Edward had enjoyed a good day. Although he had narrowly missed a deer, he had managed to bag himself a couple of rabbits, which he had tied at the feet and was carrying over his shoulder. It was good to get outside, away from the house, to get some fresh air. He was hoping Joan might make a pie or a stew with his catch. He could see the house through the gaps in the skeletal trees. He crunched through the carpet of golden leaves towards it. He was looking forward to getting home, maybe putting his feet up in front of the fire. Joan had said she was making bread, and he was looking forward to that smell greeting him as he went into the house.

He crossed the bridge, across the gurgling dark waters of the river, and strode up the hill towards his home. He opened the door, and for a moment, was unsure what he was looking at. His brain simply wouldn’t compute what he was seeing.

It was everywhere. Blood. Lumps of things that might have been a person. He blinked, and realised he was holding his breath. He exhaled, his brain finally acknowledging what he was seeing. It was Joan, or what was left of her. She was face down by the table, the chairs overturned. Blood was splashed across the wall. He knew she was dead, her open eyes stared through him. He dropped the rabbits and the gun.

Anthony stepped out from behind the door. He was covered in blood, his eyes wild and devoid of humanity. The voices in his head whispered to him and told him what to do. Edward never even saw it coming.
