Project Dakota: Rising of the dead
Every loud sound felt like a blasphemy now, a challenge issued to the dead who were always, always listening.
Sparks flew, a tiny, fleeting fireworks display in the overcast afternoon light. Moe stood a few feet back, his own rifle sweeping the debris-strewn alley behind us, a constant, vigilant silhouette. I watched the muscles in Carlos’s back and shoulders bunch and release with each swing. He was a big man, built like a slab of granite, and the axe was an extension of his will. With a final, grunting heave, the lock’s shackle gave way with a screech of tortured metal, clattering to the asphalt like a dead thing.
