SIXTY TWO
The bleeding woman hit the ground hard, coughing up drips of vomit. Her leg was broken and her body cut. Looking up from the dirt of the underground tunnel floor, the silhouette of death walked at a brisk pace down the steps towards her, passing a trail of fresh crimson.
Meryl turned away. Her breathing was erratic as her arms dragged her body towards a door, blurred by her mind, desperately trying to assess and understand the situation.
Liquid Snake dropped his empty gun, and jumped down the last concrete step as Meryl crawled through a nearby door, slowly pushing it shut. Clumps of red hair littered the stairway and small corridor, tinged with green from the flickering lights surrounding them.
He approached the wooden door fast as it closed. Meryl pulled herself up from the inside using the door handle, leaning on her left leg, shaking under the pain of the embedded bullet in her right kneecap. Shaking with fear. There was no lock to the door, and she pressed herself against the cold wood, praying to a God she had lost faith in.
A broken pipe above leaked raw sewage over her hands as she collapsed against the door, when a sharp blade cut quickly through the pine, scratching the back of her arm. She screamed and moved her body away, pushing the temporary barrier with just her hands as Liquid slammed himself against the other side. Her bloodied hands slipped about on the wet door, and the muscles in her arms weakened. He wouldn’t stop.
Sewage flicked back onto her face with the next bang, and she spat at the ground; her stomach churning. Blinded by pipe water, she closed her eyes tight, and the hell around her turned to black.
Her arms still fumbled on the door as it fell off its hinges, and in a desperate battle of strength between the two, she managed to stay on the opposite side. Liquid swore insults, echoing from the hall behind her. Her head span fast to find the sound, and what was left of her hair flung across her wet face. No one there. She turned back quickly to see the dark, cold stare of Liquid Snake standing above her. He didn’t smile as the knife was thrust into her gut. She jolted forwards in silence.
Meryl fell towards Liquid.
He held out his arms to catch her.
Her eyes flickered uncontrollably before they closed. This was the end.
Blood trickled from her mouth once more, and she lost all sense of reality.
Liquid dragged the woman’s lifeless body down empty corridors. Into the darkness. Further down into the ground. Meryl. Silence.
