Newt ran through the cave following the other "cranklings" through the twisting and turning passages that consumed the light from the mouth of the cave and sending it plummetting into a blackness. It was not long ago that Newt was here with Thomas, and they were running, infected but sane. Newt had hated the cranks, and now he was one, well, almost!

There was barely enough time to reach the caves entrance, let alone the end of the tunnel before he fell back to the floor a bullet hole in the back of his head. That was the rule, anyone attacks, goes full crank. They die! No-one wants to be the next but at one point or another the hunger will consume you!
