Horrific Shorts: Zombie Edition

Chapter 394 Story 394: The Hunter's Resolve

Zara's boots crunched against the cold stone floor as she slipped free from the Reapers' clutches. She'd done it—escaped.

Zara ducked into a side alcove just as a patrol stormed past. Her tactical holster grazed her thigh as she checked her ammunition. Two clips left. Not ideal, but it would do.

When she finally reached the edge of the electrified fence, Zara set a small explosive charge from her belt.

Zara Kincaid was free—and she was just getting started.
