Chapter 14 – Sean

Sean had always been a fairly solitary man. Before the invasion, he’d had his work friends, and went out on occasion, but in his old life he’d been at home alone more often than not. Even here, surrounded by everyone… people tended to leave him alone. In the past he’d thought it likely his looks and social status, although it had never really bothered him. Now… he knew it was his presence, plus, the whole zombie thing.

At least he wasn’t alone now, he was never alone with Cynthia at his side, and he’d grown accustomed to it, even liked it. Cynthia had become so much more than she’d started out as, to him, and more and more he had found himself using her as a sounding board for his ideas. Sure, the sex was a part of it, maybe a big part, but it was more than that now.

But still, for the most part, it was just Cynthia, his growing army of undead outside, and his thoughts. Most others… stayed away unless they had a question or request, which mostly they asked Cynthia about. That’s why he’d felt a little uncomfortable all day, not in a bad way, just outside of his comfort zone. Because when he’d gone to check on Cassie in the morning, she had followed him when he left, just an unobtrusive presence, and he felt… studied.

Like Cassie was trying to figure him out.

He’d been considering reading her to understand what was going on in her head, but of course, how could he explain touching her? He knew if he just walked over and touched her it would come across as creepy, and telling her why would be… just as bad, so he dealt with it.

Maybe she’d never met another person that could do more either? Or maybe she was just grateful he’d saved her, or felt more comfortable with someone with power like her, and not comfortable among the women that couldn’t relate to it. Maybe she just saw him as someone that would protect her and keep her safe? In this new world that was no longer the handsome guy with the thick wallet and sports car, it would be men like him with power. The same instincts that had caused women to avoid him, may actually draw them to him now because of his power. Or maybe it was a mixture of all of that, and probably something he hadn’t even considered?

He wasn’t sure, and came to the conclusion there was no point, and that him trying to figure out a woman’s mind was probably an exercise in futility. He’d never understood them before, why would he now?

He was outside, checking up on the field to see if anything had grown at all yet. He wasn’t a farmer, and worried his knowledge wasn’t enough, after all the zombies were just following his thoughts on how to do things.

“Excuse me?”

He turned, it was one of the women that had been with them since the beginning.
