The small canned item dropping to the floor in defeat as the doors forced it to the ground with a light clack. One moment of fresh air was too much to ask for from a world that took everything from you. One step out of his home-- no this damned airport. One damn step. Part of him panicked, banging loudly on the door to catch the attention of anyone inside but it wasn’t happening for him. He wasn’t alone as he heard the clumsy shuffle, quickly he he grabbed his knife and grabbed a handful of the rotting corpse. He planted the knife in it’s skull and dropped it hastily with a look of disgust he made no effort to hide.
He was busy giving himself a little shake, as if he could rid himself of the presence of the body all together, to shake off the act he’d just committed. He heard the next set of footsteps and furrowed his brow, taking focus and extending a hand slowly in front of him waiting for the approach. Waiting for whatever it was to get closer so he could grab it and just get it over with.
Just get it over with.
