Summary
Dean Winchester always swore that the only way he’d willingly go for a run was if zombies were chasing him. Now, over a year after the dead stopped staying dead and started chowing down on the living, those words are biting him in the ass. Well, better his words do it than an actual zombie, he figures.
It’s no life of leisure, but it’s certainly better than it could be. New Lebanon has decent zombie-proof security, military protection, and plenty of food and other necessities, along with even a few luxuries. The settlement’s Runners, of which group Dean and his brother Sam are reliable members, are to thank for that: heading out every day into the undead-infested countryside and abandoned towns in search of whatever the town needs. Sprinting from death on a regular basis might not fit the definition of “boring,” but Dean’s adjusted enough to appreciate the smaller sense of routine and predictability. That is, until one day when his radio headset, rather than picking up the voice of his handler, suddenly starts receiving an aberrant transmission from a mysterious, gravel-voiced stranger. Dean can’t resist his growing fixation on the unknown man, and he’s determined to track him down and rescue him, no matter what.
