U.G.L.Y (25 page)

Eventually
I
couldn't
take
it
any
more,
and
I
pulled
her
off
of
me just as I was beginning
to
climax.
She
grabbed
my throbbing erection
hard
and
pulled
me
over
the
top
of
her.

“
I
want
to
watch
you
cum
”
she
said
softly.
She
stroked
me one last time
and
I released, covering her
breasts.
My legs shook as s
he
kept
pulling
, releasing
every
ounce I
had
left
my
body.

She
was
almost
purring
as
she
rubbed
it
into
her
skin.
I
loved
the
feeling.
I watched her as she rubbed her breasts, then collapsed, breathing heavy next to her. We
lay
still
for
a
moment
breathing
hard
then
kissed.
It
was
only
minutes
before
we
were
both
asleep.

    
Morning
came
and
I
opened
my
eyes
to
see
Eve
staring
back
at
me
.
She
smiled
softly
and
ran
her
fingers
though
my
hair.
I
got
out
of
bed
and
walked
over
to
the
window.
All
looked
quiet
out
side
and
I
wondered
if
this
was
the
last
time
they
would
have
this
kind
of
peace.

We needed to get back on the road. I
turned
around
to
look
at
Eve's
naked
form
one
last
time.
She
laid
on
the
bed
looking
at
me
seductively.

“
Make
love
to
me
again,
just
once
more
before
we
go
”
she
said.
I
smiled
and
walked
to
her,
and
we spent the morning indulging in each other until we were spent
. As we packed I started to daydream about staying with Eve. That daydream you have when you start to like someone. For a moment it felt good.

-City
by
the
Sea-

    
Eve
slept
quietly
in
the
passenger
seat
as
we
drove
north
through
Oregon
and crossed the border into
Washington
state heading towards
Tacoma
.
As
we
got
closer
the
weather
worsened
and
it
became
harder
and
harder
to
see
more than a few hundred yards ahead of the car
.

I
began
to
get
nervous.
W
ith
little
visibility
it
would
be
difficult
to
see
in
advance
if
the
infection
had
reached
Tacoma
before
we
might
find
ourselves
surrounded
and
in
trouble.
As we got closer to the city limits we were surrounded by fog and visibility dropped to 50 or so feet.

I
was
right
to
be
worried.
A
s
we got closer we came across abandoned cars on the freeway. It rapidly became a maze of burned vehicles that was increasingly more difficult to navigate. S
lowly  I inched the car forward and through the fog I could hear screeches.

“Shit, where are we?” I said, I was alarmed now. I didn't want to be in the city. The weather had gotten so bad that before we knew it we had exited the freeway and were in downtown
Tacoma
. The screeching grew louder and before long we were surrounded by hosts.
At
first
they
were
scattered
but
very
quickly
we
found
ourselves
driving
through
narrow
city
streets
with
hosts
very
aware
we were there
.

     “
Eve!
Wake
up
” 
Eve
sat
up
abruptly,
stunned
and
sleepy
eyed.

“
Get
dressed
and
grab
what
you
can,
were
not
going
to
be
able
to
drive
much
further
”

We
drove
on
and the fog began to lift. I could clearly see
host's
beginning
to
pour
out
of
buildings
and
run
after
the
car. A large group of them gathered
in
front of us and
ran
directly
into
the
vehicle.
At first they didn't effect the forward motion of the car
but
as
the
groups
got
larger
it
got
more
difficult
to
drive
through
them.

     “
Shit,
hang
on!
” I yelled.

Through
the
wall
of
hosts
in
front of us
I
could
make
out
an
empty
ally
with
a
gate
that
was
partially
open.
I
put
my
foot
on
the
accelerator
,
knocking down hosts and running over them
.
I could hear bones crunching under the weight of the car.

I
thought
if
I
could
get
enough
distance
between the car and the mob, we
could
exit
the
car
and
get
through
the
gate.
If I got it closed fast enough we might be okay
.
If
the plan worked
the
vehicle
would
keep
rolling
and
the hosts would follow
.
I
had
no
idea
what we would do after that.

    
So
far
my plan
was
working.
A
fter
breaking
through
the
crowd
there was
at
least
a
block
between
the
car
and
the
hosts.
They
were
moving
fast
but
I
got
close
to
the
gate,
pushed
E
ve
out
and
jumped
out
of
the
passenger
side
door
right
behind
her.
The
car
kept
moving
as we
slipped
through
the
open
rod
iron
gate
and
closed
it
behind
us
.
We
huddled
down
in
a
shaded
corner
of
the
ally
and
waited
to
see
if
we
had
made
it.
The
hosts
continued
pursuing
the
car
as
it
sped
off
down
the
road,
pilot-less, clumsily grazing parked cars as it went.
For
the
moment
we were
okay. I had no idea
what
we
were
going
to
do
next
.

-Fortress-

    
Looking
down
the
alley
there
were
few
doors
leading
into
adjacent
buildings.
On
the
opposite
end
of
the
alley
I
could
make
out
another
gate
that
was
locked.
Beyond it I
could
see
hosts
moving
past
the
gate
in
the
distance,
shadowy
figures
lumbered
past
in
large
numbers.
