Delilah brings David a bowl of food and she places it down next to him; he’s on a hill resting against thin shrubs looking through his binoculars. “You didn’t have to do that.”

Delilah says. “They’re coming back.”

David glimpses up at her as she stares over the landscape. He notices her expression changing. “What is it?” Then he ganders in the direction of her eyes with the binoculars, to behold a fleeing truck swerving and hopping its way to the nearby city. Not Crater City, this one is westbound. David stands up and views the path behind the truck then hands Delilah the binoculars, then darts down the hill with Delilah chasing after him.

David unfastens the horses; he calls out to the Indians. “We have to go, a few hundred of those things are heading this way.”

Cooper hurls his things into a bag then runs to his horse; David’s packing up his dented stove and weapons.

Delilah and Youngblood gather their friend’s belongings and throw the backpacks and cracking leather bags over the horses’ saddles, then each of them jump up to the remaining horses and hold-up for David. Lou took David’s motorcycle, so David rides his horse, forcing Delilah to give another horse one more go around after one left her for dead in the blistering rain.

David tells the group. “I’m going to head for the city that truck was driving towards. They might look kindly on me warning them.”

Youngblood says. “Or they’ll shoot you in the back.”

David pulls on his reins and adjusts the horse’s direction. “Fine, do what you like, but we can’t leave this general area until our friends come back, and that city offers plenty of protection.” David observes Cooper. “Hopefully the dead just pass through this campsite and don’t look back. Are you coming with me?”

Cooper says. “Me and Youngblood will journey around the city and locate an alternative area to wait in.”

David says. “Let’s meet back here tomorrow. If the dead has cleared out.”

Delilah says to the Indians. “Good luck you guys.”

Ahead of the human couple and the dead mob, the truck is a speck of dust in the distance, a prized jewel shining.

A new wonder to write about. An breathtaking event ready to absorb David.

Avoiding the largest herd he has ever seen in an open area. David and Delilah ride side-by-side for twenty-two minutes in a straight path angling away from the Judas steer/zombie at the head. Zombie heads are malformed into a turban shape, all move as one, guzzling the tumors from the backs of the weaklings. Culmination of bodies is a cold cloud grinding up the soil, sucking the life from the air.

In his rearview mirror, blurry cone heads are gliding towards the city. At their current pace, the dead will arrive in an hour, but if they start running, ten minutes or less. David slows down before endeavoring into the city. It’s been years since he set foot in a city, too many bad memories and even worst people.

He gazes over to her.
