Emilio Zubizarreta & Abuela Zubizarreta group one
The town of Edgemont was, even at first glance, noticeably rural. It was a small town, though Emilio wasnβt sure why he had expected it to be more than that. A single main street bordered by one of everything. One grocer. One pharmacy. One post office. One dentist. And it was horribly, horribly, awfully overrun. Abuela had halted their progress on the crest of a hill, looking down onto the small town. Their group had collected, huddled beneath an overpass of another narrow road. It was a perfect vantage point, especially if you liked to see what bubbling horde of walkers looked like from a distance. None had noticed them yet and Emilio was praying to that sweet Virgin Mary that they would never have the chance. βAbuelita?β Emilioβs voice was a tentative squeak, the whisper it was meant to be was lost in his panic. βWhat now? What do we do?β He wrung his hands together, pudgy fingers sliding through palms over and over and over and over again as though heβd eventually look down and the answer would be written on his hands. Abuela, on the other hand, was silent and solid. She didnβt move, but Emilio could see the gears turning slowly in her head. Cranking and grinding away until they would spit out the answer. At last, the old woman firmly replied, βWe need a car, mi cielo. No, a truck.β With that, Emilio already began mentally doubling back on their journey here. An hour long, just as he had estimated and a straight shot to Edgemont if you stuck to the road. But those calculations had been plain and simple. Not this. Edgemont required-- demanded, really --a different sort of measuring. Scales. Balancing. Weighing the price of life against the cost of death and walkers swarming the little town were currently inflating those prices like Emilio had never seen before. Had he been in a city at the time of the outbreak, the overrun podunk little town below would have looked like a cake walk, like nothing more than a handful of minnows trapped in a tidepool. But Emilio had not been in the city and walkers were walkers no matter their numbers. So, looking down at that town, Emilio could only wonder if it was worth it. They didnβt know for certain where the supposed safe haven was. It could be in the center of town. It could be a ways outside it. For all he knew, the town itself had once been the safe haven and was now nothing more than a gas station for hungry roamers with no place to go and all the time in the world to get there. Was it worth it? Was Edgemont worth all the trouble they were going through to get to it. Before he knew it, Abuela was speaking again, handing out instructions while he had zoned out. βWe need to send someone scouting ahead before we decide anything. Someone fast and light on their feet. We have to know if Edgemontβs got anything worth taking before diving in there.β She glanced around the group from behind owl-like spectacles, gaze bouncing off of one face and onto another. It was in those moments of his grandmotherβs orders that Emilioβs eyes wandered to the cement walls holding up the bridge above them. The young manβs eyes popped wide and his heart thudded fear against his ribs. βAbuelita! Abuelita mira! Mira!β Spray painted in fresh, dripping black was this:Go Quick Die Sick! And below that, in different handwriting and pink, rather than black:Donβt let them fool you Abuela glared hard at the writing, her lips pursing in a frown as she adjusted her glasses, eyebrows knitting together in an expression Emilio recognized as her reading face. Usually, her reading face was reserved for newspapers and novellas, never for hooligan graffiti. Attempting to hide his shaking, Emilio studied it alongside her, inching a step closer to better see. The first half, in black, was skillful in a way that only someone who knew how to wield a can of spray paint could be. It was almost artful. The pink, however, was simple. Straight lines. Plain curves. No fooling around. No wasting time. Straight to the point. It was beneath the pink words that caught Emilioβs attention. A picture of some kind, in black. Must have been the work of the original spray painters. He could just barely make out a skull. Maybe a wheel? No. What was it.
