When I came round again a few moments later, Ambrose was dragging the freezer corpses outside. He didn’t retrieve the spike he had driven through the second thing’s jaw and out the top of its head. Maybe he had plenty of spikes left in his belt, left over from…an old tent? Actually, I couldn’t think where these spikes were from. Again I thought that they looked rather a lot like bayonets, only with handles. I think they must have been designed for killing, not camping.

“Are they like vampires?” I asked, looking away as he dragged the body past. I didn’t like to think about the strength necessary to drive that thing through so much bone—and floor. Ambrose was one of the good guys, and I had to be glad for whatever had changed him into this inhumanly strong person, even if it was very, very weird.

Ambrose turned to stare at me. He had rinsed his face. I got a distracted smile. His head was cocked and he was listening. I remembered then that I had fired my gun and that might have attracted other monsters.

“In what sense?” he asked. He didn’t say anything about how I shouldn’t be silly, that vampires weren’t real, and I made a note to ask about this later, along with how it was he could sometimes talk to me without using actual words.

“Do you have to leave the spike in…like a stake in a vampire?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t a lot of experience with ghouls. I know they’re harder to kill than zombies. The main thing is that this one kept trying to bite me even after I destroyed the heart. I’m afraid it rather pissed me off and I got a bit violent.” He winked. “I don’t want that stake back. It’s covered in blood and brains now.”

One thing processed. “That’s a ghoul, then? I thought it was.” I noticed the creature’s teeth and malformed jaws. It was like someone had taken a set of large teeth and stuck them into a smaller skull. I could have pulled back the lips to check on this, but even with the spike in place that action seemed the dumbest risk since Icarus thought: Why not fly to the sun?

“Yes. Look at its legs.” Ambrose dragged it farther down the passage so I could see its lower body. From the hip bones down they were warped, roped with muscle and covered in dark hair.

“They’re…What are they?” I shuddered. It was a weak effort but I was still very tired. The skin of my chest was sore and I looked down, unsurprised to see a handprint. Had Ambrose had to give me heart massage?

“Not human. Maybe gorilla.”

Gorilla. I pulled my eyes up from my chest and looked at the face again. That’s what this was. The lower half of the head was ape, the top half human. Those weren’t tattoos on its cheeks; those were staples holding the two halves together. A wave of nausea rolled through me, but I was getting better at accepting horror.
