[ Joel only hesitates long enough to be sure the chairs will hold a moment longer before he sprints to the other room, grabbing the far end of that table without a thought. It's long enough to brace against the hall's other side, and ought to hold well enough.

Paint and cheap wood chip as he wastes no time manhandling the table through the open door, but there's already a gap where a few enterprising zombie shoppers have begun to claw their way into their narrow back hall. At least they pull back when their arms are crushed by the added weight of the table, blocking them out.

Joel leans on his side for a second to catch his breath, as the rattling loses some of its urgent, dangerous edge. That was a whole lot closer than he'd have liked. ]
