Chapter 6

They got back in the car and drove down Main Street. They’d need to find another car soon. Theirs was about to sputter out of gas. They wouldn’t make it out of this town. Mark knew that much for sure.

They passed other buildings like the ones they’d seen before, but the town seemed to be deserted. He wondered if everyone had died or if it had simply been empty before the infection came. He swerved to miss a wandering Z. There were a couple of them in the streets now. He blamed Alice, but he shouldn’t.

That little stunt with the rock had scared him more than it should have. He tried to keep it together, but Kyle and Alice didn’t realize just how damn hard Mark was trying. He shivered as he eyed the buildings around them, trying not to shake the feeling of dread that washed over him.

This town could be their heaven or their hell, and Mark didn’t know which.

They approached a large building just as the engine finally stopped. He coasted into one of the parking spots and set the emergency break.

“So this is it for us, huh,” Alice said.

“End of the line,” Kyle added.

“We could always take another car. Keep going.” Mark stated the obvious, afraid his friends hadn’t thought of that.

“I’m tired,” Alice said. “I don’t want to keep wandering around.”

Kyle nodded, but didn’t say anything. He didn’t have to. Mark agreed with both of them. This town was as good as any. There weren’t too many Infected wandering around, at least not yet. They could find a place, set up shop, and secure it. They could get a car or two and have stuff ready to go in case they needed to flee, but they didn’t want their life not to consist of running.

They all deserved better than that.

They all needed more than that.

He stood, looking around. The sun was beginning to set. They’d wasted a lot of time today, but at least they were away from it all. At least they were away from Holbrook, away from the house they’d hidden in, away from the madness.

Out here, maybe they’d have a chance at survival. Mark didn’t know if they should expect to meet other survivors or if they should plan to be lone wolves in the apocalypse. He wasn’t sure whether the zombies would return home once they realized they were animated. He had no idea if civilization would be gone forever or if it would slowly return.

He simply didn’t know.

What he did know was that they needed to find a place to stay, and quickly. They didn’t want to be outside after dark. Even if the Infected didn’t creep up on them, the monsters would be hard to see.

“There are houses over there,” Kyle said, pointing down a side road. It was shrouded with trees, but Mark saw that there were, in fact, rows of houses down that road. There were also a number of Infected wandering on that street. A couple of them had noticed their little group and were slowly heading toward them.
