Revealed: Parables From the Apocalypse - Dystopian Fiction
“"You're right, there is something moving, but it's hard to tell if it's friendly or freaky. Based on their movements, I'm thinking zombies. But with what we've seen lately, that's just a guess. Those guys we saw at the tank and the airport didn't move like zombies, so it could be someone like them. We're going to have to go in. Our chances of finding Chaz will be much better inside those woods than out here." "Are you sure? You really want to go in the woods in the dark?" "I didn't say I w...anted to, I said it was our best chance." They moved towards the trees, crouching behind larger headstones along the way. The closer they got, the more figures they saw moving through the woods. At the woods’ edge, Alex raised his binoculars for another look.
"What can you see?" "These are useless in the woods. We've just got to get in there unnoticed." "Uh huh. And how exactly do you plan on doing that? If we're quiet, Chaz will never hear us, but if we call out, every beastie will be after us. They can probably smell us from here." "I know. I'm thinking maybe we need a diversion." "If that means we're splitting up somehow, just forget it. No way you're leaving me alone. I don't care whether these things love me or fear me. I'm not that brave." "Hmm." Alex pursed his lips and looked into the woods. He saw movement in their direction. "We need to move. That way." He motioned into the wooded area, but away from the advancing figures. "We're going to move slowly. Stay right behind me, and keep your eyes open. I'll do the same." "That's your plan? Just march off blind into the woods?" Motioning to the advancing figures, Alex suggested, "If we don't get moving now, it won't matter what plan I come up with. Follow me!" Alex led the way past smaller trees, till they came to a big bush to use as cover. They could see some zombies that moved through the woods, looking not the least bit human. Being this close, it wouldn't take the freaks long to pick up their scent. Alex whispered, "I have an idea. It should help us find Chaz, and throw those zombies off our scent. These woods are pretty damp, but there should be enough leaves lying around to get a small fire going. Grab all the leaves and scrub you can find, and push it under this bush. If we can get the bush smoldering, the smoke should cover our scent, and maybe get Chaz's attention." "Great idea. Let's burn the whole place. If we don't kill Chaz we should get a few freaks." "Maybe more positive.MoreLess
