[That first night set the tone. In the end, Flash agreed to Harry's suggestion that they search through the night, and Gwen suspected he only did so to avoid a fight that would waste precious moments of remaining daylight. But they were blind in the dark, no lights anywhere save their flashlights. It was hard to stay together while running from the undead that seemed to be even more prevalent in the darkness. They'd lost each other repeatedly through that long night, only to find each other again when a gunshot or scream guided their feet in the dark, and by morning they were far away from the safety of houses or highways. There was nowhere to take cover, and the forest was thick and humid. The Southeast, she figured, based on the topography she'd noted before darkness fell, and even that bit of science wasn't reassuring.
They did a better job of staying together after that, but it had been nearly a week of the same. They had a few rations left, and they needed to find a water supply to replenish their stores. But Flash remained in contact with Mary Jane, and they were close; Harry wouldn't want to stop now, and Gwen didn't even suggest it. She'd stopped suggesting anything three days earlier. Words felt as useless as science here.
They reached the edge of the farmland just before sunrise. A flickering candle was visible in a high farmhouse window ahead, down a dusty road that was a barbwire-lined obstacle course, a few flailing zombies impaled on the rusty metal.]
