Andy had been stuck in the generator room for over 2 hours and the heat was starting to show on his now sweat dripping skin, he had been sent down earlier after somebody reported a "horrible stench" coming through the air duct, Andy had traced the scent to a large cooling fan that was connected to the malls AC unit, as he removed the last bolt on the stainless steel plating nothing could have prepared him for what was on the other side.
"Holy shit" Andy said as he stared into the single eyeball of a half decapitated skull that was hanging from one of the fans jammed blades, he covered his mouth and gagged, "Oh my god" he said as he stared into the space of what should be a fan but at the moment resembled more of a meat blender, "click" his radio went as he held down the button and spoke to the main desk.. "guys we have a serious problem down here" he said as he stepped back from the carnage, "this is Andy, i need help down here right fucking now, call the cops and get down here now!!" he shouted at the radio once again, but still no answer.
As Andy stared at the mess he heard a low grown coming from the other side of the fan, he strained his eyes to see what it was, there was no way that this person was still alive so what was it. He thought he had seen the worst until his eyes locked on to the source of the noise, it was a woman in blood drenched clothes and what looked like the remains of a human foot hanging from her gaping jaws, "Fuck this!" and shouted "i know a fucking zombie when i see one" he said as his grip tightened on the large wrench he used to undo the bolts on the fans shell, Andy didn't think twice, he sprinted for the door behind him and the second he was through he slammed it shut only to hear a crash from the other side, "shit shit shit" he said to himself as he planned his next move.
