Nightshift 42: Weigal Street
[ from here. ]
Hijikata ran as far down Main Street as he could before making a sharp left turn onto a less populated street, trusting the intuition that told him to "take the road less traveled" and get out of the places with lots of people, because zombies eat people and if there were some hundred mayonnaise-lathered beef-dons parading on one street all together, you'd go with that flow, too.
He remembered only a little about this street from hearsay and maps, but there really were fewer zombies here (even if the number present was still staggering). The flip side to there being fewer people, hence fewer zombies was that the zombies that were here were zeroing in their focus on him. Hijikata thought briefly that he might have miscalculated when he ran headlong into a semicircle of undead corpses halfway down the block.
This is really starting to piss me off, he thought irritably as he came to a stop in front of them, pausing for a moment to glance at what parts they had left to attack him with before turning his head and finding that the Nailpolish Trio had followed him onto this street as well.
Oh, hell.
