He turned and headed toward the entrance of the building. Kevin was so stunned by the sheriff’s response that for a moment he didn’t move, but not wanting to lose the sudden offer of generosity, he decided it best to quickly fall into step behind the other man.When they reached the guards Mills motioned to Kevin and let them know it was okay for him to enter, and one of the men unlocked the door and held it for them as they passed through, then locked it again behind them.Mills led the way briefly down a couple short hallways and then stopped before a door. He turned to look at Kevin with a solemn expression. “I recommend you be very careful where you stand and move in there. With all your parts.”“What?” Kevin asked, unsure if he had even heard the man correctly.Mills didn’t respond other than to open the door and step on through. Kevin followed behind and then immediately jumped backwards as something lunged at him from the darkness.He bounced into Jensen, who started to laugh.

With that, Mills headed off with Rodrigo, and Jensen and Kevin continued their journey to the station. They hadn’t gone far when Zahra came bounding up to them. “Hey stranger!” she said to Kevin. “Hello little one,” he replied. Zahra did not seem to like that. She crossed her arms and leaned on to her back foot. “I am not little,” she insisted. “Zahra, what are you doing here?” Jensen asked. “I just wanted to say ‘hi’ to the new guy. See how he was settling in. What do you think of our town?”Kevin simply shrugged, but Jensen gave the real answer. “It doesn’t matter. He’s not staying.”“What?” Zahra practically screamed the word. “Why not?”“Because he doesn’t belong here,” Jensen again answered for Kevin. “And where else would you go?” she asked. Demanded, really. Kevin shook his head. “Doesn’t matter. Almost anywhere is safer than here.”“What?” Zahra’s brow knit in confusion. “Shut up!” Jensen hissed, shoving Kevin against the nearby wall. “Sheriff said not to talk about th

“Jesus, he has no ears, sheriff!”Mills looked down at Alan, who he only just now realized had come along. Alan was bent over the first man and trying to inspect him, without much success as the wounded man kept screaming and writhing in pain. “Yeah,” agreed Kevin. “You see, this is his dog here, and apparently he felt the dog needed to be taught a lesson that could only be taught by cutting his ears off. So I figured he might like to try that lesson out himself. After all, a teacher’s gotta be able to give as good as he gets.”“Jesus, you really are insane,” said Mills. Kevin simply laughed. “If being sane means torturing dogs for entertainment, then I’ll happily be insane, thank you.”“Dammit man, they’re just dogs! These are people.”“No,” Kevin hissed, waving at the people on the ground again, still with the knife, “these are animals. This, this right here?” He lifted his hand high as he patted the dog gently on the head a few times, “This is an intelligent and caring creature w

“Wow. You can’t stop moralizing for one second, can you?”Kevin took a deep breath, realizing he was losing control. The confined space was doing that to him. “Look, what I’m saying is, I didn’t do anything to those people that they didn’t deserve. And if the only way that justice was going to happen was through me, then I’m glad it did.”Mills shook his head, just in constant disbelief at the things this young man would come up with.“Well, Darren? The man whose ears you took? Doc says he’s probably gonna need assistance the rest of his life. In a society where I don’t have people to spare. Ideally, your punishment would be to spend the rest of your life being that assistance, but I can’t trust that you wouldn’t just try to end his life when you 'logic out' that he’d somehow be better off dead. So if the only way he’s getting justice is by keeping you in here, locked away, then that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Really, you should be grateful to be in here. Out there they want to

But it was too late for her to take it back now.“What do you mean, you ‘heard’ him?”“Um, I… I just mean, I heard him walking.”“What, like his footsteps?”“Yeah,” Zahra said quickly.“You heard his footsteps from a great enough distance to be sure he wasn’t with anybody else?”With a frown, Zahra realized how unlikely that was.“No,” she conceded. “He was also dragging a box on some skateboard looking thing.”“And what’s in the box?”Zahra shook her head and shrugged. “I don’t know. Honest.”Mills nodded. “Okay, I believe you. Where’s this box now?”“Sheriff, you don’t want anything to do with that box,” Kevin said, before Zahra could answer.“Hey! No one’s talking to you.”“Sheriff, you have to trust me-”“No!” Mills stood up and crossed the room to the cage. “Don’t you dare talk about trust. I gave you a tiny amount of trust and it got me four men in a hospital room with gaping wounds. So don’t you dare talk to me about trust. Your chance is up.”He stormed back to Zahra, grabbing

