Blue Plague: The Great Silence

“Well, then there now,” I said as Burk pulled away and wiped his eyes. “Do you think it’s too soon to start raiding the neighbors? Or too late to haul more supplies in from the stores?”


Burk fell onto the couch. Two cats climbed on his lap. The third one just lay where he was on the floor. He looked dead. “Do you have a gun?” Burk asked. “I do. I have a small handgun in my duffel bag. It’s mostly for show, but I can use it if necessary.”


“No, I don’t, but the guy next door does, and dead or alive, we can use it. If he’s dead, we’ll get it, and if he’s alive, well…” I tilted my head. How much did I know about the guy next door? He, too, had inherited his house from his parents. He was straight, I think. Well, I shouldn’t hold that against him. What I was trying to determine was whether if he lived, he’d be an asset to our survival, or a drag on our resources, or, worse. “You know what, if the phones work, I’ll call him. If there’s no answer, that’s somewhat of an answer in itself.”
