  • The Pales   A New Base

    They disappeared back into the forest and we soon heard the roar of engines being turned on. About three dune buggies rolled out of the woods onto the highway. Daniels yelled to mount up and the convoy got into their respective Humvees. As they got in, the dune buggies took off and the convoy followed. After about fifteen minutes of following them they turned down a dusty road with a broken checkpoint and the convoy followed for another five minutes until they came to a concrete set of doors and a large concrete wall with what seemed to be plywood walls at the top with peepholes, for gun fire. Daniels thought this was smart. It would minimize casualties from Pale jumps, the base itself seemed large, it seemed about two kilometers wide and the wall covered the whole base instead of a wired fence with barbed wire.mThe doors slowly opened up and the now larger convoy drove in. There was no checkpoint on this base, which was odd to Daniels. This meant the base was created after t

  • The Pales   The Ruined City Part Two

    The Pales could be heard from all over as the convoy raced through the city. Their screams, howls and shrieks were everywhere. Daniels had no idea there were so many Pales in this city, and he prayed to god they would all make it out alive. He could only pray and rely on Richards driving skills as they attempted to flee the city.Suddenly the Pales were closing in, as Daniels heard them closer than the last wails from earlier. Then all of sudden the middle Humvee, with the civilians and Anderson, got knocked out of the convoy! The screech of metal being bent can be heard. Daniels felt a shiver of anger and fear as their wails faded behind the convoy.Their screams could be heard, driving off, in the rearview mirror he could see the bodies of Pales filling their headlights and darting out of their way as we kept going towards the exit of the city as fast as the convoy could. Running over Pales, darting towards the exit of the city while dodging equipment and fortifications along the way

  • The Pales   The Ruined City

    Zane’s POVZane watched from a distance as Bellman, Daniels and Michael had a conversation around the smoking Humvee. They talked for a minute and then Daniels headed over to his squad. Anderson, Richards, Carl, David we are all spread out so Daniels called them together.“Alright ladies, we have a problem. The Humvee needs a new fuel injector OR fuel regulator. So I’m sending you guys out to get both. There should be Humvees in the area, so take these parts from one and get back to us.”“Permission to lead the mission due to my prior mechanical knowledge?” Richards requested.“Permission granted, Richards.” Daniels said with authority.“Okay I want Zane to take point. Anderson you’re in the rear, covering our six. Carl and David taking the side points. I’ll take the center.” Richards barked his orders out quickly. With that Zane could see Richards might be warming up a little by making him point and that warmed his heart. “Warming up to me Richards?” Zane asked him.“No. But I will a

  • The Pales   New York

    ***The night went by with no disturbances. The convoy was on the road by 08:00, the convoy was getting closer to New York and Daniels didn’t know what to expect. Ruined city view was expected but how ruined? Were there any survivors still in the city or was it overrun with Pales? If there were survivors, would they be friendly or hostile, having survived eight to ten years on their own? These questions flowed in his head as he fell asleep. Bellman’s POVBellman and the convoy are on the road again after a good night’s rest. He knows his squad and himself slept with their ears perked listening for any sound of Pales. Bellman didn’t know what to expect in New York but he had an idea from what he’s seen in the last ten years. The buildings would be shelled, due to the conflict with Pales from before the collapse. Debris might be everywhere as well. New York had been a hot battle for control of the city back in the day.He hadn’t been stationed to fight there but heard the stories. The

  • The Pales   The Plan

    The two hallways stretch into the building on the right and left of the desk that was stationed right in front of them by about 10 meters. They were dark and had a scent of mold and decay about them.The building was a mess. It had clearly been overrun. There were dried bloodstains from corpses being dragged on the floor and bloody, smeared handprints on the walls. These trails were mostly in the hallway to the right. The building was dark so these were lit up by the flashlights.“Clear. Let’s clear the rest of the building.” Daniels said quietly. “Richards, Carl and David on the left. Anderson, Zane and I on the right, let’s go.”They split into those two groups and started to sweep the building. Zane decided to sheathe his blade and pull out his torch in case he needed to see better. Zane gripped it in his left hand under his pistol and took point once again.They cleared individual rooms down the hallway. Going through about thirty different rooms before they came to a door that pr

  • The Pales   Without Shelter

    Everyone exited the Humvees and gathered in the parking lot. From what Zane could see Daniels was the highest rank, besides the other Sergeant. His insignia was different from Daniels but he assumed it was Sergeant anyways. This Sergeant was about 6’1, he was an african american man with finely toned muscle. Zane could not see his hair, but green eyes shone from beneath his bandana that he wore on his face. His eyes were bright against his skin tone. Zane assumed he had a shaved head with a finely shaved beard. His men were all a little shorter than him. They looked like hardened men. Their faces were covered with bandanas and their helmets were black as well. They all have different designs on them, the Sergeant’s has a skull and crossbones. It was on top of the helmet. The other six men have rifles and snakes on their helmets.These men and the four civilians stood near the Humvees. The civilians were standing in the parking lot while these seven soldiers scanned the base wi

    Richards and the Jackson brothers pulled up from behind and parked in their Humvee’s spot as well. Everyone got out and gathered around Daniels’ Humvee and waited for orders.“Carl and David, take Williams to the morgue. Richards and Zane you can go now. I’m heading to HQ for a debrief so I will cat

    Zane woke to a loud ringing noise which was his alarm clock going off. He lay there a minute, his mind fogged, taking comfort in the presence the bed made, it was amazing for a cot. Zane got up and turned it off, he started to undress and put his old clothes on, strap on his sidearm, equip his dagge
