Dallas stood still, listening keenly for the telltale sounds of the living dead. The hordes had continued moving eastward, and the further west Dallas’s group had traveled, the fewer man eaters they’d encountered.

That was a good thing, right?

Dallas rubbed the back of her neck with her free hand. If someone would have told her a year ago that the zombies would be the least of their worries, she would have laughed in their faces.

But it was true.

As the hordes gathered steam and momentum, they moved like a magnet through metal slivers, each sliver clinging to the group as a whole, thereby clearing whole cities and towns of the monsters.

It was the strays which now lingered—those undead who were locked in a room or caught on a fence, or trapped in a car. They were the ones who could start the process all over again if they bit someone.

A snap of a twig made Dallas pull her machete out and wait.

There would be no moaning. They moaned when food was near and Dallas wasn’t that. She was too far outside the campgrounds for the lone man eater to know there was food nearby.

“Come on, mother fucker,” Dallas growled, waiting with both hands on the handle of her blade.

One zombie could start the apocalypse all over again. One bite could lead to five or ten, or fifteen more.

It could happen that quickly.

She wouldn’t let it.

Stepping out from the darkness of the shadows, she swung her machete like a bat, severing the head from the body, which crumpled to the ground, black goo gurgling from the open neck.

“Not tonight,” Dallas whispered, wiping off her blade but keeping the machete out.

“Nice kill.” Dallas turned to find Roper hanging back in the shadows. “That looked personal.”

Dallas shrugged. “Aren’t they all?”

Roper threaded her arms around Dallas’s waist and pulled her closer. “What’s going on in that head of yours? You’ve been so edgy lately.”

Dallas closed her eyes to enjoy the nanosecond of peace that rarely stayed. “You all question my motives for keeping those two. You took off to rescue people we don’t know and don’t care about. I seem to be losing my leadership grip. I don’t know. Maybe I ought to step down or something.”

Roper let the rhetorical statement float in the air a moment. “There’s no stepping down, lover. You are our leader plain and simple. But lately…” Roper shook her head. “I don’t know. It’s like you’ve changed your mind. Like you’ve shifted gears.”

“Maybe I have. Maybe, when I look at Luke and wonder if he is dead or alive, or when I look at Egypt’s chubby little face, all I want is for our people to find some place to live out the rest of our lives. Maybe, in the end, it’s not really our job to save this fucked up country.”

“So you want to give up.”

“No. Not give up. Change directions. Stop caring about saving the masses. I just want us to worry about the family we have here. Is that so wrong?”

Roper kissed her softly.
