Aaron took his keys out of his pocket and started up the SUV while he waited for the others to bring the food and videos they would use to trade. Soon enough, his thoughts drifted to his Mom, and his last memory of her. And boy, was it a horrifying one. His mom smiling at him with the cake in her hands after leaving Aaron and Audrey in the car. In another moment her face was nauseous, and another, she had dropped the cake and was coughing up blood. Then it was pouring out her eyes, and pretty soon she was slamming her fists against the windows as blood coated every inch of her and her guts were practically bursting out her stomach. Aaron snapped back from his memory and curled up in a ball, crying inside the SUV.
