Chapter 20

Virginia was amazed at just how prophetic Charlie had been earlier. The one they called Doc had insisted on having a meeting with everyone, except the people that Boo had put on guard duty around the school and bridges, attending. They were packed into the gymnasium like sardines, with more people sitting on the stairway leading down to the area. Doc had given a long speech about how they had all but beat the odds so far to make it there, and how they could hold out for as long as they needed. All they had to do was stick together like they had been doing all along. Virginia didn’t think he was winning anyone over that had already decided to take flight and look for a better place to go. He may have even tipped the scales to the leaving side for those who weren’t sure if they wanted to stick it out or not. Virginia wasn’t all that sure it was a good idea to stay now either. Then Doc opened it up to questions from the crowd, which, again, Virginia thought he had made another big mistake and rolled her eyes.

At first they were all yelling questions at once. Some were just yelling out profanities and pointing fingers at who they thought caused it. Then Charlie rose up and motioned everyone to be silent. They all grew quiet in anticipation of his words.

“Many of you here know me. You have known me for my entire life, knew my parents, and later you knew my sweet Annie. I am not going to stand up here and tell you that everything is going to be all right. I don’t know if any of us will live through this or not. I know that there are more creatures out there than I can count. In some places, there are so many of them that you can hardly make out the landscape or any landmarks.” Charlie took a deep breath then continued, “I spent my whole life trying to get away from this town. I wanted out of here so bad, there were times that I felt like I was going to burst if didn’t leave. My Annie made me see just how special it was living here without all of the hustle and bustle of the big city. Looking back now, I think we survived because we were here—and not there.”

Charlie looked around the room to make sure all eyes were on him now. The people on the stairway had even moved to the bottom, trying to hear him better. “All I am saying is this: if you want to leave, where will you go? Here, we have the school with heat and a water supply. Out there you have you, and your vehicle, and the creatures. Everywhere you stop you will have to look for them and deal with them or move on quickly. Is that what we survived for? Did we survive just so we could run
