Who: Adam Layman and Billie Jenkins
What: Adam's just showing up. He meets Billie.
When: Tuesday afternoon.
Where: Starts outside of the library.
Rating: Probably low.
Adam Layman didn't know what was going on. All he knew was that one minute he was slowly climbing onto the bus that would be taking him and Phoebe home from school, and the next... he was in a library. Then he was being carried out of said library, then a PDA was put in his hands.
He stared, expressionless and without blinking, at the city in front of him, still no idea how he got there or what was going on. With the lack of movement, it would have been easy to mistake him for a statue standing right at the top of the stairs that led down to the sidewalk. Stairs, he thought to himself after concentrating hard enough to look down. I hate stairs. Stairs are hard. And they were hard for him. Most days since his death it was hard enough for him to walk a strait line, let alone get down stairs. To handle them easily, they required more mobility than he had back so far.
God, he hated what he'd become. He hated that it was so hard to do something as simple as walking down stairs, something that he used to take for granted. Really, he could just stay put there. It wasn't like he was ever going to have to eat or sleep or anything, and bad weather wouldn't bother him. But he figured he shouldn't try to stand out more than he was already bound to.
Out of the corner of his eye he noticed the sign saying the place was called Colligo. Adam had never heard of a place with that name, and the fact that now he knew it, it didn't exactly make him want to move any sooner.
What if the people here were all anti-zombies? Not everywhere was as nice to them as Oakvale, Connecticut was. And they weren't even all that nice back home, especially not any more.
