Reverse Zombieland

Fear passes

                        _With the Scartins_

Kara was frightfully sobbing as her parents tried desperately to comfort her and each other. "It's all my fault!" Eva sniveled as she burst into another bout of crying. "What do you mean,this isn't your fault" replied Michael in his deep gruff voice,hoarse from crying himself after hearing all the screams but being unable to help. "It's all my fault..." Eva pauses to blow her nose then continued sniffing. "Because I should have been a good assistant and made sure Dave followed me into the cellar with the last sample." She yelled,angry at herself for something she couldn't control. "I.. should have...helped...him." she continued sniffling. "I..should have...done something...to help." Eva whispered mournfully. Kara rises from her seat "I'll put away the leftovers from dinner." Not waiting for a response she heads into the kitchen,leaving Michael and Eva alone in the living room. "Maybe some rest will do you some good. Come on honey." Michael said as he guides a sobbing Eva up to their bedroom closing the door behind them. Kara puts everything away into the fridge and cabinets before washing the dishes.Not realizing she was deep in thought, until her mother's high pitched wailing snaps her out of it,and returned to washing the dishes. Once finished she puts on a happy movie with the volume low and captions on as to not disturb her parents. When the movie was over and she was feeling much better she turns off the lights and tries to go to bed. She tried to sleep even when hearing the crazed howls and wails outside her window. Eventually she falls into a deep fitful sleep wishing this was all a bad dream she could wake up from.
