and they should become incapacitated.
However, since their hearts were not beating, the cells of their body had already been depleted of oxygen for an extended period of time. All of their cells should already be dead. I remembered the comment that Mr. Allen made about the “light show” th at had taken place. If the meteors had carried this infection, the viruses, bacteria, or parasites infecting the freaks could be providing some sort of alternative energy source for their cells. Perhaps this alternative energy source was why the freaks were walking around in the first place.
I thought to myself if extraterrestrials have brought this plague upon us, they need to come down and fix the situation!
I took another sip of the root beer in my hand when I suddenly felt something on my shoulder. It made me want to jump, but I didn’t want to do anything the freaks could notice. I looked around, and Jennifer was standing behind me.
“Don’t scare me like that,” I said quietly. “Let me move this chair back.”
I carried the chair back towards our outpost on the middle of the roof. A breeze started to blow as I sat back down, and I noticed it was getting colder. Jennifer rolled another chair close to me and we began to talk.
“If you decide to go after your mother I’ll back up your decision,” she said. “I migh t even be able to convince Suzy to come with us.”
“I want to go to the library and see if my mother is there. However, I wouldn’t only be risking my life, but all of yours as well. I don’t think I’m willing to take that risk, yet.” I told her.
For the nex t hour we discussed many topics; it including talk about how we could safely get to one of the vehicles in the parking lot. To get to a vehicle safely, the first task would be clearing the parking lot of any and all freaks. We came up with a few ideas of how we might do that.
As dawn neared my eyes began to grow tired. My sentences started to become less and less coherent.
“It’s time for you to go to sleep,” said Jennifer who stood up and took me by the arm, and led me to one of the tents that had been set up. I tried to argue with her, but she wouldn’t let me. She then ordered me to swallow a single, small sleeping pill.
“Do you trust me?” she asked.
“Yes,” I said.
“Then why won’t you take this pill and get some sleep?” she asked.
I gave up and swallowed the pill, washing it down with the last of my root beer. On the floor of the tent were a number of blankets and cushions. I laid my body on the makeshift bed and I felt my mind drift away as everything went dark.

“It ’s time to get up,” I heard a voice say from above me.
I opened my eyes slowly, and rubbed them to try and get my vision to focus. I looked up, and Jennifer was standing there, hunched over in my tent.
It took a moment for me remember why I was in a tent and why she was there. Then the memories of the past couple days hit me. I sighed as I realized I was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
I started to stand up and exit the tent when I realized it was almost dark outside.
“How long did I sleep?” I asked Jennifer.
“You slept all day. We didn’t want to wake you.” she said.
“Is everything alright?”
“Yes, everything is about the same as when you went to sleep. Oh, we did kill about thirty freaks today.”
“What? Thirty? Did they get in . . .” I was in shock, and almost shouting.
“Relax,” she said, putting her hand on my shoulder. “Not a single freak is inside of the building, or in the parking lot. Follow me,” she said.
We walked to the edge of the roof and I looked down. They had been able to use the ladder to get down to the ledge below. It gave them a way to stand over the front entrance of the store. From that small platform, sticking out only a few feet from the side of the store, they had been able kill the thirty freaks.
Their bodies were lying on the pavement below motionless. Looking
