Just how tired are you?” “You need to think about yourself every once in a while.” “I know your work is important, but you’re going to end up in hospital if you go on like this!” “You haven’t even touched your food.

"Here, have my jacket"

“If you don’t mind, I would rather not celebrate anything that has to do with corpses being strewn anywhere.” His comrade’s sense of humor was dark at best, but he couldn’t blame the guy for trying to keep going through such hellish times. Nothing was going to get them out of the hell they lived through day in and day out. Maybe cracking jokes was a coping mechanism that Jake just didn’t understand.

“Do you imagine there will be a time where we don’t have corpses in our periphery?.” came the reply, and with it a dryly amused glance sideways. “If that’s the case, I’d have to admire your optimism. Perhaps the dead will one day run out of steam.”

He couldn’t explain the sudden talkative mood--so far was this fluid sarcasm from the usual murmur or grunt he’d throw his companion’s way that the words only barely managed to leave his tongue in order in their eagerness. Maybe it was the way the wind blew today. Maybe it was the sun. Maybe it was the unspoken rule that, if one guy was quiet or somber in a conversation, the other tried to counteract it with their own stories. The patterns were easy to fall for. Even for a guy like him. Police, doctors, hitmen, they all used to use black humour to get through it all. What could he say? It helped.  Even so. One couldn’t help their thoughts becoming the slightest bit tinted when surrounded by this. Bodies becoming as common as gum on the sidewalk. It wasn’t the prospect of death that unsettled him -- he was used to death. It was rather the idea that death no longer existed. That permanence had now taken residence where death was once a sweet relief from the languid pool of existence. You know, if he thought about it too hard.

“Isn’t that a lovely dream.”

It’s only with a jump, followed by a glare, that Zach finally elects to slide his feet down from the tattered sofa of their temporary residence. He sat there for a moment, hunched over and pressing his fingertips against his eyes, burning with fatigue, before --

“Do me a favour and take the night watch next time, so that I may rudely interrupt your rest, too.”

"What is that? Are there bandages under your shirt?"

"Why is your arm wrapped up like that? And are those blood stains!?"

"You must have hit the back of your head really hard."

"Look at me. Just look at me and stay awake. Can you do that?"

“Nothing positive about grinning like an idiot.”

“Didn’t you ever hear that phrase, ‘you’re never fully dressed without a smile?’ Methinks you, sir, are in fact going through life mostly naked.”

“And with that logic, I dread to imagine the layers upon sweltering layers of clothing on your person.

I feel kinda… dizzy…”

Through the streaks of grime and gleaming sweat that clung to his face, one could’ve sworn there was a twitch about the cheeks as he heard her speak for the first time in what had felt like an hour. Far behind them, the low thrum of the flames still beat through the trees and the column of smoke rose far above like a giant black tentacle, blotting out the mid-morning sun. Zach shut his eyes and bullied his tired body into a kneeling position, trying to ignore the coughing wheeze that still accompanied every other gulp for air.He  had carried her as far as was physically possible. With the pillar of smoke in the air acting as a beacon to all the wandering souls in the area, getting out of there had been essential. Inventory checks could wait for later. Until his own head began to swim in want for oxygen and his lungs spoke sharply of the smoke that had inhabited them not minutes ago, and he was forced to set her down to take a break and try to take a deep breath. So far, so unsuccessful. The coughing had only gotten worse as the time went on by, and the cold did nothing to help.

They had both been upstairs when the fire had been lit; they’d both gotten the same dosage, though hers had had a much smaller body to play around in. When the stairs had given way he had leapt down into the rubble before her and it was there, crouching beneath the writhing mass of smoke above, he realised something. He could leave her. He had no responsibility for this kid; for God’s sake, they weren’t family, nor were they even particularly friends. He could bolt out of the door and not waste a second in guilt – he was capable of it, he was sure.  Hell, he’d done it before. Instead, his arms extended out, and with that one word his line of thought had been broken.                                                                                                                            [ –   “Jump!” – ]

                             R u s t l e.

 Zach jumped. With a quick and clumsy movement, he shambled to his feet and threw a sweeping glance around the surrounding woodland. The conifers still whispered amongst themselves in the morsels of wind that squeezed through, but otherwise all was still and quiet. Except –                                            Crunch. Rustle. Silence.

“It’ll pass. Deep breaths. Lie on your back.” he instructed tersely, eyes still attempting to penetrate the shadows between the neighboring trunks, gritting his teeth as a fierce headache begun to take root in his temples. “I think we’re going to need our strength.”

The fire hadn’t been an accident, he knew that much already. No electricity, no gas running, not even a spark could have set that place off. In fact, he had the distinctly horrible feeling that they had been drawn out. That despite escaping the threat of the fire and the dead around them,                            they were not alone.
