The colony had all three watchtowers manned, and they were concentrating on the wooded areas on all sides of the river. The newest tower was the tallest, and the man seated at the top had a view for miles to the south where he could see smaller hordes closing in behind a larger group that had already been formed by small groups catching up with the others. He thought it was absolutely great that they were all leaving the forests.

To his left he had a clear view downstream on the Cooper River. The only real reason to watch that area was to keep track of traffic. They needed to know if there were still many infected walking out of the woods and falling into the river. To his right he had an equally good view upriver. He tended to check that direction more often than downstream because anything that fell into the river could wash up onto the island. The bank of the island on that side had been fortified with sharpened stakes that were buried in the mud. If something washed up, it was likely to become impaled on the stakes, and they could dispose of it before it could reach solid ground.

There was a boom in the distance upriver, and the watch immediately focused his binoculars on the river to his right. The watch heard it in the second tower too, but he didn’t have the angle that would let him see the water too far upriver. They got the attention of the man in the third tower and all he could do was raise his hands and shrug his shoulders to let them know he had no idea what it was.

Anyone who lived in South Carolina before the infection when there were the occasional earthquakes knew that it was common to hear a booming sound rather than to feel the vibrations, and the watch pulled out a notebook and checked to see what time it was. He made a brief note about what he had heard, put the notebook back in his pocket, and put the binoculars back to his eyes.

When he saw that the water was cresting the banks of the river, he knew something was terribly wrong. They weren’t experiencing heavy rains, so there was only one reason the water level would be rising. He realized that the level wasn’t just rising, it was rising very fast. There was also a large number of bodies in the leading edge of a wave that was moving ahead of the rising water, and he felt the blood rush from his face when he saw that the wave was growing in height. Judging by the speed and size of it, the wave would reach them in five or ten minutes at the most.

Among their newly discovered caches of supplies they had found flare guns. For obvious reasons they couldn’t be used for many situations, so the watch captains had agreed on the meaning of different colored flares. If
