“You miss him?” asked Heather.

“What?” I answered, my mind a million miles away as I remembered the premonition and Bryce’s soft lips on mine. It had felt so real. The entire dream was real.

“Bryce, you miss him,” she placed a hand on mine, resting in my lap.

I nodded. “Yeah, he’s a friend, a good friend, and now I can’t even contact him. No cell phones, radios, nothing,” I answered, my eyes focused on a circular indent in the wooden floor.

“I think you both like each other as more than friends.”

How perceptive! Was it that obvious? “I guess,” I answered, pushing myself off the floor. I didn’t feel like talking.

“My phone is officially dead,” said Sarah with a sigh.

I chuckled. “When we get to the boat you can charge it, but remember to turn off the GPS,” I warned in a voice mocking my father.

My mother narrowed her eyes at me then rolled them as she chose not to scold me.

“Right,” Sarah answered, resting her head on my shoulder as we sat together on my mat. Cat walked between us, purring like a motor boat, sticking his butt in the air as we pet him. He walked back and forth, rolling his head on our hands.

The rumble of the van told me Dad returned. I stood and marched to the back window, hoping, wishing that Bryce would be with him, but he walked out of the shed alone.

I opened the door for him. “Is the carrier gone?”

“Yeah,” he nodded, agreeing with his word. “Are you packed?”

“Yup.” I pointed to our cart. Between nine people we’d pretty much wiped out the supplies from Spain and what was in the cabin.

Within the hour we’d loaded the van in preparation to leave, walking carefully around the zombie body part trail. The skin and muscles started falling away from their bones. My eyes went directly to the grotesque sight. I’d never seen anything like it. Taking a small branch, I jabbed it into the female’s chest which split and fell to the sides around the puncture. The man’s body was mushier when I pressed the end of the branch into it.

The lion hadn’t returned since the day he scared me and Bryce. I hadn’t seen any animals; like they were hiding. The zombies gone, I expected them to return but they hadn’t. Was it the smell? Were their rotten bodies somehow affecting the environment? My thoughts brought me full circle to the few animal sightings we’d had and the idea that they were trying to warn or protect us.

I took one last look at my home for the past several days, when a vehicle crunching the dirt road made my heart stop cold in my chest, my breath caught in my throat and I stumbled backwards.

My dad’s voice interrupted my thoughts, “Hurry, Maddie!”

I blinked, then rushed toward him, taking one last glance around, I realized I’d zoned out. The house was empty and my dad held the lid of the bench up, everybody was already downstairs in the basement.
