She looked back

She looked back when she heard the scream. There were two and a half men standing a few meters behind her. The half man looked like he was melting. What he was melting! The two other men started melting too. Where the men use to be standing there was now a hole. In a few seconds the hole was five meters wide. There were shouts and moans coming from the hole. She edged toward the hole slowly. At first all she saw was red, then she saw strange shapes. It looked like there were people trying to climb out of the red hole, except they were very tall, had shark like teeth and it looked like their skin was rotting.
She ran she didn't know what else to do. Of course, she thought this is what they were talking about. On the news they were talking about it being the end. Was this really what an Apocalypse was like, the movies were nothing like it. After about five minutes of running she stopped to catch her breath. She looked around at her surroundings, it was a part of the city she had never been to. There were tall shabby office buildings to her right and to her left were hotels and a few shops. There was a loud thud on the ground near her, She looked to where the sound came from. A body was laying on the ground, from where she was standing it looked like there was dent in the persons face with blood and bones coming out. She looked for a place to hide, she found an ally with big boxes in it she jumped into a box and turned it upside down. There was a small hole in the box which she could see out of. One of the shark mouthed creatures walked past but stopped a meter away from where the girl was hiding. It stared straight at the box she was hiding in then slowly walked off. After what seemed like ages she carefully so not to make any sound got out of the box. She peered out of the ally it was all clear. There was no point in staying there so she decided to walk around the streets to see if she recognized any of it.
After a while she came to another hole except it was blue instead of red. She looked around and saw human entrails splattered along the street. There was a tree house near by with a ladder hanging down, so she decided to climb up and stay there for a while. It felt pretty safe, she was quite that none of the creatures could get up there. After a few minutes siting in the tree house her eyelids started to feel heavy, and she fell asleep. She woke and slowly stood up, there was a weird scraping sound, Then two clawed hands burst through the floor making splinters fly everywhere, and now there was a large hole in the floor. One of the creatures pulled itself up and out of the hole. It walked over to where the girl was standing, it starred at her with dark blue eyes. Then it slammed her against the wall with one big shove. The girl felt the side of her head, blood was pouring out as she fell to the ground. She looked up as the creature jabbed his clawed hand into her chest and ripped out her heart and started chewing it slowly. That was the last thing she saw before she died.
