My gut reaction was to run to the ends of the train, but that's where the zombies were biting everyone. I slunk down into a corner, hoping everything would go away. I looked across from me to see a little girl crying. I remembered seeing her and her mom board the train earlier. They were probably separated, and if I don't do anything, both of us will be killed as well. I clenched my fist, and gritted my teeth to confirm my resolution and courage to do what I needed to do. I was scared and have no idea what to do, but if I focus on...
