really going on in his head.
    “What the hell is going on up here?” Bernard said as they approached the town limits.
    Dietrich looked out the window and saw several police cars along the road. Behind the cars several barricades had been set up. An officer approached as Bernard pulled up. Dietrich noticed he wasn’t local, it was a DPS officer.
    “Sir, I need to ask you turn the vehicle around and go back,” the officer said.
    “Go back where? These people live here. I’m taking them home.”
    “No sir. Town is closed for right now. You need to go back.”
    “Closed? How is a town closed? What’s going on?” Bernard asked.
    “Sir. I’m not gonna tell you again. You either go back, or you’ll all be arrested for disorderly conduct.”  “Are you serious?” Dietrich chimed in. “You can at least tell us what—,” Dietrich was cut off by the other officers’ screaming. The officer at their vehicle ran back toward the barricades. Several of the officers had high powered rifles and were shooting at something, but Dietrich couldn’t see anything.
    “Does this have anything to do with Simon?” Sharon asked.
    “What do you mean?”
    “Well, Simon killed his sister. You told us all about this Indian spirit or whatever. Now they are shooting at something.”
    “I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. There could be anything happening here,” Dietrich said as there was a scream from outside. He looked up and saw several people on top of the barricades. The officers were shooting them, but as some were going down, others kept coming. One of them twisted off an officer’s head and kicked it as if he were punting a football. The officer’s body fell to the ground as another officer shot the man from behind. Dietrich noticed how distorted the people’s faces were.
    More and more of them came over the cars and barricade. The officers were outnumbered, and their guns weren’t all that effective against the approaching horde. One afflicted tore an officer’s rifle away and began hitting him in the face with it. The officer’s head split open after several blows, blood and brains pouring out onto the street.
    “Go back,” Dietrich said.
    “What?” Bernard said.
    “Go back. In reverse. Now! Go!”
    Bernard threw it in reverse and started the car backwards, just as Dietrich saw several of those afflicted starting after them. They were fast too; one of them almost got a hand on the SUV. Simon hadn’t moved an inch. His expression was still blank as he stared out the window at the melee.  Bernard kept driving in reverse until the SUV slammed into a utility pole. Glass and metal crunched as the pole teetered and fell onto the top of the SUV. The top of the car had caved in, mostly in the backseat near Simon, who was small enough to avoid it hitting him. The doors all flew open as they all climbed out of the vehicle. Sharon ran around and grabbed Simon, pulling him out of the SUV.
    Several of the afflicted were closing in on them. As they got closer Dietrich could see just how messed up they all were. They were all grunting and screaming profanities. They started to run from the afflicted, but Bernard was hobbling on his right foot.
    “I think I broke my foot,” he said. As Dietrich put his arm around him, the afflicted surrounded them.
    “Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!” Sharon kept saying.
    “Father, give me Last Rites please.” Bernard said.
    “I’m not a priest anymore.”
    “Just do it. Please?”
    The afflicted began closing in on them. Sharon held Simon close to her, but he pushed away.
    “Simon! What are you doing?” She tried to grab at him but he moved toward the afflicted.
    Dietrich cringed, waiting for the afflicted to mob them and rip their limbs off and swallow up the boy. Instead, the afflicted moved back as Simon approached them.
    “Stop,” Simon said to them. “None of them are to be harmed.”
    The afflicted all backed away and started to gather around him, all looking at him
