i almost pulled that trigger
almost took up that three pounds of slack and let that rifle do its job
but those eyes kept that rifle from kicking
“LEE, HOLY SHIT , your ok” i yelled, happier at that moment than i could possibly have imagined being while surrounded by a burning town full of undead
she ran to my arms, and like magic i felt fullfilled, i had a job now, i had to keep her safe
a moan, and a scraping noise brought to my attention a few new visitors
“Lee, get behind me and hold on to my vest” i said, quickly
my rifle came up to my shoulder, of its own accord, the scope not needed for this range, my training taking over
BOOM , the gun roared and bucked in my hands
my fingers didnt fumble as i racked the next shell into the chamber
BOOM
i felt a tug at my waist, and the sound of a pistol round being chambered
BOOM , the pistol discharged
looking down i see Lee, pistol in hand, and to the left i saw a dead zed
“jesus lee, u saved my life”
she smiled as she said “shit, now im stuck with u”
