You back away from the door, going back to your car and driving in the opposite direction, looping the block and parking behind a neighbors privacy greenery.
You keep an eye on the house, watching for movement. But it's warm in the car. And the day has worn you out. The adrenaline you were running on has made you crash, and crash hard.
It's a few hours later when you wake up to the darkened violet sky, the horizon glowing orange with fires.
Terror makes you jolt up when you realize someone is watching you. They tap on the window.
You breathe out. They aren't one of them. You shout at them through the closed window.
"What?"
"I'm your neighbor." They respond loudly.
You nod, recognizing them now.
"I think your roommate is dead."
You feel yourself go cold. "What?" You open the car door, exiting the vehicle. "What do you-?"
"There was someone in your house." Your neighbor looks pale, you notice she has blood seeping through her shirt. "They went inside and-" her hands make a gun and fire. "I-I haven't checked myself, but someone left and someone else didn't." She wiped at her brow. "And those dogs just took 9ff down the road."
You nod, numb, moving towards your house before she's finished. Stumbling inside in the darkness. You flip the switch, barely able to make out the figure slumped against the wall.
The lights don't work. You forgot to bring your cellphone with you. It stinks, you realize. Like death.
Tears well in your eyes. "Hey." You whisper, within arms reach. "Hey!" You can tell now it's your partner. You shake them by the shoulders.
And their eyes snap open. And they grab you right back.
It's then you see the bite marks on their forearms. You notice their mouth opening wide.
