Off in the distance, hundreds of lifeless began to shuffle toward town. Vernon turned and saw the cowboy he’d killed staring at him with bloodshot eyes.
“We have to get out of here,” Vernon said.
Emmett answered, “I agree. It’ll only get worse.”
Vernon patted him on the back. He was a good man to have on his side.
They watched them scurry about like insects surrounding the few remaining living. The corpses hadn’t crossed a burned-out piece of road.
Vernon added, “West is our ticket out.”
Hell-bent for leather on horseback, they left the living and the un-dead behind.
