I was completely shocked and the reality of my situation began to set in. The door to the background through which I’d entered was suddenly blocked, supposedly by the injured store clerk I’d passed on the way in, so I had to pass the deceased cop and zombie to retrieve a key to another door, and the zombie stood back up. With an already limited cache of ammunition for my simple sidearm I stood steady and landed a few well-placed shots into the zombie’s face, sending him to the ground with a thud.
