the driver’s seat. She managed to drive to the meet up place before going into shock. She recovered her faculties but remained numb to any feelings.
    Sue Ann looked out across the farm land and wondered what would happen to her once they killed the last Zombie. Would she feel again or would she be like this forever? The sunset and Bobby grilled up some deer meat from his last hunting excursion. One thing he appreciated about the zombie epidemic was that hunting laws were null and void. That night, each of the five friends laid awake wondering what this hunt would mean and what they would do when this was over. It was the first time since the beginning of the epidemic that they had even considered life after this.
    The next morning, they loaded up the Ford truck with supplies and headed out. Joe drove and the girls sat in the cab with him. Bobby and Todd sat in the bed of the truck and watched for large animals they could shoot. They had decided to start in the part of the forest that was closest to a small town. The reported sighting had come from one of the locals and the friends figured that the zombie wouldn’t stray too far from the easy hunting ground. When they arrived in the small town they stopped at the store. Many small stores had reopened selling what it could manage to get. Every single store they went to, Todd would check for potato chips.
    “Finally! See this trip is a great idea already.” Todd sang as he ripped open his chips. Sue Ann and Mary Beth both rolled their eyes but little smiles spread across their face. They knew that Todd was much easier to be around when he was in a good mood. They didn’t care if it was chips or shooting at trees. They indulged him when they could. “Alright, let’s do this!” He yelled and Joe took the dirt road to the entrance to the state park and forest. They pulled in and immediately saw rows of abandoned cars. Most of the cars had plants growing around them and looked like they had been there for a while.
    Some of the car doors were open and picnic baskets were haphazardly strewn on the ground. It looked like a time capsule. From the way the cars were parked and which doors were open, it looked like there was a massive attack and the zombies killed all of the park goers at once. But there were no bodies. Somehow, Mary Beth felt like it was much creepier without bodies. They all walked slowly through the parking lot. They checked each car to make sure nothing was hiding. Wind blew through the trees above making the branches dance a melancholy dance over the car graveyard. Slam! The car door from the chevy behind them slammed shut making Mary Beth and Todd jump out of fear.
    “It’s just the wind.” Sue Ann said flatly. Mary Beth stared at the car door. Something didn’t feel right and the hair began to stand up of the back of her neck. She felt something watching her. She looked around but couldn’t see anything. Bobby, who had been talking loudly quieted down too. Each of the five felt the same eerie presence. They looked around in every direction and behind every car but they couldn’t find anything or anyone. They tried to shake the feeling but they couldn’t. Bobby looked at Todd and said, “Maybe it’s time we got our guns?”
     
    Todd’s mood had changed dramatically from his euphoric experience with the chips. “Yea, let’s just find the damn thing and shoot it.” All five of them headed to the car. Each chose a different kind of gun and took the matching ammo.
    “Alright, I say we search the perimeter of the parking lot. That way we will find any trails they may have created.” Said Bobby and the rest nodded. They split up in two groups. They walked slowly around each side until they met at the far end of the parking lot.
    “We didn’t see anything…” Said Todd. Sue Ann looked around them and noticed something. There was a swarm of flies coming from a tall patch of grass at the bottom of a nearby tree. She grabbed Todd’s arm.
