**********

The door was open, but it was getting late and Eric and Drew needed somewhere to rest their heads. The temperature was dropping and the humidity seemed to be dissipating, which was a huge relief. They both thought they may actually be able to get a good night’s sleep for once.

The house was in complete disarray. The trinkets that normally sat happily locked in a glass cabinet now lay smashed with sharp edges pointing up, waiting to impale the feet of an undead passer. The scent of death was vague, but lingered in the breeze of the broken windows. It seemed as if just recently the undead visited this house looking for dinner.

Walking to the back of the house, Eric cautiously stepped into the kitchen. The first cabinet he opened was full of canned goods; beef stew, canned peaches, pears, peanut butter, he was in heaven. It was like looking down on a table of a fresh thanksgiving meal.

Drew stayed close to him and Eric gave him one of the cans of beef stew. “We’re gonna eat good tonight.”

Eric was ready to dive into the cabinet and open a few cans for himself right then and there, but he knew they needed to secure the house first.

The main floor and upstairs was zombie free. There was one closed door upstairs, and Eric thought this could be a child’s room. He had already been through two rooms, one a master bedroom and the other one was obviously a spare due to the drab décor. Eric thought back on what he had witnessed at Kimberly’s house back in Georgia. A sweet middle aged woman tried to lure them in to feed her undead son. Every time he came to a closed door, the image of a dead, blond haired, blood caked, little boy seems to always be standing on the other side.

He stood now in front of a white door that had a splintering crack down the middle that resembled a lightning strike. Eric held his breath and moved his ear up to the door. The beating of his heart seemed to rise up against him and he thought it was pounding louder this night; more than normal at least. He exhaled slowly trying to maintain the volume of his breath flowing from his mouth. With his bat in hand he ran it down the door; just loud enough for something inside to hear.

After listening for a few seconds and Drew waiting patiently with signs of exhaustion showing on his face, he stepped back with his bat at the ready and opened the door. To his relief it was a child’s room minus any undead children. The room was destroyed. Scattered clothing littered the floor and ripped World of War Craft posters hung from the walls.

This caught Drew’s attention and he started to inch closer to get a better look. After Eric looked under the bed and insured that nothing was in the closet, Drew came in and started sorting through the scattered clothes.
