章 50: A Horrific Shriek

After scavenging all of his equipment, Zane found himself prepared to leave the shopping mall. However, as he began to pass by the archway which led towards the cashier area, an archway which was actually a giant aquarium, one that was now full of mostly dead fish. A gunshot echoed in the air, but Zane had only heard the shot after he felt the pressure of a round whip past his face.

The bullet missed its mark, particularly because Zane had shifted at the last moment, reaching down towards the ground where he saw a small, and blood stained stuffed bear. Zane did not have time to further examine this peculiar, and out of place object. Instead, he dashed behind cover, not knowing where the bullet had come from.
