The Dead Don't Wait

The silence in Ashland was always the worst part. The absence of birdsong, the stillness of the wind-a constant reminder of the life that had been devoured. But lately, the silence is broken by something far more unsettling: whispers. Not the moans of the infected, but hushed rumors of the dead exhibiting new behaviors, acting with a chilling sense of urgency.

For Sheriff Brody, who's seen more than his fair share of horrors in this new world, these tales are a disturbing omen. Something is changing. And whatever it is, it's clear that the dead no longer operate by the old, predictable rules. The dead don't wait. And whatever they're waiting for, it can't be good.