It was only a matter of time now until the end.He let out a sigh and turned away from the gathered men, and spotted Zahra standing off to the side of the room, staring at the proceedings with a look approaching terror plastered on her face. “Psst,” he whispered, trying to let the noise of the men working cover up the sound as much as possible, and waited for her to notice. She didn’t. “Psst. Zahra. Zahra, come here.”Slowly she turned to face him, her expression becoming much more doubtful as she did.“Zahra, cut me free.”She shook her head. “I’m not really so sure that’s such a great idea,” she replied, but she was at least matching his hushed tones.That was something. “Zahra,” he continued, leaning as far forward as he could against his restraints, “I trusted you in going into the town. Now I need you to trust me. I need you to cut me free, and then you need to run. Like. Hell.”She stared down at his bonds, but then something occurred to her and she looked back at him again, h

The darkness felt like it spun on into eternity, and he dreamed of hiding inside of it forever. But slowly he crawled his way back out, opening his eyes with what felt like a Herculean effort.The light seemed so bright and he closed his eyes again. Being back in the darkness made him feel like he was spinning and falling. He didn’t like the sensation and opened his eyes once more.“Joe, better get down here. He’s awake.”The voice seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once, filling the air around him with more sickening, dizzying whirls. His brain felt fuzzy, he decided. Like, literally fuzzy. Like mold. Or a peach. Or Fuzzy Wuzzy.A face appeared before him, leaning over him, and for the first time he realized he had been staring at a wooden ceiling. And now he was staring at some woman’s face.“How are you feeling?” the face asked, and he realized it was the same voice that had spoken a moment before. “Fuzzy,” he answered. And then after a moment he clarified, “Fuzzy Wuzz

He started away, but stopped and turned back. “Oh, one last thing Gabriel . The description of your rescue I got, it made it sound like this vampire was pretty dead set on getting you over all the others. Did you… did you know this vampire?”“Yes.” As the words came out, Gabriel ’s head drooped into his chest. “Before she was a vampire. That…”He took a deep breath and swallowed, barely able to wrap his head around the words, let alone speak them. “That… was Jake.”Not much later Claire brought him some actual food, which he gulped down gratefully. He realized with some remorse that he hadn’t eaten since before the car crash, which was before he’d entered the cave. And that, according to the timGabriel ne Joe had given, had been five days earlier. He’d been living on just whatever Claire pumped into his I.V. since then. Gabriel couldn’t imagine going nearly six days without food. Before the outbreak he’d almost never gone six hours without food. He realized somewhat depressingly th

At the end of the line Gabriel found another big building, which he knew the moment he stepped inside had to be a barracks. It was like a much larger version of the living quarters at the compound they had found in Texas. Just four long lines of beds stretching across the length of the room, with no care shown for privacy or individuality. All part of the process of breaking the spirit.“Newbie.”Gabriel turned toward the sound of the voice, to see someone, a prisoner, not a guard, judging from his clothes, staring at him. The stranger pointed toward the far wall and said, “You’ll want to see the manager. Hurry up.”Following with his eyes to where the man was pointing, Gabriel could see a window set into the wall, and realized there was probably some kind of office over there. He nodded a quick thanks to the man, only to discover he had already walked away, and then headed down the lines of beds toward the office.The door to the small room was open, and inside he found a woman se

“Uh… no,” replied Gabriel , noting strong hints of what seemed like a British accent in the creatures voice. “It’s an old term for a creature that slowly spreads through a village like a plague.”“Ah, such as the Vourdalak.”Gabriel blinked in surprise at this comment, stunned into silence.“Yes, well,” the creature continued, “it has long been the modus operandi of your kind to blame others for your own wrong doings. Judging from the state of things, I would say you plagued yourselves plenty well enough on your own without any help from me or mine. No doubt you still think yourself clever for the snide comment, however.”Gabriel had felt clever for the remark, but he sure as hell wasn’t going to admit that now.The vampire placed his cane on the ground and leaned on it with both hands, bending down to stare at Gabriel from a smaller distance.“Where are your others?” he asked.Gabriel ’s eyes widened, but he just shook his head. “What others?”“Don’t lie to me. We returned to the

“Turn out all your pockets, then,” said the big man. Gabriel did as he was told, or at least as well as he could seeing as most of the pockets in his cargo pants weren’t really designed for being turned out.When the others were satisfied he wasn’t carrying anything, the man tipped his head up to indicate Gabriel should move through the turnstile.Once through, the first figure motioned for him to stand on a line taped to the floor. She was holding one of the devices from the table in her right hand, a weird thing that looked a little like an electric razor only with a sharp point at the end instead of round blades. Once he was in place she said, “Roll up your sleeve and place your left arm on the table.”“What?” he asked stupidly. “Left sleeve. Arm. Table,” she answered, pointing at each thing in turn as she said it.Gabriel stared at the device in her hands but otherwise did not move. “What are you going to do with that?” he asked.Hands grabbed him from behind, pulling at his

