When I reached the top of the stairs, I found a rare variant of the infected. These abominations were deemed runners, fanatics, or Zealots. There were no scientific names for such a horrific beast that was once your loved one. So the global community just called these bastards zombies because they would undergo a frightening transformation. Their muscles would liquify while their bones would twist and contort. Their brains would press up against their skulls and cause additional nerve damage. All this lead to the common zombie being a slow and uncoordinated beast. Yet, the runners were different. Their minds would fall into darkness and their bodies would not suffer such grotesque afflictions. Rather, they would grow faster because they didn't have the chains of fatigue to wear them down.

There was a large closet that forked the path leading to different bed rooms on the second floor. The runner was continuously thrusting its arms into the already damaged door when it broke through. So I focused optical sight for the beast's kneecap and opened fire. The result looked minuscule from the entry wound,but the exit wound was a different story. Its entire kneecap was torn to ribbons as the muscle decorated the wall. The beast was now focused on me as it stumbled over. Its arm was caught in the door, so I shifted my aim to its skull and opened fire. I had taken down my first hostile, which felt both good and bad. However, there was still a matter of the victim to attend to, so I sucked up my fears and approached the door.

I found a young woman huddled up in the corner behind a few coats. Tears were coursing down her cheeks; so I offered my hand to her. At that moment, I couldn't understand why her eyes bulged until I heard a soft growl.

The ghoul bum rushed me so quickly that I only had enough time to shut the door in front of me.The beast slammed me into the door with incredible force as I felt its infamous iron grasp. In retaliation, I dropped down on my ass to throw the lunging assailant off balance. With my free arm, I drew my knife and thrust-ed the cerrated edge into its Adam's apple. Immediately, I carved into the bastard's neck until I felt the spine.

I felt the beast sporadically start a series of spasms as its efforts still were going strong. Yet, I felt its grip loosen and took advantage of this by wrapping my arm around its leg. With this, I could use the attacker's weight as leverage to slam him into the ground. After shaking its death lock, I rolled over and grabbed the hilt of my knife and its upper chest;with one thrust towards opposite directions, I severed the head of the runner.

I will enter this establishment. xD

Great story, I love zombie based fictions.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

500 words? X.X I can never write less than 6,000, and that was because it was meant to be a short story. xD I'll try. >.>

Explicit Cessation

The sounds of the chariot flying overhead startled the people of the land. Clarence, Hariet, Soriano and Trisha, all ran quickly out of their classrooms and into the street. Upon arrival, a scream of horror could be heard from Trisha at the sight of that which stood before them. A monstrous large black fire phoenix, carrying a chariot which held the darkest of all wizards known to humans. His name was Laridorn, infamous criminal, who was until this day, locked up in prison. He escaped easily with the help his phoenix, Ralton, who destroyed the prison, leaving it in shambles. The prisoners even ran for dear life, but none could stop the wrath of Laridorn. The sight was horrendous to the four teenagers, as the streets were littered with devoured bodies. Blood rushed through the cracks of the sidewalk, across the roads and down the buildings. Seeing enough as Laridorn continued to have his way with the town, the four devised a quick plan to try and kill the man and his creature. They split up, and jumped to the rooftops of four buildings, which surrounded Laridorn on all sides. With a leap of faith, they charged toward him with the force of a nuclear missile, each surrounded by a shield of an element. Clarence, the wind, Hariet, the water, Soriano, the fire, and Trisha, the lightning, their elements correspond with their personalities. Clarence, calm as the wind. Hariet, unpredictable as the tide. Soriano, fiery like fire. And Trisha, wild as the lightning. As they got within twenty feet of Laridorn, Laridorn was suddenly paralyzed in place by their teacher, Iliat Johnson. Cursing under his breath, the wizard and his creature suddenly disappeared, but not before sending a curse into two of them. They all four fell feet first onto the street below, as if the 50 foot fall was nothing. It was the end of the world as the people of Calahan knew it. Luckily for Clarence, Iliat and Hariet, as well as a few others, they were able to escape with their lives in tact, as Soriano and Trisha feel lifelessly to the ground. Clarence looked at Hariet, who was in tears at the thought of losing her best friend Trisha, and went over to hold Hariet tightly into his arms. If Clarence had known his father would grow up to be the most evil wizard of all time, he swore he would have killed him as soon as he was able to walk. And thinking in their minds, they know that if the foul beast ever returns, they, and the rest of the people of Calahan might meet the same fate.

443 words. I could have made a book out of that.

[Leafy]

Great story Maikeru. You would have actually used 6,000 words for a short story? xD

Oh and Invisible Fog pm'd his story to me, but most of it got cut off, so post it here Invisible Fog.

I really don't think my story is any better than anyone elses.

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

Yes, 6,000 words lets me develop the characters somewhat. xD

[Monster Addict92]

my chapters are usually about 1,000 characters each or so

[Leafy]

Ok that's it, the round is over. This was a great round, and great stories from all of you all. Now it's decision time. Kunoichi and NS4 will determine the winner.

[Kunoichi]

I'm reviewing all of the entries right now and PMing NS4 ATM.

I have a few thoughts on each one, but I will say that overall I think everyone did a great job. You guys are making the judging part very difficult and that's a good thing!

[XxblackxX]

Yay! >w< I wonder who will win.
