Martin was trembling in fear. He knew the fat lady was ape, but this was worse than he imagined. The brawny lady was slowly getting closer, and closer, and closer with each small step, as her swollen eyes fixated on him as if she was trying to start a staring contest. Martin could hear each deep breath of the wheezing lady causing him to breath harder as if the heavy breathing was contagious. Martin was sweating as the heat of the moment worsened. Martin attempted to call for help, but no one could hear him. “Why so scared Martin?” the lady said while grabbing his scrawny, defenseless arms and fastening him against the wall almost like she was attempting to push him through the side of the fossil, unsanitary, elevator. The only thing Martin could do at this point was scream for help, but again, no one could hear him. The lady’s large, hairy hand was now covering …show more content…
“POP” The two chords holding Martin's life in its hands snapped. Sending the elevator flying to the ground passing floor, by floor, Martin knew his life was over. If only his dad had believed him. The elevator hit the ground. Causing a huge explosion. Martin felt himself hit the ground. But not as hard as he expected. He looked down only to realize he landed on top of the fat lady, who was no longer breathing. Everything around Martin was on fire. Martin screamed, hoping someone could hear him. In the corner of his eye, Martin saw 3 tall men in yellow and orange suits carrying a stretcher over to him. “Finally,” Martin thought. “I'm safe” The three men lifted Martin up and put him on the stretcher, although he didn't need it. As Martin was being put in the ambulance, his dad walked up. Repeatedly apologizing for not believing him and telling him it was going to be ok. The next day, Martin left the hospital without a scratch, only to be interviewed by the police. Martin and his dad moved far away and were never seen

Why else would she stare at him like that?” This proves that the woman was stalking Martin because the story ended as the woman spoke and said, “Hello Martin, she said, and laughed and pushed the stop button on the elevator. Martin got onto the elevator because he didn't believe in himself, and believed his father and got stuck in the elevator with the woman.
The infected in the area of the thrown explosive instinctively reached for the bomb as if it were edible. It went off sending a shock wave through the bus and rattled its grill with screws and nuts which Albert had used for shrapnel. The kids screamed, frightened by the blast. Flesh and bodily fluids cover the bus’s front windows in gore. After turning on the wipers, Albert noticed a crack in one of the front windows. “Not so close!” he shouted at Ryan. “You’re going to shut the engine down if you blow the radiator!”
Martin quivered, and with a shaky voice, asked “Who are you?” The lady looked confused as to if Martin should have known her name. Martin now somehow recognized her a little bit more when that expression hit her face, but he was still clueless. Martin yelled a bit louder “Who are you, tell me now!”
He figured that he would go to jail either way so he was just going to kill him now in front of everybody. Joe looked for a weapon a knife or even someone with a gun that he could take to shoot him.
