“Dilly, where’s your brother?” Craig asked craning his neck to try to look out the door.

“He’s dead. One of the zombies chased him down through the back. The others went with him but when we heard the shots, we knew he was gone.” Dilly said with a genuinely forlorn thought until it crumbled under a fury I had never seen in a rational person. “But he will never tell me what I can and can’t do again.”

It seemed whatever was supposed to happen, wasn’t turning out the way he had wanted it to.

“Chandlers dead?” Craig breathed out.
