The man will surely die to the two zombies, and you can't let that happen.

You take one last look through the window. The two infected women charge across the field, though their stiff limbs keep them from a full sprint. The injured man lifts the pistol over his shoulder and fires back at the zombies, missing wide.

You run to the door and unlock it. Hopefully, he can make it to your house before the infected women catch up. You throw the door open and rush towards the man.

"Hey, over here!" you yell as you wave your arms frantically. The man turns in your direction and rushes towards your house. The two zombies close upon their victim, and he turns to aim his pistol at the closest woman. His pistol pops, and the first zombie flinches from a bullet in her shoulder. The man fires again and again until the gun empties, then he fumbles to load a new magazine. As it slides into place, the second woman claws him from behind, knocking him to the street.

The injured man raises the pistol as the second woman lunges at him. Blood explodes through exit wounds in her back. You hear the man scream, and the dead woman's head thrashes at his neck. The other zombie drops to his leg, and when she pulls her head back, a splash of blood coats her face.

You stop at the curb and watch in horror as the two zombies feast upon the man.
