[hr]	

	As Jack reached into his bag to pull out the map, he was once again hit with the crushing realization that he was losing his mind. He couldn't trust his own five senses anymore. Even as his eyes poured over the map, attempting to figure out the best possible route for his survival, he doubted that it was even real. This could all easily be in his head and the next thing he'd know, he'd wake up in the infirmary, told that he was running around and screaming about Newnan sinking. Was it genetic? He hoped not. His mother had always seemed stable, his father...Jack didn't know too much about him. He didn't want to pass this onto his child, if it was mental illness.

	[color=00ff00]"Looks like north is the best choice,"[/color] Jack explained, gesturing on the map. The other option was south, but it wasn't really an option - they couldn't go back into Newnan. Looking up from the map, he spotted half a dozen walkers to the northwest, about 100 yards out. He thanked his lucky stars that they hadn't noticed them yet. 

	[color=00ff00]"Walkahs coming our way - we gotta move."[/color]

	Tiffany held it together as much as she could. But Zach wouldn't be silent, it seemed. [color=C8D03F]"How can I be dead, Tiff, when I am standing right here?"[/color] Tiffany looked and saw him. He looked exactly how she remembered him. Her heart started beating faster. How could this be? He was dead. She knew he was dead, but she could hear him. And see him! [color=D9E0F9]"Jack, it's Zach. He's over there!"[/color] She urged Jack onward, ignoring the area around her.

	Soon she got near. He continued to stare at her. She just needed to reach him. Tears started swimming in her eyes as she felt every twinge of guilt ride up in her throat. Zach merely cocked his head to the side and waved, before he dissipated into thin air.

	Tiffany stopped short before she realized what she had done. She had seen a ghost and nearly got herself in trouble, along with Jack. Zach was dead. She moved on. She couldn't stop for too long to think about this now. Later on, she would have time to go insane. Now, she needed to make sure Jack and herself got out safely. [color=D9E0F9]"It was nothing. Never mind. North, you said? Let's get going."[/color]

	Jack didn't understand why, but Tiffany didn't seem to be faring well either. Had they both been driven mad? He cautiously walked with her, uncertain as to what to say. It was clear that she had seen something - and so had he. Come to think of it, even Ray had hallucinated something earlier. Was everyone in Newnan going mad? Was there something in the air that was causing them to simply snap? [color=00ff00]"It's...It's okay. I saw Sutton. I saw Tatiana. And...And I heard Dick too,"[/color] Jack admitted. Tiffany may as well be just as sane as he was. 

	He paused for a beat, before motioning for Tiffany to follow him. To get out of the area near Newnan without getting killed by walkers would be a trick. Glancing at his surroundings, he noticed bits of fallen rubble and piles of snow - enough for two people to hide behind. [color=00ff00]"Ninja-like, okay?"[/color] Jack explained to Tiffany. He moved northward once more, ducking behind whatever he could for cover to avoid getting spotted by the walkers. Fortunately, none of them seemed to notice him, and he threw an encouraging look back towards Tiffany as he crouched behind a bit of rubble.

	Tiffany looked up just as Jack was mentioning Dick and she saw him too. He was dead, again. But she saw his body, laying there, being eaten by a walker. She let out a shaky breath. She knew it wasn't real, but the fact she was seeing and hearing these ghosts of horror's past was worrying her. They needed to get out. Get to some semblance of safety where she can calm down. [color=D9E0F9]"I see him too. He's right over there, being eaten. It's not real so don't look. I don't like this Jack..."[/color]

	However, her peace of mind aside, she crouched down with Jack and avoided having the walkers see her. She ninja'd along with him. She nodded her approval. If they were going to get out of this, they had to be smart and being smart meant not letting visions affect you. If they wanted to be there, so be it.

	Jack followed Tiffany's gaze, looking towards where the fake!Dick might have been. His heart clenched as he saw an incredibly pregnant Tatiana running from the walkers. He couldn't tell if she was real or not. If she was real, he'd shoot all of those walkers down and swoop into save her. But with his current mental state, all he could do was ask Tiffany for confirmation as he continued to creep forward, ducking behind rubble and anything else that kept them from the walkers' line of sight.

	[color=00ff00]"I see Tati...You see her too? She real?"[/color] Jack asked, his voice betraying just how broken he felt.

	[color=D9E0F9]"No Jack, I don't see her. She's not real. Dick isn't real. Zach isn't real. I even saw Ray running with both legs before and I was sure it wasn't a hallucination. If I'm losing my mind, I'd rather be in a safe space than the pit that is now Newnan and not alongside a group of walkers."[/color]

	Tiffany continued to follow Jack's lead as they snuck around the horde. She wasn't doing too well. She felt herself starting to break, but she had to hold it together. Not only for herself, but for Jack too. She knew it was hard on him also. They had each other to rely on, at least. Hopefully the others got out ok too.
