Littlefield - Part 10
by EJ Leonard
Do you hear that horn, I hope?
Who is this?
It’s Jacob’s friend, Nora
The psychic lady?
Uh, the psychic lady who is about to save your ass!
How did you find me??
I had this weird dream that led me to you.
JK, Jared texted me telling me where you were and that you needed help.
Are he and my sister okay???
He’s gone radio silent.
Well if you’re psychic, shouldn’t you know?
Listen, it’s a little hard to tap in right now...
so if you don’t need me to display more of my psychic prowess to prove myself...
let’s just say I’m trying to focus on drawing these dead walkers away from you...
so you can stay alive...yeah?
Sorry. Where are you?
Not too far away from you on the West side of the park.
I’m going to sit here and keep leaning on the horn.
Do you have access to a window?
Yes
I need you to go look and see when they’re all gone...
then make a mad dash to the quarry, and I’ll speed over to you.
The QUARRY!? That’s TOO FAR IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
Not a smart one, I see...So the point is -
I draw them away, then I’ll drive to the quarry...
which should be empty by the time I get there
What if they all don’t go toward you?
They’ll come. And as you are already aware, they are not fast...
so when we speed over there, they won’t catch up and -
if there are a few stragglers you’ll be able to get away
I don’t think I can do it.
It’s your only choice right now.
I’m too scared.
If you had the balls to try to find your sister on a bicycle...
you have the balls to do this.
Just breath. Now go to the window.
Okay....
Are they gone??
Not all of them...
Maybe I should add some death metal to the mix
I thought psychics just listened to New Age stuff
That stuff makes me want to claw my ears off my skull
The stragglers are moving.
Are you ready to make the dash?
No... but I’ll do it anyway.
That’s the spirit! Okay, go, and text me when you’re there.
k...
Have you left yet???
No...
GO!! THEY’RE SURROUNDING MY CAR!
OKAY OKAY!
Nora, there’s a man here on the ground. He’s alive, but he’s been bitten
Is he conscious?
Kind of
You have to leave him.
I can’t just leave him. He’s alive! They’ll come after him!
If he’s been bitten by these things, he’s going to turn into one
How do you know?? And don’t say you just do!!
It happened to my brother...
Oh my god...
Now just leave him, and come to me, I’m almost there.
I can’t leave him...you have to come help me get him.
What if there’s some sort of cure or something?
There won’t be for awhile, and that I just know.
He’s looking at me.
GO!!!
Are you on your way??
Yes...
I think I got turned around though
Shit. Okay, so what I’m going to do is I’m going to park the car...
and shine a flashlight, so we won’t make noise
I have a really big one, so you won’t be able to miss it.
Then you follow the light to where I am. You got it?
Okay...
Do you see me?
No, not yet
Why don’t you look at that compass everyone has on their phones.
And just go whatever says west
I’m sorry. I’m pulling up the map instead
Saved by the blue dot
Shine the light anyway just in case, so I know exactly where you are okay?
I’m standing outside, and shining it right now
I see it!!!
Alright, so hurry!
I am!
The keys are in the ignition. Drive east, don’t stop
What? I don’t drive!
Just drive east
Is everything okay???
Nora??
NORA????
