Chapter 7

Mrs. Kim

Amelia was startled awake by the sound of dull banging; eyes wide, her first peaceful night of sleep was interrupted by a racket outside her window. She assumed she knew what it was, but she couldn’t find the motivation to jump out of bed.

She rolled out of bed, putting her bare feet on the cold floor. She hated feeling the cold linoleum first thing in the morning and had told Keith countless times how much better the room would feel if they had installed carpet. The abnormality of this morning was far from normal and weighed on her. The chill on her feet was a slight relief to the muggy air draped over her as the hot morning sun heated her home like an oven.

She got up and looked out the window, absorbing some of the morning rays, wishing for a breeze to wick some of the moisture from her body. She had no idea what time it was, but the sun wasn’t very high, so she guessed it was close to eight.

Amelia’s assumption was correct; the mysterious woman was trying to get into the next house in line. Her backpack was loaded with items she had already looted from other houses.

After a few hits with her shoulder the door opened and then closed. Once again it appeared as if something was behind it. She pushed against it and this time the door flung open and a large figure fell out the door. The mystery woman stepped quickly to the side and began to run away, banging on car hoods the entire time.

“What a strange woman,” she said out loud.

“We need her,” Jimmy responded, sitting on the corner of the bed with his hands folded in his lap. “I’m going to need her.”

Shaking her head, she asked “How am I going to get her for you?”

“I don’t know, Mom. Maybe invite her in.” He shrugged, “That would be the polite thing to do.” He laughed a little.

“She’s long gone now.”

“I bet she’ll come back later today. She just lured those people from their home, so she can get in later with no risk.”

“That’s not a bad idea.” They must have been talking louder than she realized because three sickly individuals crossed the street toward her house, growling. They slowly lumbered toward her voice without looking up.

“We should really keep it down. We don’t want them getting in. I’m not like them remember. They’ll try to hurt me too.” The expression on Jimmy’s face was one of fear. Amelia knew her son was different and as long as she continued to feed him, her son would never be like one of them…out there.

She watched the three ghouls as they moved closer to her porch. All three were haggard, with dirty clothing and unkempt hair. These ones and the others outside were not like her son. These ones needed someone to look after them, but Amelia knew it was too late for them. She had to continue to care for her son or he too would become like one of these three.
