass Read Free Book Online Page B

renewed tenfold and your head
goes woozy. As agony sets in, you try desperately to roll
over and crawl away from the approaching monster, but
you get no further than a few inches before you feel its
hands grip tightly to your calf.
It won’t be long now.
     
The End
Negotiating
    Realizing that she’s not going to budge on the issue
and that you have nothing on you to bribe the girl with,
you ask, “What do you want? What do I need to get for
you to let me in?”
    Looking at something or someone else positioned
up against the wall where you can’t see them, she takes a
moment before nodding and saying, “Weapons, food, a
first aid kit, and any other supplies which might be
helpful.”
    Sarcastically, you respond, “Sure, just hold on a
moment, and I’ll run down to the store for you.”
Noticing that your voice has risen above that of a
whisper, the girl shushes you and puts a finger to her lips
to tell you to be quiet, and then says, “Don’t be an idiot.
We just need you to run to the gym and get a few bats.
The nurse’s office should have a first aid kit, and the
cafeteria probably has tons of food.”

Comply With Her Demands
    Nodding, you say, “Okay, I’ll go get you what I can,
but if those things are in the way, I’m bringing back
whatever I have and you’re going to let me in.”
    The girl in the room looks to her partner and then
back to you before she agrees, saying, “Fine, but you
better not come back empty handed,” and then almost as
an afterthought, she adds, “Good luck,” before she closes
and locks the door.
    Thinking it over for just a second, you realize that
all three locations the girl mentioned are downstairs. You
do have other options as well, but no matter what, you
have to decide what to go after first.

Weapons First
    Considering what the girl said, you realize that you
really should get yourself a weapon first if you are going
to be roaming around a school potentially filled with the
undead. The first aid kit and the food can be picked up
after you have a means of protecting yourself.
    Turning, you begin to head for the stairway passing
a display case full of trophies that students won for the
school in regional and state championships. Two of them,
the baseball trophy and the hockey trophy, give you the
idea that these might be useful weapons, certainly more
than the volleyball and swimming, anyway. Towards the
end of the display case, however, you see a small placard
which reads “Best in Show” and mentions a woodworking
competition. Granted, the idea hadn’t been one of the
girl’s from the teachers’ lounge, but as you consider it,
you realize you could actually make yourself some
weapons with the tools in there. As you descend the
stairs you consider using a nail gun to “add a point” to
your next encounter with a zombie, or perhaps the jagged
teeth of a saw blade might cut down on their attempts to
eat you, but when you reach the first floor you remember
that the gym and the woodshop are in completely
different ends of the school. You are going to have to
make a choice which one you head for.

Gym
    Deciding to head for the gym as the girl told you,
you are already thinking about the feel of a baseball bat or
a golf club in your hands and what it will feel like to knock
a zombie’s head off. You pass by several more classrooms
along the way and find that just over half of them still
have their door closed. The ones with their doors open,
however, show you far more gruesome scenes than
