Dina had left, and now I was alone. My room was dark, the only light coming from
the street lamps outside.
As tired as I was, I couldn’t get to sleep. My brain was
rushing a mile a minute, and I was still processing everything I had learned
that day. I couldn’t get the image of
that block, those empty houses, out of my mind.
Except the houses weren’t empty. Not all of them. No, the
residents were still there, rotting away, and somehow no one noticed. That was what bothered me even more. How had no one managed to find an entire city
block filled with rotting corpses?
I sighed, rolling onto my side.
I heard the door to my hospital room slowly creak open. I rolled over, expecting to see one of the
nurses standing there, ready to take my vitals for the hundredth time that
day.
Albert May stood over my bed, eyes wide and crazy. He was looking at me, his withered lips
pulled back in grimace.
“I need to get back to the Void!” He howled.
Then he lunged at the bed.
