Chapter 8 – Holdout

The car sped down David’s driveway toward his home. With still no sign that the Beast had followed them, the group relaxed as they neared the house. Rain still poured all around them causing the empty fields around David’s house to be little more than pools of water and mud. Holiday drove the car straight up to the front door, stopping it as one of the front tires rolled onto the screen door David had ripped off earlier. The twisted wreck around the tree and the body of the man were still lying in the same spot as when they left. It was a painful reminder to David of everything that has happened and how messed up everything had become.

“What the hell happened here?” Eric asked, peering out of the window into the rain.

“A lot.” David replied and opened the door stepping out. The cold of the rain on the grass pierced his feet once more, taking his mind back to when he first ran outside two nights ago. His feet had been through a lot since everything started. But surprisingly, this was the first time he had thought about them being bare since he left his home. It was sheer luck he had not stepped on some sharp debris or scrapped his foot on a patch of broken glass earlier. He chided himself for not asking Vivian if she had an extra pair at her house. He walked across the lawn to his front door. He opened it and motioned for everyone to go inside. The others jumped out of the car and headed into the house. Holiday walked up to David, paused and then looked back saying,

“Glove compartment.” He snapped his fingers and ran back to the front seat of the car. Everyone else was inside except for David, Vivian, and Holiday. Viv paused beside David at the door smiling at him. She went to speak as the rain covered her completely but her face turned blank. She pointed to the field beside David’s house; David looked at the field trying to see through the heavy rain that poured all around them. It took him a few seconds but he finally saw it: a group of zombies tromped slowly through the mud. The reason Lone Tree looked so clear earlier was because all the zombies had moved on. The zombies had headed out of town and across the field by David’s house on their way to Iowa City. Just then the rain slowed, it still drizzled enough to still be called rain but made seeing into the distance much easier. David and Viv then saw the true horror. It was a horror that put all of the previous sights to shame. Thousands of zombies filled the field. As they looked around, they saw even more in the other fields nearby. David’s driveway was also filled with zombies as more walked past. David’s house was surrounded. The zombies didn’t seem to notice the group yet.

“Get inside.” David said quietly to Vivian.
