Deadly Silence

Write a narrative centered around a hushed zombie elimination mission.

In this prompt, take on a stealthy narrative with a protagonist who has chosen a silent approach to eradicate the undead, making the decision to use close-quarter weapons. Explore the tension and suspense, the strategies involved, and how silence adds to or detracts from the thrill of hunting the undead. This allows for introspection into the mentality behind such a silent but deadly approach, as well as the exploration of fear, courage, and tactics.
