CHAPTER FIVE

It had been a few hours since the incident with Becca. Not only were emotions spent, everyone was physically exhausted from the day. What had happened to her could happen to any of them. All it would take was something as simple as a single touch to sentence someone to death. A touch that would bring painfully horrendous mutations, changing the unfortunate victim into one of them. Becca’s death had jarred everyone.

Kyle blamed himself. What else was he could he have done? There had been no other choice. Even with Ben and Sarah there to reassure him of that, he couldn’t let it go. How could he? He had never killed another man in his life. Sure, he had defended himself at the Deli in the store, but that was different.

After heading upstairs to his apartment, Kyle sat in his Lazy Boy, brooding over Z’s death. All of the lights were off and the blue numbers on a digital clock holding his blank stare. By his side, Sarah slept on the floor. Ben sat with his back against the wall near the front door. The laptop perched on his knees illuminated his face with an eerie glow.

The stench downstairs in Ben’s place had been too much to handle. Kyle’s living room definitely had an odor to it as well, but it wasn’t nearly as bad.

Becca had awoken in crazed rage. Had it been the pain or something in the fever that drew her to insanity? There was no real way to tell. One thing was sure, there was no way she could have still been alive. She thrashed and kicked on the couch trying to get at Z and the others. She snarled in frustration, unable to reach them, being glued to the couch by liquefied tissue.

After a minute of watching her flailing, Z went ballistic. Everyone watched as the skin on her face began to peel back like dissolved putty. The stink of burnt flesh and singed hair filled the air. Bone started to show through on her arms and legs. Her lips blistered and her eyes sank back into her skull, as her body became one with the couch. In moments, she was nothing more than a pile of meat and jagged limbs.

Above the thrashing and moans, Z cried out her name.

It was horrible, but the worst had yet to come.

Her eyes exploded from their sockets. Bloody mucus and retinal sludge splashed across the carpet.

Ben put every ounce of his strength into restraining Z against the wall. Sarah on the other hand, froze, standing in the entryway to the kitchen. Her jaw had dropped to her chest and her eyes were wide. Pushing his way past Sarah, Kyle darted in from the kitchen. Reaching for his crowbar that was sitting on the carpet next to the makeshift ashtray, he did what had to be done.

He only saw a monster when he looked down on Becca's grotesquely mutilated remains. He looked her in the eyes, but no one looked back.
