Chapter 14 – Ryan

We moved carefully across the once well-tended lawn. Gregg moved alongside me, each step placed carefully to put it between the bones before sweeping out to the side to brush a path through them.

Behind us, Reece helped push his friend in her chair, their few belongings in the large duffel on her lap. They at least managed to keep their flow of constant muttering to an acceptable level. The canine kept pace with me and ignored the two former students as much as I tried to.

Gregg grimaced as he kicked aside a small skull and there was something behind his eyes when he looked at me, something I hadn’t seen in him before. Even at his lowest, he’d still held out hope that things would get better, but somehow, that field of bones was leeching that away from him.

I glanced back to the two youths and saw something similar reflected in their expressions. Distaste, despair and perhaps a little fear. It was interesting and something I’d need to discuss with Lily when I got back. If she’s still alive, a dark little part of my mind said.

“Did you bring your drone?” I asked and smiled a little at the way they all jumped at the sudden noise.

“I’ve got it dude,” Charlie said. “Not much use until I can recharge it though. Used most of its battery helping you two.”

“Shame, it would have been useful,” I said and turned back to watching where I was going, as well as the hospital.

The stench that seemed to follow and hover around the undead was something you never really got used to. There were times though when it faded into the background as just a part of the new world we lived in. It was there, noxious and ever present, noticed only when it was absent.

As we approached the hospital and the edge of the landing field, the stench began to grow to the point where we couldn’t ignore it. I glanced to Gregg and saw understanding on his face. For it to be that bad, it would have to be a hell of a lot of the undead.

I waved the others to stop and took a good look at where we were going. Behind us were the few houses and the road beyond while to the west were a few scattered administration buildings for the hospital and behind them the road that we were originally travelling along. It was likely that that road was packed with the undead but the buildings prevented them seeing us.

Straight ahead of us was the end of the hospital. The tarmac path that led from the landing pad with its helicopter carcass went all the way to building with a several metre long concrete bridge when the raised area of land we were on ended.

According to the signs, that bridge led to the A&E department and from what Charlie had said, the road beneath the bridge was used by the ambulances to reach the same place which put that one department on two levels.
