Ben slammed the backdoor open. No zombies. He still had to take care of that little screamer who was following him. "Do you like candy?" Ben asked to the little girl. Immidiately the girl went silent. "Mummy told me not to get candy from strangers." "I am no stranger. I am a friend of the family." "How come I have never seen you before?" Darn, that kid was smarter than Ben thought. Oh well, at least she came downstairs with him. How hard would it be to make her come with him? "Come, there is no time. We have to go, the door will catch fire and then the zombies will come in. You dont want that to happen, dont you?" The little girl shaked her head. "Well, my name is Ben. Whats yours?" "Alice" said the little kid. "Well Alice, we are going to run a bit, okay? Just keep close to me." And after these words, they ran.
Ben stopped for a moment to look around. The house where they were just in was engulfed in flames. Inside you could see some zombies walking around aimlessly, burning like walking torches. Ben knew there was nothing he could do. As soon as he looked towards Alice, the house burned down and she felt a bit shocked. Poor Alice. Lost her family at such young age, and now Ben was the onliest one who could take care of her. Ben was thinking about his wife. Alice reminded Ben about her. Especially those eyes were reminding Ben about her. Ben kept thinking about his wife, until Alice said "why are you crying?" Ben was a bit shocked that he was crying. He tried to cover his tears up, and said "Well Alice, you remind me of my wife. She was looking just like you." Alice knew how hard it was for Ben.
