Liam watched the shepard slide down easily enough. "I think...I think I could do that..." he said although he was glad that he didn't have to try. After all he was much safer here in the attic than running about the darkened alley ways and streets.
After all, zombies couldn't climb.
There was a loud crash from the window across the room as a zombie thrust its head through the glass. The severely mauled beast had once been a squirrel. It growls at him as it continues to push itself through the window, breaking class and the wooden frame.
"Oh that is just not fair...." the marten whines. He backs away until his tail is pressed against the window behind him. Then again, staying here un armed with no food or supplies didn't sound like a good idea anyways.
Taking off his vest the marten wraps it around the rope before pulling himself through the window...and getting stuck at the waist. Liam tries to pull his fattened body through but it is wedged tight. "This is so not fair! This is so not fair!" Aware of the squirrel growing ever closer the marten holds his breath and sucks in his gut. Even then he has to wriggle to work himself out of the window, coming out with a resounding pop.
He twists around, planting his feet against the house he lets out a paniced yelp and leans away from the squirrel as it swipes at him."Gah!" He screams. "AAAH!" with out thinking he slides down the rope at a hurried page, it quickly burns through the vest in his paw...and the marten's weight eventually snaps the line from the roof about halfway down.
Liam doesn't have a chance to scream. He just falls like a sack of potatoes, landing hard on his back. "Oh blazes..." the marten rolls back and forth in pain, hopeing against hope that he didn't break something. He looks up and his eyes widen, his ears fall flat with fear to the sight of the squirrel falling after him!
He rolls to the side with a paniced chitter, the zombie landing with a sickening crash head first where he just was. "Gaaaaah!" He screams, he screams again when the broken mass of squirrel begins to crawl after him.
Picking himself up Liam quickly rushes after the shepard with a slight limp.
Back in the house the sounds of zombies increases...brought out side by the sound of falling beasts they begin to pour out of the back door at a slow but steady pace...
((Thqts twice now Liams weight nearly got him killed
I wonder if he will survive a third...
