The sun stretched its way across the sky and settled well into the evening. They still had more than a few hours until sunset, and they were making great time. David slept while she drove, and they encountered some small pockets of zombies on the way, but they never proved to be a problem. Once in a while, she would have to slow down and weave her way through some abandoned cars on the road, but nothing was ever jammed completely; she made sure to follow a route on the map that wouldn't have them going through any cities. She spotted a small group of human survivors along the way, who stopped what they were doing and stood dumbfounded at the sight of a moving car. If they had lifted their jaws off the ground and processed their thoughts in time, Sarah was sure they would have started running after her, pleading for a ride. She was just as glad that they didn't so she didn't have to worry about it, so she could get her son safely to Noah's Ark before anything else happened to them.

She stretched an arm out and held it on the wheel while she leaned her head back and kept a steady foot on the gas. Her leg was still sore, and it didn't do her much good to be stuck in a car for a couple hours, but she was doing okay and the car still ran smoothly.

She looked over at David and watched him when she was on a long straight away and saw how peacefully he slept. His short brown hair rested against his head as he leaned it to the side against the door. His dirty clothes clung to him, and Sarah thought about how happy she would be to see her son in a better place. He looked so happy as he slept, like he didn't have a care in the world.

He began to fidget in his seat. She watched him, thinking he was just restless, but then he started to twitch, his eyes and mouth making quick, jerky movements. She became concerned as he started to shake. She knew he must have been having a nightmare, but this one looked bad. A look of pain spread across his face, replaced by fear.

"David?" she said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

He shrugged it off in his sleep and muttered a plea of mercy under his breath.

She was about to stop the car and check on him when he suddenly started screaming. His eyes shot open and he sat upright in his seat, howling. She hit the brakes and came to a rough stop. He finally stopped and his eyes drooped and closed again. His body settled and he became calm.

She leaned over and shook him. "David! David!"

He slowly opened his eyes again and roused from his troubled sleep. They adjusted to the car around him and he turned his head and looked at her.

"What's the matter?" she said shrilly.

He was confused.
