Plague Of The Revenants Read Online Free PDF

stench of their pursuing numbers was practically unbearable. It was no use. Everywhere I turned there were more of them and it was as though the entire population of revenants was now focused upon me, determined to take me down. There was no way out and to make matters worse I had run myself down a road which put me either side of a fenced off industrial estate so could not even duck into a house for refuge. It was then I saw the car, skewered across the road, its driver side door open from where it had been quickly abandoned. I decided to seize the opportunity. Even if it wouldn’t start I would have refuge for the time being, a precious few seconds to rest up and think. I dashed up to the car as the first of the revenants reached me, diving inside and slamming the door on its inhuman fingers. I locked the doors for all the good it would be and sat back hard against the seat, my eyes closed tight, breathing heavily. But the revenants offered me no let up, converging as one on the car and slamming their hands upon the windows, rhythmically beating down upon it. The sound of a crack attracted my attention and I snapped open my eyes to be greeted with the sight of the windscreen slowly splintering against the weight of a multitude of bodies. I looked around, realising I had no chance of flight then reached desperately for the keys which were by some miracle still in the ignition. I turned the engine over and it stalled almost straight away. I tried again without success then attempted a long pull and this time, to my great relief, the vehicle spluttered to life. I pushed my foot down hard upon the accelerator and the vehicle pressed against the bodies, moved agonisingly slowly but at least it moved. At that moment a revenant lifted up its head and slammed it hard upon the windscreen, shattering the glass which remained in place but nonetheless blocked my vision ahead. I slammed the vehicle into reverse, turned the steering wheel, anything to free myself from the hellish embrace. Suddenly the car lurched forwards. There came a sickening crunch as one of the undead fell beneath the wheels and all at once I was free of the pack. As I drove I saw more vehicles jacknifed across the road, almost all of them streaked with blood, their windows smashed in and their bodywork dented from the force of the revenant attack. I realised then I was making a similar mistake in assuming I was protected by the bodywork of the vehicle. In truth there were simply too many of them. Still, at least I was free and surely on the home stretch. I threw back my head and whooped with joy, accelerated fast and spun the car around the corner, thinking myself home free and almost immediately afterwards colliding head on with a lorry which was spread out across the road. I lurched forward and pitched through the windscreen which now surrendered to my weight and flung me right through on to the bonnet beyond where I sprawled in a heap. Dazed and confused I lay there for several seconds until the advancing moan of the revenant hordes spurred me into action once more. I leapt to my feet and looked towards the car. It was no use. The vehicle’s entire front end was buried under the lorry. I was on my own once more. I turned to see the revenants converging upon me from all angles. I ran once more, heading out of the industrial state and towards the residential areas. I knew this was likely to lead me directly into more hordes but at the same time it might just offer me the shelter I so desperately needed to rest up and take stock of my shattered nerves. All the time my eyes searched around for a vehicle but although I saw many parked up there were none simply abandoned and I was hardly in a position to go rooting for the keys. I ran across the main road, now strangely deserted and completely devoid of life and to my relief spied a row of terrace houses straight ahead. I scanned the darkened windows for signs of life as I approached, for I desperately needed allies
