street toward him. Countless red eyes stared out of the huge ball of monsters, their limbs thrashing about chaotically. It looked like someone stood atop the gigantic bowling ball, cackling, and Chris knew it was Todd right away.
“Holy shit!”
He ran around the car, found Spade lying on the ground, broken glass sprinkled all around him.
“Spade…Spade, wake up. Wake up! ” Chris fell to his knees, slapped the man’s face. He looked up at the approaching boulder, gasped, then jumped back to his feet. Once again, his instincts told him to leave Spade there and drive the fuck away. But he found himself flinging the passenger door open, reaching down and grabbing Spade by his armpits.
A loud crash erupted, and Chris swung his eyes toward it to see the demon boulder rolling over parked cars, smashing against the side’s of buildings. As it grew nearer, he heard the roars and growls of the demons, along with maddening laughter and giggling.
Chris bent at the knees, straightened his back, and lifted. His wounds came alive with agony then, and he couldn’t stop the scream that blew from his stomach, but he clenched his teeth and fought through it, got Spade high enough off the ground to waddle to the car and dump him in.
He slammed the door, but Spade’s foot was still dangling out, and the door flung back out, the foot flinching to life.
“Aw…fuck!” Spade whimpered and pulled his foot in, clutched at his ankle with shaking hands.
Chris slammed the door again, glad to see Spade awake and himself again, but there wasn’t any time to do anything but run. Todd’s laughter was audible over the destruction of the ball, and the demons’ eyes lit the entire street with bloody luminescence.
Chris’s hands shook as he tried to swing the driver’s door open. Sprinting toward him down the street, following the wrecking ball, were hundreds of others. Former people, all shapes and sizes and ages. Where their flesh had been torn open or split or chewed on, new appendages, tentacles, claws, mouths sprouted forth.
Spade’s scream from inside the car snapped Chris out of his trance as he watched them storm toward him, and he swung the door open and hopped in. The keys still dangled from the ignition and the car still idled, and Chris threw the car into Drive, slammed his foot to the floor.
He checked the rearview mirror, saw the demons right on their tail. Todd’s legs moved like he was on a treadmill, and he pointed a clawed finger toward the beamer as it picked up speed.
“What the fuck is goin’ on? What…what the fuck is that?” Spade had his body turned around in the passenger seat as he watched through the broken rear windshield. The roars and cackling of the beasts grew louder by the second. “Faster, man! Faster! They comin’ up on us quick!”
“I’m fucking trying!” He swung the car with a sharp right turn on a random street, but the demon ball turned with him, closing in fast.
“Here they come! Ah shit! ” Spade quickly buckled his seatbelt, squeezed his eyes shut, braced his hands on the dash.
In the next instant, the car was hit from behind, and the creatures howled with excitement, reached out and scraped talons and teeth across the car metal. The rear of the car dipped, throwing the front end into the air before slamming back down. Spade screamed as Chris grunted and barely missed slamming into a parked car.
“Fucking do something!”
“You can’t stop us!” Todd’s voice, coated with a demonic gruffness. “We’ll tear you to pieces, and I’ll drag your soul back to hell with me!”
Boom!
The tires squealed as they were shoved forward. Chris’s hands pulsed and fresh blood ran down his arms. A face appeared in the driver’s window, unhinged its mouth to reveal the rows and rows of teeth, the eyes making Chris squint as he reached out with his bleeding palm.
Blood drops rained from his wound as the wind hit it, sprinkling the creature’s head. It hissed as the blood sizzled
