"Let's go home first." The eyes of neighbors and acquaintances cut into me like knives. I shuddered all over and finally believed that I really had been reborn.

Before anyone could react, Nicholas was torn apart by the strength of his blood. His body went limp, his pupils dilated, and his breathing stopped. Tobias watched as Nicholas died right in front of him. Then, he threw his head back and unleashed a deep, guttural howl. Everything within a five-mile radius was destroyed by the force of his aura.

A layout diagram of the bunker. Seven bunks, one incubation unit, the storeroom at the end of the hallway, the concrete-sealed door nearly two feet thick. In the bottom right corner of the diagram, a note in my own handwriting: "The apocalypse has to feel real. Push the heat up, make the water filthy — let the audience practically smell it.
