How to Date an Android Chapter 25

Weird. Why would they get aggravated over that?

Then one more step on my end as they are tearing it up. Still ...I don't like how close they are. They are less than thirty feet away from me and I'm like...so crippled I'm slow as hell. Then there's a scream. It's a girl's scream of someone like teenage years or under.

What the hell?!

That house belonged to the old lady that was shot. There shouldn't be anyone in there, should there? I don't think she had any relatives there but maybe I was wrong?

The zombies are now excited...oh crap.

They start tearing through not just the hedge but now they are also seeing the window behind it. The scream came from a girl in the room just beyond the hedge.

So did they smell her in there or something? Maybe that was what drew them to the hedge in the first place, but I can't be sure. The hedge was right next to the window. But the yard in front of the hedge was big enough there should have been a good fifteen to twenty feet of clearance between her window and the sidewalk in front of the house.

What drew them close to being within smelling distance? And that wasn't my only question. So even if I get away I have to figure out how far they can actually smell stuff. So even if I get back to my house...which is literally only like 2 yards away I'd not be safe without knowing how far they can smell stuff.

I was wrong about the hedge triggering them...I think. They must have smelled the girl that screamed but I can't see her yet either. It also sounds like a girl younger like in the teens and doesn't sound like Barbara.

So I manage to start crawling behind the truck now to get to the other side. She's making too much noise though. Every little sound is like shattering glass to these rabids and she's screaming. The girls screams continue, and there's the sounds of thrashing around. "Help me! Help me please!" she keeps yelling.

Oh shit, she's going to lure a ton more of them here.

Sure enough two more rabids came from a nearby yard and are sort of loping with off gait stumbling towards her with arms outstretched, even though they are about sixty feet from her. They are moaners too so I spot them rather quickly. If she hadn't then it's likely those two would have spotted me because they were in a yard behind my peripheral vision range. They could easily have snuck up on me or come from behind.

Such a close call...

I'm still lucky I have my cane to walk with, but it's also a liability because it's easy to scrape it across the ground and it's partly why I'm so slow. It's not the ideal weapon for fighting zombies with either, since it wasn't built that long or heavy.

Now the rabids...zombies? Which do I call them anyway? What are they exactly? They used to be people but I don't know what kind of thing has caused this.

At any rate they are trying to get in the girls window which is about four feet off the ground. She's screaming for help and yelling and I see a flash of blonde hair and she's hitting them with something as they try to get in.

For now she can keep them back, but that's only because she's got the ground level of the window being high up in her favor and they haven't latched onto the window sill or her yet. They are still trying to figure out how to pull themselves up.

But at some point they will figure that out.

I manage to get onto the back bumper of the truck while trying to stay low and pull myself up the back trailer hitch part of the bed. Then I slide into the back noiselessly. I crawl forward on my elbows as quickly as I dared.
