Parched?
You look like you could use a drink. Go on, don't worry, it isn't from the tap. I know society's preference for filtered or bottled water.
Taste good, doesn't it? Refreshing. I bet you didn't even detect the contaminants as it slithered down your throat. I know I didn't. Nor, did half the world's population.
Oh, vomiting won't help.
The pharmaceutical ingredient in that glass has already seeped into your bloodstream. It's already reduced your prospects down to three possibilities: sweet death, transformation into yet another undead, mindless devourer... or, my personal fate, a cross between human and cannibal.
Not that you have a choice, really. Your body will take care of that.
If the universe chooses the afterlife for you, say hello to the devil for me. If converting into a lifeless devourer is your destiny, the hunger will most likely erase this conversation from your ravaged mind. However, if you're lucky enough to become a flesh savant... then welcome to the feast.
Bon Appetit!
Oh, and please excuse the screams. Our meals around here can be quite... rambunctious.

After a mysterious vehicle runs them off the road, Alex and his bandmates must fight for their lives to escape a vicious pack of wolves who bear unsettling similarities to the other band they are touring with.
*****
Alex is the lead singer of the up-and-coming rock band Make Them Scream. Despite the fact that the insomnia he's fought with since he was a teenager has been worsening, the band have found themselves in the express lane to stardom. But, when a mysterious vehicle knocks their tour bus off the road in the middle of upstate Montana, the bandmates are left stranded with no cell service. When poor decisions lead them toward the dark woods, things go from bad to worse. If the elements don't get them first, their own demons might devour them alive. Some monsters only come out in the dark, and some reality is scarier than nightmares.
