Chapter 2: The Last Stand.

Sarah stumbled through the abandoned streets, her heart racing with fear and exhaustion. She had been on the run for days, constantly on the move to avoid the relentless pursuit of the zombie horde.

Finally, she stumbled upon a group of survivors holed up in an abandoned building. They were tired, hungry, and scared, but they had managed to fortify their position and hold off the zombies for the time being.

Sarah was relieved to find other survivors, and quickly introduced herself to the group. They welcomed her, but warned her that their situation was dire. They had been holding out for days, but their supplies were running low and the zombies were closing in.

Sarah knew that they were in a bad spot, but she also knew that they couldn't give up. They had to make a stand, to fight back against the undead and try to survive as long as they could.

As the sun began to set, the zombies began to gather outside the building. The survivors made their preparations, fortifying their defenses and arming themselves as best they could. They knew that this would be their last stand, their final chance to fight back against the horde.

As the night fell, the zombies began their assault. They battered at the doors and windows, trying to break through and reach the survivors inside. But the survivors fought back with everything they had, using guns, knives, and whatever else they could find to hold off the relentless onslaught.

The battle was brutal and bloody, with the survivors suffering heavy losses. But they refused to give up, fighting on even as their numbers dwindled.

Finally, as the first light of dawn began to break over the horizon, the zombies began to retreat. The survivors had held their ground, but at a terrible cost.

Sarah looked around at the survivors, their faces lined with exhaustion and grief. They had survived the night, but they all knew that the battle was far from over. The zombies would be back, and they would have to be ready for them.

The last stand had been a victory, but it had also been a warning. The survivors knew that they couldn't afford to let their guard down, not even for a moment. In this new world, they were all that stood between the living and the dead.