“Hey, what’s the big idea?” Gabriel asked, annoyed. He blinked rapidly, clearing away more of the blurriness, until he could see that this wasn’t Joe and the others. He was surrounded by zombies. Gabriel let out a yelp and fell backwards, only to be shoved again from that side. This time the shove balanced him onto his feet, and he turned around to find that there were more zombies back in that direction, cutting off his path to the inside of the hospital. He turned toward the parking lot, only to see zombies had moved into position there, as well. He continued circling and found that he was surrounded on all sides by the undead. They had trapped him in, with nowhere to run. He felt like crying. He felt like panicking. But neither would help him then. So he closed his eyes, tucked his chin into his shoulder, and waited for the end. But nothing happened. Gabriel could hear some shuffling of feet, some of the eerie, inhuman moans that seemed to be an involuntary sound that the

Gabriel was fairly confident he couldn’t be seen from his position, since the doctor hadn’t noticed him yet. But undoubtedly the doctor was finally taking note of the rearranged equipment in the room. The beds moved out of place, the random cart just visible over the top of the halfway wall. At first glance it all might have looked normal enough, but the closer scrutiny he gave it as he stood there talking was enough to finally make him realize the difference. Bennet stopped talking and began walking, straight down the hallway toward the room. He moved cautiously, as though expecting at any moment to step on a landmine, but he continued on regardless. He reached the door, opening it with the same level of caution, peering around one last time before finally stepping into the room. After a moment he stumbled, one leg catching on a strip of cloth that tore away. A shelf of equipment came crashing down, slamming the door shut and barring across it as various items smashed against the

Horror movies told him that he should be looking at somebody horribly deformed, or wearing the skin of another person, or with a head full of small, scary spikes. Something. This guy could have been his doctor in the days before and Gabriel would’ve thought nothing of it. This man could’ve walked up to the gates of Joe’s little bunker community and they would’ve let him in and never thought twice about it. It was terrifying to contemplate. “Hello?” the man called, and just the sound of that simple word, muted and muffled as it was coming through the wall, turned Gabriel ’s blood to ice.The stranger started to turn away from the room, but then something made him stop and turn back.“Are you there?” the man continued calling out as he surveyed the room through the window with what looked like, at least in Gabriel ’s opinion, a sadistic grin. “That wasn’t what it looked like. I was trying to help that man.”Yeah, real convincing, thought Gabriel , but he remained silent as he crawled

He considered his options, favoring the one that said he could just wait there for the others to show up. But he didn’t know how long that would be and there was some good he could do inside the building while there.So taking a deep, steadying breath he pushed his way through the nearest doorway and headed deeper into the hospital.The hallways were dark, which was expected, but that expectation didn’t stop them from being especially eerie. Somehow, here and there, some emergency lights still clung desperately to life, flickering on and off at random times, throwing long, twisted shadows where they could span across the walls and floors, and leap out from around corners. The daylight provided sufficient illumination to counteract the lack of interior lighting, but as all the windows on the ground floor seemed to be either heavily tinted or located where the light bounced first off of walls before entering the rooms, the bluish glow it created only added to the ominous mood of the hos

“Gabriel !”Sturdy hands wrapped around his upper arms and shook him. He turned his head and his clearing vision made out the image of Joe standing in front of him. “Gabriel , get it together. We have to go. Now!”Gabriel nodded his head and tried to take a deep breath, and then found himself taking several quick gasping breaths. Was he panicking? He didn’t have time to panic.With as much certainty as he could manage he nodded his head. “Right,” he agreed, “let’s go.”They each turned and ran off in separate directions.This had all been worked out in advance, each person memorizing a map of the town, studying it, learning each street and alleyway. They’d all settled on a divided running path before they ever stepped foot outside of the base. So Gabriel knew where to go.Or he thought he did.Though he hadn’t been willing to admit it with the others, he had never been particularly good with maps, not great at visualizing the 2D images with 3D spaces. So it wasn’t that surprising w

“I’m telling you, you go to that place, the only thing you have to look forward to is death. You’re better off here. Just keep your heads down, hide out, and maybe they’ll never come for you. That’s the best thing to hope for.”There was a long silence marked only by the sound of some uncomfortable shuffling. Claire stepped forward so she could get a better look at him. “But… Gabriel … you went into the caves. You tried to make a difference.”“I was wrong, okay?”Gabriel shouted the words so loud that Claire took a step back.“I was wrong. I was an idiot and I was wrong and people suffered because I was wrong. I suffered because I was wrong. The world is worse off now than it was before, all because I had to go play hero. Well there are no heroes. There’s only the living and the dead and you’re either one or the other. You can stay here and stay alive or you can go out there and join the ranks of the dead. Those are your options. I don’t care which you choose, but if you choose deat
