Chapter 54: Blovid's Help Part 1

At first, you don't realize what you're looking at.

I remember now.

You think it's just another tree, the same as the hundreds you've passed... but then they start moving. The body parts. The vacant eyes staring ahead, intently and at nothing. The fingers, wiggling erratically, then hushing to a still, only to spasm again.

"What the..." one of the Rogues mutters as a scream breaks out. I think it's Pratt. Vix catches her before she hits the floor and turns to Sampson.

"Sympse?" Vix whispers softly, glancing around the lot.

"They're people," Able exclaims. "On the trees - they're people!"

Curses break out, each grasping what's suddenly at stake. Pratt cups her hand over her mouth, running to vomit outside the lot. I keep her in view - the last thing we need is for someone to go missing out here. Griffin follows in Pratt's response, falling to his knees and regurgitating near the same patch of skinned floor.
