"She walks past the corpse of what once was her husband" #zombies


Jaimie kisses her girls, Jeff tells Alicia goodbye, Greg tells Lana goodbye and Dave rolls over to Deacon.  By this time Greg is standing next to him.  Dave extends his hand to shake Deacon and Greg’s hands, telling them to take care.  Both Greg and Deacon nod, and tell Dave that they will try.  Dave can see that they are trying to stay strong, hiding their fear.  Deacon picks up the duffle bag full of ammunition on his way out of the door, along with his rifle.

            They walk out to the truck, get in and start driving back to the city.  There is no movement on the outskirts of the city.  The closer to the city they get the more zombies they begin to see.  It is a quite ride in, each of them are lost in their own thoughts.  They pull into Jaimie’s neighborhood, Greg begins summarizing the plan that they had gone over with Dave the night before.  Pulling up to Jaimie’s house, they sit nervously in the truck looking around.  There is not any movement that they can see.  The once child invested neighborhood now sits barren of all play and laughter of children. 

            Sticking to the plan, Deacon and Jeff creep to opposite corners in front of the house.  Deacon watches Jaimie as she walks past the corpse of what once was her husband.  She turns her head as not to see the gruesomeness.  Greg and Jaimie go inside.  A couple of minutes later Greg comes out, sending Jeff back in.  Deacon and Greg, scan the neighborhood through their rifle scopes, looking up to scan with just the naked eye intermittently.  Deacon listens for any noise, he can only hear the sound of birds.  The silence raises the hair on the back of their necks.  Jeff hauls out load after load, into the trailer.
