Summary
The interviews are over, the caskets of two close friends have been lowered, and the physical scars are healing. But the emotional ones are carved deep into the mind of the six survivors; canyons of decay and betrayal that may never close.
Chris, tormented by the memories of what Josh had done to them, of the sight of that old man’s head being sliced off, no longer sleeps. Nights are riddled with terrors of Josh dying, or of him coming back to life and finishing them all off. Days bring fear and anxiety, images of those monsters clouding his vision.
It all becomes too much and one night he’s in the bathroom, holding his parent’s gun, when Mike calls. The other survivor, who had lost just as much as he, asks to take Chris out for breakfast.
Suicide will just have to be put off for later.
