It's been calling out to me from the fields for weeks now, begging me in every voice it tore from my dreams.
Begging me to step outside and face it - face them - one last time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no coward and I'm not afraid to face the people I've killed but that thing isn't a person - I don't know what it's capable of and it seems to be very aware of what I'm capable of. I never go into a fight without knowing what my chances of winning are and this feels like it'd be the end of me.
I have to stay alive, I have to keep removing these things hiding in the husks of long dead people before they can make husks of everyone around them. I suppose it's technically not killing if they're already dead but I don't especially fancy discussing the semantics with the less-then-thrilled authorities.
Not that I can even reach out to any at the moment - whatever's out there is jamming the signals.
I'm alone with it and it's alone with me, asking me to accept death.
