Chapter 9

“Finality of Death”

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins.

-Edgar Allan Poe

We slept peacefully, finding comfort in each other’s arms. I don’t know exactly what woke me, Rich or the gunshots, but I sat straight up horrified by the unknown threat upon us.

I searched for my clothes, missing the leg of the jeans while putting them on and I was stuck. Rich was already dressed, checking his gun, and spare magazines. He looked worried and said, “Please stay here. Quickly, find the first aid supplies and be ready. I don’t know what’s going on, but someone is shooting at the trailer.” Peering out the entrance once more he grabbed his knife and continued, “I’m going to try and do what I can. I don’t know if I can, but I think I can cut through the canvas of this enclosure, I’ll sneak out on the backside. Darling, please, don’t make any noise.”

Rich was able to cut a hole in the enclosure and silently slip out into the darkness. I found the med supplies and laid them on the seat of the truck. I prayed I would not have to need them. I find another knife in the center console of the truck, it’s quite sharp, I moved to the side and got down on my knees. Piercing the canvas, I cut a hole that I could look through and see what was going on. I saw four men, but I couldn’t see Rich. They all had rifles that looked like the kind the military guys carried.

Shots from the shotgun that Doc had could be heard above the others. I think he got one because he was close to the door and the shot went right through it, and the guy fell over. The one by the truck had something that was burning and carried it near the trailer. He threw it at the trailer, and it started burning like paper, it was all on fire in just a few moments. Just as he tossed it onto the trailer, he fell over and lay dead. The two others fell one after another.

I heard it, and a shiver went down my spine. A blood-curdling scream could be heard from inside the trailer. I think it is Rebecca, but I’m not sure. I don’t want to sit here anymore dammit where is Rich?

I saw him in the blazing light of the fire, he ran for the door and hauled Doc and Lia out the door, nearly flinging them to the ground. I ran for them. Lia’s jacket was on fire, and she was flailing around. Doc grabbed her, throwing her to the ground smothering it. I ran for the trailer, but it was so hot I couldn’t get to the door. The window in the front smashed out and Joshua handed me Jennifer and climbed out himself. I could see Rich searching in the flames and disappear.
