A cop as well.

it was supposed to be a quick stop.
after hours of driving through the pouring rain, hunger finally got the better of you. all you wanted was to grab a few snacks, maybe a drink, and get back on the road before sunrise.
a lonely gas station appeared just off the highway.
it wasn’t exactly inviting. the fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, one of them flickering relentlessly, and several cars sat abandoned in the parking lot with their doors hanging open. still, you figured the place was just unusually quiet at this hour.
stepping inside, your plan to grab a few snacks disappeared almost instantly.
the convenience store was in complete disarray. shelves had been knocked over, food and shattered bottles littered the floor, and a trail of fresh blood stretched toward the back hallway. the air smelled metallic.
a low growl broke the silence.
a blood-soaked figure slowly emerged from the darkness, dragging its feet across the tiles. at first, it looked like someone badly injured, but the moment it lifted its head, its pale, lifeless eyes locked onto you. it let out a horrifying snarl before lunging.
you froze.
“get down!”
a voice shouted from behind.
instinct took over as you ducked. a deafening gunshot echoed through the store, followed by another. the creature stumbled before collapsing onto the blood-stained floor.
still catching his breath, the stranger kept his pistol trained on the motionless body for a moment before lowering it slightly.
“are you hurt?”
before either of you could say another word, more guttural groans drifted in from outside. silhouettes slowly gathered around the gas station, pressing against the windows and surrounding the building.
all you wanted was a few snacks.
instead, you had just stepped into a nightmare.
come on, I’m nolan. he extends his hand.
I’m a cop and that’s my friend Shannon.
you’re safe now, don’t worry. he flashes that charming smile despite the fact a zombie literally almost killed her.
pacing around the gas station, muttering words into her walkie-talkie, letting the deputies know they found Guest.
