The RV was firmly stuck in a ditch with a crowd of zombies filtering out of the
woods, a couple of zombies started pounding on the side of the RV, Bubba stepped
out, shot the zombies and saw that frame of the RV was touching dirt and the
wheel had no traction. The RV was here to stay. The crowd of zombies coming out
of the woods during the fight seemed like a lot of zombies but it was only a
dripping faucet, the faucet was suddenly opened and a dense crowd of zombies
packed together so tight that only a crowd of soccer spectators at the World Cup
could match its density. This crowed started pouring out of the woods, all
zombies. It was time to run.
The group ran for their lives into a corn field on the other side of the road
and quickly got separated between the rows. In the corn field Dr. House survived
being shot by an angry old farmer who was shooting randomly into the cornfield
at zombies. Bubba bravely fought off a straw stuffed scarecrow after it landed
on his shoulders when he ran into it. Drake stopped to help a pretty farmer’s
daughter he saw sitting in the corn field. She turned out to be a fresh zombie,
he didn’t notice right away because she was still hot! Amanda caught the worse
of it again. It must be Karma. She was attacked by a zombie covered with crows
pecking at the flesh of the walking dead. She saw a crow rip out an eyeball and
froze in fear. That is one bad scene that will give her nightmares and wet beds
for years to come.
At the end of the corn field the group regrouped in a clearing by a farm house.
In the clearing was a huge pile of dismembered zombies, all still alive and
active but unable to move. That is where they meet Parker who ran over the
zombies using the farmer’s combine and piled them up using the farmer’s
bulldozer. She was deciding what to do with the pile as the group came running
out of the corn field. As they discussed what to do next everyone heard church
bells ringing from nearby and decided to check it out. At the church they were
greeted by Father Romano and a dozen other people.
Before they leave the farm they use the farmer’s work shop to fashion 3 swords
out of old combine blades and duct tape for hilts.
The people at the church had been holed up for a couple of weeks and would like
to get to Raleigh the closest safe zone. Was it Billy or Bobby, no one can is
sure who-is-who between those two local yokels, well one of them has a tow truck
in his garage and is willing to make a run for it. If they can get the RV out of
the ditch everyone can ride in it for the short trip to Raleigh, the safe zone.
As the group is waiting for the tow truck a pregnant woman goes into labor and
Dr. House takes her into a back office to deliver the baby with the help of
Father Romano. Dr. House is distracted by a feverish sick 3 year old girl who
has a stubborn “flu”. The little sick girl’s father is also the newly expecting
father and he like Dr. House is going back and forth checking on both patients.
While Dr. House was checking on the little girl and dad was with his wife
something bad happened, dad stumbled into the chapel mumbling “They’re dead,
they’re all dead.” Duncan ran into the room and saw that whatever had been in
the mother’s womb was no baby. It ripped its way out of the mother’s stomach
chased down Father Romano and disemboweled him. As the group is trying to chase
down this fast moving little monster hiding in the dark between the pews, the
motorcycle gang arrives at the church demanding that the church members
surrender the group. Duncan, in a stroke of genius has the idea of ringing the
church bells and summoning a crowd of zombies to occupy the motorcycle gang
members.
Father Romano and mom zombies sprint into the chapel screeching like dying cats.
They broke down the door from the outer room where they had died. This is the
first time the group has seen “sprinters” and they are much faster and more
deadly than their cousins “shambler” zombies. As the group fights the sprinters
inside the church, the motorcycle gang fights zombies outside of the church. The
motorcycle gang gets chased away by the crowd of zombies. Billy, Bobby, whoever,
pulls up with the RV just as the motorcycle gang is riding out. Everyone jumps
in the RV and are now headed to Raleigh.
