controls the housing units, the back gate, and the main gate.”
“That’s an important generator not to work. Maybe it was taken out by the blast.”
“Well you better hope not if you plan on getting those numbers, or getting in for that matter.”
Gus pointed to a wooden box on the desk that was about the size of a large shoebox that had five buttons. Gus pressed one of the buttons towards the top.
“Nothing happened at all! That was the outside gate. Normally it would open, but it doesn’t move which means the power is out.”
“So what you’re saying is that I need to turn on the power, come back here, have you let me into the back gate and find the list to get the numbers?”
“Unless you can climb that razor wire?”
“I wish there was another way.” I pulled my radio off and pressed the call button.
I pulled out my phone and called my partner, unit five , Officer Pete Ryan. It rang three times then he picked up.
“Where are you Ted?”
“I’m at the back tower. Where are you?”
“Well I’m at the staging point. A woman came running to us. She didn’t look right at all. Bryan Smith tried to handcuff her but she bit him. Next thing you know Bryan fell over dead. She’s in the back of my cruiser right now, screaming and banging her head against the window. Couldn’t explain what’s wrong with her if I tried.”
“The people coming from here have some sort of disease. Don’t let them touch you. They aren’t human anymore. I shot one in the heart and neck and it got back up!”
“Ted what is wrong with you?”
“I’m telling you these things are dangerous. You have to shoot them in the head.”
“Ted you need to pull yourself together.” There was the sound of screaming in the background followed by gunfire. Then the phone disconnected.
“The things are now on Highway 27 .” Gus looked at me in disbelief.

I went to Jacobs, after I regained my composure. How would I explain what had just happened ? When I got to him, I didn’t have to explain. There were mobs of those things roaming around, attacking people. Just a hundred yards away, three of them were tearing, biting, and eating someone who was screaming for help.
“Roberts is dead.” I said, the words barely leaving me. Jacobs turned towards me and his mouth dropped open.
“How, I thought you were going to be the one to go on the wing!” Jacobs looked like he was going to punch me.
“I did, I locked all the doors. There were three bodies on the wing and I called him to help me with them. They didn’t have a pulse, and then one grabbed him. The other two got up and they started biting him. I barely got off the wing. Next thing I know he’s one of them!”
“What do you mean he’s one of them?”
“Come look.”
Roberts was still standing at the door where I left him. However, the other two must have been roaming around the wing. I could hear the sound of inmates yelling again. It was dark and I wondered if the inmates even knew the full extent of what was happening. They wouldn’t be able to see much, the windows were covered with a metal mesh plate bolted to the outside. This was there so that the inmates in The Box couldn’t communicate with inmates on the recreation yard, for whatever reason. One side effect of the metal mesh that the architect didn’t consider while designing the dorm was that the light would be blocked form the windows so during a power failure you wouldn’t be able to see on the wing.
“This can’t be happening. It’s like one of those horror movies. “
“We need to do something. We need to kill it.”
“So how do you plan on doing that?” I looked around and saw the broom used to prop the door open, it was now broken in two pieces. I picked up one of the ends and touched it to my palm. It wasn’t as sharp as I would have liked it to be, but it was sharp enough to penetrate through an eye or mouth.
