Raven


The white van she was driving now had red smears all over the front.  Raven pressed on the pedal hard as she ran over another undead person, struggling with the wheel to keep it in control.  Sitting next to her in the passenger seat was a complete stranger, and so were the other two elderly woman buckled in behind them.  She didn't even know any of their names yet, but she saved them.  For whatever reason, she was helping anyone she could along the way.  Maybe it would bite her in the ass down the line, but for right now, it felt like the human thing to do.  They all needed each other.

"Watch out!!" the man sitting next to her yelled as she toppled over another infected.

"Sorry!" Raven said, wincing as she did so.

"We have to get off the main roads!" one of the woman behind her said.

"Working on it!" Raven shot back.
