Samuel continued to mumble to himself like a madman with a dry throat, which spouted a hoarse, horror-filled voice.
He was able to "see" all fifty-three people of his group in front of him; however, they.... He couldn't feel any of their presences.
They felt.... dead.
As soon as his thoughts affirmed what he was seeing, all fifty-three of them began to tremble violently. As their faces twisted in pain, unable to stare at their expressions, Samuel lowered his head in guilt and dread at what he would have to hear.
Due to his lowered gaze, he noticed that the people in front didn't have feet as they just floated above ground as they gradually began to dematerialize. Shuddering violently at the mere imagination of losing them "again," Samuel rushed towards them stumblingly, yet he continued to move as he pushed himself off of the ground desperately.
