iii:The Other Dead

Harriet had gotten separated from her friends at the concert. She didn’t know what all the commotion was about, just that everybody was fleeing for the exits, and she was being swept along with the crowd. She tripped over something, either a shoelace or someone’s foot, a dropped bag or maybe even her own two feet. Whatever it was, she went down, and the flood of people around her never noticed. Feet stomped all around her, on her. Someone else tripped over her and fell down as well. Harriet did what she could to protect her head, crying and calling out, praying someone would notice her and help her. In the end, none of it did anything. A heavy boot to the side of her head sent her into a blackness she never came out of.

Connor saw what was happening on the TV. He followed the news with a near unhealthy obsession. He guessed what they were, what was going on. He couldn’t handle it; it was too much. He took one of his guns and sat down on his bed, looking out the window. He wrote a letter to his family should they come by, then put the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger. Maybe if he had found someone like his sister had, he would have been able to handle the pressure.

Anita Reynolds lay in her hospital bed, her deathbed. She had been sick for a very long time, but had recently taken a turn for the worse. Months ago, she had signed a ‘do not resuscitate’ order. She was ready for the end. Her room was on the first floor and had a lovely view of the grounds. All her grown children had gathered around along with some of the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Breathing was getting harder. She knew it would happen soon. Something must have happened as Anita began to slip away because everyone in the room suddenly got up and crowded over to the windows. There were gasps of shock in reaction to whatever was going on. Only Anita’s youngest descendent, a small boy of three, was actually watching over her when she passed.

Charlie was shaking all over as she walked down the street. She had seen so many bad things. She was scared and had no idea what was going on. Her best friend had attacked her own mother. She didn’t feel safe at home, but she didn’t know where to go. She wandered the streets, somehow avoiding attackers. Charlie completely forgot about road safety and didn’t think about looking both ways before dashing across the street. The driver of the bus that hit her didn’t slow down, even when she went under the tires.

Nicolas Faraday was doing a good job of surviving, all things considered. He had been kicked off the subway long before his stop when the transit went down. He managed to escape attack several times, sometimes by very narrow misses. He was nearing his girlfriend’s house where he planned to take refuge for a while.
