Summary
There are too many sounds in Stan’s ears. Everything feels like a movie, his own breath echoing in his ears, his vision tunneled down to a pinprick. There’s sirens wailing, and people screaming.
Stan is running down the street, stumbling and tripping in his haste. He has to get home, he has to get to his parents.
People are wailing in the street, cradling loved ones and clutching oozing wounds. It’s nearly too much, and Stan clutches his sword tighter.

Summary
Stan is breathing, he knows he is, but it doesn’t feel like there’s enough air in the universe to fill his lungs. His chest is heaving, and spots are popping up in his vision, threatening to send him back into unconsciousness.
His hands grip at his face, fingers hooking on his teeth the way they do when he’s nervous. He knows he’s not being very quiet, but he’s not anywhere near where people might hear him.
His face is wet, sticky tears clinging to his lashes and staining his cheeks and fingers. A sob breaks free from his throat. He sounds like a baby, gasping and sobbing like he’s dying. Maybe he is dying, he isn’t sure.

Summary
“There’s someone coming!” He says, slinging his rifle over his shoulder and aiming it. None of them have much experience beyond first person shooter games, besides Stan, so his hand is a little shaky. “Red coat, blue hat… kinda… it kinda looks like Cartman.” Stan wrinkles his nose. Cartman had been noticeably absent from the school, and many had wondered where he had gone off to.
“Cartman?” Stan shares a bewildered look with Clyde, who shrugs. “Is he turned?”
“Doesn’t look like it,” the boy replies from above, keeping his eyes and gun trained on his target, just like Stan had taught him. “He’s getting closer… I think he’s saying something.”

Summary
Kyle’s hands are cold. They shake where he has them clenched together on his lap.
All along the table, the various members of their council shout at one another, and Kyle is strikingly aware of the empty seat beside him. He has always been very inept at handling the arguing, struggling to reign in control of their bickering.
Without Stan to help steer the ship, Kyle has no hope of keeping it afloat.

Summary
“Kenny, can you do me a f-favor?” Stan asks, once they’re safely tucked away in his room. Kenny nods as he gets ready to help Stan out of the wheelchair. “Down in the basement, in one of the abandoned storage closets, tucked deep in the back behind some old science experiments, there’s these little bottles I brought back from the store.” He swallows when Kenny raises an eyebrow at him. “Can you bring me a few?”
“What are they?” Kenny asks, straightening and crossing his arms. Stan looks at him helplessly and softly whines in pain. The message gets across, and Kenny sighs. “Do you want me to get you down first, or go get the bottles?”

Summary
For a moment, Kyle can’t quite place them, as it’s been so long since he’s seen a familiar adult. But as they get closer, he is able to scrutinize their appearances. The woman has black hair, it’s tangled and messy, the man has a red beard and red hair, with gray speckled throughout.
They’re both covered in blood, scratches and scars cover their arms and faces where Kyle can see skin.
Then, he realizes why they look so familiar. They’re Wendy’s parents.

Summary
Stan wakes with a start. He doesn’t fall out of bed, or scream like he would have a year or two ago. His eyes simply fly open, and his breath momentarily catches in his throat.
He’s used to this dream by now. That Day. No sweat clings to his skin, no bile burns at the back of his throat.
A look out the window tells him it's still late in the night, or early in the morning, and Kyle snores softly beside him, a reminder of where he is, that he’s safe at home, not in the middle of the forest, miles from home, facing a monster.
