A dune buggy of memories

A dune buggy travels through the streets filled with debris. Debris from cars that have not made it to their destination. In those cars charred remains of people who failed to get there. Ash filled the air all you can see is gray for miles. And that runs into a gray horizon. The vehicle does its job with its huge puncture free tires rolling over the remains of what seemed to be a neighborhood with pets and families. It is a mere shell of what it once was…alive. The man driving is unrecognizable in a gas mask to protect him from the toxic air. Military gear from head to toe as his boots hits the accelerator to get the buggy over multiple cars on this road of decay. As he is slowed down you see red eyes peer through the cloud of ash. Shadows seem to be gaining on the buggy. The man sees their approach as red eyes appear to have gained on him to his right sprinting atop of the houses next to him. He reaches to his passenger seat and pulls out a multiple barreled weapon with a revolving chamber. The green light from his weapon giving the user the aim he needs to make his shot. He pulls the trigger. The back fire makes him swerve as his target disappears behind an explosion. The growling is still coming as the red eyed creatures are still in the rearview. He knows that he has to get these red eyed creatures off his tail as he is coming to his destination. As his GPS alerts him by showing a blink hologram of location as it is to his final spot. He must get rid of them now!

He pulls the hand break and jerks the steering wheel to the right. Drifting his buggy to an stop into the middle of the intersection. He stands on his seats grabs the stationary machine gun on top of the buggy and swings it back and forth. Hitting the red eye creatures from the left to the right. Knocking them off buildings and getting the ones in the street. Then the 50 cal guns runs out. The creatures keep coming. He grabs his pistols on his sides. With the desert eagles uses deadly aim hitting the rest of the beasts knocking them to the ground. As the last one approaches he empties what was left of the bullets. In a final heave of desperation the monster leaps. It is close enough you can see its fangs and razor sharp claws. Hairless concrete like body and long bony tail. The creature falls short. The man quickly reloads all his weapons and replaces himself in position to fire again. The next wave is a ways off.

He pulls up to his destination. A worn down house. He kicks in the door guns drawn. He searches the house in a panic. Looking, searching and finding nothing but an empty house. He goes upstairs he sees a door with a heart covered in dust and ash. He opens it to find it deserted with a boarded windows as if to prevent something from entering. He then runs to the master bedroom. He races to it and opens up the door. As it opens he drops his gun and falls to his knees. At this moment he begins to weep. He pulls on his gear exposing his neck. He reaches in with his other hand and pulls out a half of a silver heart. He reaches on to the bed and slowly pulls a chain out of a clutched hand. Blood runs on the chain as he pulls it towards himself. Out of the hand falls an exact opposite half of the silver heart. He hinges the pieces together and it shines a hologram of a family holding each other, hugging each other, loving each other. The air is now filled with the muffled bellow of the gas masked wearing man.

This cry seemed to attract the red eyed creatures to his location. They now have matched his sound with their own growling and gnawing of teeth. The scraping of claws on the roof and breaking of windows now occupied the house. Creatures started crawling in the doorway from the walking path. Our hero stands to his feet guns in hand facing the bed. He now raises his head as he hears the creatures crawling on the side of the house towards him. Red eyes have now pierced the window. At that very moment he raises his right arm with deadly aim fires multiple machine rounds into the creature as it falls to its death. He spins towards the door gun raised as he slams a charge on the wall to his ext. He slides out the door as he sees claws entering from the opposite wall and fires in that direction hitting the creature in its mouth through its skull splattering its bright blue blood across the wall. The slide lands the warrior into the wooden railing of the second floor. He attempts to get up stumbling as he heads for the stairs and more red eyed creatures have come through the ceiling. He slams into the wall leading down stairs giving him enough momentum to place a charge there as well. As he looks down the stairs two more creatures occupy the space needed and another enters the front door. Raising his left hand towards the ceiling he releases a grappling hook from his gauntlet with a wire attached to it. It repels him over the monsters who leap for him only to be met by the machine gun bullets. As his body hits the wall in front of him. He drops his gun as he falls landing with one knee up and one down facing the creature blocking the door. The monster pounces on him as he reaches for his side arm knocking them into the adjacent room. He is able to hold off the bites as he blasts into the skull of the creature. He rolls the creature off of him covered in blue blood. As he gets up monsters fill the front exit. The man looks to his right and sees the kitchen area wide open. He starts to run towards it taking two more charges throwing one above a fire place and another above the stove as the monsters chase him.

He pulls the machete from his back sheath. He sees a creature creeping behind the island in the kitchen. The man leaps on to island and the creature attacks. While the creature is exposed the man slices through the body of the monster as he jumps out the glass window. He rolls into the backyard and presses the detonator blowing all the charges in the house. The backyard is covered in debris, blue blood and creature parts. A gauntlet emerges from the rubble. He climbs his way out of the mess and makes his way to his transportation. He takes the look at the silver heart shaped locket around his neck one last time and begins to drive down the street. As he drives off more red eye creatures start to appear in the chase growling.
